What they’re saying about us

After arriving in Auckland, we were looking for seafood that was close to the hotel.
The menu was simple but offered great … More variety. We started with the oysters and calamari, the oysters were very fresh and had a fantastic brine. The calamari was seasoned well and had excellent crunch. After, we ordered the grilled tiger prawns. They were grilled and seasoned perfectly, slight sweetness with an almost lobster flavor.
Following this we ordered, the steak frites and whole flounder. The steak was good but small (compared to other steaks across NZ of the same cut) and under seasoned. Whole flounder was pan cooked in butter and had great flavor and texture.
Service was incredibly expedient and attentive. If we’re back in Auckland I’d eat there again based on starters alone, but would I get a different main. Overall great spot with a cool view of the harbor. -
Absolutely incredible experience at Shucker Brothers! We shared two dozen fresh, flavour-packed oysters sourced from Waiheke … More Island – hands down some of the best we've had. The beef carpaccio was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the margaritas were perfectly balanced and refreshing. On top of it all, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

Had dinner at The Shucker Brothers on Queen’s Wharf, NZ — really nice spot with a cool atmosphere. I had the octopus, and … More it was incredible! Amazing flavour with just the right amount of spice. The food and drinks overall were excellent. The only thing that took away from the experience was the host at the door — didn’t feel very welcoming and came off a bit pushy. Still, a great place for a delicious meal by the water.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. We were seated on the bench near to the kitchen so got to chat with the chefs and see them … More work.
The wait staff was not so great. They just passed us the menu and pointed us to the seat. Not attentive and didn't come back to take our order. -
With no frills simply the freshest fish and seafood! All dishes delicious, especially oysters and scallops were amazing. … More Flounder the fish of the day couldn’t have been better. Stella gave us an excellent service and perfect recommendations! Location is typical bistro style with additional outside sitting viewing the ferries. Definitely worth a try!

Wonderful service, and even better food. Once we orderd, food was on our table in minutes. Amazingly fast service and a high … More quality too. As I said, food was even better, great teaste and colorful texture. So amazing. It made me feel like I was in Europe. Only thing that was not perfect is when on menu is stated salad is in the meal it is not explained that it is a crisp salad, but that is really not a big deal. A+ experience.

My new favourite Auckland restaurant! Fantastic food, and really great service too. Would particularly recommend the trevally … More ceviche and the king crab linguine, and of course the oysters. Sit outside if the weather is good!

The food was very tasty, the atmosphere nice and the staff super friendly. It was our first restaurant after this long lockdown … More and - boy -we weren't disappointed!

A small intimate venue with fantastic food and ingenious cocktails to match Rex's attention to detail , together with … More his recommendations made the evening. A highly recommended establishment worthy of multiple visits.

Went on a chilly weekday night and had the most divine seafood experience. We had a seat at the kitchen counter and enjoyed … More watching food being prepared as well as banter with the kitchen staff! Delicious food, served beautifully. Highly recommended!

Me and my partner came in yesterday and ate at the bar. The service is honestly beyond outstanding. They went above and beyond … More in every sense of the word.
Fantastic plates and local oysters opened on the spot. Looking forward to our next visit.
Thank you for having us. -
Superb food. Good beer, sunny morning location outside, with the fresh sweet oysters, hard to go wrong. I'll be back. … More

Cute spot for a drink. The oysters were nice and fresh but not perfectly shucked, I was getting a bit of shell. The rest … More of the food was pretty good, particularly the mussels - the menu overall is more bar style food but a bit more elevated.

Went for dinner on the 29th of June with my best friends and Shucker Brothers did not disappoint!!! We ordered a selection … More of food and it all tasted amazing!!! My personal favorite was the linguine as portion was good and was delicious!!! Our host Laksh was awesome! Thank you Shucker Brothers!

Just got back home from an amazing Mother's Day dinner. There was a bit of a mix up with our reservation but was solved … More on the spot by the host/manager (Waiheke dude w/ cool red beanie).
We were told that because of the small mix up that they weren't expecting anymore reservations that night and that they were already in the process of closing the kitchen. Being a worker in hospo myself, I definitely understand the struggle of having unexpected guests come in as you're in the middle of closing the venue and have them order a sh*t tonne of food but nonetheless, from the moment we walked in we were treated with nothing but the best service and even though we ordered like a 100 things and maybe forced them to open up their kitchen again we were still served with just amazing food (to say the least). The food was amazing, the ambiance of the venue was spectacular, the staff were nothing but absolute f*cking legends for pulling through for us, and finally of course my mum left the restaurant with a full belly and just THE best time.
To the Host/Manager that served us, 3 things.. 1. Really hope you got your ferry home lol. 2. That fit you was rocking, the red beanie with the blue shirt... just str8 fire.🔥 3. The oysters. Thank you.
p.s King Crab Linguini 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 -
Really, really enjoyed myself here. The service was IMPECCABLE and staff were so friendly. I had the King crab linguine and … More calamari, both were divine. Also, their kumara bread is out of this world. I'd literally go daily just for that bread!
-
Absolutely blown away by this place and can’t wait to come back with my parents, my Dad will love it! Fantastic service from … More all of the staff, very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was totally divine. The smoked kahawai croquettes were sooo delicious, as were the soft shell crab sliders! The seafood linguine was totally moreish and the fish n chips were lovely and fresh, the chips had a yummy seasoning to them. Fabulous selection of drinks on offer too 🥂

Wow. I just popped in for some takeaway chips today. One staff member waiting tables & serving behind bar (it's … More only a small restaurant) & how good was he? Talk about on point, laid back, EXCELLENT service. Made me feel so welcome even though my order was small. As for the chips - bloody lovely & a decent portion too. Keep that wonderful vibe going guys & girls. Love it. I'll be back.

Everything we tried was superb. Absolutely going back soon!

Love the fresh oilysters on the half shell and beer. Plus my friend works there. Hey buddy. -
Sardines! Very fresh, grilled, served with bloody Mary dressing. The chef had removed the spine so you can eat everything … More but the tail fin! They are so good!. We added trevally ceviche, authentic, and croquettes. We'll be back!! -
Nice oyster! Also can see the sight of sea view with the ferry
And the burger was so good 🙂 -
