It's not too pretty on the outside but like everyone says, "It's what's on the inside that counts!" Go ahead on in; you won't be sorry! I got the fish and shrimp platter. It comes with catfish but they let you choose your fish if you want something different! It comes with 2 sides so I got fries and fried okra. The fried okra was the star of that show for me! Also, I switched out the catfish for Blue Whiting. Everything was well seasoned and delish. My husband ordered the Blue Whiting platter which was 2 whiting filets and a side. He considered getting the etouffee so while we ate she brought out a small taste of it for us to sample for next time. (And there will be a next time!) The girl at the counter (owner??) is SO STINKIN NICE! My gosh, talk about great with customers! (Cutie with fun glasses.) It's about an hours drive from where we live but we're through Waco pretty regularly so we're looking forward to our next stop at Friday's. We'll try to get by on a Friday so we can try some of their GUMBO! read more

Hello hello hello!! Let me start by saying I was blessed and impressed by this establishment. I had a business meeting in Waco today and decided to find a different place to eat. I yelped this restaurant and did not know what to expect but the reviews were good. The young lady that greet me was polite and professional. She started with an introduction sample of etouffee, and just the smell as it passed into my hands made me smile. I decided to place an order and try the boudin balls, the crab cakes, this amazing banana foster cake, a big red, and a combination plate that had 3 fried shrimp, 3 fried oysters, hush puppies, grilled toast, and two large catfish fillets. Run, run do not casually walk to give this restaurant your money and your service. The hospitality was top tier, it's a very low key place, casual clothing but a first class experience. The young lady that took my order said her mother is the one in the kitchen hen behind the scenes waving her magic I would definitely recommend and will be back and bring a few family members when I return!! read more

What an amazing little gem of a restaurant. If you want good Cajun/Southern food then this is the place to eat. We were enthusiastically greeted as soon as we walked in. They walked us through the option on the menu and gave us a sample of their etouffee, and we were sold. It was really good! The only thing that detract a little bit from the experience was the food was served on disposable plates, but with food this good at the prices they were charging this was just a minor observation. Any time I am back that way, I will be certain to stop in there again. read more

Friday's Seafood And More - I cannot remember their name for it but it is rice, Etouffee and catfish filets. So good! - Seafood Near Me - Waco, Texas

The food was generous, hot and tasty. I ate too much too fast cuz it was that good. I had 2 piece catfish, red beans and rice and a crab cake. My wife had the same catfish but with green beans and fried okra. The service was cheerful, upbeat and pretty quick. Ambience was authentic cajun/ local charm. This place is mostly about the food. It is not shiny and new- it is warm and cozy with serious food. If you like catfish give them a try. read more

Amazing food only downfall is they're not always open and can be a little pricey. The po boys are huge and delicious!!

We stopped in Waco on our way to San Antonio. We love Cajun food so found this place. The food is fantastic! The people who work there are super friendly and helpful. It is not fancy, in fact, doesn't look like much on the outside, but don't let that fool you. The portions were healthy and so very tasty. Highly recommend! read more

Run...fly...speed, do what ya gotta do to get to Friday's! Before 7pm. That's when they close to be safe in maybe a not so safe neighborhood according to owners. ‍ Definitely a hidden gem in Waco. We've been before and it's been too long. If you love cajun food do your tastebuds a favor and delight in the PERFECTION that is Friday's! #crawfishboil #etouffee #redbeansandrice #atchafalaya #friedcatfish Sweetest people with service like you're in their home. read more

Food was Amazing! Customer service was BEYOND amazing. You could feel the love and it reflects in their food. As a family we ordered etoufe, crawfish, hot link po' boy and a burger. Along with a mix of fried alligator, calamari, shrimp and pickles. Everything was delicious and the different sauce to dip were awesome too. This place was a hit all around, highly recommend! read more

Great service! Owner very hospitable! Busy little "hole in the wall" with great food, Cajun style. Good gumbo and seafood. Bottled drinks. Bring your own drink is acceptable. Lots of customers pick up to go orders. I ate wonderful meals and took extra orders to go. Gumbo and bread pudding appear to only be available on "Friday". read more

This place never misses a beat! Their food is also so fresh, yummy and comes out hot!! And their service has to be the friendliest around! We had the catfish and flounder Atchafalaya which was so flavorful. Wife had the shrimp & snow crab boil and had to get a side of their yummy etouffee!! Their desserts are homemade and great as well today was the pina coloda cheesecake, banana foster cake and had to get that bread pudding. If you are in the Waco area and haven't given this place a try you are missing out. You can thank me later read more

Listen, I've been to Cajun restaurants smack dab in the middle of Acadiana that were not this good. Holy Lord Almighty!! If you live in, near, or within flight distance of Waco, get in this place!! Make sure the first thing you order is the Bayou Platter, so you get to sample all the fried Cajun pleasures this place has to offer forthwith. Then branch off from there. The Étouffée is a creamy, spicy, shrimpy, crawdaddilly amalgamation of everything that is Cajun. Everything else is fried perfectly. I have to say that I HATE oysters. Even fried oysters. But these fried oysters... ...I cried a little. read more

Best seafood in Waco everything here is delicious just like eating in New Orleans. The boils are the best.

The food is so good! Authentic Cajun food. Family owned and operated! I don't have a favorite, I have tried everything and all was yummy! But Saturday brunch Shrimp and grits is the best! read more

BEST ... I repeat BEST Boudin balls in Texas! I ordered the regular boudin balls and crawfish boudin balls. The dip they serve it with is DELICIOUS. The kick the sauce and balls have are just giving Louisiana spices! I'm so happy I found Fridays & the lady at the register is so nice! Thank you! read more

This is some good cooking! Had the fish basket and crab cakes. Menu has lots of choices. We'll be back!

This was HANDS DOWN the best seafood I've ever had, and I'm from Houston, so I've been to many places that can not top this! When I walked in, the owner explained the menu items and helped us with options that would offer a little bit of everything. We didn't take photos because we devoured our food before I thought to. I absolutely appreciate that this is a family business, and sitting there truly felt like being part of a nostalgic movie. Should you try it? Yes. Absolutely yes! read more

Soooo good!! I've never had Etoufee before, but this was really good! I had a fish Po' Boy and it was huge- so delicious and worth it! ( I had half of it to still take home.) My husband has the catfish with red beans and rice and Coslaw and said it was really good and he couldn't finish either. My girls had the catfish basket and loved it! EXCELLENT service and so sweet to us all! We'll definitely be returning! read more

The food was great! Absolutely recommend stopping by and enjoying some home cooking ! My dad found this gem one day on a road trip and ever since then we've been taking trips all the way from Fort Worth to eat goooood! The service was amazing and FAST which was much appreciated because we were hungry! We also got to check out all the work put in to make this environment feel at home. We support this Black business and definitely will be back soon! Don't forget to order some Étouffée for the road! read more

Saw the recombination on yelp & triedomg was Soo good! Had the fried shrimp & oysters & was amazing!! Please try the Italian Cream Cake it's Heaven read more

Went there the first time today and boy was it was oh so good. Evidently from what my mom shared with us today the restaurant has expanded some. On the market side there is about ten metal picnic style tables. Their hours are a bit different than stated here on yelp. They now open at 11 AM and not 7. They are closed on the weekend to go get fresh seafood from LA according to my mother. I had the etouffee and my wife had the crawdad Po boy sub. She enjoyed hers and I loved mine. The potato salad was excellent and the bread was great at soaking up the sauce. My wife liked the etouffee sauce. It also comes w a hush puppy and red beans and rice. On the restaurant side they have more seating that is raised but we stayed on the other side for my mother's sake. Dining was casual and the owner was very nice. The market sells fresh seafood. The surroundings are a bit basic but that doesn't concern me a bit as I am at places for the food. This visit to try here was so very worth it. My parents and us really enjoyed ourselves here. read more

Had a great review so I tried it. Staff was very friendly and had samples. Ordered and portions were good sizes but the fried items were overcooked. Shrimp were battered in corn meal which I don't prefer but they were large. Overall not bad. read more

We just did a quick weekend trip from Ft. Worth to Waco and the 3 of us decided to try out this highly rated Cajun seafood restaurant and we were not disappointed. We got there around 5pm and were met immediately by the owner who offered us a tasting of their crawfish Étouffée which was really tasty. We looked over their expansive menu and ordered the 3-piece crawfish boudin (again, very tasty), a shrimp Po' Boy which was gigantic, the fried seafood special with 3 shrimp, 3 oysters and 2 catfish filets. Finally, my husband ordered the Colossal Shrimp Boil with head-on shrimp, corn and sausage. We've had a lot of boils and he said it was the absolute best one he'd ever had. I tasted one of his shrimp and it was flavored all the way through and delicious. All their food is made to order including all the breading done at the time you order. I mention this because the breading was on the edge of being too spicy for me and mentioned that to the owner and he said to let him know the next time we come and they can leave out some heat on the breading. Prices were reasonable for fresh, bountiful seafood and averaged out to around $10/appetizer and $16-$22 per entree. All in all, a wonderful dinner and I'm glad we found it. We'll be back the next time we drive through or stay in Waco for a weekend! read more

This place is a 10 out of 10 def top two in the area when it comes to seafood and since it's closer it's not number 2

We stopped here because we couldn't get in at one of our favorite restaurants due to the Baylor Family night and Baylor game. But, this was really best place we could've stumbled upon. I ate the 3 piece fried catfish meal and it comes with a hush puppy, a piece of buttered toast, and two sides! Everything about this plate was so delicious. The two sides I got was etouffe and potato salad. Wow, everything was homemade even their tartar sauce. And to top it off, we finished with their banana pudding. Best banana pudding I've ever had. So happy that we turned away at the other place so we can try new things :) read more
