    Garlic butter chargrilled oysters
    Marilyn T.

    Food was good. Service fast. No table service. Got pretty busy after we arrived for dinner on a Friday night. There was live music - a guitarist. Family friendly. Chargrilled oysters are always a must for us if they're on the menu. These were good, rated against Acme Oyster in NOLA. Clam chowder was okay. Fried shrimp po' boy - shrimp were small, but seasoned well. Bread was soft and buttery. Fried platter had catfish- a little "dirty" for my taste, and larger shrimp- was good. Overall, 3.5. Cajun shrimp Alfredo was good.

    This place is AMAZING! Talk about a gem right off the square! Seriously, the food, staff, atmosphere, everything is top notch! The food is homemade and you can tell. It's so fresh and amazing! We just discovered this place (moved to the area 2 years ago) and so happy we found our local go-to place!

    Drinks are amazing. Food is delicious especially the new tortilla soup and fajitas. Bartenders and servers on point. Relaxing vibe.

    Rating: 12/10 because math can't contain my joy If you're not emotionally ready to fall in love with fried seafood, then baby--don't step foot into Shuck Me in Denton. But if you are ready for crispy, buttery, flavor-soaked bliss? Pull up, order at the counter, and get your life together over a basket of catfish and some bangin' shrimp. First of all, let's talk about the Bang Bang Shrimp. Y'all. Y'ALL. They lay these golden little bites of heaven over a bed of lettuce and that fluffy white rice like they know exactly what your soul has been missing. The shrimp is perfectly fried--light, crisp, never greasy--with a sweet heat from that creamy bang bang sauce that hits your tongue like a flirty wink. Mix that all together, lettuce and rice included, and suddenly you're doing math in your head to figure out how often you can come back without becoming a local legend. Now for the Thursday All-You-Can-Eat Catfish Special. Listen, I'm from the South. I know catfish. And this catfish? It brought peace to a two-week catfish craving that had me acting dramatic in public. It's flaky, tender, and wrapped in the kind of crispy cornmeal breading that makes you want to text your ex and tell them you've moved on--to better things. We couldn't even finish it all, and trust me, we tried. The fries are classic, golden, and reliable--like the friend who always reminds you to hydrate and carry snacks. And the whole vibe of Shuck Me? Casual perfection. You order at the counter (don't let that fool you--this food deserves a tablecloth and fanfare), then you kick back with your people, soak in the welcoming, rustic atmosphere, and wait for greatness to arrive in a red basket. This isn't fine dining, darling--it's fine vibing. It's comfort food with swagger. It's the kind of meal that hugs you from the inside out and leaves you planning your return visit before you've even made it to the parking lot. In short: Go hungry. Go often. Go with people who will forgive you when you don't share your shrimp.

    It was my first time coming here and the service was kind and helpful, the ambiance gave off a family atmosphere making you feel welcomed ! Not only was the food great and fresh it was also quick to come out after ordering. 10/10 recommend trying this spot if you haven't already, great for family and friends!!

    I've been searching for fresh seafood and it was right here in Denton all the time. I had the full red snapper. Not only was it beautiful to look it, it was beyond delicious. I invited out of town guests and we all agreed that it was the best seafood that we had eaten in a while. This is now my go to for fresh seafood!!!!

    I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, so I finally decided to celebrate my birthday…read morehere and I'm so glad I did! At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    I had high hopes for this location because I absolutely love Radici, and everyone has been…read morerecommending Roots to me. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had. I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.

    This place rocks! We are in town for a graduation. We asked my Niece where do you want to eat after…read moregraduation. She said Babes. We saw the menu and were kind of like ok what kind of a chicken place is this. It was her choice so we went. Our waiter(forgot his name) was cool and was very attentive to us. First sign of a good waiter/server is our cups were never empty. Its been a while that my cup has never been empty. For the food it rocked. Your biscuits are addictive. I dont know what you put in them but we ate alot of them. The dressing on the salad was not over powering. Now for the chicken. We had tenders, fired, smoked and even some chicken fried steak. It was all juicy and tender. What had us surprised was there was no oil on the plate when it was served. The breading on all the chicken stayed crunchy. What ever you do to the chicken keep doing it. The corn, green beans and the mashed potatoes were on point. They are their own food group. Im not a green bean person. I had 2 servings. The gravy just made everything taste better. The deserts tasted like they came from grandmas kitchen. Whats the chances you would open a location in Las Vegas Nevada. Its going to get expensive to drive here every time we what fried chicken. Keep doing what you're doing. It works.

    THIS IS A HUGE RAVE TO BABE'S CHICKEN HOUSE IN GRANBURY!…read more On Sunday, March 29, my wife and I went to Babe's Chicken House in Granbury. We were met immediately and seated promptly. Our server was a young lady named Lauren. More on Lauren shortly. This was not our first trip to Babe's Chicken House. But it had been a while, definitely too long, since we were here when we came years ago, we would usually order a chicken each. Now we are in our golden years and we can't eat that much, so we split one. But it was just as delicious as it has been each previous time! The Chicken was fried too absolutely perfection! The golden brown skin was seasoned perfectly and was very crunchy, just the way we like it. And the meat was hot and fork tender, Oh, I still prefer to use My fingers. The sides of green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes and gravy were off the hook! I'm not sure how they cook that corn, but they can come over to my house and cook it anytime! We both drank a sweet tea with lemon, very, very cold and lots of ice! About Lauren: Lauren is a local young lady who has a constant smile on her face. I never saw her not smiling while we were here. I watched her as she engaged in conversation with many people, both employees and customers, and she was an extremely pleasant young woman. But to my wife and I, she was an absolute, unfettered joy! She kept our tea glasses filled, and Make sure that we had plenty of potatoes and gravy, corn, and green beans. She did all of this as well as tending to her other customers I think that she is one of those young ladies who is so personable that she has the gift of making everyone feel as though they are the most important customer to her. I know that is the way that we felt. My wife had ordered some vegetables to go, And had mentioned this to Lauren when we ordered our chicken. We were nearly finished with a meal when Lauren arrived at the perfect time with the "to go order." She remembered when many such servers in the past at other venues Have forgotten. I need to address one other thing that I frequently hear people complain about. Yes, babes does serve instant potatoes. When you feed as many people in a day and in a week or over a holiday weekend, as they do, something has got to give. And by the way, those instant potatoes are absolutely delicious! I don't know what they do to them, but they are incredible! So if that's your own gripe, find something else to gripe about and instead insert some positivity into your review! This was the most pleasant dining experience that I've had in years and it was because the food was good and Lauren's service to my wife and I was even better! The only suggestion would be that Lauren gets paid more! She's clearly not being paid enough! As for Babe's Chicken dinner house, we will be back! Thank you all so much! And you take good care of our Lauren, because we want her the next time we come! All of y'all who read this review and then go to babes, be sure that you ASK FOR LAUREN! SHE'S A ROCKSTAR!
