text: My friend and I wanted to try a new place and did not want to travel far from flamingo and area We enlisted Yelp to help us find a place to dine at Shucks came to mind After reading all the reviews this seemed to be THE place the be so we decided to give it at shot nnWhen you walk in you see is the bar we looked for a hostess but there is a sign to seat yourself On the right hand side is the bar with some high top tables to sit at and on the left there are tables and booths restaurant style We decided to sit at a booth with a large table because we were planning on eating a lot of food We were greeted by the waiter and he gave us some time to look at the menu nnThere is a pretty good selection of seafood and other items such as sandwiches and pasta to choose from My friend and I went for the seafood We ordered a dozen raw oysters on the she will lb of black mussels lb of manila clams lb of snow crab legs garlic french fries and a crab and spinach dip seasonings for the seafood we choose lemon and garlic nnThe food did not take too long to come out except for our garlic fries First came the crab and spinach dip Consistency was different than what I am used to It was a little runny and had a strong sea food taste from the crab I am used to this dip being a little thicker and more creamy We had to add some hot sauce salt and pepper to the appetizer so it would not taste as bland The chips that came with it were almost a cross between a tortilla and a pita bread nNext came the oysters Those were delicious White meat not cloudy and did not smell fishy Then the rest of our food arrivednn Everything smelled so GOOD and mouth watering but when we started slurping and eating everything our noses deceived us The food smelled so tasty and aromatic but it did not taste the same way Weird right I guess we are so used to eating at Hot n Juicy We finished our meal and I totally did not even notice that our garlic fries never came out We flagged down the waiter and asked them if they forgot it He went to check and said the cooks forgot but it seemed like he forgot to ring it in nnThe fries came out about minutes later super oily and shiny with some sort of garlic white powder on top of them I did not even want to eat it I tried one and the moment I bit into it I felt like an oil bubble bursted into my mouthnnThis place is nice and clean but the service was a little poor They only had table sitting in that area with servers serving as well The price is good for what you get especially since it is seafood nnSo if you are looking for something close in the area with mediocore seafood This will be the spot
