Reviews for Big Shucks Oyster Bar in Dallas, TX
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 boysdeserved every bit of the 20% tip I left. Even though it's counter service, the trash stayed cleared and anything we needed wasbrought to us double quick. They had a line out the door the whole time so apparently they have a reputation and from what I cantell, it is well earned. Excellent ???? Read more
Saw a video online and decided to try this place out. Bf got the oysters (which he talked me into trying. They was great) and... ordered another dozen. I tried the shrimp cocktail and ordered more to take home (Tuesdays they're $5, AND $2 margueritas onMondays!!) Everyone was nice and helpful, you can't make you're own cocktail sauce. We will certainly be back. VP happened to bethere and mentioned a new McKinney location. We look forward to that! Read more
Great food , my girls love shrimp boil and the fat crispy french fries are so good.
The BUS BOY got a $15 tip for making sure we were fine, had drinks and our table stayed clean. He was an older Hispanic man and... he was very sweet The food was good and the wait wasn't too bad for this location on a Friday. Read more
When I lived in this area, I always ate here, has been 3 years since I've eaten there, but let me just say...It was STILL SO... GOOD, even the NEXT DAY! I will definitely make time to go back in 2022. Read more
Great oyster poboy, if smaller than expected. Bread was fantastic and the fried oysters were cooked perfectly. The fries needed... another minute in the fryer. They were not crisp, were a bit under cooked, and dense. My best friend, who brought me, said thatwas typical. Come on, guys... these are great opportunities here. There's nothing like good, crisp and fluffy steak frenchfries. I guess next time I will have to ask for well-done fries. Was not overly impressed with the crab balls, but I lived inMaryland for five years and I am quite finicky about crab balls. The hush puppies we're not quite Southern Standard, but theywere damned good. The atmosphere is very casual and we got there just in time on Sunday before a line formed. My friend tellsme they do a great job of cleaning tables to combat covid. Love that they have a huge outdoor seating area, but we sat insidebecause it was still a bit too chilly for some of our group. They would have gotten that fifth star from me if the fries hadbeen crisp and a bit more golden brown. Read more
Oysters on the half shell were very fresh, albeit a bit spendy currently but that could be demand and season. Shrimp cocktail is... to die for with customizable spice level and highly recommend a pound of their spicy garlic peel em & eat um shrimp. So delish.Have done takeout & dine in at this location. Fast service for both! Read more
Another hole in the wall place. Was told line is usually out the door. You order, pay then seat yourself. Was quoted Saturday... afternoon and not that busy. Recommend shrimp cocktail in the mug and their fried fish dishes. My salmon was good. Way too muchfood. Calamari was crisp outside and chewy inside perfect! Read more
