Red Beans and Rice w/ Sausage
Jackie D.

I chose this restaurant for a birthday dinner and they did not disappoint! The food was really good & seasoned! Also had the fried green tomatoes and fried shrimp, which was amazing. Drinks are also great. We will visit here again.

Crawfish
Suzanne C.

Stopped by on Fat Tuesday and it was a good crowd size and vibes. Crawfish was decent, good size for this time of year but could use more flavor. $18 for a hurricane which I wasn't expecting but they definitely make them strong. Servers were attentive and checked in frequently.

Charlie's Creole Kitchen on Lower Greenville is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, the whole experience felt like a little trip straight to New Orleans. The vibe is fun and welcoming, and the Mardi Gras décor on the table set the tone right away. We started with the fried boudin balls and hush puppies, and wow -- perfectly crispy on the outside, packed with flavor on the inside, and paired with a sauce that took them over the top. You can tell everything is made with care and authentic Creole flair. The menu has so many incredible options, from seafood boils to blackened classics and po'boys. It's the kind of place where you want to come back again and again just to try something new. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is friendly, and the flavors are bold and unforgettable. If you're craving true Creole cuisine in Dallas, Charlie's Creole Kitchen on Lower Greenville is a must-visit. Five stars all day long -- we'll definitely be back!

1/2 lb crab legs
Lia B.

First and foremost, the kitchen is BEYOND FAST. Our food flew out to the table incredibly fast and piping hot. We started with fried crab claws and fried green tomatoes. Tomatoes came with a divine Creole mustard sauce. Opted for the house dressing (parmesan Italian) on my salad and was not disappointed. We had the Monica pasta that was loaded with crawdad tails, baked flounder with grits and spinach, and 1/2 crab legs. The service was exceptional, even on a bustling Friday night with a lively crowd at the bar. Seating is a little loud, but not horribly so. Only complaint is the lack of sweet tea on the menu.

1/2 Crawfish Etouffee and 1/2 Fried Crawfish Tails

.............My opinion, Pass on the crawfish etouffee . But coleslaw was interesting .............................

Crawfish Etouffee
Kaylee N.

Cajun cheese fries 5/5 Jambalaya 3/5 - the rice and sausage were flavorful but the chicken was a little dry for me. Étouffée 3.5/5 - good flavor but the crawfish didn't taste very fresh to me Cheesy pasta 2/5 - I know it's a kids dish but I expected it to be a little more flavorful. It was really bland and my kid only took a few bites of it. Service 5/5 - our server was quick to bring our food and checked on us. The place is casual and it was easy for us to find seating. Street parking in front and back but was full so we parked a block away.

Crab cakes
Walter W.

Family owned restaurant specializes in Cajun cuisine. Nawlins style decor enhances the dining experience. Emily was our waitress and her attention to our every need was outstanding, Great bar and the coldest beer on tap. Appetizer choices are plentiful. The seafood fondue is a must. Fresh oysters and boiled peel and eat shrimp is a good start. Two gumbos- seafood and chicken and sausage. Anything fried is delicious. In season, try the crawfish it's mouth watering good. Try the crab cakes too Half crawfish tails and half crawfish etouffee was an awesome plate. Save room for the house prepared key lime pie dessert. Lower Greenville Ave has enjoyed this location for 30 plus years Once you visit you will see why it has stood the test of time.

Coleslaw, too spicy for me
Maggie L.

first of all, our server, Emily was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient as hubby made up his mind. I had fried oysters, which were absolutely perfect, correct size, perfect breading, hot, and crisp. hubby had the fried catfish and fried shrimp combo. More food than one person needs to eat. I didn't care for the coleslaw, it was way way too spicy. But as far everything else is concerned , this is my go to place for fried oysters.

Fried Jumbo Shrimp Plate (9)
JC L.

Food was amazing, and the service was great. Staff was so professional and welcoming. The blackened catfish was a hit and highly recommended. This will be my go to place for blackened catfish from now on.

Boiled Crawfish!!!

We arrived in Dallas with that particular kind of hunger that only travel can summon equal parts…read moreexhaustion and anticipation. After a long day in transit, all we wanted was something deeply satisfying, the kind of meal that feels like a reward. When my mother suggested Aunt Irene's Kitchen, there was no hesitation. She spoke of it with the reverence reserved for places that become part of your personal geography former neighborhood staples, the kind you measure other meals against. Years ago, when she lived nearby, this was her spot. And now, standing beside her in a line that stretched out the door, it was clear we weren't the only ones holding onto that sentiment. The queue moved with surprising ease, a quiet efficiency that felt almost practiced. Inside, the energy was unpretentious and steady. Our cashier, while not particularly warm, was brisk and knowledgeable answering questions with the kind of clarity that suggests confidence in the product more than performance. We ordered simply: wings with fries, and two plates of fried fish with fries. The wings hadn't been part of the original plan, but a fellow patron mid-meal and visibly excited leaned over to insist. It felt like advice worth taking. And it was. The food arrived in its own time this is not a place for the impatient but what it lacked in speed, it more than made up for in flavor. The fish was crisp and tender, the wings richly seasoned, each bite layered with the kind of depth that doesn't rush itself. Then there was the jalapeño tucked alongside the plate like a quiet signature. It cut through the richness with a bright, deliberate heat, a small but memorable detail that elevated the entire experience. The dining room itself is modest and well-kept, with many opting to take their meals to-go or retreat to their cars. There's an ease to it all ample parking, friendly faces coming and going, a sense of community that lingers longer than the wait. Because that's the thing about places like this: they don't just feed you, they remind you why the wait was worth it.

Today is Sunday. I ordered within the first hour of them opening. The food here is absolutely…read morepositively some of the best in Dallas. The golden batter is like heaven on a plate. The shrimp and wing box was massive. Wings so good they didn't even need the lemon pepper sauce that it came with. The shrimp was addicting. I found myself regretting not getting an additional order of shrimp. (I will next time). The order came with a side of 2 pieces of well seasoned Cajun flavored corn and potato pieces that were covered with a hefty amount of cheese. A Dallas gem for sure.

Makes you feel like you're on a ship going deep sea fishing for fresh seafood. Teresa was the server I had. She was so sweet and broke everything down. They have happy hour on select food and beverage items from 12-6pm Monday through Friday, but go ALL DAY Sunday so this is the place to be. You're entertained the moment you walk in as they have an upbeat playlist for guests to sing/dance along to & also have some TV's throughout for those who want to stay in the know. Food was also really well prepared & served HOT. No complaints at all. As of now they also provide guests with a 10% off coupon if you share your experience with them on Facebook, IG, Google or Yelp so don't be afraid to take advantage. I'll definitely be back!

I finally stopped walking past Southern Classic Daiquiri Factory and actually went in... and WOW. I…read moredon't even know where to start. But I hate that I wasn't eating here EVERY DAMN DAY! I ordered the Bourbon Street pasta and when I tell you the portion shocked me it was HUGE. Loaded with Cajun shrimp, spicy sausage, and the most tender chicken... I was in heaven. Sweating a little? Yes. Regretting it? Not even a little. Every single bite hit. And let's talk about the hush puppies... they were shaped like little cylinders, which threw me off for a second, but LISTEN: they were FIRE. Like, don't even question it, just order them. I also got a 24 oz daiquiri called the "Side Piece" and the name alone had me crying laughing but it was GOOD good. The music was jumping, the vibe was everything, and the energy in there just felt right. But what really made the experience stand out was the service. D took care of me the whole time! She helped me pick exactly what I needed, made my drink perfectly, and kept checking in to make sure I was good. That kind of attention does not go unnoticed. She deserves all the love. I'm honestly mad at myself for walking past this place for a whole month before coming in. The food? Amazing. The atmosphere? On point. The service? Top tier. Oh and I had leftovers AND they let you take your drink to go? Yeah... this is officially my kind of spot.

Food was great along with service from David! ( a bit spicy…read morefyi) but overall great ambience and music as well ( ;
