Shuck'n Jive - Dallas, Texas

After 43 years as a loyal customer I thought it only appropriate to write a review! I’ve been coming back for the fabulous food & of course, the cocktails. I consider myself a quasi catfish connoissuer. I get the whole catfish which is cooked (fried) to perfection! It’s plump, flavorful and HUGE! After 43 years, it still tasted the same. Honorable mention to the gumbo, fried shrimp, jambalaya, fries & the entire menu. Shout out to Mark Cline, Owner, since birth in 1981 or 82. His consistency is remarkable. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention MEMPHIS, an authentic club that offers live bands, mostly from Memphis. I will say that I put my time in back in the day - too much fun! If you go to Shuck-n-Jive or Memphis for the first time, you have saved yourself a lifetime of shopping for that perfect, home grown friendly type of place!

As others have said, this is a smoking bar. If that isn’t your forte, don’t bother going, or order out. I say order out because the food was really delicious. We ordered the beans and rice with the sausage crispy, and it was really good. The rice seemed lacking in the flavor department, but otherwise was good, and we also ordered chicken fried chicken, (it’s not on the menu, but ask for it) as it’s amazing! Get the gravy on the side just so that you can taste their amazing battering on the chicken. We got two drinks and a topo chico. All of that was only $40. We definitely will be back.

Well I don’t know where or when the people reporting here went, but my boyfriend and I went and we had a blast!

The bartender of which I can’t remember her name was amazing! She did ensuring she could to enhance our experience. The drinks were top tier. The food was fresh and hot! I can’t wait to go back!

"It had been years since I visited Shuck N Jive, as I had relocated, but my recent experience was awful. From the moment I walked in, the bartenders were rude and dismissive. I didn't even get a chance to order my food before I decided to leave.
"The treatment I received made me realize this establishment is not welcoming, especially for a Black woman"

It’s really disappointing, and I won’t be returning. I expected more respect and professionalism, but unfortunately, that was not the case

The food was terrible. I’m not sure if it was because we came late night or what but the Cajun pasta was dry and flavorless . The boiled shrimp that I asked for hot was cold , stinky, & just not good. We didn’t eat and I told the waitress it was terrible. She just handed me my ticket and left it at that. The reviews were so great but the experience was quite disappointing.

The burgers are HUGE & delicious! Good Cajun food, too. The service is quick and prices are reasonable.

The bartender with mustache literally has no idea what is the customer service! He was so rude, aggressive and not even a bit friendly. Will Never ever back there.
