We had the pan broiled shrimp, fried oysters and stuffed shrimp. The fried oysters were probably the best I have ever had. There were about 18 on my HALF order! Very generous. We were lucky that the spring has been cool and so the oysteres are still available in May. The stuffed shrimp stuffing was under cooked and not to... More

have been here several times. Been impressed with the simple -straight forward menu. What they lack in "fancy" they make up in darn good Cajun cooking. The oyster plater is great-lets you try different ways to eat one of my favorite LA dishes. My better half says the beer is ALWYS cold and good to the last drop. Beware--this is... More

Can you say chinslappers? The duck gumbo is awesome too. The service was awesome and they just kept bringing the oysters. Great selection of condiments to mix your own sauce, but the charbroiled ones needed no embellishment. The sampler of them is my strong recommendation. Don't miss this one travelers.

We were touring southern LA by motorcykcle and we were wanting some local seafood. The lady at the desk of Executive Inn directed us to here when we told her we wanted local food. It was excellent food. The place was a bit noisey. Prices were probably about right. The staff was very good and friendly.

We were passing through Abbeville last weekend and decided to stop for oysters on the half-shell. I worked in Abbeville several years ago and knew of a seafood restaurant on the Vermilion River. We couldn't find it but saw a place called "Shucks" and decided to stop there. We are so glad we did. They had the best raw oysters... More

This was a spectacular experience! We had several different oyster selections and each was as good as I have had anywhere. Our waitress was friendly, perky, beautiful, knowledgeable and gave us great advise about the options on the menu. I'm eighty years old and this one my most enjoyable eating experiences. I highly recommend it!

The lady at the Louisiana State Travel Center recommended this place and it was great. My waitress was Rene who is also the manager. When I told her this was my first visit she did everything she could to see that my experience was the best which it was. I ordered the crawfish etouffee (French for "smothered") and it was... More

Maybe we went to Shucks on the wrong night, but service was terrible. The waitresses were very busy and ours was trying her best to keep up. It took forever to have our order taken and forever to get our food which arrived luke warm. The only part of our meal that we all liked was the crawfish etouffee which... More
