Serving up oysters, po-boys, fish and chips, and other seafood favorites, Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar is a growing franchise that now encompasses about 18 restaurants in states like Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. With four locations already open in South Carolina, Shuckin’ Shack is currently at work on its fifth, opening at 2151 Boyce Street in Columbia’s BullStreet District.
The new location is headed into the construction phase, a representative told What Now on Wednesday.
“Founders Matt Piccinin and Sean Cook didn’t set out to build a franchise,” says Shuckin’ Shack’s franchising website. “They set out to build the kind of place they actually wanted to hang out in—a real neighborhood oyster bar on the Carolina coast where the seafood was fresh, the drinks were cold, and nobody took themselves too seriously. What they built was Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar. A bar-first, restaurant-second kind of place. No tightened neck ties, no cufflinks, no bored hostess. Just enthusiastic hellos, warm goodbyes, and a genuine good time in between.”
At Columbia’s upcoming Shuckin’ Shack, you’ll be able to enjoy fan favorites like the Seafood Plateau (oysters, clams, gulf shrimp cocktail, ahi tuna tartare, crab salad), oyster varieties like Jalapeño Cheddar and Garlic Parmesan, and lots more.
