Had been craving a seafood boil for a while and really wanted to swing by this restaurant since it had been a long time that I hadn’t visited.
It used to be excellent so I had big expectations.
Sadly it was very disappointing.
This place has gone downhill.
It is dirty.
It is warm.
It is unorganized.
It is crowded and loud.
The floors were sticky.
There was all kinds of unorganized chaos.
Thru our visit we saw and heard kids being loud, crying and the staff said nothing to the parents despite of how uncomfortable it obviously was to everyone around., the worse one was a family that sat next to us and their kid had his iPad in full volume…. We patiently waited to see if anyone from the STAFF would say something but apparently that’s okay and acceptable.
Finally I asked the parent if this kid if he could lower the volume.
I ended up packing it up and taking it to the comfort of my home and adding some corn, potatoes and boiled eggs (which they don’t offer) and actually enjoying it.
It was honestly better and more savory than what I had at the restaurant.
What has happened to public dining etiquette?
It’s fully on the property management to enforce proper etiquette to accommodate their clients and make sure everyone has a good experience.
The food was good but for what we paid and the quality and experience., I do not recommend it.
Parking was full., there were trucks parked on the grass and their patio was occupied despite of the hot Texas weather.
It’s sad to see a place I once loved become so unpleasant.

I was craving a fried catfish and shrimp platter so bad. I went according to ratings before I pick the restaurant as someone from Louisiana I was so disappointed when I got In my car just to try it before I got home. I had put extra crispy for my fish picked it up and it broken half no crispiness at all just cooked enough to say it was done. And when I say there is no seasoning, I mean absolutely no seasoning on that fish. The only way to get flavor on it is to stick it in ketchup or tartar sauce same goes with the shrimp no seasoning at all the french fries were soggy and the grease appeared to be very dark what it was cooked in tartar sauce was mediocre tartar sauce is supposed to be sick and this is the consistency of a thin gravy, hush puppies again taste like they were cooked in old grease with the french fries grease came out when I took a bite out of it. You have to buy the hush puppy separately when normally a fish platter or fish and shrimp platter comes with fries and hush puppies then the coleslaw is usually extra

Every Tuesday shrimp cocktail is $5.00. Been coming to this establishment since 2008.

The gumbo was my favorite of our meal (also got fried shrimp and chicken tenders for kid). Hush puppies were also great and I don’t usually care for hush puppies.
If you go on a Friday night, be ready to wait, but food comes out quick once ordered.

10/10 recommend! They know how to boil crawfish! Nothing seems to be frozen, we sat at the bar and saw the kitchen preparing all of the boiled seafood- crabs, shrimp, crawfish and they are alive when cooked! I am from Louisiana and I don’t go to very many Cajun seafood places here in Dallas because there are a lot of imposters- this feels authentic, order at the counter, picnic tables everywhere outside, huge patio.. skip the line and sit at the bar and order directly from the staff!

I’m back at the oceanfront. A small piece of my beachfront upbringing right here in DFW. Fresh seafood with a beach town vibe.
We ordered snow crab boils, coconut shrimp , fried pickles, raw and fried oysters. The oysters were so fresh. Even the fried ones melted like butter when you bit into it. Not dry at all.
The customer service was excellent. The bus boys deserved every bit of the 20% tip I left. Even though it’s counter service, the trash stayed cleared and anything we needed was brought to us double quick. They had a line out the door the whole time so apparently they have a reputation and from what I can tell, it is well earned.
Excellent

I had a great experience here and highly recommend! I’ve been trying a new place for crawfish most every weekend and big shucks has knocked tejun out of my #1 spot so far. Everything I tried was delicious and flavorful. I sat at the bar and really enjoyed watching the kitchen staff do their magic. It was pretty amazing watching how fast they knocked out orders as a team, and something I’ve never witnessed before let alone that close. Crawfish was delicious, oysters were fresh and big, and the shrimp cocktail was amazing (reminded me of some I’ve had at restaurants in Mexico and socal) mango margarita was delicious and buzz worthy. Ample free parking and quick moving line, I’ll definitely be back.
Update big shucks has become my go to spot every weekend for the last month. I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve ordered here

Be careful there’s people stealing cars and breaking into cars stealing your stuff. It wasn’t even 10 minutes and the broke a window and searched the truck. They didn’t want to let you see video footage so filed a police report. And that black Honda circled around the parking lot a few times. Be careful because this was in broad daylight and it’s not the first time this happens. The restaurant won’t show you footage and has no security knowing this isn’t the first time it happens. Who knows if they knew the people and they work with them.

Pretty good! Crawfish are one of our favorite foods and the spice was good but I prefer the dry seasoning more than hot sauce. Gumbo was great, everything was cooked well! Oysters were fantastically fresh.
