a month agoThe boiled crawfish was absolutely delicious 😋. The crawfish was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The seafood gumbo was also outstanding—loaded with ingredients and packed with plenty of fresh seafood in every bite. The New Orleans–style coffee had a rich, aromatic flavor, and the freshly made sweet beignets were soft, fluffy, and incredibly delicious 🤤.

a month agoBest gumbo I’ve had in Dallas! All of the food was amazing we got the jambalaya, gumbo and it even came with a huge free order of crawfish! Definitely recommend if you like authentic Cajun food.

2 months agoWhat a charming restaurant! The chef/owner and wife put so much love into this place. The food was phenomenal. They thanked every single person that walked in for supporting them. Best crawfish étouffée I’ve tried in DFW. Will definitely be coming back. Also shoutout for having HALAL meat ! Do not expect anything fancy or modern. Expect delicious, authentic food served by the warmest souls.

2 months agoI went to Swamp Cafe in Dallas last night for Fat Tuesday dinner. It’s definitely a Mom & Pop strip mall restaurant but I could feel the warmth, friendliness and family spirit when I stepped inside. The food was worth the wait. The hush puppies were so delicious that I could not stop gobbling them up! So crisp on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. The only thing that could’ve made them better was just a hint of jalapeño… And the catfish and the shrimp were perfect crispy on the outside and completely fresh non-fishy, honestly the perfect combination. And the french fries were the tastiest tater tubes ever! I saw people eating pans of crawfish. They even had a soft crab sandwich and of course, all the gumbo’s but I’m not a gumbo person so… but I will be going back!

3 months agoAbsolutely delicious! We wanted to experience this place ourselves as a recommendation from SamsPOV. Everything was extremely fresh and flavorful. We’ve had gumbo at many different restaurants and homemade by friends but this one has got to be the most flavorful and filling one we’ve ever tried. The owners are very kind and sweet people. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to try their delicious food! Thank you and we can’t wait to go back.

3 months agoI absolutely LOVE this gem restaurant. It’s so hard to find authentic cajun food made right in Texas but they do it exactly like I find back home in New Orleans because they are New Orleans natives. I got the shrimp po’boy and when I say the first bite brought a tear to my eye with how perfect it was, that is no exaggeration. It took me right back to New Orleans with the flavors, the amount of food I got, the homemade roumalade sauce and the fries, those were divine! They were perfectly made with a delicious seasoning and I finished nearly every bite. The beignets were light, fluffy and deliciously warm, brought me right back to New Orleans again and if you leave with no powdered sugar on ya, you didn’t eat em right! The owner was so kind and gracious and even shared a slice of king cake with me because I mentioned how much I miss being home and its Mardi Gras season. Their menu is simple and delicious and you get a lot of food so bring a big appetite! Highly recommend coming in and support small business with charm, amazing dishes and that New Orleans hospitality!

3 months ago20/10 flavorful in every bite! Everything from the Bourbon Fried Chicken, to 9th Ward Seafood Combo, to the Shrimp PoBoy, and the Seafood Gumbo. Arrived with my family of 6 and everyone left happy and full. The girls favorite part was the beignets of course. Chef and staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back again.

3 months agoMy goodness! Just reviewing my photos alone made my mouth water all over again! CHEF DAVID is a wizard in the kitchen. The boudain balls were crisp on the outside and packed with flavor on the inside. The shrimp and crawfish etouffee and the gumbo were packed with plenty of protein and a rue that was too die for with the perfect spice level! The jambalaya was a heaping mound of rice, proteins, and spice as well! And the beignets were warm and fluffy. The perfect ending to dinner. Add to this experience is CHEF DAVID. He brings an infectious laugh, friendliness that is so welcoming, and over 28 years of culinary experience from New Orleans where he lived prior to Texas. If you've got a craving for Cajun, let Chef David works some culinary magic for you! HALAL prepared.
