Shucks Tavern & Oyster Bar is a great place to eat quality and inexpensive food. When I went with my family, I ordered the sweet siracha wings, and my two kids ordered the sliders. The meal was well prepared and very delicious!
However, the dining experience was significantly marred by the atmosphere. The kitchen staff in the back were obnoxiously loud and used vulgar language throughout my meal. This was not just a momentary outburst but a constant background noise that made it difficult to enjoy the otherwise delightful food.
Our server was very apologetic about the situation, acknowledging the inappropriate behavior from the kitchen. Despite their apologies, the disruptive behavior continued unabated. It was clear that this was not an isolated incident, as the staff seemed entirely comfortable behaving this way even after it was brought to their attention.
Given the language and volume coming from the kitchen, I would not recommend Shucks Tavern & Oyster Bar as a suitable place for families with children. The environment was not conducive to a pleasant meal, especially for younger diners who shouldn't be exposed to such language.
Overall, the food was really good, but the experience is severely affected by the unprofessional conduct of the kitchen staff. I hope the management addresses this issue soon, as it detracts from what could otherwise be a great restaurant for me and my kids to enjoy frequently.
