Dine
Shuck Me
Hochatown’s dedicated seafood restaurant, Shuck Me brings a coastal cantina feel to the middle of the Ouachita Mountains.
The menu is anchored by oysters, peel-and-eat shrimp, crab legs, and fried fish, with standout plates including Cajun shrimp alfredo, bang bang shrimp, ceviche veracruzano, and beignets for dessert. Recurring specials throughout the week include all-you-can-eat catfish on Thursdays and a Wednesday burger special that draws a steady crowd. Happy hours and seasonal crawfish boils round out the calendar.
The coastal-themed interior and live music create a relaxed atmosphere that’s a welcome contrast to the more formal dining spots nearby. Both dine-in and online ordering for pickup and delivery are available.
