Cajun Restaurants in Dallas, TX

“I love coming here! Great vibes, great conversations and GREAT FOOD! Love, Love, Love it!“

“All of your meals are absolutely fantastic! They are also reasonably priced. The staff truly do care about each meal that they make“

“Restaurant Beatrice in Bishop Arts is always a win. The food is fresh, flavorful, and leaves a lasting impression. I go often—sometimes twice a week—and everyone I bring loves it too. The service is just as incredible. Queen is amazing—she knows the menu inside and out and always recommends exactly what I’ll love. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. Whether it’s a casual night out or a special occasion, this spot deserves a place in your rotation!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed eating here with the good vibes and friendly environment. My server Aisha was phenomenal. Beth engaging and quick with the order time between the food coming out. Highly recommends others coming here.“

“My first visit, did not know this place existed. Catfish was so good the best I've had in Dallas since Catfish Smith. I have been paying $$$ for food that didn't even come close. Very Cajun...ate there and got food to go total 4 meals but didn't break me. I will be a regular.“

“I’m from Tennessee visiting Dallas and wanted some catfish so my husband got on google to search and I’m so glad he found this place. This food was nothing short of delicious 😋. My children had cheeseburgers, wings, and desserts. My husband got wings and I had the fried catfish with Mac-n-cheese, and collard greens which were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Season to perfection! Before going to home, I’ll be stopping by again.“

“Pier 88 is officially my new go-to spot 🔥

We ordered a full seafood boil (shrimp, crawfish, sausage, corn, potatoes) and everything came out hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The flavor was bold but balanced — not overly salty, just straight up Cajun done right.

Crawfish were on point… and if you know, you know — you gotta suck the head 😏 that’s where all the flavor is.

Portions are BIG, easily shareable, and worth every dollar.

If you’re in the Dallas area and craving a legit seafood boil, this spot hits. No doubt we’ll be back 😋😋“

“Always the Best food and service!“

“I enjoyed the most is the band and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this place to anyone .“

“The crawfish (especially the Who Dat style) are SO good. The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. We also love the hushpuppies and Jambalaya egg rolls! They have Happy Hour starting at 4pm, with specials on several menu items. The servers are all super nice and friendly. We always leave there happy and full!“

“Las alitas salt& pepper están deliciosas, la sopa vietnamita muy buena tenía mis dudas sobre ella pero la verdad es muy rica!“

“Never had a bad experience here rather it’s brunch, dinner or just grabbing a drink! Great food and service!“

“You can definitely tell that what comes out of that kitchen is a labor of love!!! HUGE pieces of catfish! EVERYTHING WAS HOT AND FRESH!!! Being FROM Louisiana, this is the food that I was raised on! If you are in DFW, and you are looking for some good food, make the drive.....you WON'T regret it!!!“

“Charlie's Creole Kitchen was the place to be for a casual meeting tonight. The fried green tomatoes and boudin balls were top-notch, and the crab claws and bacon-wrapped shrimp were stellar. Owner Jim Hickey's hospitality stood out—he spent over an hour chatting with us and he greeted every guest that walked by. It's clear he values his regulars. And there are a lot of regulars! The atmosphere, service and food delivers on on every level. A solid choice for anyone craving authentic Creole cuisine in Dallas. #CharliesCreoleKitchen #eastdallaschamber #gedcc“

“Very impressive for an airport restaurant. Generally speaking, food and service are similar to their regular restaurant locations which seems to never be the case with airport restaurants. They have gone out of their way to keep a solid menu and a full bar as well as the feel of a restaurant that is a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle upstairs. Highly recommended.“

“I love this restaurant they are amazing food as well as customer service“

“I stopped by while marketing in the area and it was during lunch time, order some chicken meal with fried okra and red beans & rice. I asked for hot and fresh and omg it came out hot and fresh!!! It was so delicious and full of flavor! Their customer service is outstanding and beautiful smiles! I will definitely be back!“

“Love this place. It is a small "Mom and Pop" type of place, but the food was great, and the service was great. we had lunch there and everything was delicious. I'll go back and try it for dinner.“

“Not sure about the food, went there for the live band on Friday. The place was LIT!!! Had a blast... Will come back 4 sure!🤩“

“I flew out of A21 Gate at DFW yesterday; another plane flight I didn’t look forward to/ nor dread (as I was flying home to meet my Honey), when what should appear: Pappadeaux! Then I decided to celebrate my successful trip with a fine $30 “airport meal!” Now usually, airport meal of &30 means a hot dog & glass of water (or 99¢ bottle of water marked up to 4.99 and 5$ hot dog marked up to $15 + tip)
But no no no, my friend! Pappadeaux, as good at the airport as out. I’ll show a pic of what a $30 Pappadeaux airport meal looks like.
My server Ethan treated me like visiting royalty, the food was EXACTLY what I needed. Just a salad & appetizer. I chose Caesar salad & a crab Mac & cheese! Do you think I poked around looking for a sliver of crabmeat!? Au contraire, cher! Pappadeaux for the win!“

“Service is the best. Great place to watch the games.“

“Fish Tacos and rice and beans“

“wonderful fresh seafood and very large portions. Super service.“

“great food and service , I been coming to this restaurant since it open and love it every time more and more...“

“You must try if you’re looking for fresh, old-fashioned taste and great service, must try it …..A+ in my book“

“Great place to hang out !!!“

“Showed up just under an hour to close, with the intent of ordering to go since it was so late. Upon walking in we were greeted by several employees and let them know we were doing to go, the gentleman who met us at the door checked his phone and insisted we dine in, that we had plenty of time. Jay ended up being our server and his service was 10/10, from his easy going personality to his knowledgeable suggestions, as it had been awhile since we had been in, I definitely hope we have him as our server again. We ended up ordering king crab (1lb at market price), shrimp (1lb headless), and the Snow crab special (crab-2lb, potatoes, corn), a drink from the bar, and a fountain drink. Even though we were there well past closing I didn't feel rushed or watched.

Unfortunately forgot to take more photos as I was too busy enjoying my meal.

10/10 will return“

“the laughing crab special sauce is delicious!!! Go get it“

“great food. good drinks.“

“please let me know were you located“

“please let me know were you located“

“Hands down one of the best snow cone trucks. The staff is very welcoming and nice. They are very fast and are eager to make sure you get what you asked for. On the menu, it says that any extra item is 50 cents to 1 dollar, which is very reasonable. If ya'll can read the menu and stop being ignorant, the people working wouldn't be rude to you.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Salty meat lol but good BBQ“

“My best friend and I try to go to the Flying Fish once a month since it reminds us of where we grew up in Florida. When we do we either go to the one in Plano, near my home or in Coppel, sorta near her home. There was a coupon for the Addison location, which is closer to my friend, so we tried it. The food was good as usual, but the person who took our order at the counter was just not as personable as the people in Plano and Coppel. We just didn't get that warm and fuzzy feeling.“
