Shuck N Jive - Richardson

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 placewas just like I remember except it was empty except for maybe 5 customers and two sat outside. The music was up too loud and thehelp and a customer threw feet away had to shout at each other to be heard. The food was okay but we received a baked quarteredpotato 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.

Gumbo was some kind of light brown watery soup with a few very chewy shrimp and a few little pieces of some kind of fish. Tasted like it's been microwaved. Hush puppies not warm enough to melt butter. Overcooked and tough. Tasted like they'd been under awarmer for awhile or cooked from frozen.

Food is terrible! Order the crab stuffed shrimp, the shrimp and crab hush puppies, and a bunch of sides. The crab stuff shrimp is basically a frozen butterfly shrimp stuck with frozen crab cake meat. The stuff that is mostly breading, it was almost likestuffing. The shrimp and crab hush puppies were fried cheese balls. Every time I bet into them I got a mouthful of Grease to thepoint of I had to tear them in half, drain the grease and then eat it. I did not taste a bit of seafood in these cheesy greasemesses. Top it all off the made fresh daily bread pudding was as hard as a brick. The best thing was the fries and all for$40. Will not come back.

Great food, friendly service. Fish and chips, fried mushrooms, and cajun pasta were all delicious. Tried the crab/shrimp hushpuppies but we didn't like them, they were more like a cheese ball with crab and shrimp.

This is an awesome place to get your grub, drinks and catch a good game in the screens. Food is the BEST!!! Service is quick, attentive and friendly as should be. I've made it a point to come back soon.
