About Greenville’s Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar
Margaret is a Greenville native who grew up here, attended Greenville County schools, and has spent most of her life deeply rooted in this community. Don, originally from Alabama, and Margaret chose to move back “home” after getting married to raise their family and build something meaningful right where their hearts were planted.
From day one, the Marcums have focused on being more than just a restaurant. Over the past decade, they’ve poured into the community through partnerships with organizations like Dine Out for Mom, local Rotary Clubs, school fundraisers, youth sports teams, church events, and Riverside High School basketball tournaments. As a proud product of the public school system herself, Margaret is especially passionate about giving back to local schools whenever she can.
Their commitment to sustainability has even earned them recognition from the South Carolina
Department of Natural Resources for oyster shell recycling.
What keeps families coming back, though, is the feeling.
