The restaurant gained worldwide attention in 2001, when it was widely reported to have been one of the last places that the September 11th hijackers were seen prior to the attack, based on the testimony of its staff.

The Restaurant and the Media storm

Night manager Tony Amos and waitress Patricia Idrissi were the focus of the media's eye following the attacks.

12 hours after the attacks, FBI agents showed up at the bar, and passed around two photographs of middle eastern males they said had been aboard the aircraft. Amos and Idrissi both claimed to recognise Atta as having been a boisterous customer with a thick accent, who had been with two companions the previous Saturday (September 7th). The companions were later thought to have been Marwan al-Shehhi and Abdulaziz al-Omari, the two hijackers that Atta seemed most friendly towards.

Amos' stories would later conflict, there were reports that he remembered Atta drinking Stolichnaya vodka, heavily drunk and cursing "Fuck God!" in Arabic, or that he had been mild-mannered, quietly playing arcade games on the other side of the restaurant while the other two spoke.

The Miami Herald was the first media source to note the story of the hijackers having eaten at Shuckum's, after the FBI visited the restaurant only hours after the attacks. It reported that Amos had only been able to identify Atta, and neither of his companions.

The Los Angeles Times said that Amos reported Atta had drinken only Cranberry juice while playing arcade games, and only the other two companions had been drinking.

The Daily Telegraph reported that it was September 7th, and that Amos reported both a waitress and a bartender identifying Atta and Marwan from passport photographs provided by the FBI, and said they were "heavy drinkers", and that Atta had disputed the $48 bill before retorting Of course I can pay the bill, I'm an airline pilot.

The Palm Beach Post didn't provide a date, but said that the men entered the restaurant already drunk, and that Idrissi had initially directed the men to a Chinese restaurant, but they returned to Shuckum's and Amos reported having argued with Atta over the bill, before Atta told Idrissi I'm a pilot for American Airlines and I can pay my bill, before handing him a $100 bill, and leaving a $3 tip.

The Australian ABC ran a video interview of Amos by Liz Jackson, in which Amos was quoted as saying that Atta had not been drinking at all, and wasn't even sitting with Marwan and the other man, although he would occasionally walk over to their table to whisper something in their ear. He was reportedly at the other end of the restaurant, playing arcade games for 4 hours.
