Shuck Taylor's

While on a recent trip to Victoria, my boyfriend and I were looking for a joint with fresh oysters and a nice drink menu for Happy Hour. We stumbled across this little gem. Shuck Taylors is a delightful little restaurant where the star of the menu is undoubtedly the oysters, which are served with an array of exceptional house-made sauces that enhance their natural brininess to perfection.

The mussels and clams are another highlight, cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Each bite bursts with flavor, striking a harmonious balance that showcases the kitchen's culinary skill.

Don't miss the pan-fried oysters, either. They're wonderfully crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a delicious contrast in texture that's hard to resist.

Overall, Shuck Taylors is a haven for seafood lovers. With its fantastic oysters, flavorful mussels and clams, and delectable pan-fried oysters, this cozy restaurant promises a memorable dining experience. No wonder they had a line up by the time we were leaving!

I had been wanting to try their lobster roll after seeing photos/videos on instagram - it did not disappoint. They recently increased their lobster roll (was $45 and is now $56) due to increased food costs - the quality of lobster meat is excellent (claw and knuckle) - no fillers and is not pre- cooked! It's worth the money as you are getting high quality ingredients. Fries were crispy.

Ordered off of the HH menu - the deep fried oysters were delicious with the tartar sauce (you got 4 pieces for $16). The clam dip with chips ($12) were also on the HH - they refilled the miss Vickie's original chips - which was nice!

We also did a caviar bump ($7), which was a first for me and my friend. I enjoyed it, but I think it's better to have if you are ordering raw oysters!

Staff were chill but attentive-the overall vibe of the space and staff was cool. I can't wait to go back to try their brunch (although I'm a little sad that their Bennie's are served on an English toast-not a fan of English toast) and try their other items on their menu! I will be back for their lobster roll!

Absolutely awesome and delicious!!! Will be back and get the lobster roll with melted butter!!!

Fresh oysters, tasty seafood, delicious wine, friendly-neighborhood joint.
What's not to like!? (Wish it's in my neighborhood, lol)

We decided to try Shuck Taylor's during their soft opening, and I can't recommend it highly enough. While they aren't taking reservations at the moment, the service and food truly shine. The owner came and greeted us as well, and checked if we had everything we needed, which is truly appreciated!

The fresh oysters were impeccable. We tried Evening Cove Trays BC - Cortes Island and Evening Cove Beach BC - Mudge Island. The chimichurri and the other sauce sauce were the perfect condiment to the oysters. We also indulged in the lobster rolls and oyster po' boy, both of which were absolutely fantastic. We got the fresh herbs & mayo lobster rolls and they are rich/decadent and packed with tons of lobsters. I believe that they could have added some celery salt on top of the bun to give that extra kick/layer of flavour which would have been paired well with the lobster rolls. Nevertheless, the flavours were exquisite, and the portions were generous.

The ambiance is a perfect blend of cozy and inviting especially with the high top table and bar seats. I appreciated the decor as well. It's unique in Victoria If you're a seafood lover, Shuck Taylor's is a must-visit. Highly recommend!!!

Go here! Anything your order will be great. Conn lobster roll was fantastic and so were the other items (drinks, oysters, dip). We got their at start of the HH which was good since their lobster roll qty was limited (check their ig). Don't just stick to their hh menu as everything else is well priced and you'll be happy with.

Some of the best, freshest oysters I have ever tasted. Amazing lobster roll well worth your money and then some. Thirst-quenching drinks, friendly peeps, great vibes. Go early for happy hour and stay for a while for a great time.

Great oyster bar, good drinks. Friendly staff. Visiting from SoCal and glad we found this place!

Great little restaurant done in a seafood diner style. Staff are friendly and courteous. Oysters are fresh and plentiful and sourced from all over. I would have given 5 Stars but just wish it was a bigger place with more comfortable seating but those are just nit picky items.

Very fresh, as in right off the truck, oysters and mussels. As they opened, the selection was not of every type, but as we ate, a delivery was made, and we had more choices ten minutes after that. The mussels and clams were absolutely terrific. Nothing wrong with the oysters but the ones on offer are not are favorite. But it is good to have a selection. The lobster hand roll tasted very good, the best we ever had, including visits to Faneuil Square in Boston. The wait staff had a great sense of humor, so the overall visit was great.
