Chef Cameron was EVERYTHING!!! Incredible hospitality, AMAZING food, and the coolest tricks he had our entire table laughing nonstop. The energy, the vibes, the experience… top-tier! I would honestly have Cameron as my chef all year round if I could. Thank you for welcoming me and my family with such a huge, unforgettable Benihana welcome. This is how you do it!!!

Hands down the best service I've experienced in a long time. Novals was amazing and made my dining experience a 10 out of 10. 😊

Had an amazing time! Chef Camron was amazing, funny and very talented. He kept the conversation going, especially with the kids.

If you come here, make sure you ask for Aaron r! He makes the best food and his customer service is truly top-tier. He was super nice, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can really tell he cares about his customers. Highly recommend him!”

We went to Benihana on Belt Line in Addison in the middle of the day and didn’t know if we would get a show — but we did! Our chef and entertainer, One, was so much fun and made the meal extra special. We also had a great waiter who took good care of us. The food was amazing! My favorites were the chicken and shrimp, but the steak was pretty yummy too. If you come here with a party, request One — you’ll have a blast!

Cam was our chef and he was AMAZING! He seasoned everything perfectly. Even though, my mom and I were the only ones at the table he didn't skimp on anything. I loved his laser light show and knife skills. I've never had a better time at a restaurant. The waiter was very attentive as well. I almost don't want to let the secret out but this is the best Benihans in Dallas. We are always seated quickly and they are so friendly here. Come here for great food and atmosphere. And ask for CAM!

Contrary to popular opinion, they have some of the best crawfish in Dallas #FromALouisianaNative

Great. Little spot. The prices were really reasonable. The catfish was a poor boy, but it was big and tasted good. Wish they had a lunch menu and the option for a cup of gumbo instead of a whole order. But overall, I'd be back.

Went on Sunday for a date. I really enjoyed the food. Some dishes are entry-level spicy, others are more mild— all very tasty. The service was speedy. The food was very affordable in comparison to most establishments nowadays. We had the Gumbo and the shrimp étouffée, with hush puppies as an appetizer, and a side of Cajun fries. I got full and still had leftovers by the end of my meal. We will be back!

Great food, great drinks, great service. Went on a Thursday when they were having karaoke and it was a lot of fun. Definitely going back!

Shuck n Jive is a vibe! It has a “Cheers” style atmosphere, your friendly neighborhood bar. You can tell there are lots of regulars, it’s the kind of place you keep coming back to. I love supporting a local dive bar! Max is always quick to serve up a strong drink and has a killer playlist! Chloe is very attentive and makes a delicious Bramble. Service is great and the drink prices are even better! The Cajun pasta is one of my favorites and the salmon is a tasty healthier option. Plus, who doesn’t love a fun karaoke night and a chance to win some money?! You’ll definitely catch me at Shucks on a Tuesday night enjoying the lively entertainment! I went on a limb and ordered a catfish, oyster, and shrimp po’ boy and it did not disappoint!!

Honey Valentino

Been here a couple times! This place was the first place I ever tried oysters! Delicious!! Hannah was my server a couple time amazing and kept insisting to try the pasta so I came here and tried the shrimp pasta got it blackened omg soooo good!!! Great price! We had Chloe she was such a doll!! Very attentive and friendly and recommended more things to try when we come back! Great customer service!! Completely deserved the 45% tip she was amazing! The place is clean and relaxed. Tons of regulars feels very friendly and family oriented. Will def be back!

It was the first time coming here with my husband and our buddies. Food was hot and fresh, beers and drinks were nice and cold, service was EXCELLENT! We had just come from Active Games. Definitely gonna be coming back here!

Ron Sims

Top of the line service. Erin was terrific, the best service I have had in a while. The catfish fillets are huge, I ordered two and could only eat one. This is a great place to have drinks or watch the game.

Oysters so nice I had to do it TWICE! Not exaggerating here, I haven't had oysters this good since I was in Boston. Not even a huge oyster guy, but good god were they exceptional. Also had an order of the popcorn shrimp, blackened chicken pasta and the creole shrimp. Please, do yourself a favor a check this place out. Sat on the patio, breeze was flowing and it was hard to paint a better picture.

Jason Turton

In a world of Starbucks and chain stores, places like this are all thats left of the real world. For someone from another country, places like the Shuck are somewhere you can meet locals and just hang out in a cool little joint, with a cold beer and a dozen fresh oysters on the half shell. Connor, behind the bar made me feel like i was welcome, which is always amazing. Cheers everyone!

First timer at Shuck N Jive and it was awesome! Brittany was very nice and attentive. I really enjoyed the Tuesday special of boneless Buffalo wings. Very tasty, great portion size, fries are perfectly crispy and the beans are really good. I’ve gone back and tried the Blackened Chicken Po Boy, that comes with a side salad, Shuck N Jive sauce and fries! I’ll definitely go back to try more delicious menu items! Thanks!

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for 2 years now and this place is always fantastic. The food is always top notch, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is great! Everyone is always so nice and the waitstaff is very attentive. Our order is always right, always hot, and always exceeds our expectations. We keep coming back and for good reason!

The Cajun fish was great. My fries were cold and she quickly replaced them with hot. I all around enjoyed my lunch.

Dianette Griffin

We visited this location yesterday. Atmosphere was great, wait time little, food fish nuggets good with fries, bake fish was really good cooked to perfect. Gumbo had a good flavor not enough meat and not dark enough. Crawfish needed more flavor, but potatoes was really good. Chase was great help, funny, great attitude from beginning to end.

First of all, I just want to say the overall ambience and service of Benihanas is great, but it just didn’t live up to what I was expecting in terms of taste and quality based on pricing. I definitely feel like you pay more for the experience than the food because the portion sizes are crazy small for what you’re paying. I ordered the seafood combo which was about $40 and I received five pieces of shrimp two scallops and two small pieces of squid that were chopped and drowned in vegetables, very disappointing.

This is an eclectic lil joint because of the bar scene. It was raining so we had to sit inside. Our food was piping hot and tasted good, Opt for the patio if the weather is favorable.

Cameron was amazing and is carrying this place! Good personality and good cook. Our server and manger was very mediocre. It was me and my husband’s first time so we had a lot of questions. She was friendly at first when answering but that seemed to ware off. We were ready to put our order in but she didn’t come back until another family showed up ab 10 min later. She went to them and took their order then ours. It was clear she was avoiding us. Not even sure if she told us her name. Our salad was half full. This place is not cheap so I expected amazing service from start to finish. The spicy hibachi shrimp was good. When I informed the manager about my issues he didn’t listen very well and mostly made the issue about the salad and walked off before I was finished speaking with him? You want another salad? I’ll get you another salad-as if HE was frustrated. Overall we decided we would not be back. It’s not worth the money. When paying over $100 for a meal it better be AMAZING from start to finish.

We waited over an hour pasted our reservation. The cook didn’t know how to cook the food right. He didn’t serve us out sauces before he started cooking and we had to ask for them. I had to tell him when to take my food off the grill or it all would have been over cooked. The rice had burnt spots and my shrimp. I added extra garlic butter and mustard sauce to everything and still wasn’t right because the food was over cooked. I got a refund for my dish only and for the beer and hot sake but that wasn’t enough overall it was horrible. The soup broth didn’t have any flavor and my hot sake had red things floating in it. We always got it the Dallas location which is great but this location sucks! If I never had Benihanas before this experience would have made me over eat there again. But this has been my favorite restaurant for the last 20 years. I just wont be going back to this location ever! You can see how dry and the burnt pieces in the rice from this photo. Just terrible.

We visited Benihana in Addison with a 9:00 PM reservation and arrived at 8:47 PM. We were seated around 9:10 PM, which was completely fine — no issue there. About 10 minutes later, a server came to take our drink orders. Roughly 30 minutes after that, we received our soup and salad. Unfortunately, when the server placed the bowls on the table, her hand was inside the rim of the bowl touching the food area, which was already concerning. After that… nothing. We had all reviewed the menu and were ready to order, but no one came back to our table. An entire hour passed without our server returning to check on us or take our entrée order. The only interaction we had was drinks, soup, and salad. No communication. No updates. No explanation. By the time I asked to speak to a manager, it was 10:30 PM — 30 minutes before closing. The restaurant, which had been packed when we arrived, was nearly empty. Tables around us had cleared out, staff were cleaning, and yet somehow no one noticed that our table had been sitting there for over an hour without placing a food order. When I spoke with the manager, she said she “wasn’t aware” that we had been waiting that long. That was extremely disappointing. It should not take a guest tracking someone down for management to realize a table has been neglected for over an hour. A chef named Arron was sent to our table to cook for us and honestly, he tried to save the experience. He was professional, kind, and repeatedly apologized — which, respectfully, should have been the manager’s responsibility. He did his best to lighten the mood, but at that point we were already frustrated and over it. We were told they were short staffed, but that still does not excuse a complete lack of communication or basic table checks. A simple acknowledgment would have gone a long way. In the end, we received a small discount, but we still paid for a meal that started off with over an hour of being ignored. The manager never came back to personally follow up with us at the table. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Poor communication, lack of attentiveness, and management oversight made what should have been an enjoyable night out turn into frustration. I would not recommend this location based on our experience.

I went on a Sunday, I ordered the Southern Fried Catfish it came with fries, red beans and rice and a hush puppy. The food all of it was bland and just nasty. The queso and chips had a funny after taste. It was a no for me. I came after leaving Activate across the street and thought I was getting some real seafood but no.

Jose Crespo Martello

Be careful, I went to that place to eat and have a beer, but when I checked the receipt, it was the third time they tried to charge me for things I never ordered. Also, the last time I paid was by card. I gave my card to the waiter. Hours later, they tried to charge me twice for transactions from a supposed company. Be careful in that bar.

Ashton Greene

Crawfish was $19 per pound! Ridiculous. We ordered a beer and had a bug in it. We immediately left.

Food was terrible. I understand the other 1 star reviewers. I tried to drown the flavor out with hot sauce but the food is borderline inedible. Smells terrible, tastes terrible, looks terrible. Breading was falling off the fish, shrimp tasted like it was old and unseasoned, red beans and rice was completely flavorless. Also prices didn’t matchup when you order to what’s on their website.
