How have I never rated this place? I've been here multiple times and every single time, this place has been amazing! If you are in the area, you must stop by and grab a great meal! The service is also EXCELLENT. They have been the nicest, friendliest people I have ever dealt with especially when I've come in at a very inconvient time at closing. You Must GO. You Must Eat there. read more

They have some good food, even the burgers! Do yourself a favor though & make sure you order their DELICIOUS bread pudding!!!

I met some friends in Marshall for lunch and chose Cajun Tex because of the good reviews. Ordering was easy and the girl at the register was very nice. We each ordered the same lunch special, fried fish and shrimp platter. It was so-so. The shrimp was extremely salty. The fish was good, according to my friends, but I found it a bit undercooked and too soft. The lone hushpuppie had corn in it and was okay, but the fries were amazingly yummy! We also got 1 bowl of seafood gumbo to share because we wanted to try it out. First of all, don't order the gumbo. Just don't. We have all eaten gumbo throughout our lives and honestly, this was the worst gumbo we've ever had. It was more like some brown gravy that didn't taste right even before seafood was added. It was bad. The restaurant floor was extremely sticky, and the ladies restroom needed a good scrub down. I can't really say if I'd recommend Cajun Tex since I haven't tried much from the menu, but I would say if you go, the one thing I would recommend would be the fries. read more

Food was really good. The dirty rice was delicious. I highly recommend this place. Will be back in Marshall on business next week and will defiantly go there again read more

We drove to Marshall to try Cajun Tex. We eat later in the day and there was no crowd. Cute place, pleasant staff. They have a big menu selection to chose from. We picked the fish and shrimp lunch special. The fish was delicious: perfectly fried, not greasy. The fried shrimp were also perfect. Lightly battered and fried. French fries, a hushpuppy, cocktail and tarter sauce included. Food was freshly cooked and was delish! They have self dispensers for soft drinks and tea. Good value for the price. We will be back! read more

Amazing flavors, huge portions, and super tasty! The decor takes me to the Bayou of Louisiana, full of eclectic fun items and a cute help yourself side item bar. Staff was very friendly and they have a great variety on the menu. Worthy of 5 stars! read more

Ordered a shrimp, bacon and fried green tomato po-boy. The shrimp were large and had a nice seasoning on them. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the fried green tomatoes were good. Food didn't take long at all to arrive. Have no complaints about anything. read more

I tried this place on a rainy day. I ordered the chili cheese fries and the lemon pepper wings with ranch. The chili had a bitter taste to it but the wings were good. The blackened pasta was ok but the sauce was runny and not a thick Alfredo sauce. The restaurant wasn't clean. There was some dirty tables and trash under the table. When we sat down a worker came and was cleaning tables and sweeping. read more

Very good food! Fast as well. Nice atmosphere and always a pleasure to eat. Been eating here a long time and will continue

I loved it. The Red Beans were scrumptious and the Gumbo hit the spot. While the etouffee was absolutely loaded with crayfish tails and seemed authentic, I found it woefully under seasoned. I loved being able to try this trifecta, enjoyed the garlic bread that came alongside. Delicious iced tea. read more

This place was great!! We're Marylanders traveling from Dallas back to MD and stopped here for dinner. We had a bunch of questions about the menu but the staff were really patient and friendly with us. We got two apps - pickles and meat pies - and three dinners - pork chop, chicken and waffles, and a shrimp dish I can't remember the name of. Dessert of course was the beignets. It was all DELICIOUS I'm genuinely sad I likely will never eat here again, that meal will stay in my dreams. read more

We were driving from Caddo Lake to Houston and wanted a filling lunch for the drive! I couldn't decide and my soup addiction kicked in.... so I overordered. Fried green tomatoes: SMASH! Breading is perfect, thickness of the tomato is perfect, sauce is perfect... they are PERFECT! Soup sampler: crawfish etoufee, red beans and rice and gumbo. All three were magical, my fave would be the red beans and rice overall. Comes with 2 slices of bread and the potions are generous. Shrimp po'boy smothered in crawfish ettoufee...was my favorite part of the meal. I love a messy/wet sandwich and this had all the elements, crunchy bread, big fatty shrimp, tons of crawfish. I plan on making this place a more frequent stop on my travels! read more

Cajun Tex - Inside - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Marshall, Texas

Camping at Caddo Lake State Park, we decided we needed to drive into Marshall to get some Cajun cuisine. Read all the good reviews on Cajun Tex and some of the not so good ones. It seemed a lot more positive than negative and we were so glad. The place is great from the moment you walk in the door it just feels like the Bayou. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I would suggest reading over their menu online prior to arriving. They have so many items and the big boards don't really give you any ideas on what might be in/on them. Plus it might help to decide if you are in the mood for sharing or taking a chance on ordering a whole entree for yourself. On this particular trip my wife and i split an appetizer and entree and it was perfect. We split the Cajun trio (2 fried boudin balls, 2 natchitoches meat pies, & 2 natchitoches crawfish pies they were all so good but my wife and I loved the boudin balls best. We then settled on the Bayou Party for our entree, 3 stuffed shrimp topped over with crawfish etouffee & served over dirty rice. I mean you better bring the hunger cause it is plenty of food and so dang tasty. We loved everything about the meal, except we ran out of etouffee for the remaining stuffed shrimp. Oh, did I mention the log of garlic butter toasted bread that comes along with it. Yea, that is a keeper as well. Today we got a jump start on dinner and so glad we did (4:45ish) because by 5pm they were getting a steady stream of customers but the staff did not miss a beat. I was pretty impressed with all of their smiles and just the over all joy they seemed to show to all. We are camping till Monday and feel pretty confident we will make a point to stop here on the way home, maybe grab a cup of gumbo and po'boy for the road. Plus a couple of beignets whats a road trip without white powder everywhere... The only reason they did not get 5 Stars was sweet tea tasted old.. read more

Very good food at a very reasonable price. And very friendly staff. Ordered the seafood gumbo and meat pies/ boudin balls to go. Gumbo had a nice roux with plenty of shrimp and crawfish. Also had okra, which I like in mine. Also a large buttered, toasted piece of french bread came with it. Meat pies and boudin balls were fresh and came with a great remoulade sauce and fresh ranch dressing. It was enough for 2 meals, for $25. I'm always pleased with everything I've eaten there. read more

A tale of 2 (or 3) meals. We started off strong. Great Ambience, The appetizers were out quickly and were outstanding (fried green tomatoes and fried alligator). Then the main course - The shrimp and crawfish pasta had probably been in the window too long as it was cold on top and lots of crawfish shells mixed in. Husbands shrimp platter was heavy on the breading but well cooked. Dessert was fried chocolate pies with vanilla bean ice cream (bluebell of course) But they went crazy with the powdered sugar but the manager was happy to replace them unfortunately the definition of a fix was to replace the exact same pies. Including the one bite. we will not do again read more

Quirky and delicious! Boss lady and I came in for the first (but not last) time. We were greeted warmly by the staff, and they didn't rush us even though we didn't know what to order. Since we were headed to Jackson for BBQ, we just wanted a taste of the bayou. She got their chicken fingers, which come in a crazy amount of different styles and flavors. I sampled Mama Nan's crawfish etufee and the Seafood Gumbo. Both were really good! The fresh brewed iced tea was very refreshing. We'll definitely be back! read more

So disappointed in all but one of our meals, burger was not fresh warmed up (old), hot wings were old, fish had a bad taste and service was sub par - not friendly not eat here again. read more

First of all I love the decor of this place! The flavors of some of the food I tasted wasn't the best though. Still a nice place to stop at. I ordered a cup of the seafood gumbo and it wasn't bad at all. However, I love fried green tomatoes but the taste wasn't there for whatever reason. I even re-taste things to try making an effort to establish the reason why but still I couldn't place it. The boudin I ordered tasted great(I also love boudin so it's tough to mess up the flavor)-both the link as well as the boudin balls. But it's the music and decor that makes this place bode well in my book. read more

The wings tasted like old chicken and were freezer burned. I don't know what was going on with the beans but they were not good. Pecan cobbler was good. Ice cream with the cobbler was not good. Warning to those with food allergies, they did not understand the concept despite asking several times. We ordered a blacked fish taco and it came on a wheat flour tortilla and upon request for a refund both the female employees were very rude. Our group of twelve will not be returning. Not worth the risk and the food was not great. read more

Try to come here every time we're out in E Texas visiting family. Usually get po boy and it's a lot of food. I love the twister taters-huge serving (a lot usually goes home with us to snack on later) I eat the same thing every time but others try a variety off the menu. No one has been disappointed yet. Service is good, employee's friendly -condiment bar and serve yourself drinks. all good. read more

Well, it's been a while since I've eaten here and it will be a long time if ever I eat here again. They have changed the batter on the fish and shrimp...Yuck! The batter is now thick and tough. The sweet potato fries were cold. The only good thing we had were the meat pies. The ambiance needs a deep cleaning. The service was awful. The only time anyone spoke to us was when we placed our order and when I had to get up to request lemon and when I needed go box. We were the only table in the place at 5:30. Don't look for the place to be open much longer. read more

Spot on Cajun Tex joint for lunch after visit to local state park. Etouffee and meat pies were sensational and others in my party enjoyed big fish baskets. Highly recommended with fun and casual atmosphere! Will visit again when in town! 6/5 stars. read more

It's ok but high priced for what you get. I think I was disappointed because I had heard how great it is.

I haven't had anything I didn't like here. I especially like the catfish and I love the coated French fries. It makes them crispy and tasty. You order at the counter and it's brought to your table. Very low key, casual, seat yourself atmosphere. read more

Great food and service. The ambience made it an overall great experience. I recommend this place.

The food used to be great, this was my 3rd time there. We always stop when driving from out of town. This time was off. Gumbo was bad, fried seafood tastes like chicken and grease. The boudin balls was the only thing good. Tasted like canned food. Disappointing. read more
