    Lemon pepper wings and  Loaded Oxtail Fries
    C A.

    Excellent customer service the host was always checking on us making sure we were doing good. The food was simply amazing.i got the lemon pepper wings and oxtail loaded fries . The vibe was great they have karaoke on certain nights. If you looking for good food and a good vibe check them out.

    Idk how this place got 3.5 stars. My girl and I went, and this place was fire. The people were friendly, the service was fast, and the food was good as hell. The drinks were strong and not too sweet. 5 stars! We will be back!

    I hesitated writing a review for the LONGEST! lol the speed has improved. The first time I came, it took an exorbitantly long time to get my order, but that wasn't the case this time. I ordered the crab cluster boil. My only complaints are that the food doesn't quite match the menu photos and my boil was lukewarm. With the boiled crab, you don't get sausage. Once I popped my order in the oven, it was delicious! The staff is always friendly, courteous and professional. Definitely recommend supporting this BOB!

    I've been here a few times before they changed owners and it wasn't as good back then! They are under new ownership now. The new decor was nice and had a madigras New Orleans set up. They have a lot more food options and daiquiris now. I had the catfish fillets and fries, hubby had oxtails with rice, mac and cheese and greens. His entree came with a cornbread muffin which was dry as hell. The Mac and cheese was horrible, tasted like craft. It was the worst thing on the menu, it was like dry yellow noodles, not an ounce of cheese in sight. I was really surprised by how bad the Mac was considering this is a black owned soul food/ creole restaurant. The catfish was great tho! We both loved it and my baby really enjoyed it too. The greens and oxtails were on point. We got a liter of blue hypnotic lemonade and we almost finished the whole jug lol. Everything was good except the cornbread and mac and cheese. Please do NOT get the Mac! I should've let them know that I wanted a different side but the food takes a very long time to come out so I just let it slide. When you come here make sure you have no plans after because the wait for the food is prolonged, order a daiquiri while you wait!

    The service was 10/10, the food is always fresh and made to order. The music is lively and plenty of indoor and outdoor comfortable seating. My favorite place to go when I'm in Frisco.

    My husband and I came here and everyone was so nice and super helpful! They definitely have the best daiquiris in town, my husband loved the catfish and their wings were huge and tasty. And the music they play is really good! 10/10 recommend

    Daqs has done it again with the food! That fried chicken is the best I've had in a long time. The customer service is awesome as well. Keep up the great work please.

    I ordered from Grubhub and it arrived pipping hot! Oxtails were tasty, seasoned well just not as tender as I prefer but good in general. The greens were my favorite! The yams are very good as well! Now we got to talk about this cornbread :( I was really disappointed. It was dry and hard and just not it. It tasted like a stale store bought cake. Prices are high but portions are generous. The Daqs are delicious and on drive through so do recommend that! If you're looking for soul food I do recommend this spot if you're in the west plano area. Just don't eat the cornbread.

    I had high hopes for this place But was disappointed.The $33 Oxtails were way too salty, the Greens were bland and too big,. need chopping a bit,my wife had Cajun wings that were not seasoned,the fries were overcooked with no seasoning added. The cornbread tasted like flour. We asked for water when we placed our order, but when they brought the food to our table, they didn't bring water, so I asked the waitperson for water and she said ok, only to return a few minutes later explaining that they offer tap water(strange) and that they have bottled water for sale. She apologized.and said this was only her 2nd day. So, I bought 2 bottled waters, $4,.Great Value Walmart branded water, I kId you not. The best part of the meal was the side of Mac cheese and yams. After being disappointed, we didn't try their Daiquiris. Hopefully they can make a course correction or they are not going to make it

    Visited on a Wednesday around 1:30p. We were the only customers. It was not a great experience. Maybe they are ironing out the kinks. The young lady taking our order wasn't able to answer our questions in regard to the menu. I'll chalk that up to her only being there a few weeks. Then there was the issue with finding a clean table to sit at. Maybe there were more people earlier during lunch. Although we said we would dine in, our food eventually (and I stress "eventually") came out in to-go containers. For us to have been the only ones there, it took quite a while to receive our food. My friend got the catfish. I got the oxtails. I didn't enjoy my food and neither did she. See the photo of the fried catfish. The oxtails were tough. All around, the experience was a disappointment. My friend voiced this after being asked by a partner of the establishment who came in while we were there. He asked that we give it another try. Seeing that our containers were nearly untouched when we were about to leave is probably what prompted the inquiry.

    I've wanted to check out this place since I always drive by it. I ended up ordering the shrimp…read morepo'boy with a side of Cajun fries. The shrimp lacked flavor and the fries were nothing special. I was not impressed with the po'boy, but maybe, I need to try to seafood boil in a bag. This place was just okay to me. I'll have to try something else as I was not impressed.

    Ever been hangry but can't figure out what to stuff in your belly? That's me tonight on a Tuesday…read more I ended up here and, honestly, I don't know that I'd go back. I got a small gumbo and catfish nuggets at 6.99 each. Even though they have a sign on the door for drink specials, apparently they didn't last more than like two months because they aren't offering that anymore. So I just asked for a water cup. 15.12 and you order at the counter and get your own drink. The water button on the soda machine sticks, so prepare for it to run for like a full 45 seconds before it magically unsticks. Gumbo came out in about ten minutes, but weirdly wasn't hot. Catfish nuggets came out about ten minutes after that (weird since they are both apps) and I asked for my soup to be reheated. I tried a nugget and it was ok, but there's like zero seasoning on them. Bland as my last tinder date people. For a place that touts New Orleans in the name, there's no creole/cajun influence here. Everything was just bland, especially the gumbo. By the way, he took it to reheat and by the time he returned it (14 min later) I needed to leave. He was nice enough to give me a lid and bag though. Service was ok, but there's like one guy and when he disappeared it was for ten minutes. I don't know if he was having to cook it or what but it made service slow. I've visited three times now and feel a three is appropriate. It's fine if you aren't looking for what the name implies.

    This is one of my to go to places for lunch when I'm in the area…read more The food is consistently delicious and the portions are perfect. The staff are always friendly, attentive and professional. There's always pop music playing in the background that you Don't have to try and talk over. I got the lunch special Black Sherry Linguine (personal favorite). Yummy! It also comes in larger portion than photo I uploaded.

    First of all I like a new experience. So, I am glad we tried…read moreit out. I am going to start with the service. We sat in the bar area at a booth. The bartender has such a sunny and sweet demeanor. I am giving her a 6 out of five. My drink was the painkiller, I am giving that a five out of five. So wherever I go I order fried green tomatoes. Now I am conflicted. The green tomatoes were almost ripe. However, the seasoning, the breading, and the shrimp on top were seasoned to perfection. So altogether I will give a 2.5.I didn't order red fried tomatoes. I had the Haddock and Linguine. I don't have to have it again. The Haddock tasted burnt on the bottom. Now I know it could have been delicious because when I put it in the sauce with capers it tasted much better. I am giving the dish a 2. My partner had the oysters they said they have had better broiled oysters and gave them a 3. However, their main dish they give a 4.5. Total experience is an honest for me 3.8. I will round up and give them a four. Try it for yourself you may like it.

    The good: I absolutely love the food here. There is so much flavor. The food always comes out hot…read moreand fresh and prepared well. You will not be disappointed in the food. The menu is simple so I have been able to try almost everything without any regrets. The restaurant is clean and and the decor is fun. They offer standard fountain drinks and bottled beers as well. The bad: Don't let the displayed restaurant hours fool you. Despite stating that they close at 8:30 they will NOT seat you after 7:30. Togo orders are accepted until 7:55. The frustrating part is that most people have to find these details out the hard way, which is after they have made the journey to the restaurant. I just wish their restaurant hours were clearer. Also, some of staff members are not as courteous as others. Conclusion: Definitely try it out. Just be mindful of the hours I mentioned. The quality of the food is worth the inconsistencies in the hours and staff.

    This place has fell off! First of all they've changed names soo many times! When it was boiling POT…read morethat's when it was at its best. We went this past Sunday and first off everything was sooo over priced! Then they brought the seafood out and it tasted TERRIBLE! I'm from Louisiana so I know what it's suppose to taste like and it was terrible! They just dump a whole bunch of seasoning and sauce all over the food but the inside taste like garbage. Our blue crab tasted spoiled! I was looking forward to some good crawfish and was highly disappointed! They just need to shut down at this point!

    Bf and I came here for a date night as he has been here before and highly recommended it…read more I immediately noticed how crowded it was. Definitely a neighborhood local favorite on a Friday night, which is always a promising sign. Menu was diverse and seemed overall quite affordable. You could get many kinds of seafood cooked in practically any way you could imagine with large portion sizes. Bf got a plate with catfish and butterfly shrimp and I got a plate with cod. We split a side plate of fried okra. The okra was above average I would say, and we finished our plate of it. The fries were alright but nothing special, and I'd say the seafood was great. I enjoyed the shrimp I tried off of my bf's plate more than the cod, but it was all cooked well and portioned generously. The sauce it came with was tangy and paired well with the seafood. Additionally, the coke I was given was absolutely massive and easily 3x what you would get for the same price elsewhere. I'd for sure recommend this place. Just be aware that it's on the small side and parking/tables are limited!

    This falls into the category of how have I never reviewed Fish Shack? I have eaten here perhaps…read moremore than any other place in DFW. I eat here weekly for around 20 years. Only reason that I even noticed I had not reviewed was I went to see if anyone had reviewed the Italian Beef sandwich and saw I had not reviewed. Anyway, I have eaten lots of catfish...best in Texas I have found - all catfish from USA. My wife always gets the fish tacos. Always. I have had super fresh shrimp cocktails, grilled fish (depending if I am dieting or not). They have a ketchup and horseradish bar to make your own custom cocktail sauce. This is not a place where you go because you are trying to impress people because of some fancy ambience but if you want to impress because you knew the best seafood restaurant in Dallas, well, you have found the place!!
