Stopped in for the first time earlier this week for a lunch date and had a great experience. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center, plus covered outdoor seating with picnic-style tables. You order at the register and then grab a seat. We each ordered the seafood boil, which comes with two clusters of crab legs, shrimp, corn, and potatoes. I chose the lemon pepper seasoning, while my husband went with the "all seasonings" option, which has a spicier kick. Both were flavorful without being overly salty. The service was excellent--staff was friendly and very helpful. They also provide gloves if you want to dig in without worrying about the mess. I noticed they offer lunch specials, and a lot of people were ordering the fried shrimp, which seems to be a popular choice. Complimentary hush puppies are also served. Overall, great flavor and fast service. We're definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Every once in a while...you need/crave/want an old favorite. Today was that day and while we were in town stopped by....the Ceviche was as good as I remembered. Delicious! Fried oysters and Shrimp cooked perfectly. We absolutely loved every bite. Service was impeccable! read more

I was not aware they give you a complimentary small order of hushpuppies. I ordered large so they charged for the small order which was fine. Never knew they offered complimentary hushpuppies. So nice. Hadn't been here for awhile and the food was fresh and hot! Staff friendly, restaurant clean. read more

I had the coconut shrimp! So good. Shrimp Cocktail is full of Shrimp! It is a great protein choice and not that many calories. Service is great. And the best Key Lime Pie! read more

Lots of room for improvement! This was my second time here and probably my last. Cashiers taking orders are unfriendly and why is there a tip for taking an order.I ordered the friend shrimp and kids chicken tenders. The fried shrimp basket comes with fries, coleslaw, and six shrimp. The fries have no salt, but they are very good. The shrimp are over fried and the batter needs more flavor, but basically they were overcooked, hard and if it wasn't for the tartar sauce and drowning them in fresh squeezed lemon, they had no taste. The coleslaw has room for improvement. It says if it was made like a week ago. The chicken tenders have same breading as shrimp and again over fried and dry. When you overcook something whatever is inside and it becomes hard to chew. I do wish they offered fried calamari rings only I asked, and the gentleman said no they just take a portion rings and the baby octopus and fry it. Now, if I was a business and somebody wanted fried calamari, but they don't eat octopus I would accommodate for that. Granted, nobody wants overcooked over fried calamari . My last note would be the drink/condiment section needs a revamp and a cleaning. I feel they need better prices and maybe some specials. read more

This was the first time coming here and the restaurant from the outside seemed very inviting. Once inside you just stood in line and waiting to order your food, then we were told that you get complimentary hush puppies and you can just pick anywhere to sit. There was a make your own sauce bar but was not told how or what to do with that from the cashier and they did not tell you how they find you to get the food to you they just took down your name for the order. Nobody came to check on us after the food was delivered to make sure that everything was cooked properly. The food was good overall but would not go out of my way to come here. read more

Seafood can be expensive in a restaurant that is not fast food. Here they offer a catfish lunch special on Mondays for $7.99. Well prepared and hot. I will be back. There are other choices for the rest of the week. Go for it. read more

To be fair this review is based on food that was delivered to my home- could be a different experience in person. I took one bite of the crab bites and didn't like the taste of them. I ordered the plate of catfish with the 4 fried shrimp as an entree. It was okay. I really liked the fries (they were pretty amazing) but I did end up pulling off half of the breading from the shrimp. For dessert we ordered the key lime pie and it was so good. Overall not the best experience but I understand that not all food travels well. I would be willing to try this place again in person. read more

Always love this place. It's been a minute so I need to go back! First timers even love the oysters!

#HayiaSophiaFaves #HonestReviews #SeafoodLover I genuinely wanted to like this place. I just moved less than 5 minutes away and seafood is my comfort zone, so Aww Shucks seemed like it had potential to become a go-to. The people were kind, the vibe was fun, and I appreciate any spot that brings a coastal energy to North Texas. But let's talk about the food. I ordered the shrimp and sausage gumbo, fried oysters with fries, and a mango frozen margarita. The gumbo was the biggest disappointment--and I say this as someone who makes roux from scratch and respects what it takes to do it right. The first thing I noticed was the stack of unseasoned, steamed shrimp just sitting on top of the bowl like a garnish. Not mixed in. Not simmered. Just dropped in like an afterthought. I stirred them in quickly hoping the heat would help, but that move alone told me the dish was rushed. The sausage? Chopped so finely and used so sparingly that it contributed nothing to the dish--not flavor, not texture, not substance. But the real issue was the roux. It had that unmistakable raw flour taste, like the flour had barely been browned. You could look at the color and know it wasn't parched long enough. The result was something closer to a savory flour porridge than a gumbo. No layers of flavor. No slow-cooked complexity. Just starch and salt. I had to use an uncomfortable amount of Tabasco and Worcestershire just to get through a few bites--and I don't normally doctor my food like that. The fried oyster basket and margarita? "Okay-ish." The oysters were decent but not crave-worthy. The fries were forgettable. The mango margarita leaned more slushy-sweet than balanced, but it got the job done. Overall impression? The people and place are amazing. The food that doesn't require science or technique is probably good. But the craft--and the science--of cooking was not present in the gumbo, and that matters. Gumbo isn't just a dish; it's a process, a tradition, and a test of skill. I'm open to coming back for something simpler, but if you're going to serve gumbo, please let it be done with the love and care it deserves. And if you ever want help with a recipe? I'll gladly share mine. read more

This is my 3rd time here. I don't like to leave a negative review until at least after 2 visits. FOOD: You can't go wrong with any of the fried choices. All decent; however, when you try the "basics" of a seafood restaurant--you should nail it every time. Had clam chowder last visit, it was ok. Had the gumbo tonight and oh no. This was like brown gravy with Cajun spice, the world's smallest cuts of sausage, no okra & weak cold salad shrimp piled on top as a pseudo ad for "real gumbo". Nope, pass. ATMOSPHERE: family friendly, some communal seating & good outdoor patio. SERVICE: You order at the register and they either call your name or if slow enough, will bring to you. We had a fry basket of catfish & gumbo. They called the order for pick up of the gumbo and then forgot about the fry basket. 20 minutes later, my daughter went and asked, they had already round-filed the order & gave her someone else's order. TIPS: Go in an off-peak time. DO NOT order the gumbo. read more

Some of my favorite fish tacos around! The shrimp cocktail is also a fan favorite between my mom and I and pro tip if you like a blue goose margarita they sell them here as well! The service is always so quick and the servers are so kind we got complimentary hush puppies with our meal which we thought was pretty cool. There is also a nice outdoor porch for eating seafood boils outside! read more

If I were to go back again, I wouldn't get the crawfish. While they were tasty, they were incredibly small and hence difficult to eat with little meat to enjoy. However, the peel and eat shrimp and shrimp cocktail were both very good - and the fried catfish looked really good (at other tables!)... read more

Yea, we got back. One of several fish menu places in area. Not too far from house for stop by for lunch.

We ordered a boil and chargrilled oysters and a tilapia plate. The boil (crawfish flavor) was the perfect spice level for us. The manager was phenomenal abs the young lady who brought our food to our table. read more

Stopped by to get some lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the special today. On Thursday the special is the 7 piece fried shrimp basket, with fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. It's really fresh not pre-made and only 7.99. They have specials every day, so I'll probably be back on a different day to try those out because this one was really delicious. read more

Aw Shucks Oyster Bar - Thursday lunch special - American Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I'm giving this Aw Shucks a 3 stars only because the food is so good. I came in today after finding out a passing in my family; devastated. I was short .55 cents and the nice cashier took out of her tip jar to cover it. Aw Shucks gives me comfort and then (I guess the manger) she has a mullet/ mixed ethnicity/ and freckles. Came to my table as I sat down super rude "do you have your card?" And I said "I have Apple Pay" and then she proceeded to hand gesture "come here" so I went to repay my tab. It was a rude embarrassment to say the least. As I sat back down I heard laughter ( it may not been about me) but I felt humiliated as a customer. After the news I received I came here for comfort not humiliation. You should treat anyone with respect because you don't know what someone is going read more

Went in because they said on their sign that they had crawfish specials. The special was $11/lb. That's not particularly special. In fact, it's one of the highest prices in all of DFW. I opted for the spicy hot boiled shrimp instead. Shrimp came out pretty quickly, but were not particularly spicy. Unfortunately about a third of them were mushy - see pic for more info. I've been to this location several times and everything is always... just okay. Service is friendly, but food is average. read more

Went to this location on Tuesday at 7 pm. We checked the hours on google before going everything says stayed open until 10 pm. Even the hours posted on the door. It was dark inside and closed. Very disappointing so can't review the food. read more

Yum yum yum!!! Wow, I hadn't had such good, fresh oysters in a while. The fried oysters are lightly breaded, fresh, and sweet. With some tartar sauces mixed with a little heat, makes for a great lunch. They are known for their grilled oysters, which were actually not my favorite. The cheese overpowered the oyster flavor. I also had the dozen oysters, and that was probably my favorite. In fact, I ordered 2 dozen, of course to split. The best time to come is during their Happy Hour, because the prices for such quality and quantity is unheard of for someone coming from CA. Check it out, plenty of parking and space inside or on their patio. read more

Went in two months ago for lunch. Placed my order and paid, and waited for about 30 minutes but didn't receive my food. Went to ask for a refund because I had to go back to work, and was only given a partial refund. Tried calling the restaurant to get that sorted and was placed on hold for over an hour. The manager said she would take care of it later because she was busy. Over an hour later got a call back from the manager who issued the rest of the refund and said she would send me a gift card or something later on. A little bit after this I received another call from either the store GM or DM who asked me about the whole situation and once again offered me a gift card for the hassle. He said he would mail it to me but that never happened. For a time I would come here every week or two for the lunch special, but I haven't been back since. read more

Been coming to Aw Shucks for 30 years. Today we went to the Frisco location for lunch. Went to order, asked young guy taking orders "How much for 6 grilled oysters?" He gave the amount and we ordered 6 grilled oysters and our other food. I asked if the oysters could come out first. He said "they take a long time, most people eat their entrees and then when they are almost done they eat the oysters." Excuse me but have any of your staff ordered an appetizer? Regardless, we did not order the oysters due to the "long time to make" (Pure BS by the way) We ordered 2 iced teas, 1 shrimp salad, 1 shrimp po boy. Easy right? Nah. My wife's order came within 5 minutes. She ate her salad and I waited and waited and waited and waited. Right when my wife was finishing her salad, my po boy arrived. I told the lady that I didn't want it and could she get me a box, She pointed to some boxes and walked away. Bad service, horrible staff, lousy attitude, feckless delivery, and pure indifference to the customer if your staff doesn't want to work. So you robbed us for $40, gave us lousy service and didn't give a (you know what) that the customer got screwed. Thought you would want to know how you lost 2 customers that have been going to Aw Shucks for over 30 years. P.S. The shrimp po boy was left untouched on the table. read more

Best happy hour in town! Loved the chicken wings and shrimp! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Baked oysters were awesome along with the crab boil. Great place for families. Very clean for a restaurant that serves seafood. read more

2nd time my lunch order was messed up. I ordered lemon pepper wings got to work and was given buffalo. Called to ask for refund since I'm at work now and don't have time in my schedule to drive 15 mins back up there. Was told i couldn't get a refund. Was told they have a new system. All sounded like lies. Will not be returning. There are better places closer with better service. read more

Kudos to Vince and the staff at Aw shucks! I've been working in Plano for about 4 months. And have been looking for a place to eat where I can still be a good boy and stick to THE DiET! The food is great! Shout out to Diego the cook! Awesome atmosphere and gooood music. Thanks guy's I needed that! read more

I'm able to treat myself to an awesome seafood meal Catfish Filets, Veggies and Key Lime Pie! I can always count on my peeps at Aw Shucks. All I have to do is call in my order or if I come in and order there's a very short 30 minute or so wait time. My food is always fresh and hot and served with a smile! It's never overly seasoned. The staff is always consistent and it's always clean in the restaurant. They've even brought my food to my car before. read more

The staff and food were amazing! We'll definitely go back! Went in with a large group late and they were very accommodating!

The food at Aw Shucks in Lewisville was fair at best. The fish lacked seasoning and didn't taste fresh. I ordered two orders of crab legs (1.25 lbs each), but it was obvious I got the short end of the deal--mine were much smaller than the other persons at the table. Honestly, I've had better crab legs from the frozen section at Walmart. The shrimp was decent, but the fries were terrible and also unseasoned. Definitely not worth the $150. Adding this Dec:31st after seeing a comment from management asking me to give it another shot. "Dear Manager, what motivates me to give it another shot? It's obvious you are writing my complaint off which is likely why my experience was bad in the first place. No I will never ever go back." read more

I grew up on aw schucks and big schucks. I'm glad they are still around because I love their tartar sauce. I usually get the fried basket of some sort! Oysters are great, shrimp basket is great, too. Gumbo is meh, watery and flavorless. I'd skip the gumbo read more

I love your crawfish and promote it whenever there is a social media post on where to get. I am a regular that orders during season all the time. You are the only place not lowering your prices which were high anyway. What the heck read more

Damn,we thought you couldn't go wrong with a fish fry restaurant.....we were wrong... I mostly have a list of cons...IDK why everyone seems to like this place??? First off the blonde kid at the front counter doesn't wear his mask properly. Second,the drinks were watery. I guess it is just okay. Following that,the fried fish was hard and flavorless,as was the shrimp that came with it. The hot wings were drowning in their sauce and they were also hard. My only guess is that the cooks overcooked these items. The shrimp cocktail was okay,and that's just it. Okay. I don't know why it is a house specialty? The oysters on the halfshell were delicious and meaty and fresh and they were the only thing my boyfriend and I actually like.... Unfortunately, whomever shucked them forgot to disconnect the little muscle on nearly all of them, making the "oyster slurp" practically undoable. "Aw,Shucks!" Is absolutely right. read more

I was sorely disappointed. Got fried catfish and fries and it tasted like old grease. I think the fries were from multiple old trays. Some had grease sitting on them and others were overcooked. The hush puppies tasted like bad grease also. Won't go back. read more
