Amelia Island

I had the opportunity to go to Shuckers again.

First thing I heard Kirby say when we first Walked in was , “ Hi Guys”!
As she flashed her million dollar smile.
.

.

.

It made me think and ask myself why do I like shuckers so much ?

Here is what I found as I thought about it.
.

.

1. The food Is very good and you get a very good portion for what you pay.

Have you ever been to one of those seafood places that has a Batter on the food that’s a mile thick and good luck on finding the real seafood ?
.

.

This is not one of those places. The food is not over salted and it is not overcooked either. I can see why people who have overcooked seafood get turned off to seafood.
.

.

2. You feel welcome and The crew Really looks after you.
I have been to restaurants where the server does everything they can to avoid eye contact so they don’t have to take care of you.
.

.

That’s one of my pet peeves. No worries , you won‘t get that here.
Let me quote Eileen the owner “ If you get bad service I want to know it”.

She has a look in her eye that you know she means it.
.

.

3. You don’t feel rushed and the place has character. It’s a one of a kind place and if you ask me and that’s a good thing.

Eileen struck me as the kind of person who would Really cares about people.
.

.

She told me that about 60% of her customers come from word of mouth And “the locals really support us”.

I don’t think you could get a better endorsement Than that.
.

.
.

( By the way this is not a paid Shuckers commercial I’m just telling you about a great place I found period. )
.

.

I asked Eileen if she watched the food Channel on Tv and she answered with a quick yes. I asked her if she ever got any ideas from watching and she said yes .

She sometimes gets Ideas and then the shuckers twist gets put on it. Eileen said she had a master cook who was Great.
I would agree from what he puts out of the kitchen.
.

.

I was lucky enough to be there when Eileen the owner was there.
It was kind of sneaky of me but I kind of ambushed her into an interview.
.

.

The lunch rush was starting to come in yet she graciously took time with me to answer my questions. She took her time and I felt no rush.
Here are the nuts and bolts of what I found .
.

.

Her name is Eileen Teston and she had a life long dream to have a restaurant.
She made her dream come true and plans to be here a long time !
