Founded in 1995, SHUCKS! embodies the essence of authentic Cajun Cuisine. In addition, SHUCKS! exemplifies the beauty of Cajun culture. Guests are treated like family and the primary focus of the staff is to provide each guest with exactly what they want, and more.

Our recipes are handed down from generation to generation, using the freshest of ingredients. Our simple blend of seasonings confound the most knowledgeable of diners as they insist an exotic herb or pepper must have been used in our dishes. Come to think of it, there is one ingredient that sets our food apart: love! We Cajuns love to share our food and hospitality with the world. We prepare each stuffed shrimp, each bowl of crawfish etouffee, each plate of fried or grilled oysters with love and pride.

Our philosophy at SHUCKS! is quite simple: If you don't love what you order, you simply don't pay. There is, however, one condition - at some point during the course of your meal ... YOU MUST STOP EATING! Welcome to our restaurant, welcome to our home, welcome to SHUCKS!

SHUCKS! has been serving the same loyal community for generations. Some of our servers have been serving at SHUCKS! for 10, 20 - even 30 years! The folks in Abbeville, LA, and Lake Charles, LA have grown up with SHUCKS!
