The raw oysters were big, though there was no red sauce. The gumbo soup was good, but I prefer this at other places. The Mojarra fish, which was fried tilapia, was huge, gorgeous, and had a great taste. Not expensive, but also not inexpensive. I’d go back for the Mojarra and the oysters. One orders at the front desk, seats themselves, and comes back for items when their name is called, so there is no waiter service, just someone who clears used plates.

I had a very disturbing experience- While eating my fried fish, I found what appeared to be a worm inside the flesh of the fish. This was not on the surface — it was embedded inside.
This is a serious quality control issue. I understand that parasites can naturally occur in fish, but it is the restaurant’s responsibility to properly inspect and prepare seafood before serving it to customers. Finding something like this completely ruined my meal and was extremely unsettling.
I expect better standards when dining out, especially at a seafood restaurant. I hope management addresses this immediately to prevent this from happening to other customers.

Big Shucks delivers what it promises: fresh, tasty seafood in a casual setting. The boiled shrimp and fried fish basket were the standouts. Gumbo was comforting. The restaurant has been here for over decades and the quality still remain the same. That is something.

We’ve gone here a few times for lunch from work. The food is good, the service is good, and really the atmosphere is great! I really enjoyed the coconut shrimp the most, but my coworkers raved about the boiled crawfish seasoned with the works, the ceviche, and the fish tacos. Just keep in mind, we got there early each time because it gets pretty busy.

Absolutely loved our first visit to Big Shucks in Richardson! As a long-time fan of Aw Shucks, I had high expectations, and they certainly did not disappoint! They serve the best snow crab legs in town—hands down! My personal favorite seasoning was the spicy garlic, which added the perfect kick.
The gumbo was fabulous and packed with flavor, making it a must-try. While the fried catfish was decent, it didn’t quite steal the spotlight for me.
What truly stood out was the friendly service; the employees were super welcoming and made our experience even better. We will definitely be back for more delicious seafood! Highly recommend checking this place out!

The food was decent. But has a clumsy and clustered layout. They should serve the food and drinks somewhere away from the registers. Staff was rude and unwelcoming.
