AW, SHUCKS! OYSTER BAR & BISTRO

Aw Shucks Seafood Bar & Bistro in Aurora is a fantastic spot for seafood lovers. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making sure everything about our visit was perfect. The menu has a great variety of fresh seafood options, and everything we tried was delicious. We tried both the fresh oysters and baked oysters. All the pasta's we had were very creamy and well done. It’s clear that Aw Shucks takes pride in both their food and their service. I definitely recommend to any seafood lovers in the area.

Nice restaurant located at the main intersection in Aurora with seatings indoors and patio. Restaurant offers wide assortment of food but specializes on seafood. Many interesting seafood entrees and very good pastas as well. Very friendly service and affordable prices.

I was there for a Birthday Party and one with my wife of approx 25+ people. The servers were very friendly and accommodating, but I guess with a large group, sometimes orders fall through the cracks and requests can be forgotten, even when reminded.But they are so damned nice it's easy to let it go...we did get the extras eventually. I ordered the Mussels and figuring they were a seafood establishment, would be on top of the game. Worst mussels I've ever had, now this could be an anomaly in all fairness and I should go back to see if they get it right, but I've never had cold and raw mussels in a tepid-cool/warm sauce. Like someone steamed them earlier in the day anticipating a crowd for a Sat night, put them in the fridge and when serving, took them out, put a hot fresh off the stove-top sauce on them hoping that would finish off the cooking of the mussels.Ramsey would have had a fit. I had them returned and they brought me my dish back eventually. The sauce was hotter, but still only warm, the mussels were warmer, a little more cooked but still raw. Overall not their best or proudest day for mussels. Aw Shucks.... Unfortunately too many Restaurants over-cook mussels. Under-cooked, you can still eat them as long as the sauce is bearable... Later I went to the Bar to order Drinks, and unfortunately the server again was not on her game as she lost track of the queue and didn't think that was her job to keep track.... Man has the profession taken a hit....This place has a lot of potential, as it turns into a music/DJ dance venue.. just needs to work out a few kinks....So, the jury is still out for me but it's worth a first time visit...you decide after that....

I had an amazing night at Aw, Shucks! in Aurora. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with great music that added to the vibe without overpowering the space. The margaritas were spot-on, and the brochettes were delicious – perfect combo! The crowd was friendly, making the experience even better. It’s a fantastic spot to unwind with good drinks, food, and company. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!

Had dinner there with friends and it was a wonderful experience! Our Server (Chloe) was fun and helpful. She made great recommendations and was quick to attend to us through the whole evening. The Food was delicious and plentiful. If you're looking for some yummy food, excellent presentation and stellar service, they don't disappoint. Please note they have fantastic selections in addition to Oysters. We obviously went for Oysters and were treated to a nice sampling including all the fixings. But our guests ordered non-fish entries and their presentation was only surpassed by the actual food! Enjoy!

I had my wedding here back in May, and it was truly a perfect day. Chloe was AMAZING and helped me with coordinating the big day. She was super professional and prompt to answering my calls and texts. Jimmy and his crew made the most delicious food that everyone is still talking about. A big thank you to all the staff that helped make literally the most perfect day. Highly recommend this place if you want an amazing meal or drink or if you are planning any sort of event. The atmosphere is classy but relaxed. I’m so happy with everything! Can’t say enough great things about this place.

The food was delicious! The oysters were fresh, all available varieties were from PEI. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and great service. It's a big space with plenty of seating. They also have space for private events, offer a kids menu and have a patio. Would definitely recommend and return.
