Ate lunch at Hoochie's again and tried something new this time. The fried shrimp tacos (2) were super good - great tortilla, and loved the fries and Brussel sprouts as my sides. We also got their roasted oysters (7) that were so flavorful and the shrimp po boy. Yum! read more

Hoochies - Fish taco à la carte - Seafood Near Me - Denton, Texas

I took my son out for an early Father's Day brunch. We ordered the Hoochie Platter which provided generous portions for two people and tasted delicious!! I enjoyed dipping the potatoes, corn and seafood in the garlic butter. But I'm a messy eater and used quite a few napkins. After we left, on the drive home, I noticed one of my rings was missing. I immediately thought that it accidentally came off as I was wiping my buttery fingers. I called the restaurant and reported the situation, The employee who answered the phone looked at the booth where we had sat and didn't see the ring, but encouraged me to come back and look for myself. In the brief time it took to return to the restaurant, an employee looked through the trash and retrieved the ring!! I was a very happy customer. She went above and beyond. Thank you Hoochies. Thanks for the food and the ring. I highly recommend you. read more

Fish Tacos were burnt! Not what I remember. So many other choices nowadays. Didn't say anything because they were swamped. Won't be back.

Food was good! Reopened and somewhat better. Service was fast and the place was clean too! Best slaw I have had in a while.... read more

Hoochies is, by far, one of the best places to eat in Denton and definitely one of the best places to get Cajun food in the area. The hush puppies are to die for as well as the gumbo. Most recently, I tried the shrimp cocktail and it was the best shrimp cocktail I have ever had. I've dreamed about this shrimp cocktail ever since I had it. The service is always very friendly and very patient while you decide what you want. Although it can be busy at times, you can either sit inside and listen to music while you eat or take it right outside the door to sit in a table and watch people pass by. It's a very chill atmosphere that you're going to want to be a part of right on the edge of Denton's square! read more

We use to eat here often before the renovation. Have been back 4 times. Every time the shrimp and fish have been over cooked. On one occasion they brought out my husband's shrimp after a long wait and realized they had not cooked my oysters. 10 minutes later my oysters came out but the basket was short 2 oysters. I'm afraid they have run out of chances with us. read more

We were traveling for an event in Fort Worth but stayed outside of town until the event. We wanted seafood so we decided on Hoochie's. The restaurant is in a busy district with several other eating establishments. The inside is casual with a typical bar atmosphere. My husband had fried oysters with cole slaw. I had roasted oysters. Our appetizer was fried green tomatoes. All our food was good. We really enjoyed the tomatoes. We are from Alabama so we like a good green tomatoes. These were not overly seasoned as to what we are used to but had a good breaded crust. The roasted oysters were really good and filling. The service is good. You order at the counter and a server brings your meal to you. There are no condiments on your table. These are so.e hot sauces, salt and pepper across from the counter. Otherwise, you will need to ask for others. read more

Only one piece of catfish with meals very disappointing. That's not enough for a meal, cost $5 for extra piece. Gumbo has no okra in it. Shrimp Po'boy only 5 pieces of shrimp! All bread terrible! All self service drinks, condiments and moving tables for big parties. read more

Seriously. Hands down. The BEST fried catfish you'll ever taste!! Get a pina colada too! Amazing!!

My husband wanted to try this place out as he loves catfish. This is in a perfect area as it's in the middle of downtown Denton. Food was great and it came out super quick! Definitely would go back again when we are in the area. read more

Hoochies - Seafood Near Me - Denton, Texas

This is a nice little gem near downtown square I would tell you to go check out, definitely great value for the money. It's a very chill vibe inside which I took a liking to after a long highway drive. Their menu consists of quite a few options to choose from as well but mainly within the seafood realm. I tried their fried shrimp and fish basket and it was great! Their selection of drinks was also very plentiful as well and admittedly I enjoyed their sweet tea! Patio seating is available as well so I had to take advantage of the beautiful day. While I did catch them on a slow day I have to point out I noticed that there was ample parking along the street! read more

Hoochies has long been one of our regular stops since their first location. We recently went again for the first time since the remodel. The updates are nice enough, and there seems to be more seating and better outdoor booths. However, I am not pleased with their menu "updates." They got rid of one of our favorite dishes, the grilled shrimp skewers. The fried shrimp were close but a little different than they were prior- and not in a good way. I can't exactly put my finger on the change. But, the worst offense, is they changed their french fries. Now, fries are normally pretty generic, but Hoochies actually had the best french fries in town. They were thick, steak cut fries with the perfect amount of seasoning. The new fries are literally inedible. They seem manufactured, unnatural, and covered in a weird chemical-tasting coating. I have heard other people complain about the new fries too- I hope they will revert back to the original recipe soon. The salad remains the same and is great. I will never understand why established restaurants change things that their customers love- it is almost never for the better. The plus, the food is still served hot and fresh, and the service is still pretty good. I appreciate the expansion of the menu, but it should not come at the expense of some of your loyal customers' favorite items, and I fear we won't be back unless they "revert" their offerings. read more

Hoochie's Creole and Cajun seafood restaurant anchors our historic 1800s classic north Texas small town square area, which stretches eastwards towards Bell Avenue, at the tiny street Industrial St., across from the iconic Dan's Silverleaf live music venue. Creole, shrimp, and oysters are done to exceptional standards. Wash it down with New Orleans, Louisiana Abita or Dixie beer. Save me some, oh yeah! Cheers, Mark F. read more

Not as good as they once were, food horrible, the vibe totally different and not friendly

Way over priced!!!! They have changed their menu, seafood for two was horrible now and the po-boy is nothing like they used to be!!!! Don't recommend, I won't be eating there again. read more

The remodel is done and they are open! The crawfish were great! It is clean and the service was excellent.

Delicious freshly made NoLa style food in the heart of Denton. Freshly made Shrimp po-boy and fried Okra along with the catfish are delicious. And let's not forget about the swirl frozen margarita; which hit the spot perfectly. Staff is super attentive from the kitchen to the cashier and the ambiance is pure creole, and fun! read more

I don't get it!!! It's crawfish season and HOOCHIES is the only restaurant that is charging outrageous prices!!! They lowered it from $14,99 to $12.99 LMAO!! Everyone else is $9.99 or less! Get with it!!!! read more

The best seafood restaurant in Denton, and likely the best in North Texas!. The decor and atmosphere is spot on. Extremely welcoming and nicely furnished with rustic wood booths and other chairs, tables, and high tops. Flat screens were on the walls as well. While ordering, I realized a co-owner by the name of Brad was taking my order. He is quite a friendly guy and willing to chat if you strike up a conversation. Next comes the food. Nothing less than outstanding. The menu included the usual items like catfish and shrimp, but also red snapper and grouper, clam chowder, etc., all cooked and served in a variety of ways! We had the batter fried shrimp, a blackened grouper po boy, and clam chowder!!! All absolutely delicious! Lastly, the prices were reasonable and portions are big! Obviously, I highly recommend Hoochies in downtown Denton. It's well worth a drive to the heart of Denton for some fresh seafood and good times! read more

Best salad ever. The Hoochies salad makes me love salads. S tier salad. Wow #goodaf Got chicken last time and it was amazing, Fried jalapeños too ! The wait was so long thoe! There was barely any people here . Feels chill thoe . read more

We ordered food from Hootchies while we were enjoying the Jazz band at Steve's Wine Bar. They delivered the food right to our table at Steve's and were very personable. The fried green tomatoes and oysters were delicious. The cornbread was ok, just not our favorite. The sliced bread that came with the meal was great though. We also ordered the shrimp kebabs and the shrimp was way overcooked which made them hard and chewy. The fries and slaw that came with the kebab were not our favorite either. The coleslaw was too sweet for our taste and the fries were rather bland. read more

We've been coming here for years, don't know why I haven't reviewed it yet. We have tried most everything they have and it is all very good to excellent with good size portions. This is a casual place with a fun atmosphere, good music playing and TVs around. Staff is always friendly and service is good. We travel about 75 miles frequently for this type of food we can't get in our home city. read more

Thankful for you #Hoochies... When a 16 year old asks for you & only you for his seafood, that's says alot. Y'all are also so family friendly but offer such a cool little spot to visit on a date night or big group. We love your crab boil paired with a cold beer, or a fried catfish basket. Really idk if there I'd anything on the menu I'd NOT eat & I'm pretty sure we've tried it all. Thanks for keeping denton awesome! We love ya read more

Hoochies - Crab boil - Seafood Near Me - Denton, Texas

Beyond sad and disappointed. Over done, flavorless and sad food. The catfish didn't have any seasoning. Shrimp was so over done shells were stuck to the shrimp the potatoes were still somewhat hard and crab is such a small amount of meat and everything just tasted of water. The steak fries were incredibly bland and the hushpuppies tasted freezer burnt And the prices are way too high. I don't recommend. read more

Food never disappoints! I tried the fish tacos for the first time and was very pleased. It's not often a tacos stay together but these did! The service was fast and easy to order when you get to the counter. Ambiance is inviting and chairs are comfortable to sit and visit while everyone else drinks and eats their food. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Sooooooooooo delicious!!! $34.95 for a bunch of deliciousness! We went here on a whim. You walk up and order then find your own seating. It's a small place and is family friendly. Very casual , no dress code. Great place if you want to go eat and chill without all the "extra". I love that it's open so you can see the outside from inside. The service was okay..I guess as much as to be expected from such a casual space. What would you like? This is the cost. Go find a seat. But definitely willing to give you some extra sauce and answer your questions if you have them lol Parking is street parking. You may have to find a space and walk a little. Overall I look foreword to eating here again! read more

The very lovely man who brought our food, referred to the place as a diamond in a goats butt. I can't come up with something more clever than that, so I am passing it on. Hoochies is awesome. I have been here a couple of times and everything I have had here has been better than expected. I like the open air atmosphere, and my friend and I scored seats outside on a beautiful Saturday evening. The food here is great. This last time we did the ceviche and roasted oysters. The ceviche is made with flounder and I really dig the texture. They are also not skimping on the portions here, it was huge. The roasted oysters were amazing. Perfectly cooked and garlicy. You order at the counter and fins yourself a seat, so if you've got a good sized group, come early. read more

We waited 25 minutes for a to-go shrimp po-boy and it had 3 shrimp on it. Not big, super-sized shrimp - just 3 medium-sized shrimp. Ordered catfish and it was just OK. Your plate is all French fries. An order of French fries with a little bit of fish on the side should cost a lot less. read more

Food was definitely hittin for starters I had the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail which had plenty of shrimp and extremely savory! Washed that down with a Dos Equis ( or two) and had the Full Catfish w/ hush puppies. Catfish was on point, portion size was favorable, nice and crispy the fries were good, I gotta say the hush puppies were better!!! Ugh ignore my kid, she went for ... you guessed it, tenders and fries which she mentioned were the best ever read more

As lovers of seafood, Hoochie's is our go-to when we're not really sure where we want to dine but know that we're not making food at home. In the six years I've been eating there, I have never had a bad meal. Raw oysters, Hoochie's Platter for 2 (steam pot), their fried options, ceviche, shrimp cocktail... it's all good! read more

First time at Hoochies, I hope the food is good. I wasn't able to place an order online for pickup the website returned errors. Customer service needs serious attention they left me waiting for someone to acknowledge me standing at the counter in front of them. At least say hello I'll be right with you, instead I stared at them while they stared back. Just as I was about to turn around and walk out, one of the guys that finally helped me was waiting for me to say something I guess. I blame the owner or whoever is in charge of training read more

I was very excited to try Hoochies, but was severely disappointed. The "full" shrimp basket comes with 8 small, fried shrimp. The steak fries aren't anything special; mostly unseasoned and looked like they could be cooked for longer. At least 1/2 of my basket's shrimp wasn't deveined. The breading was hard. Very unappetizing and we were hungry after. We ended up going to Komodo Loco around the corner for a more satisfying meal. Floors were dirty. Won't be back. If you do happen to go here, it seems like their crawfish boil is the popular item as most tables got that. I definitely won't be back to try it out, try at your own risk! read more

In Denton Texas there's a little dive bar/restaurant that you have to try. While it does t appear to be much don't let that fool you. The food is southern/cajun and it's good. Fried oysters, red beans and rice and more are on the menu. Service is great. You do need to order at the window but then things are delivered to your table and it does t take long to get your food. This was our second trip there and we really love it. Oh yeah. It's also dog friendly for well behaved dogs on the inside. read more

First time here, and glad we came! Ordered the half fried shrimp plate (5 shrimp) that came with fries. Very good, and all the food was hot, which made it seem fresh. Good flavor on the shrimp and will definitely be back. Very good service. The people are very friendly here and the older man who walks around and checks on tables, was really nice! Want to try the Po Boy next time. read more
