Shuckin’ Shack is a no-frills perfect place to bring the whole family to, with a nice simple atmosphere that caters to a more casual crowd. Sarah Lookingbill, proprietor of the Shuckin’ Shack in Leland, states that, “The Shuckin’ Shack here at The Villages appeals to every demographic. Families, Retirees and people of all ages love coming here.”  Shuckin’ Shack is a shellfish lovers paradise, with menu items including peel and eat shrimp, clams and some of the freshest oysters around.

Shrimp Po-boys, fish tacos, shrimp burger, chicken tender sandwich and their famous lobster roll are just some of the items available. Sarah has her own personal recommendations that she claims are house favorites, “We pride ourselves on making new twists to old favorites like shrimp and grits, low-country boils and crab dip. Personally, I think our wings are excellent too,” she states. The Leland Shuckin’ Shack also has plenty of great cocktails on the menu such as the Shark Attack Bloody Mary, Lake Park Lemonade, Moscow Mule and classic Mojito!  People who feel a little daring can also try several Shuckin’ Shack specialty shots like their Blistered Oyster Bomb, which is made with signature hot vodka and topped with a fresh raw oyster!

Sarah concludes by stating, “We’ve been here at The Villages for over 2 years, but we’ve attracted plenty of loyal local customers. We provide for them and they gladly give us their business in return.
