    Hamburger & sweet potato fried w/ sugar
    Amelia L.

    Everything was delicious. Sweet potato fries had sugar on them. Good atmosphere. Order at the counter and seat yourself at a table.

    Grilled fish, grilled vegetables and grilled shrimp

    Had the grilled fish and shrimp with grilled the vegetables. Was very good. The atmosphere was very pleasant and service was excellent.

    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.

    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!

    Chili & Cheese Fries
    Jameka J.

    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.

    Red Beans & Rice with Sausage, Papa Don's Gumbo, Mama Nan's Crawfish Etoufee, Sampler Plate
    Tedi B.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Great customer service and fresh food. Portions are a little big so great if sharing with a companion.

    Excellent family night out at Cajun Tex. Found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a try. The food was great. Catfish, shrimp, boudin, fried green tomatoes; all good. Service was friendly and prompt. Top it off with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    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..

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

There are so few options like this around here. However, I have to knock off a couple of stars over something that should be very fixable. This is done in the sincere hope the management can see this feedback and change things, which will only increase their chance of success. What is the issue? The vibe. Concurring with Heather M below, the staff seems kind of cold and standoff-ish. Outside of bare-minimum service pleasantries, which are always fine, there is little to no other effort to engage and create an upbeat environment. The staff just doesn't seem to know what to do when not actually serving. They need to engage more, show some energy, and just plain seem friendlier. If the owners can fix that issue, they will have a winning total formula here. Perhaps make one Red Bull per hour mandatory for the staff! Edit: I stopped in again for the awesome beer, and things were about the same. Will keep bringing my business in hope, though...

Given she wasn't well versed she didn't add anything as combo meals and charged everything individually. The food took about 30 mins for 2 burgers and a 3 piece tender with fries. So overall the service was very slow. When they brought the food and the tray of condiments over they only had one ketchup on it vs the traditional full tray of options. The burgers were still cold and the buns were stale/hard. I will say the gravy for chicken strips was flavorful and very hot! Overall not the experience we wanted to have. Prices are a little higher than your typical food chain but the portions are larger. The restaurant is large and we found good seating. They also have high chairs available. The floors were very slippery!

The place was so smoky and smelly it would explain why my order was so bad. I got a whataburger classic burger and when I bit into it, all I could taste was mustard and ketchup. I lifted the bun and there was a pool of each and more condiments than meat. When I took it back in and asked the manager if that was normal she wouldn't answer and would only offer to remake it. So I ordered that one plain and added the condiments myself but the burger still didn't taste like I remember when visiting Texas. So sad to see them go so far downhill. A week later we had an rv camper pull in next to us and say the same quality issues with the whataburger in Sugarland. They two said that was their last visit.
