Good food since beginning Tommy is a awesome guy and doesn't have patience for his employees being rude to customers. All of the dishes are up to par and we love the ribeye sandwich & the shrimp po-boy read more

Really good food, had Boudan nachos..yum. also had 2 desserts, both very good. Friendly service and clean.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Eaten there several times. Always great The desserts are fabulous read more

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

Pre-pandemic I enjoyed stopping here on frequent trips to Louisiana. Last two trips, maybe not so much. The little, young, girl taking orders, both times, was mask-less while everyone else who worked there, that I saw at least, were masked up. She's the one person there that literally interacts with everyone who comes into the restaurant. Were she infected and asymptomatic, she could spread the virus to someone(s) of the hundreds she interacts with daily, who could possibly get very ill. Of all employees there, she's the one who absolutely has to mask up. Food last trip below average with tough chicken fried steak and below average fried oysters, trip before, tender chicken fried steak with great taters. read more

Food was excellent, nice sized portions and served quickly. Next time I'm back in Marshall that will be a stop worth making again! Well done! read more

This place is so amazing! It's not too busy, and the food was great. It was clean, the service was quick, the food was out fast, and the staff was kind. read more

Food was delicious. The staff was professional and welcoming. Great place to eat!! I highly recommend.

I just notice that I haven't reviewed Cajun Tex in quite some time. I've grown to like it a bit more than I have before, though it's still not my favorite place. I'm not sure if my change in view is because the restaurant has gotten better or I've learned to order more carefully. I quite like the chicken wings, a dish that I've never really ordered much of anywhere else. Fried fish has gotten a bit better, as has the gumbo, though I would never cite it as great gumbo. But it's fair. Sanwiches are decent, especially the "Cajun Bear" Po Boy that features local smoke house Bear Creek's Bear Creek Smoked Jalapeno Sausage. (Bear Creek are great folks and have a thriving mail order and in store smoked hams and turkeys.) It's really a semi-counter service restaurant -- order at the counter and they brind you food to you. Self-serve on drink refils, etc. It's a restaunt that we've included in our typical local rotation on a once or twice a month basis. read more

We had gumbo and etoufee. They were good. They came with little meat pies that were like an empanada filled with Cajun spiced meats. Good value. Portion sizes were small for Texas but just right for us. We didn't leave hungry or overly stuffed. read more

1st time visit and last. Was not sanitary to my standard being a food place. Everything was extra salty couldn't eat because my head started hurting. read more

Food is always amazing:) The catfish is the best I've had anywhere!!!!!! Ohhh & the garlic toast Yum

Gator bites were small, but the pasta dish I had was pretty good. Decently priced & good flavor.

The first time we tried this place was last May 2022, and everything was great. This last time, June 2022, was much different. The fried food was over cooked, and a smartazz, very rude girl taking the orders. Clean it up, folks! read more

Was skeptical at first but proved to be a good choice. Service was fast and friendly, portions were nice and food was tasty. Don't miss the beignets and fried chocolate pie! read more

Stopped by here looking for some catfish for lunch. But their menu was so full of options that I changed my mind. I had the fried green tomatoes and a bowl of seafood gumbo. The tomatoes came with a side of spicy ranch, but it was pretty mild, but delicious. I ate one and saved the rest for my trip home. It was hot and tasty. The tomato inside the breading was sliced thickly so it was easy to eat. The dialing gumbo was wonderful and full of gumbo, crawfish and bits of shrimp. The roux was dark and flavorful. Not too spicy. I wish I lived closer so I could come back often. read more

Passing thru looking for some good food Went inside to order. Asked for extra sauces and butter. Ordered 4 appetizers Boudin balls, Cajun fried green tomatoes, Fried Alligator Cajun Cornbread. We got Good ...Boudin balls Crackling size Alligator bites. Literally the size of my first digit on my pinky, looked like the leftover fried crumbs in the fry basket Cornbread was described as 3x3 by 3 inch thick pieces getting 2 pieces. We got 2x3by 1 inch thick pieces of hard cornbread with Liquid Margarine in a ramiken. ( that's not BUTTER that's cooking oil) GROSS Fried Cajun tomatoes were 3 end pieces cut to thick the crab stuff in the middle was over cooked but edible. No I would not eat there again. read more

What a wonderful experience! We were immediately and warmly welcomed, and given excellent customer service. We had a large party, and were given the option to sit at a table to wait for everyone to arrive before ordering at the counter. Once our food came out - which came out quicker than expected - we were very pleased with the heat, both temperature and spice-wise! All of our meals were excellent. We brought in a birthday cake not expecting such a wide variety of desserts offered at the restaurant. That was our mistake for missing out on the delicious sounding desserts provided by Cajun Tex! We will definitely return for some bread pudding! So glad we found this place while in town for the Wonderland of Lights. This place definitely deserves all 5 stars! read more

Loved the food, the atmosphere and the family style that you're surrounded by really makes you feel at home.

I ordered the Cajun Tomatoes it's an appetizer. It sounded really good, but I was a little disappointed. The green tomatoes were fried with too much breading for my taste, the ratio of coating to tomato was off. The cake was good, it was a pretty nice size as well as the crab meat on top. There also was a sauce on the bottom that was tasty. Overall, it was good I just wish the tomatoes were better. I placed my order before I got there and the lady was super nice and helpful since this was my first time ordering from here. The lady who checked me out was also very nice! I plan on going back because there were a few other things I wanted to try! read more

Last time I was there the rice in my etouffee was in solid chucks. Looks like the kitchen staff over cooked the rice till it dried out at the bottom of the pot. That happens, but please don't be so lazy to scrape this garbage into my food. Gross. read more

We really liked this place at one time but the service is so horrible now that we will never bother going back again. The manager, Brandi, is abhorrently rude and extremely disrespectful. It's painfully obvious that she knows nothing about customer service or running a business. Also, our food was not prepared as ordered, orders were mixed up and indistinguishable by sight or taste due to the utter lack of any flavor. Not only will I never recommend this establishment to anyone again, after today I will in fact, strongly advise going absolutely anywhere other than this. read more

The food is great and so is the service. I love how they have options of the patio outdoors. The price is pretty awesome too for the portion of the delicious meal. Totally recommend and they deliver too! If you have enough orders. read more

We had a group of 15 show up on Monday (6/21). We called ahead and gave them about a 20 minute heads up. They accommodated us with the back room and could not of been nicer. I know we were alot to handle but the staff was very friendly and patient with us. And to top it off, the food came out quick, hot and delicious! We picked this place on a whim and could not of asked for anything more! It is BYOB so just keep that in mind read more

The food is amazing and you get a lot of it ! We had the crawfish tacos, big easy po boy and gator eggs. I recommend all of these !! read more

Great food, great service! I came here on a busy Saturday evening to very welcoming and friendly workers - just so we wouldn't lose our table when we ordered, a worker put an order number on our table to indicate people were sitting there. We ordered boudin balls (which tastes just like the dirty rice, except fried) for an appetizer, and I ordered a small catfish platter, which was very filling and delicious! The breading wasn't too salty, the catfish strips were large, and the slaw that comes with it was around 2 oz. and tasted fresh and creamy. I ordered dirty rice for a side, which was a wee bit bland, as I was expecting it to have some spiciness to it. My boyfriend had the Louisiana style BLT and it was a bit too much for him when it came to breading, as the tomatoes were fried (and large), but the garlic fries were good. I'd love to go back when I'm in town and try their bread pudding. read more

JG score of 5/10 (+2 for food, +1 for atmosphere, 0 for price, +1 for fountain Diet Dr Pepper, 0 for service and +1 for we return from time to time) Okay, we have eaten here probably 2 dozen times or more even trying different things. Some things are awesome, some are very good and some are just okay so your experience can easily vary on what you get. Our top 3 favorites are the Bayou BLT, the BBQ Shrimp and the Austin Philly Cheesesteak. The atmosphere is a large restaurant all open with Cajun and Texas decor everywhere. It is a nice place to eat in. The price can get over $15 easy for one of the better items. They do have fountain Diet Dr Pepper. The service is typical and friendly. We do return here from time to time. It is one of the better places to eat at in Marshall.......if you get the right things. read more

What a lovely place! Cajun tex delivers again. Saturday night dinner was bumpin with live music and bustle of people. Atmosphere is so much more lively on the weekends because of the band. I ordered the Breaux Bridge classic- my oh my. Blackened catfish with crawfish etouffee poured over. This place sure reminds me of Louisiana. That dish is on point and very affordable. Keep in mind, the blackened catfish portion is twice as much as the fried catfish portion. No idea why it's such a big difference. I also got the crawfish mac n cheese $2.99 special and total came out to $15. Mac n cheese was just okay- I was a little disappointed because it reminds me of easy mac. Besides that, all dishes are awesome. Give this place a try! FYI parking lot is a bit small for its popularity, so my coworker and I ended up parallel parking along the side street of the restaurant. read more

Rude. Bad customer service. Overpriced food. You're better off going to you're refrigerator to eat. Fake Cajun atmosphere.

Avoid. Food is bland. Service is lax. Just not a good experience. I never write a review unless I have been at least twice and had the same experience. I have been to Cajun Tex multiple times and it got worse with each visit. This place needs work. Considering they have been open for the better part of a decade, I would assume they would have the kinks worked out. I guess what people want is giant portions regardless of quality or taste. read more

Pretty mediocre for all the hoopla. Maybe there isn't much to offer in Marshall. I would never go back here!!!!
