The Open View

For three star American, try a. W. Shucks in Charleston. Check out this popular and affordable place in the Downtown area. It's known for its deli. This place features great views. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a casual atmosphere. This restaurant features a full bar and lunch. This place is good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food fine.

Yelp.com Review - by Brent R.

3.0 of 5 stars. Had a nice dinner here. The outdoor dining is the best part. The food is average touristy frozen seafood. The service, however was horrid. The wait staff seemed more interested in football than…

Yelp.com Review - by Sam P.

3.0 of 5 stars. We really liked the outdoor seating, since it was outside but out of the sun (already burnt from the beach). The buffalo shrimp appetizer was pretty good and the jambalaya wasn't bad. The food wasn't…

Yelp.com Review - by Trey E.

4.0 of 5 stars. Outstanding bacon-wrapped shrimp. And it's such a simple dish; take quality shrimp, dust them in brown sugar and wrap with bacon then pan fry. They were simply fantastic. The service was nothing to…

Avoid this place at all cost!

This is probably the worst restaurant in Charleston SC. I grew up in this city and this place is a black mark on Charleston's fine image. Food is totally over hyped, and this place has been going down hill for...

AW Shucks was Shucks I should have gone to another resturant.

To start, the service was slow. My margarita's only resemblance to a real margarita was the salt on the rim. Sent it back and got a Bloody Mary. My wife's "She Crab Soup" had a 6 inch by 1/8 inch piece of...

2.0 of 5 stars. I was hoping for a better food experience since this is the off season in Charleston but the food was less than expected. This is another tourist restruant that apparently does not depend on repeat…

A.W. Shucks--Charleston's Most Over-Rated Seafood

Poor seafood quality, high prices, small servings. Much better seafood restaurants in the area. B. Flowers--Atlanta, Ga.

Should Try It Out!

I enjoyed my dinner at AW Shucks, and I do not even eat sea food! No, the restaraunt is not trying to pass itself off as some time of "fine dinning" experience-it is just a local sea food joint that has a...

overhyped

This restaurant must have some deal with the locals in order to rope in customers. Our group came here for dinner after getting "word of mouth" from shopowners. The food was terrible- overcooked rice,...

Gross

After all the hype we ate here, and the food was awful. Will reccommend the fried green tomatoes, the water, and that's all.

Aw, shucks.

After a great meal the night before, we were trying to find a nice restaurant to have some seafood. I will resist the temptation of calling it AW Sucks. It did not prove to be the restaurant it had been built...

My Review

This restaurant was awesome. If you love seafood, the selection is tantalizing. It is definitely on my list of places to eat at when in Charleston.

excellent!

Our first night in Charleston, this is where we ate, and it was DELICIOUS! The Crab dip and She-Crab soup were excellent starters and the broiled entree was fantastic. Expensive, but worth every penny.

Even Forest Would Agree

This is got to be the best seafood restaurant in Charleston hands down. I love to get the stuffed shrimp and the yummy dip. Great for dates or family dining and it conviently located on the market.

This hearty oyster bar is a sprawling, salty tribute to the pleasures of shellfish and the fishermen who gather them. A short walk from the Public Market, set in a solid, restored warehouse with rough timbers,...

This restaurant obviously does a great deal of business. Service is just so-so, as if the servers are in a hurry to move on. The food is fine, but it is not great. If you want something higher
