J D Shuckers

My wife and I took her parents here for dinner. It was super busy, but we got right in.

Caludia was our server-she was very fun, super nice and made sure that we were very well taken care of.

Shrimp Tacos and Brocolli were a little too salty, but the Fish and Chips were probably the BEST I have ever had!

Thank you, Caludia for making our night!

PS- almost forgot. We took a piece of Peanut Butter Pie home with us...we liked how theyt put the chocolate sauce and the whipped cream in seperate containers- That was a nice touch.

Met friends at JD's yesterday and had a great time. Food and drinks were good. Shared oysters, shrimp, claims and scallops. Service was very good considering how busy they were. Live music was an added surprise!

We decided to try JD Shuckers because we’ve heard great things about the owner, who has a reputation for being a stand-up person in the community who gives back to others; and that positive impression is what brought us through the door.

The good news is that the food was very good. The stuffed flounder was excellent, and the peanut butter pie was outstanding. Based on the food alone, we would absolutely return.

Unfortunately, the service at the upstairs bar was among the worst we’ve experienced, ever, in my life. Our server seemed irritated from the beginning. When our dessert arrived, the spoons were sitting directly in the chocolate sauce. We politely asked for new spoons, and the replacement spoons were dropped down in front of us with noticeable attitude. When I asked if she could remove the dirty spoons, she responded, “Do you need me to?” which immediately created an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Trying to understand what was going on, I later asked, “Have we done something to offend you?” I genuinely wanted to know if we had somehow created a misunderstanding. Her response was, “Oh, you want to argue?” I explained that I simply wanted to understand if there was an issue. She then told us she was upset because she felt we interrupted her while she was explaining the menu when we placed our order.

Throughout the meal, service remained poor. We weren’t provided silverware and had to ask multiple times. We frequently needed something but couldn’t get our server’s attention, often having to ask other staff members for assistance. It felt like she spent more time running up and down the stairs than checking on her guests.

I share this because I believe the owner would want to know. The food was very good, the restaurant has a lot going for it, and our decision to visit was based on the positive reputation of the people behind the business. Unfortunately, one server’s attitude overshadowed what otherwise could have been a great dining experience.

I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit intended—not to criticize the restaurant as a whole, but because I believe JD Shuckers is capable of delivering an experience that matches the quality of its food and the reputation of its ownership.
