The Free Man Cajun Cafe & Lounge

We went on Tuesday night. All the tables no one was using was dirty and wet. We asked a couple staff if they could wipe the table and they got an attitude. We even asked for a towel so we could do it ourselves and they have the audacity to charge 20% gratuity. I went spent my money somewhere else!! I do not recommend

great place. super friend bartender Lauren and the live music was awesome, so fun!

Like the atmosphere, Cajun food & live music can't get much better than this!!

Went out to hear the band on Thursday July 2, 2026. Band was nice, my waitress Ashanti was great, but Mike who was waiting a table near by spilled sauce on my back never acknowledged it. Another customer at another table had to tell me and help me out!! When I approached him about it he got smart with me and gave me attitude. He finally said well I am sorry what do you want me to do?? He is rude and lacks soft customer service skills. When I asked for management he blew me off and stated that there was no one in charge. Mike killed my vibe. Do not go here expecting customer service of any kind!!!

Went there on the weekend with a group of friends and family. We spent a lot of money. They had a live band that was really good. You couldn’t see the band because of how the restaurant and tables are set up. And they have outside seating available also.

We had the fried catfish basket it was terrible. It was tasteless they came in different shapes. The tartar sauce wasn’t good either. The fries were good.
The Boudin balls were okay. The Cajun wings were okay also. But I didn’t taste any Cajun sauce on them. The hot cheese with crap dip wasn’t good The Cajun blackened catfish didn’t taste good either. The red beans and rice was unseasoned and had a bad taste. The Louie was really good. They ordered alcohol beverages and said they were good.

The atmosphere of the place was good and the waitresses were friendly.

Great Jazz on the perfect Sunday

Use to be one of my favorite spots but the quality of there food and entertainment has taken a step back over the last 5 years.

Been a handful of times and a rather disappointing experience. Had the “Hot Chick” which features spicy chicken that lacked any sort of seasoning, on a bed of undercooked rice. I’ll notch it to a bad day in the kitchen. The live music was great per usual.

Some of the best music, better than some concerts I've been to. Great atmosphere, and staff.

Celebrated my birthday here after several recommendations about how great the food was. My entire party of 20 were disappointed with our food. We all tried different foods from the menu. For a Cajun restaurant, the flavors were definitely off. A few people didnt even eat there food. The music vibes were enjoyable. EOS Band and Knice 2 Know did there thing. I'd come back for the drinks and the music vibes only. Hopefully the kitchen was just having a rough night.

EOS band was everything. The vibe was ON POINT. The drinks and food were magnificent!!!

The band was amazing!

One star for the very kind staff and bartenders and one for live music. Y’all… even the hot sauce is nasty. You can tell whoever owns this place has very little care for their guests and likely their employees. The band is great! This place should be packed. But, a late night kitchen serving bland, old food, feels like a waste of time and money. I’m passing through and in the future, I’ll make sure I eat before I get here. Hard pass.

Live music all day, everyday!!! Great food, great vibes!!!

A must in Dallas if you are looking for live music and great vibes. There wings and fries were to die for, food was extra fresh
