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.

Classic seafood boils. Everything was super super fresh. 10/10. Just don’t order the Advertised Onion Soup

You can always count on Big Shucks for a great seafood dinner. My favorite is the coconut shrimp. You get six good sized shrimp with a side of two hush puppies and limp French fries. If you’ve read any other of my reviews I’m a fries snob. Give me crispy fries or forget about it. I don’t expect unbreakable fries, but give me crispy ones. Update on fries: last Friday I asked for crispier fries and my wish was granted. Thank you, Big Shucks! Our second dinner was fried crispy catfish with the same two sides. Very flavorful and flaky. The tartar sauce was perfect. I’ve had the shrimp cocktail in the past and it’s excellent tasting. Next time I’m diving into crab of any kind. Update: no crabs, but my catfish was crispy with no fishy taste. I love the crumbs they drudge the fillets in. Usually the big steak fries are too soft for my liking, but tonight’s was perfect! Thank you, French fries caretaker. Husband first had the tasty shrimp bisque and then the salmon platter and was very pleased. The toasted bread and hush puppies were enjoyed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doug and his team at Big Trucks are absolutely incredible! From start to finish, their service was top-notch—friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. The food is outstanding—delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a meal with friends, you can't go wrong with Big Trucks. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great service and amazing food!

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.

Wow the price at this place is pretty reasonable. My friend and I came here and everything was made to order. The portions are big and we probably walked away with 5 plates, beer and dessert for under $68. The service is fast and the vibe is relaxing.

I’ve been coming here for over 6+ years and the food has gotten even better. Their ceviche is always on point as well as their fried shrimp basket. Service is always pleasant and the vibes are a hit. Can’t go wrong with this location.

I love coming to this location for their patio area and how spacious it is. Their line may be long at times, but they are quick. The only thing I will say is that I wish they offered gloves for their seafood boil. (Sorry, I took the picture in the middle of us eating)

Never been here before, I thought it would be fun. It was a whole lot of fun with a huge selection. You could get crab legs and lots of other sea foods. I got the daily special, which was two shrimp, a fileted fish, French fries, coleslaw. I added a drink and walked out full. Lots to eat and tasted good.

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!

We came for lunch here, the place was clean and inviting.. service was nice and friendly.. It’s overall a decent place to get some seafood.

We love this place. We used to live closer and it was a weekly choice. Food is always excellent. Hot, fresh and delicious. Had a cup of gumbo for lunch on a cold afternoon. It was great, fresh shrimp overflowing from the cup. They have lunch specials for a lighter fare. Love the 70’s music choice today.

Love going here! The food has always been good. I had the catfish & shrimp meal. Ate inside, although they do have a covered patio with plenty of space to eat outside. I noticed they cleaned and disinfected the tables after every use and everyone wore mask.Good food, Good prices, Good bar, perfect place to unwind👍👍

Came here for some crawfish and beer. Crawfish tasted great! Beer was cold .

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.

Love the food! Big portions at a great price. I've been going here for years now and I live in Austin, TX. Unfortunately this weekend one of the fish tacos from my combo order had a staple in it. I notice that they stapled my "to go" bag .. Hopefully, this wasn't intentional.. That being said, I will definitely be going back.. Great Place.

In my opinion, this is the best fried seafood joint in North Dallas. Always a cool vibe and enjoyable background music at just the right volume. The drinks are awesome, specially my favorite the "Oil Slick". Fried shrimp are good. Wings are good. Hush puppies are addictive. Shrimp cocktail, ceviche or aguachile always hit the spot and are good choices if you don't want to go the fried food route. This place is my all time favorite.

Went here with some friends and enjoyed the food we ordered in a relaxed environment. The fried whole catfish was seasoned and crispy. Oysters were fresh, whole boiled shrimp was perfectly cooked. The wings were a little salty to my taste. Overall, the food were decent and a good relaxed place to hang out with friends.

Maybe it was an off day here but shrimp cocktail and the soup was just ok. But I've been here before and they have been good! Def coming next Wednesday to try their crawfish. Table next to us were chowing down and said it was the best.

Food was good. I just can’t get jiggy with the hot sauce as a boil add in. Besides that it was still good. My husband was not okay with the customer service. He had met us there after work and said the guy with the red shirt is not friendly at all. I kinda understood him on that. The guy wasn’t all that friendly. He was okay to me. He had his moments.

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.

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.
