Shamus T Bones

We wanted a celebratory dinner while on the road to the Redwoods. While staying at the Best Western next door they suggested Shamus T. Bones. We had a superb dinner! My whole family was completely satisfied from the beginning to the end. Try to save room for their superb desserts, too. We sat near the grill. That made me miss my bbg at home… but it was really entertaining. The sparked off the Tesla Coil for us; that’s worth the stop!

We wanted to like this place. The server was friendly and the food looked good. We even liked the décor. But the food wasn’t even «average». We had the ribs (dry), salad bar (unimaginative), and pulled pork (dry). Even the cheesy potatoes and vegetables were lacking seasoning. This place has potential but not with the present chef.

well this place is vary nice… the food is ok but the prices have absolutely skyrocketed vary sad it used to be an affordable place to go eat with a group of friends… it now has the feel of a large business vs the small family bbq out hwy 36…

It’s not great. We’ve gotten to the point of ordering the kids chicken strips and even the last time they were over done. It’s a shame because it’s a great looking place. I once asked for steak sauce with a filet and the waitress said the owner says «a good steak doesn’t need steak sauce.» Maybe they should visit the AA and see what a steak should taste like. Needless to say, one of our party went to Rays food place when it was in business and bought the table a bottle. That’s not a good sign.

It was a place I loved to visit, back before the move. Even a bit after they moved to Eureka, I found them to be good. The quality has declined. I noticed that there seem to be new people in the kitchen. They appear now be almost all latino, not that latino people cant cook great food, but I suspect the owners are paying them less than the previous staff and they are not as skilled.

Both our host Ryan and our server Ashley were sweet, prompt, thoughtful and efficient. The food came quickly after it was ordered and was very good for the price. I only give four stars because it was so HOT inside! All three of us were dying of heat exposure. Also, the ‘used to be cool’ bartender with the hipster glasses spent more time chatting it up with his bros then finding time to help out guests. As a veteran server/​bartender/​restaurant manager– turn the heat down, lose the gimic’s and Mr. Full of himself Thursday night bartender. Thank you for the awesome experience! If we lived in town we would be back.

It’s the day before Valentine’s Day — crazy busy inside. No reservation but nobody was waiting in the front lobby. Got told it was going to be 30 minutes — 40minutes later they tell us 10 – 15 minutes longer. Keep in mind the bar is full. Mother and I continue to wait… Table opens up in bar and we sit — dirty rag has been left on table. 10 – 15 more minutes and we finally see the bar waitress — she cleans off our table and comes back to take our dinner order — salad finally comes — it’s now been 80minutes when we were told 30. The hostess comes and tells us our table is finally ready — we both laugh and say no we are good. We will just stay in the bar. The bar tables need foot rests — everyone wears boots here — get some foot rests. The bar also doesn’t have a blender for mixed drinks — double sigh!
I’m giving it 1 star mainly because the hostess staff isn’t trained on how to quote people wait times. Management needs to train their staff!

Awesome service. My favorite place to hang out, have a drink, appetizers and sit by the fire.

Cool place right near the water. Lucky for us they were open for thanks giving dinner and we had two incredible meals!

Food is OK a bit overpriced and the mix drinks are watered down. Service is OK. This is a steak BBQ house and the folks setting next to me ordered veggie burgers! Third and last time…

Great service even for a Friday night! Wife had the brisket and pork ribs, I had the 12 0z ribeye. Both dishes were amazing! I can’t say enough about the ribeye.
They do have a Tesla Coil that is kind of loud. We liked that they warned us before since we had 2 small children with us. Overall we liked the coil.
Ashley was our server. Fantastic job to her and she always had a great smile while checking on us.
We come here a few times a year and we love it!

Came here recently. Had the 3 rib appetizer and they tasted dried out and old.
My friend had the shrimp scampi and within 4 hours she threw up her dinner. We won’t be back.
Service was ok. It’s way too hot in the restaurant.

Food here is completely over priced, They don’t even try to make it look decent. The servers are very nice and the place looks very nice and a good view if it is not raining.

I came here for a work dinner: my team, my boss, and my bosses boss. I was told to choose the location and normally I am hesitant on trying locations less than 4 stars. I checked out the reviews and thought Shamus was worth a try.
Atmosphere: interesting, not bad, just not sure where they are trying to go with it. Partial classic steak house style but then you have a sci-​fi twist – hard to explain.
Service: ok, not bad. I understand you can have great servers and not so great at any place, so we got the not so great: not interactive, no suggestions, didn’t seem to be happy to be there (no one likes working, but when you are in service, sometimes you have to fake it).
Beer: GREAT OPTIONS – not disappointed!
Food: I had a steak and so did the majority of my team. I am so sad to say, but it was horrible: both my team and I felt as if we were eating salt blocks. I feel bad leaving a very negative comments about the food, but it was the worst steak I have ever had. I ate half of it, hoping I would get use to the salt – way too salty! Another in my party said it was bearable in combination with the mashed potatoes, unfortunately I did not opt for them. I may or may not try again. If I do, it won’t be on my dime.

Nice dining experience. Good food, friendly staff.

We were looking for some place unique to Eureka and we found it!
Ribs were awesome. Brisket was great, spinach salad w/​strawberries was excellent. Grilled artichokes were blah, but, the service was great; it was very family friendly; and the servers were very nice. Wonderful BBQ sauce was available for purchase. We’ll be back again!

Good food and the Scallops were so delicious that I almost ordered another plate but didnt have time. The bar area was quite spectacular and the water shooting over the bar was cool. A Tesla machine was quite diferent and makes alot of noise but too cool to watch.
I would recomend the resturant. I was visiting on work but will go back when I get back up North again.

Came here about a month ago.
The waitress was really nice.
The chicken wings appetizer is really good! The sauce is delicious.
I had a salad and it was good, my sister had a soup and said it was flavorful.
She said her burger was okay, while my ribs were pretty good. Our favorite food was the amazing corn muffins. There were a lot of flies inside the building, just flying around.
A bit on the expensive side, but overall okay.

This place was hopping on Labor Day… so much so it took 20 minutes for our server to take our drink order and more than 45 for him to take a food order. But, when it came the food was pretty darn good!
Nice sized portions, but really pricey. (Because it was the first time, I like to guage a place with a mid-​priced staple. The burger is always my go-​to.) Their Cowboy Burger was excellent that I really liked the variety in their choice of sides! I got the Mac and Cheese… it was decent.
Their desserts looked decadent, but I didn’t have the room to sample.
Would try it again… and would venture into the BBQ staples everyone else raves about… Plus, you can’t go wrong with a place that fires up a Tesla Coil!

The first time I went here was with my in-​laws from out of town. I remember it being awesome. The food was great and the atmosphere was just the right amount of cooky and wtf.
The second time I went here was again with an out of town relative. We hyped it up because of our previous visit. But this time it just wasn’t as good as we remembered. My aunt was kind of creeped out by the dead animals everywhere.
The third time a friend of mine who’s in town for business occasionally (Chevron facility right behind shamus) had always wanted to try it so we went. Everything was over smoked, over priced, gave me heartburn and our service was bad. It was worse than last time!
I dont see myself going back.

La première erreur est de faire escale à Eurêka.
La deuxième est de venir dîner ici.
Tout a le goût de leur extraordinaire sauce bbq !
