CP Shuckers Cafe & Raw Bar

Hands down one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve been to in years. The food was phenomenal and service was top tier. Brandon was so nice enough to come introduce himself as well as the chef, and we’re just regular people! We felt very appreciated and accepted. We will be going back! 10/10 recommended!!

Went for dinner on a Monday. It was fine. Slow night. Everything was good, servers were great. Some of the food was just typical bar type food and not something I’d be craving cause it wasn’t better or worse or special compared to any other place, so that’s why I did 4 instead of 5 stars. Wings were meh. I wish I had asked for all flats. The sauce wasn’t anything special and they weren’t like crazy hot and freshly fried. Fish and chips god scarfed down. She crab soup was nice. Hush puppies were solid, but normal. Steamed shrimp were my fav out of everything, BUT could’ve used more old bay and I didn’t really get the point of the green onions in there. I like green onions, but am more of a purist and didn’t see the reasoning behind them getting added in.

Been coming here for years. They have a new menu. Great food. She crab soup could be updated and made wayyy better. All the other food was great! I gave 4 stars because they were dead and the waitress sat inside for about 15 minutes before even coming up to us and they have no sense of urgency. Also if you sit out front you can smell the grease trap/something rotten from the kitchen. Wonderful owners, fun place to hang with friends, get some drinks, and watch games. Their wings and shrimp are some of my favorites! Also the house made chips and cheese and buffalo chicken sandwich. Hubby loved his burger.

While CP Shuckers generally hits all the right notes, there are occasional moments that keep it from a perfect five-star rating.

Food is always delicious! We’re always impressed by the servers’ memorization skills when taking our orders. Plus, they play great music if alternative is your jam.
