    If you're hungry, and don't have a lot of money, D & L's Cajun kitchen it's just a place for you. It is a sort of a combination of soul food and Cajun cooking. This restaurant with plenty of dining seating is bound to have something that you will find appealing and filling. They have a small steam table with the usual suspects of a good soul, food restaurant - oxtails, turkey wings, collard greens, rice, gravy, mac & cheese, etc. Then at a separate location they will fry you fish, shrimp, boudin or whatever you want. As an added bonus they offer on Friday and Saturdays pork Cracklin as good as what I get in Louisiana. So again if you looking to fill up without emptying your pockets, this is a very good choice.

    Had to dip to the "hood" and try out this new spot (new to us).. Yall already know the best food be in the hood..and this place lives up to the standard. Good flavor decent price and nice portions.. Made to order platters and Little Steam Table dinners.. nice variety of options from fried fish and shrimp to ox tails...will definitely be back.

    Turkey Wing Dinner

    This was second time visiting D&L's. The first time I had oxtails, so I decided to try something different -- the Turkey wing plate with rice, collard greens, green beans, & a side of yams. The yams were so-so, green beans were a Go, and the collards were flavorful...hot sauce made them pop. Now idk if they have to ration out small scoops of the Turkey wing gravy, but I wanted & needed a bit more. I live kinda far, so by the time I got home my rice soaked up all that wing gravy & my wing was a bit parched. I still ate it though lol. Overall, I'd go back... but I'll just get the oxtails again. Staff was pleasant & reminds me of mom & pop shops back home. The other guests in line reminded me of like community aunties & uncles from back home too. It was nice visit a place not so trendy with a comfortable vibe.

    The young lady was nice and helpful. The food has great texture, seasoning and temperature. This flavorful food was so spot on, it had my taste buds dancing. D & L's Cajun Kitchen, is a little hidden gem in NE Houston, and my new soul food go to spot. I ordered the oxtails over rice, green beans, and broccoli casserole. It was great!

    The service is absolutely fantastic! Everybody is friendly, helpful and patient with us new comers. You can taste every thing before you make a final decision and everything is home cooked. The price may seem high but the portions are more then generous. One plate feed both me and partner and we both were full. I will be returning and recommending.

    This was awesome! It is definitely soul food to the core. Lots of love and flavor went into the preparation of this meal! Enjoyed our lunch, large portions, reasonable price! Very nice employees!

    Definitely a great little soul food spot! All the food was delicious. I got the oxtail with yams and greens beans on the side. My boyfriend got the fried pork chops with yams and greens. All the plates come with rice and cornbread. We couldn't resist the sweets, so made sure to grab the carrot cake too! I'm not much of a carrot cake eater, my boyfriend is, but let me tell you...it was so good! Employees were friendly and helpful! For sure check out this place out if you're feeling some soul food!

    I don't get what is so Cajun about this place. I didn't smell anything "Cajun," and , I didn't see anything "Cajun." On the contrary, their menu lends itself more to a "country cooking" scheme versus a Cajun persona. I would even accept soul food as this place's namesake, but Cajun? Nah. With a steam table of items such as smothered chicken, pork chops, oxtails, and turkey wings, wouldn't you call that soul food versus Cajun? Maybe I'm being a little picky with the name of the restaurant, but names matter and should tell people what to expect. I digress on that aspect of this review. Since I am trying to eat better, the globs of cornbread dressing, rice, and overcooked vegetables were not appealing for purchase. As far as price...my cousin spent nearly $30 bucks on oxtails with two sides, adding a pork chop, another al la carte entrée , and a drink to his take out order. This may be the typical cost for such hood delicacies, but that's grocery money to me!!! Once more, this place has a Groupon ad that I remembered seeing a couple of weeks back, but when I went into D&Ls with my cousin, I saw a sign that stated that they DO NOT accept Groupons two days out the week (I believe it was Tuesday and Wednesday). In any case, that would be tragic for someone to come in with a Groupon and might be turned away from using it because they didn't know about this restriction. Bad move and poor managerial execution to build clientele. I will give them props sincere staff and for having a pretty clean and organized exterior, but the plain white walls are boring! Couldn't dine in here regardless of the tv in the corner to stare at while stuffing my face. Can you imagine how many stars I'd give this place if I had actually eaten the food?! Based on what others have stated in their reviews, a one!

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.
