We had a very good first visit to T-Doug's Cajun Cuisine in Ragley and were glad we pulled off the highway to check the hours on the door. The parking lot was empty and it didn't look open yet, but we turned out to be the first customers of the day. Service: From the start, service set a strong tone. The hostess was friendly, welcoming, and seated us promptly, clearly proud to show off the new, more spacious location with plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. Our server, Jada (who we later learned is a manager), was excellent: sweet, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always a step ahead of our needs. She even made a fresh pot of coffee for our dessert order. If T-Doug is putting people like her in leadership, he's doing something right. Ambiance: The dining room still has that "new" feel. It's clean, well-lit, and comfortable. The décor is functional and inviting without trying too hard, which fits the place well. Food & Drink: The current menu doesn't appear to be updated on the website, but it's easy to find on their Facebook page. There's a lot to choose from, including steaks and higher-end options that would make this a good spot for a special occasion. Overall, the menu suggests broad restaurant experience rather than a one-note concept. I didn't explore the bar much, but it looked well-stocked enough to suit most tastes. We started with homemade onion rings, which were a pleasant surprise: uniform and skinny, crunchy, well-cooked, and nicely seasoned. Beverages: We had waters along with a Rum Punch and T-Doug's Lemonade. Both cocktails were light and refreshing, didn't taste like a dry mix, and were balanced just right. Enough rum and vodka to relax, not enough to make you lose your religion. Entrées: Solid all around. The fried combo dinner featured hand-battered fish and shrimp with crispy fries and hushpuppies. Everything was cooked properly and satisfying. The Cajun club came on Texas toast, quartered and stacked high on a thick wooden skewer that would come in handy if the parking lot got rough. Roast beef cold cuts, American cheese (something a little less processed might have elevated it), lettuce, tomato, crispy bacon, and turkey or chicken (not sure which one and don't remember the menu description). The bread was nicely toasted without being over-buttered, and thankfully the kitchen believes in restraint. No "swimming in mayo" here. Dessert: Beignets: bite-sized, crisp on the outside, soft inside, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, and not greasy or overly sweet. Perfect with hot black coffee served in proper mugs. Value: For the quality and quantity we received, prices felt very fair for this area. Kudos to the kitchen and chef. Having moved back to DeRidder from the Baton Rouge metro, we've decided that dining out should offer something we can't easily do at home. We both enjoy cooking, and T-Doug's clears that bar. We'll definitely be back, especially when the grill is (hopefully) running earlier in the day so we can try the steak selection. read more

T Doug's Cajun Cuisine - You'll have to look elsewhere for food pics; this bad boy kept watch over our table! He's a beaut! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Ragley, Louisiana

Been here twice. Both times they haven't had what we wanted to order. How do you run out of stuff at 6pm on a Saturday?! Wont be back.

Stopped by here midday last week and was impressed at the very nice new build! Inside had a charming and inviting feel. I ordered very simple things just to try the place out. My waitress has quick, kind, and courteous! The fried pickles were absolutely delicious. The Gumbo was ok. The shrimp Po-boy was good as well. Atmosphere - 5 stars Cleanliness - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Food taste/quality - 4 stars I'd like to know what's the signature dish at this establishment. Kind of like when you go to Darrell's in Lake Charles you already know what you're ordering. It would be cool if this place had just one amazing signature dish that people will drive out of their way just to have. read more

Went there for dinner and wanted Busch light that was in the cooler!! Was told she couldn't serve it to us because it was the owners sons personal beer!! Why do you have that here?? And why would you let a customer walk away?? You lost a couple hundred bucks for his sons beer?? Had pick up from there numerous times. Had to dig thru out salads. Because out dressing was buried in the salad. Order something else it's on the side in another container. Small portions. And just really shitty. No thank you read more

Hours are too irregular. Been there a couple times during the day and they were closed. No opinion on the food because I havent caught them open. read more

I gave them 4 stars because they use instant mashed potatoes instead of real mashed potatoes. But, the food was good. My wife had shrimp and I had a country fried steak. The server was pleasant, but didn't know what liquors were in the different drinks. It is a clean restaurant with nice decor. read more

Awesome Cajun atmosphere. Very polite and professional service. Food is off the chain. Best fist in SW Louisiana.

The food was excellent. The ambience was soothing. The service was very prompt and responsive. The table, chairs, and floor were clean. Didn't use the restrooms. We will add TDoug's to our short favorites list. Thank all for a wonderful dining experience. read more

T Doug's Cajun Cuisine - Fried shrimp poboy! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Ragley, Louisiana

10 out of 10! We have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went. We went on a Friday evening and I got the boiled shrimp which was AMAZING! It didn't taste like restaurant boiled shrimp. It tasted like home cooked boiled shrimp. (iykyk) So good. I ate a whole pound! Service was great! Definitely worth the drive!! read more
