Tried it out for the first time yesterday, and it has rocketed into my top recommendations for Victoria. Nice, unpretentious vibe. Definitely laid-back and hipster, not fine dining. Would be a great place to meet with friends for drinks and happy hour. The food is absolutely spectacular. One of the best selections of oysters I’ve had in a restaurant (including places like Araxi) and reasonably priced (I will definitely come back for their two dollar happy hour oyster shucks.) The absolute star was the Wu-Tang clams. My wife loved the lobster roll as well. Cocktails were well thought out options that pair well with their dishes, but I think I would stick with their reasonably priced wine and beer list. Almost everything on the menu is seafood. If you bring someone who doesn’t eat it or is allergic there is a salad and a cheeseburger as options for them but that’s it.
Shuck Taylor's has quickly become my favorite after work spot to hang out. The atmosphere is great and the service is wonderful. Not to mention the prosecco is always on point. BUT the food is probably the BEST seafood I've had the pleasure of trying in Victoria. Their lobster roll (either version) is my most frequented menu item with oysters a close second. But everything on their menu is a true masterpiece. Their clam dip is unique and packs a punch of flavor. mussels are cooked perfectly and the prawns are beyond fresh. Whether I've are swung by for a quick drink and some oysters or are showed up with a group to indulge in one of the seafood boils I have never been disappointed!
Food; incredible. Staff; incredibly good looking. Atmosphere; nautical! Cozy but not crowded. Cool but not pretentious. Have a drink, have a snack, have a lobster roll, have 30 oysters to yourself. Just go there, you wont regret it.
Delicious. Next time I'm trying the seafood boil! Sandwich roll was amazing!!
It’s always a pleasure going to Shucks, the food and atmosphere are top quality. They’ve done it right!
Love love this place! Stopped in for happy hour, had some oysties and a caviar bump!! Definitely left happy. Will be back!
Such a great spot. One of the best.
Best oysters in Victoria. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. If i could give 6 stars I would.
