Shuck N Jive - Richardson

Great food, friendly service. Fish and chips, roasted mushrooms and Cajun Pasta were all delicious. Tested the crabs/shrimp-hush puppies, but we didn't like them, they were more like a cheese ball with crabs and shrimps.

I used to come here for lunch at least once a week when I worked in Richardson. The food was good but the red beans and rice were amazing. I moved away a couple of years ago but was back for a weekend and stopped by for dinner on Sunday. The old place was just like I remember except it was empty except for maybe 5 customers and two sat outside. The music was up too loud and the help and a customer threw feet away had to shout at each other to be heard. The food was okay but we received a baked quartered potato instead of buttered red potatoes ordered and the red beans tasted like they were poured out of a can over microwave rice. I guess you can't go home again, especially on the weekends.

We looked at the menu online before going and it showed they offered crab legs. When we got there they weren?t on the menu. Instead I tried the coconut shrimp which was pretty terrible. The rice that comes with it is too sweet and was undercooked and crunchy. The vegetables are literally the veggies served at nursing homes, and had no flavor. My kids had the popcorn shrimp which were alright but we ordered a side of red potatoes and half of them were also undercooked, they couldn?t even be cut they were so hard. Just not good food, not a good experience, and we won?t be back.

I must say. The first time I had this place we DoorDash a pick up and we had po boys. They were amazing. This past weekend a buddy and I went there to eat in person because eating at a restaurant should be better right? Unfortunately it was an utter disappointment. The server was great until I stated that the food was extremely bland. Their response was ?I know that?s why we put seasonings in the bucket on the table?. This actually blew my mind because food should come out of the kitchen already flavored. The customer shouldn?t have to put salt in their food so it actually has flavor. She was helping so many people and I give her service a 5* because she?s not in the kitchen cooking. The food I give a 1*. I will not be back. Between the both of us we spent around 120$ we ordered multiple foods so we can try a little bit of each. I had high hopes based off of our DoorDash pickup. Sad day it was.

First time here and I have to say I am surprised how good the food is here. Everything from Oysters to chicken fried stakes. The food is just good. Oh and uh, good service as well, girl with the purple hair, she?s awesome, one woman show. Ask for her. 4 stars because it?s smoking in the patio. ?
