If you want authentic Cajun food you need to try this place. They really know what they're doing when it comes to the ingredients to make Cajun food. My dad is from Deep South Louisiana so I was raised on Cajun food. It was always hard finding great Cajun food here in Texas. Any other places do not compare. Having food from here made me feel like I was eating in Louisiana or in my dads home and reminded me of what real Cajun food is suppose to taste like. read more

Danni's New Orleans Eatery - Crawfish etouffee plate! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Sherman, Texas

If you don't read anything else about this restaurant, please read this. I'm crying with hurt and frustration. I went to get food. They told me that my food would talk over an hour and they would text me to let me know when it was ready. After a little while I went up there, parked and waited for their text. Over an hour and a half, she told me she hadn't put the Oder in and that I'd have to wait. Finally she told me there would be no charge. I dont do business like this and I will never go back. This place iris a Mike. I was hoping it had gotten better so I wanted to try again. I do not recommend Danni'. After three trees to get what I hear is wonderful food I'm done. You can't treat you business like this. I've never been allowed to talk with the owner. I will go up there and explain this and then NEVER GO BACK! read more

Very friendly and attentive service, like the cozy vibe, but it is possible to not have a place to sit if there's a lot of people. Food was a little pricey but amazing! Will def go again. read more

My glass of wine was advertised as half price from 3:00 to6:00 and cost 8,00. Can't imagine it was 16.00 full price. Service was excellent. Can't really explain the flavor but other than a bar b Que very spicy sauce,for sure not the Cajun we are used to. read more

The food is the best in this area. Just be prepared to wait 45 minutes to an hour. We always order it to go

My Cajun family loves this restaurant. It's a homey little hole-in-the-wall place run by a mom and her daughter. They've got all of the Louisiana and NOLA classics, and our favorite is the crab cakes and the crawfish éttouffée. And the crawfish breaaaad is delicious!!! Because it's a small family business, they are only open on Thursday - Saturday. Plan ahead for a chill, slow dinner because there's only one waiter in this cozy little spot. BUT she is the BEST. Go support this local gem!! read more

It's a little place, don't let that prevent you from going or you'll miss out on some of the best Cajun food. The beans & rice have perfect spice, the shrimp poboy is amazing. The value for price 5 stars, large portions of amazingly delicious food. My wife and I have been there once, but we'll be back soon. Next time I'll post pictures. read more

The food was really good. I made a simple request to order some catfish without any sides and was denied the request. Quite pricy for what you get and the neighborhood. read more

They are never open when I looked on line it said open , when I got there they were closed n it was 115pm tried again at 11am closed

Food is BEYOND AMAZING but the service is painfully slow. Saw 2 tables walkout in our time there. If you go, just come knowing you're gonna spend a lot of the time waiting, but the wait will be sooooooooo worth it!! read more

Great food and service. Very homey and New Orleans vibe. I look forward to going back

Crazy slow service. Only 9 people in the restaurant and took over 45 mins to get an updated on the food was still want ready. I did find it interesting that margaritas were timely delivered to the kitchen. After total of 55 mins the food arrived. The shrimp etouffee was good and warm. So final thought. food was good. The service absolutely sucks. read more

Danni's New Orleans Eatery - Shrimp Etouffee Plate - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Sherman, Texas

good food, possibly the worst ambience and service i've experienced. if you want to eat their food just take it to go

Very disappointed me and my gf arrived at the restaurant at 8:40 a whole 50mins before closing. And when we walked in we sat down and three minutes later the waitress came out and said we aren't taking anymore tables tonight. And had us leave. That is not how you run a business there was still plenty of time to have us and we were told away. I love the food but turning people away like that is not how you keep people coming back. read more

Food was great. Be prepared to wait as it is being cooked extremely fresh. Service was top notch and the ambiance couldn't have been better. It's just a little hole in the wall Louisiana type place but man is it good. I suggest the Boudin Balls and the Gumbo and the catfish for sure. My wife and I were very surprised how good it really was. read more

Service - Painfully slow Food - Nothing authentic and below average quality Value - Overpriced for the quality of food Atmosphere - Could probably use a good spring cleaning Hubby and I decided to stop here for lunch during a trip to Sherman because of the high Yelp! reviews, but do not be fooled! As south Louisianians, we love to support local and enjoy some Louisiana home cooking, but boy were we wrong to pick this place. This restaurant is located in an old shopping strip with NO signage except for painted windows. We arrived about 1:45p, well after the lunch crowd. All 6 tables were full, but it appears people were just sitting at empty tables. No sign of an employee. Hubby turns on his timer because we see two tables walk out within minutes of our arrival. We grab one of the tables that walked out. At the 0:30 mark, we were acknowledged by an employee. I say we need menus, but instead of the server bringing us menus, a local patron gets up to bring us the menus. At the :40 the server finally takes our order. Despite "Lunch Specials" being on the menu from 11:30-3:00, the server told us lunch specials (around $15) were not available. Instead, I choose the Deep Dirty South dinner ($28) and Hubby the Shrimp Po-boy with fries ($18). At the 1:00 mark, 3 more tables have arrived and walked out. That makes a total of 5 tables walking out within one hour because they were never given service. We observed the local patron ordering boiled crawfish, but the server told two other tables that crawfish is not available. The server chats with the locals rather than getting drinks and taking orders from the rest of us. At the 1:15 mark, my Deep Dirty South dinner arrives. It is supposed to be crawfish étouffée topped with a crab cake and piece of fried catfish. The fried catfish was 1/3 piece of filet, coated in a beer batter (not cornmeal), soggy, and muddy tasting. The crab cake was from frozen pre-made and not freshly made. The étouffée was in a weird overly sweet red cream sauce on top of a incredibly salty plate of dirty rice. Look at my picture that shows the weird étouffée sauce consistency. Each component was bad, but put together, it was a terrible blob of food for $28.00. I pick out the seafood and ate the bread, as to not waste an expensive plate. At 1:30 mark, Hubby's $18.00 Shrimp Po-Boy and fries arrives. The po-boy bread was not on an authentic crusty French bread, but a sandwich roll. Since Hubby was starving, he devours it. The server never brings us the ticket, but instead a sheet of register paper asking for 18%, 20% or 25% tip with a drawn signature line. The meal without drinks was $49.50. We kindly opted to leave a cash tip on the table that was a different amount than asked. This may be considered "authentic" for Sherman, but not within my Louisiana hometown parish lines. read more

Personalized service with food cooked to order. Nice to find a local place with good Cajun food and fine people serving you.

We wnt because yelp reviews. They are sort of a lie. The food was okay. Way over priced and way to long of a wait. Especially being we were the only patrons in the restaurant. 2 shrimp poboys 1 order of red beans and rice , 2 drinks over 50 dollars. I have ate cheaper at at&t stadium for two sandwiches, and everyone knows the food there is way over priced. So that being said . The sandwiches were good. I make better redbeans and rice myself. Save your money and go somewhere else when you are craving cajun. read more

Super stoked about trying this place out. Pics and some of the five star reviews had my mouth watering Had trouble finding it as there is no signage in an old strip mall with signage for everything else. It is tucked in between other establishments with signs. But hey I like treasure hunts and this would sure be worth it We walk in and there are literally just 5 tables with black tablecloths. Very dark inside so I thinking New Orleans...black tablecloths. Black curtains. Super dark. Vooodoo??? Anyway we had a seat. You guessed it. Black menu with white letters We were there for lunch at noon. Only customers. Anything I might have ordered was north of 25 dollars. For Lunch. In a dive with no ambience and no customers I was interested in giving it a chance. Dives in NO are fantastic. But it was 40 degrees inside. My wife and I had long sleeves but didn't bring jackets. It was COLD!!!!!! Sat there for 5 minutes freezing. Place had an overwhelming smell of Lysol. We were first customers of the day so she might have just cleaned up or maybe she was trying to cover up something???? Anyway it was apparent that the hostess was the waitress was the chef was the sous chef was the janitor, was logistics, was the owner(?). After 5 minutes of freezing and huffing Lysol without a return visit from the single person that worked there (who was busy carrying in groceries to the back and not answering our questions or locating the thermostat ) we decided to leave I was willing to give it a chance. Even with the inauspicious ambience and lack of rigs parked out front (other happy customers). Even with the prices being double what lunch should cost in Sherman Texas I was just sure had we stayed it was going to be an many hours long experience for which I'd have to overpay and I might lose a fingertip or toes on account of frostbite I hate to say anything like this, but this has got to be a money laundering operation. No way this place has the organic revenue and repeat customers to remain a going concern. What restaurant is only open 3 days a week?????? What restaurant makes zero effort to indicate their location with signage?? No effort on ambience, customer comfort, staffing level, reasonableness of price point, or really anything at all it seems. read more

That picture ought to say enough! All the low reviews guarantee they haven't been here. Now trust me they gonna cook your food as it's ordered. It's not McDonalds. I promise we'll worth the wait read more

Let me start by saying I am not from NOLA but I love me some Cajun food!! If you are looking for Popeyes or even Razoos just keep going. This is genuine homemade Cajun food. My husband and I stopped on the way back to Dallas from Durant. I wanted something locally owned and unique. Well Dani's hit it out of the park! We loved everything we ordered. For starters we had the boudin balls. They are huge and come with a special sauce. My husband got jambalaya with chicken and sausage and I got the Deep Dirty South. OH MY Goodness. Mine was ahhmazzzing!! The crawfish etouffee has this delicious creamy sauce that is just out of this world. We added red beans and rice and Mac and cheese so we could try them. Red beans and rice were fabulous. Just the right kick. The mac and cheese was tasty-baked with cheese but not super saucy. We didn't eat a lot of the Mac and cheese because everything else was over the top. Servings are very plentiful. We should have shared one plate. But then we couldn't have tried each others dishes. We are ordering the bread pudding and beignets. Have already packed up more than half of our food to go but you know we have to at least try the desserts!! The ambiance is quaint. Fun music playing in the background to add to the NOLA feeling. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Someone recommended this place so I'm not sure if I went on a off day but the ambiance alone should've cautioned me. I was told the deep dirty south was delicious. I received a hard piece of something (supposedly fish) on top of some type of huge patty that was supposed to be a crab cake which had some type of filling mixed in, didn't taste any crab. Ordered a bowl of gumbo which only had about 2 tablespoons of meat and the rest was liquid. Oh remember the ambiance so I ordered to go. I was so pissed that I drove all the way from Anna to basically throw $53 out the window read more

Food is good and workers are nice would definitely try again. Best Cajun food in sherman

I took my mother here as part of her 70th birthday. The food is Awesome! The fried fish and shrimp is so good!!! And the shrimp effoughtee is very delicious, but very hot. It is a small place that has a New Orleans style and look. The only reason I didn't give them a five star was due to there customer service. During the meal, there was extreme waits for drinks to be refilled (my mother and I were the only two eating in the place). Also, my mother and I watched customers come in and try to place an order and leave, while three workers stayed in the back. One customer was banging on the counter and not one worker came to the dining area. If you could give a half a point, I would have rated a 3.5. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Best in Grayson County, as of yet. Family owned. Everything was great on the menu, we ordered. The atmosphere felt like a restaurant in New Orleans. We had 16 people in our party and all enjoyed their foods, drinks and desserts. We will be back, soon. read more

The food is ok. Service was extremely slow, like 2 hours to get your meal. I got a chicken with dirty rice. The chicken is tiny basically 1/3 of a chicken breast pounded flat. The rice was dry and over cooked. I was trying to figure out how it took so long to even get the food, when it finally came out. And the prices are extremely outrageous for what you get. read more

Great People, Much Love, and Amazing food. You have to excuse the slow service, they are limited on people cooking back there. My family is real close with the owners. Been going there ever since they open the place. Really Amazing!!!!! read more

Service was good. Food not so much. For the elevated prices I thought it would taste better. Napkins appeared to have been left overs from Wendy's or somewhere. Two meals, three beers = $76 before tip. Maybe our visit was just a bad day there? read more

How blessed were we to be graced by Danni's! I instantly felt so warm especially when I met Danni! They made us feel so welcome. I instantly felt safe and comfy. But the food is top tier and just reminded me of home. I'm so ready to come back. Thank you so much to Danni and her family!:) read more

Pricey but excellent food! Fried pork chops and beans and rice are incredible. Service is pleasant

Wow! What a hidden gem! We discovered this place today and enjoyed our experience. The food and service were wonderful! We tried the fried pickles and they were perfect. Thick cut and perfectly breaded and cooked. I don't remember the name of our main dishes but they were delicious! The food came out hot and perfectly cooked. We will be back....often! read more

I want to start off by saying that I like this place.... And I am going to give it another shot. My family and I checked this place out a couple of nights ago and we're pleasantly surprised. It looked dark, and it's out of the way, so we had our doubts. The owner was the only one there working, but we were the only ones there eating so it worked out! Danni was patient and friendly. She made us feel welcome like we were old friends. The portion sizes were great and the food was cooked well... With the exception of my chicken, unfortunately. I think the chicken was ok, but the milk that they used for the batter had gone bad, rendering my chicken inedible. I chose not to mention it to Danni as my families food had arrived and I did not want to wait for another chicken to be cooked. And, we were having a good visit. Outside of the franchise restaurants in Sherman, this place is truly different. Give them a try!!! read more

Family run, everyone is very nice. Classic New Orleans food that is absolutely delicious!

Okay, first, this place is super small and in a random spot in Sherman. But I swear to you this is the best Cajun you could find other than in NOLA. Especially in North Texas. The portions are GIANT. The picture I added was after I had eaten. And the flavor is so so good. The best part though were the people working. Our waitress (I am sad that I forgot her name) was just the sweetest. And we got to meet Danni. She is just the best!! She's so sweet and she told us they moved here after Katrina and have only been open since August 2017. EVERYONE IN SHERMAN MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE. read more

Wow!!!!! I am so impressed with how delicious this food is. I ordered the Cajun Pasta, chicken only for myself, a Shrimp Po'Boy for my son and the Pontchartrain with Blackened Chicken for my husband. We are happy and full. Portions were large with the exception of the "large to go drink" which was only 16oz and qualifies as a small drink anywhere else in the world; truly my only negative of the entire experience. The staff was very friendly and cheerful even with it having been closing time. The interior is really cute as well. We will definitely be back. read more
