Cajun Restaurants near Richardson, TX

“Hands down, best burger place I’ve been to in Dallas. Definitely adding this spot on my favorite list of food choices. The owner was quick and had a calm demeanor. Menu was simple, prices were awesome, and burger didn’t disappoint! Can see this being a major food chain or food truck in the future“

“Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and outstanding!!!“

“The food is awesome,,,their chicken fajitas are excellent 👌 I highly recommend eating here,,,very professional and our waiter was amazing 😍“

“One of the best seafood restaurants in the country. Whenever I am in town I always stop by this restaurant. And we usually order fried calamari and crab spinach dip for starters. Now main dish of choice depends of what we’re craving. Their lobster bisque remind me of home. They have huge portions (everything bigger in TEXAS) and great variety of seafood meals to pig out on. A+ restaurant“

“Excellent service , yummy food , lovely place to hang around with family , relatives & friend ❤️❤️❤️“

“This was very nice and delicious. My apartment complex had Carl's Kitchen food truck yesterday, 5p-8pm. I got there about 6:15pm and there were three customers ahead of me. Mr. Carl was cool. I ordered, paid and got a pager. That was neat. It was not a long wait before I got zapped. The food was hot and fresh. Excellent seasoning on the burger and the fries.

I did not give it 5 stars only because of presentation. My apartment graciously comped my meal (first 25 residents got tickets) however for the price point advertised i would hope a bit more effort in making it aesthetically pleasing. I don't mind spending $20+ for a gourmet burger and fries but please make it pretty.“

“Tessie Jo was our waitress. She was very attentive, organized and fun!! She is very respectful. Food was hot and service was excellent!!“

“Adrian was a great attentive server“

“I normally don’t eat gumbo, but their’s is amazing. It’s very flavorful! It was plenty of meat. I also had fish, shrimp, and rat toes. The rat toes are always spicy. The drink I ordered was a Blue Mofo, and was strawberry flavored. 10 out of 10 for everything! Our server was AC. He was top notch! He was attentive and friendly.“

“Visited The Catch today and loved every bite! My food was hot, fresh, and super flavorful. I ordered a plate that came with catfish, bang bang shrimp, and etoufee, and my husband ordered a shrimp po boy. I also ordered a cup of gumbo side. Everything was cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to return soon and bring friends. We also tried the free frozen Hurricane and it was okay. I prefer drinks on the rocks, but my husband enjoyed it. Great food and service!“

“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.“

“Best select live crawfish in Dallas!! Had no clue they sold live crawfish until recently and boy we will be buying more soon!! They were big and taste great!!“

“Natalie was awesome this afternoon!! She was attentive, personable and professional.“

“If you're a fan of bold flavors and crave something truly satisfying, this fast-food gem is a must-visit! I dropped by recently and only had room to try two dishes — but wow, they made quite an impression.

First up: the crawfish. Big, juicy, and bursting with flavor, each bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and that ocean-fresh aroma that real seafood lovers dream about. The meat was firm, not mushy, with a natural richness that didn’t need much dressing up. It's one of those dishes that instantly makes you say, “I need to come back for more.”

Next came the Vietnamese-style fish sauce chicken wings — and let me tell you, they’re next level. No batter here. Just perfectly fried chicken, golden and crisp, then drizzled with a savory fish sauce glaze while still sizzling hot. The result? A naturally crispy skin that clings to all that umami goodness, with hints of garlic and a whisper of sweetness. It’s a bold, authentic taste that brings the essence of Vietnam to your fingertips.

Even though I only tried two items, I left full and completely satisfied. But trust me — I’m already planning a return visit to explore more of the menu. If these two dishes are anything to go by, this spot might just become your new guilty pleasure.“

“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“

“Great time for family and friends!!“

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

“Food was absolutely amazing!! I visited for the first time today & I will definitely come back“

“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!“

“The food at Cajun Boil Stop was really good, though I did notice the seasoning/ingredients seemed a little different from before it didn’t taste quite the same, but still enjoyable. Our server, Elizabeth H was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her great service definitely made the visit worth it!“

“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!🤩“

“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.“

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

“Great Food 👍 And Quick Service And Good Music“

“My customer told us about them! Really good! I ordered the French Quarter Place and my husband ordered the Cajun Special. Not to mention, you get a free daiquiri when you eat inside.“

“I had a wonderful experience with The Hen House Louisiana Homestyle Fried Chicken Restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was awesome! Chheng greeted us with a smile and was very gracious. I would truly recommend them to my family and friends! 👍“

“I love the seafood it’s very good but the place really needs some TLC. The customer service and overall atmosphere have gone downhill. The long wait times were frustrating, and I noticed multiple customers leaving. There was no music, which made the space feel dull. Adding music could really bring some character back to the place & more communication from the servers to the customers. would hate for this place to close down due to lack of customer service & returning customers no longer coming back ,some cleaning would be nice same stains on walls and floors from the previous time I visited two months ago“

“Best seafood boil yet and I have had a lot of different places seafood the Cajun sauce is a amazing very impressed and will definitely be back“

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

“Got tickets online and appears they were fraudulent somehow as it seemed we paid VIP prices but was GA tickets. In the mess of it all the staff especially Ricki made it right and went above and beyond to take care of us in a time of major disappointment. We will be back here without a doubt. Thanks Lava Cantina!!!!“

“I recommend the King crab legs , delicious“

“My best friend and I had PeeWee's on a recent trip to NOLA, it was seriously one of the best things we had there. My favorite was the Crabcakes and seafood fries! That gravy is amazing as well as the crabcakes! Had to get them again before we left when we found the food truck downtown at the parade!!!“

“They have the best costumer service & food is always ??“

“great food. good drinks.“

“my family and I have been coming here for many years. I celebrate each person's birthday party here every year, it has become a family tradition. I recommend everyone to come here. the waiter Josh is great!!!!“

“Great place to hang out !!!“

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

“Great seafood but it’s very pricey“

“1st time trying cooked oysters, they came highly recommended, and they taste great. The staff was professional and knowledgeable and gave good suggestions. The location is great. It is small on the inside and can get loud. The boil was garlic heavy, but the shrimp and crab legs were fresh and sizeable.“

“I love it here; I've never been to a bad one yet. I always take my out-of-state relatives here for lunch, and the poor boys at the price are very hard to beat! I also highly recommend becoming a rewards member for the monthly coupons and, if you are an outdoorsman, bringing in some of your photos for the wall! 5/5 favorite chain in Texas!“

“first visit great service“

“The food was good, the price fair, the service minimal ok. What was unacceptable was the BLARING VULGAR PROFANITY laced rap music, and the cars stacking up around the drive socializing and smoking pot so that you couldn't park, or even drive around to find a place to park. I brought it to the managers attention and he just became argumentative, and said this is what his customers want. No problem, we won't be back.“

“I’ve been there many times. My kids and grandkids love it. I don’t know how it has been hiding in plain sight next to Gloria’s at Fire Wheel.“
