Delicious!!! We didn't have a wait and the food was brought to us pretty quickly for a family of five! I highly recommend.

Update since it has been years since my first review. I have to drop the rating to three stars. I still like the place but the consistency has been variable the past few visits. Sometimes my order is really impressive and other times the same order is much smaller and missing some items. Example, there are times that the oyster po'boy is loaded and sometimes the po'boy is so skimpy with hardly any tiny oysters. Sometimes I get hushpuppies but lately it has been only sometimes (?). I've had tomatoes left off my dish, wrong side, etc. The please serves GREAT food and the restaurant itself is really nice but I just wish the food would get back to consistent quality. read more

Used to be the best shrimp po'boy on earth! You can tell ownership has changed and not for the better. So sad as I have just lost a regular dining place. Service is still good though... read more

This place is awesome! I had the blackened salmon, which was top notch. Couple that with a nice cold beer plus an awesome staff and you get an experience that you will come back to. Please try this place amd see for yourself. read more

I came by on a Saturday afternoon to pick up a bowl of seafood to go! Service was great and I was able to find street parking. My gumbo was still warm when I got him 30 minutes later, which was shocking! However, the rice for the gumbo comes in one of those small sauce containers and was not fully cooked with tiny crunchy pieces in it, which gave my food a gritty feeling I didn't love. The gumbo itself was delicious and full of okra, which is my favorite part! I didn't experience many bites of seafood, but I could taste it in the gumbo. I would definitely come back and try their po'boys next time I'm in Denton and maybe just get a cup of the gumbo next time because it was good! read more

I must say I was very impressed with my shrimp. They were fried to perfection and seasoned well. My husband ensues the fried oysters and the hush puppies. The kiddos had the fish and fries and it must've been good to them as well because Cupcake are all of her food. My Aunt has the fish and shrimp street tacos with extra slaw.. Now the only thing I did not like was the hush puppies.. the looked cool but flavor wise was not for me... Now let's get into it about this sweet tea with lemon.. OMG I had like 4-5 cups lol... it was good and I really liked it a lot.... The place was nicely decorated.. The atmosphere was laid back. The customer service was great and the staff was very informative and answered all the questions my had... we will definitely be back again.. read more

Overall decent. The blue oysters were $3 each, some were small, and some had several pieces of shell stuck in the liquor. For me, not worth $20 for 6. The crawfish had an overwhelming clove scent. Not so much the flavor in each mud bug, but you wanted to push the plate away because it smelled way too much like clove. It was perfectly ok. Not good or great. Maybe I'll try them again. read more

There isn't really anything good to say. You order at a counter and they ask for a tip. I'd recommend NOT tipping bc it goes sharply downhill from there. The service flow is deplorable. You get your drinks as you order but refills are never offered again. You have to flag someone down for that. This is where it gets wild: hubby's food came out first without side of coleslaw that he ordered. The server took the order number off our table. Not sure how she was going to remember where to deliver the rest of the food but ok. 10 minutes later said coleslaw was delivered. 10 minutes later I asked about my food. Eventually food is delivered (hubby is done with his meal at this point). They had one of my sides wrong (brought coleslaw instead of salad) so I asked her to exchange it. 10 minutes later I asked about my salad. Crazy thing is this was happening all around us. The table next to us had food delivered in waves as well but 1 patrons food took so long to come out she asked for her money back. Food was just ok. Not seasoned well. Hush puppies were not good. We Won't be back. Can't imagine why this place has 4 stars. Did I mention do not tip first? There is zero service other than food delivery which is spread out over 30-45 minutes. Buyer beware. read more

A local joint serving up some no frills seafood. Think po-boys, tacos, crab and shrimp boils. During crawfish season, when you're lucky enough to catch them, they have decent sized crawfish served with cut red potatoes and corn. I'm here to rate the crawfish, fried oysters, hushpuppies, and french fries. They have bins that house iced beverages, Topochico and Mexican cokes. We walked in and only a short wait so we were able to snag a table by the window, sort of by ourselves. The crawfish came out piping hot, sprinkled liberally with spice and our wait person brought us some melted butters to dip those little tails in. The oysters were cooked perfectly, crispy cornmeal crunch, in a basket of steak fries and two hushpuppies. I LOVE the square hushpuppies and dipped that into the butter too. If you're sharing, you'll need to ask for another ramekin of ketchup. I did not care for the potatoes or corn. The corn tasted frozen - but when sprinkled with that spice, I still ate a piece of it. The staff are pretty great and friendly. What are you waiting for? It's only crawfish season for a short while! Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food! read more

We used to be regulars. We had a bad experience after ownership changed and haven't been back until today. Wish we had stayed away. Read the recent negative reviews mentioning poor service so I do think have to repeat things. My hubby ordered a shrimp poboy, and his plate arrived quickly. I ordered fried shrimp and a salad. Took 15 minutes and a request to get my plate. Was going to say "it" happens. But they failed to give me my dressing. No apology. Just a look at me like "what a b-I-t-c-h"! Sorry I had to tip BEFORE we ate. At $57, this was one of the most disappointing meals in my life. Review I left with 5 stars a few years back: Makes me miss south Louisiana a little less! Great po'boys. Good boiled seafood. Cold beer. And nice people. Nothing about that review is accurate today Go elsewhere. read more

My wife are currently at Hoochies. As we walked in, we saw a sign that said Catfish and Shrimp Combo $12.95. As we approached the counter to order we asked the young lady what the combo special consisted of? She said 1 piece of Catfish and 5 Shrimp. My wife immediately said I want to order the special. I inquired about an additional piece of Catfish and she said that would be the dinner order for $21. I said ok, I want that. When our orders were delivered to the table my wife had 1 Catfish and ONLY 2 shrimp. I only had 4 on my dinner order, which should have been a minimum of five. My wife approached the counter and was told in ONLY CAME WITH TWO!! I went up to the counter and a young lady, I think was the manager came out and spoke with me. I reiterated what the young lady who took our order told us the special consisting of 1 piece of Catfish and 5 shrimp. The manager told me that the young lady has been working here for sometime and she knows what the special consists of. I asked her if she was inferring that I was lying? She said again, I know she knows what the special consist of. At this point I let her know I was not lying and she could solve the issue by asking the young lady who took our order. The manager then pointed out the special was printed on the electronic menu above. I told her we saw it on the sidewalk sign on the outside of the restaurant. The manager said it was written on the side walk sign what the special consisted of. I told her it was not and she should honor what we were told. She said I can, BUT I WILL HAVE TO CHARGE YOU FOR THEM!! At this point I was done!! Shortly thereafter, we saw a group conversation in the kitchen area. When finished, there was a new young lady taking orders and the manager went outside and the contents of the special on the sidewalk advertisement. It was obvious she found out we were telling the truth all along. But guess what? She did not apologize nor honor what the young lady told us. That is unprofessional and poor leadership!! We are fans of Hoochies and have been since moving to the area in 2014. Whomever the owner is needs to address this issue, not for us, but to make sure it does not happen again.

This place is awesome. I got the coconut shrimp and everything was fresh. The fries and hush puppies are also very good. I tried the standard shrimp as well which was delicious. They have a handful of beers on tap and they will open the garage doors when it's nice outside. I recommend you give it a try! read more

The food was great. Came out as it was ready. My beans and rice was piping hot. And the coconut shrimp is the kind of coconut shrimp you want to eat. I tried to green tomatoes and they were not too soggy, Served with an aioli but was better on its own (Got an order Togo) Sam noticed on the crawfish that they weren't as easy to peel as she likes and I'm sure they shorted us on our third pound. all and all it's super chill, open vibe and highly recommend for a relaxing evening. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a rainy Monday. Impressed that they had Blue Point oysters on the half-shell. These are a go to when I visit the upper East coast. They were delicious and were opened as I watched. Catfish was hot, crispy, and tasty. Steak fries were hot and when dipped in Ketchup are awesome. Atmosphere reflects a seafood shack and adds to the experience. Service on point. read more

Such a disappointment. I use to come here on a regular basis to get their grilled shrimp poboy. It used to be filled with shrimp and super fresh. Stopped going because the quality dipped and the service is absolutely terrible. Well decided to give it another go today. The poboy was awful. Four tiny little grilled shrimp so basically eating a lettuce sandwhich with tarter sauce. Didn't really eat it because it just tasted odd. The kids that work there don't listen and not polite. Dropped an entire bottle of hot sauce bottle on my husbands foot and didn't even apologize. Not a great way to start a Sunday after noon. Also, the sandwhich was almost 20 bucks. Robbery for that little seafood. Do better hoochies. There's a reason your not crowded on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. read more

BRUH okay I honestly love hoochies' po' boys but last night I got le fish tacos and they were cold which like it's fine I got take out I can just heat that sh*t up and NORMALLY I wouldn't give bad reviews bc I know what it's like in the restaurant biz plus COVID okay I GET IT. BUT in my fish tacos last night I found a bit of an ENERGY POWDER PACKAGE. LIKE WHAT. HOW DOES IT GET TO THAT. HOW DO YOU ROLE UP A WHOLE TACO AND NOT SEE THAT. so you understand that me giving them 3 stars is generous as f*ck but like also I feel like I could sue???? Love y'all but Get it togeder after this one my dudes... read more

I ordered this local must-visit for takeout, and thought that it was a solid way to end my day. I haven't eaten out a lot since COVID started (I've mostly been ordering in), but I've had quite a bit of Hoochie's before the pandemic. I'm happy to say that the food tastes just as good at home as it does in the restaurant! Food: I ordered the blackened catfish and the fried shrimp. The catfish was good, but was a little slimy. The fried shrimp were crisp and well battered; I ordered the kid's portion, though, which is why there aren't that many shrimp. Both items came with a generous helping of steak fries and a couple types of sauce. The fries were average -- nothing spectacular and a bit chewy. Takeaways: Hoochie's is a good local spot if you're in need of some seafood. It's one of those dependable places for when you're craving comfort food, although be prepared to drift into a food coma right after! read more

Stopped in here while on a day trip to downtown Denton. We were looking for someplace for a quick bite and a cold beer. This place did offer both, along with great service. Even though we just got the hushpuppies and a couple of beers, we were extremely impressed with how much your buck went here. When we ordered our "side" of hushpuppies, what we got was a huge basket of them, all made fresh. They were warm and inviting, served with a side of ranch. The Miller Lites were ice cold. Looking at their menu, the prices were good - especially if you got way more food than expected, as we did. The customer service is great - the girls at the counter were friendly, and the manager checked in on us to see how we liked the food. This place is a couple of blocks off the square but well worth a visit. Hopefully we can make it back sometime for a full meal, based on our experience and the other reviews on here. read more

Since Sam has left the only thing that is good is fried food. The boiled and raw seafood is next to awful because they charge so much for gulf oysters $3 bucks per and shrimp lbs $36. My impression is the boiled and raw is so expensive there now that they cannot turn it quick enough to call it fresh seafood. I had a mushy plate of shrimp on a fijita grill. We a few bites and left. It was truly disgusting if you like fresh gulf seafood and should have been thrown out and not served. Please fix what Sam started or prepare for 30% less sales over the next two years. It did recommend Hoochies whole heartedly but no longer can I. read more

We have walked passed this place many times and now I regret not having tried it sooner. We ordered 1 and 1/2 boils, oysters, and hush puppies. Everything was great expect the hushpuppies. They were more like a fried square of cornbread than a traditional hush puppy. They weren't bad just not our thing. We will definitely go again. read more

Service was great .. food was.. Meh... atmosphere was nice ... went there because we were in the area and I checked in here for Cajun food .. the "hush puppies" were made with cornmeal AND FLOUR.. I have a gluten intolerance... and USUALLY, they aren't made with flour .. so, there's that.. Gumbo.. well... it was supposed to be Seafood Gumbo .. more chicken and sausage than anything.. and it REALLY tasted tomatoey( if that's even a word ).. . Wasn't Good either way... read more

Strolled by when wandering around Denton town square. It's pretty good, we had the bowls of gumbo and cornbread. The cornbread really shouldn't be a buck a brick, it really should have been an option with the gumbo. The gumbo itself was very good, the seafood was a good variety like it should have been, only the okra was a bit over-ripe which results in it being "thready" or fiberous. Still good. We plan to go back and try the shrimp cocktail sometime. It looked good on other's tables. read more

2nd time here and the food is killer! The first time I got the grilled fish which was great but the portions were small for the money but today I got the street tacos. I got 4 of the fish tacos and they were fantastic! Actually 3 would have been enough but I got 4 and I am definitely full. They are not small traditional street size but normal taco size. I know what to order from now on. Pricing was good for this plate. Come at lunch on a weekday and street parking is good to go. Love the laid-back atmosphere! read more

Great place if you've got the munchies for some high quality fried seafood like Poboys etc. I have not had the oysters or anything like that but they also have non-fried food as well. Service has been great and I like the atmosphere on the square. A little pricier than I was expecting but seafood is expensive. read more

Very friendly Cajun place we went to. We had ceviche which was delicious. Also I had hot boiled shrimp (half order) which was okay but shrimp aren't deveined and that surprised me. Also had 3 lbs of crawfish which was huge but a bit too spicy for us. We took them home so we can rinse off some of the cayenne pepper there's a lot of it Table also had blackened catfish which was fantastic and would definitely order again. Great ambiance in a great location Just be fair warned about spice levels if you are sensitive to that read more

I am instantly a big fan of Hoochies for quality seafood and a relaxing and casual atmosphere. We were close by enjoying some cold brews and searched for a spot to get some dinner. Fortunately, we found that Hoochies had great reviews, and they were not lying. I ordered the shrimp boil which came with a great portion of shrimp, potatoes, and a small piece of corn. When you order you can get it regular or spicy, or of course I got it spicy. The shrimp were excellent and cooked properly. The seasoning on the shrimp added amazing amounts of flavor that penetrated into the meat, not just sitting on the shell The seasoning made my lips burn and were very satisfying on the heat scale. Beware not to rub your eyes, even if you have washed your hands with soap and water for a while after having this dish. I also got some oysters and was please with them. You can get them prepared in multiple different ways, but I love them on the half shell over ice. They were shucked very cleanly and were easy to enjoy with a little of the provided cocktail sauce and horseradish. You can order them individually so you can get exactly what you are wanting. It felt like they normally have multiple species of oysters, but it was Blue Point oysters on our mid-June visit. My family order the shrimp tacos and was very pleased with them. The taco is filled with delicious shrimp with cilantro, avocado, and a delicious sauce. When you get everything into a single bite it is delicious. It was served with Spanish-style rice that was not tomato-based and packed some great flavors. We found that the staff was very friendly and took good care of you, while all the time moving food out to tables. They also had plenty of staff working to make sure that things ran smoothly. There was plenty of seating while we were there and the restaurant was clean. read more

My husband is from New Orleans and was so excited to try this restaurant. Man were we disappointed. I had the boiled shrimp. It was absolutely flavorless, overcooked and just sad. The hush puppies were terrible. Zero seasoning and served with ranch. Hush puppies are always seasoned with onion for starters and served with butter. He asked if the shrimp for the fried shrimp was fresh or frozen. Girl came back and said "it's battered here". Pretty sure it was frozen shrimp. He was so disappointed. Said the shrimp was completely flavorless and unseasoned. Needless to say, we will not be back. Also, the tables were covered with a film that was sticky and gross. Liquid was all over the bar and no one bothered to clean any of it. read more

This place is awesome! Ordered shrimp po boy and shrimp tacos and an ordered of hush puppies. 10/10 The bread in the po boys is the best I have EVER had. The shrimp was fresh and tasted like we were at a seaside restaurant. Keep doing things exactly the way you are doing them! Please don't change! read more

We have been going to Hoochies regularly for years. Used to have the best fried shrimp in the area. Three of us went this evening, all ordering something different and all three meals were overcooked to the point that we left several pieces of shrimp and oysters on our plates. The shrimp cocktail, usually served very chilled came out warm. We understand there has been a change of ownership recently and we are sad to see one of the best places in Denton go downhill so rapidly. We might try it again in the future hoping the get their act together, but it won't be anytime soon. read more
