I've never been and wasn't hungry, but I agreed to meet him and my niece. After dodging huge potholes in the parking lot (the entire parking lot was a wreck) and parking I walked in with my drink from McDonald's. A large man immediately grabbed menus and said "no outside drinks allowed!" He was quite rude about it and said "it's written on the door. Just telling you the rules" fair enough... I pushed the drink cup out of my reach at that point. Not a great first impression for my first time there. I was planning on ordering an appetizer or something to snack on while I was there, but I quickly changed my mind after that first interaction. The dining room looked like a hodge podge of beaten up old tables and chairs, scuffed up flooring, and a tacky home made tshirts over in the corner with a window air conditioner hanging out the wall. If you're looking for a clean, well kept establishment, keep looking. The waitresses asked two or three times if we knew what we wanted after being told that we needed a few minutes. Looking at the menu, I see WHY no outside drinks are allowed. $3.00 for a single canned drink and for each refill. I guess their "family tradition" is to price gouge? Peeking back in the kitchen made me glad I didn't order anything and worried for my brother. There were several people walking around and carrying on without any gloves in what looked like a "well used" kitchen. Not to mention a couple warming dishes/crock pots from Walmart keeping the lunch specials warm. My brother said his food was fine, but an omelet , an 11.00 lunch special (niece), water, and iced tea came out to over 30.00! A printed sign in the wall also alerted patrons "to go cups $1.00 NO EXCEPTIONS!" I'm just confused between all of the crosses and "Jesus saves" plastered all over the menu and walls why these folks are as rude as they are. I love little hole-in-the wall restaurants, especially with a little small town charm, but I definitely won't consider this place the next time I'm back in town. I completely understand and respect the business' rules, but there's a respectful way of delivering a message. This place could be good with a little more effort and a bit less bad attitude. The building looks incredibly rundown and if you're not careful pulling in/out of the parking lot you're likely to end up with damage to your vehicle.

We arrived with the Sunday lunch crowd, so there was a line out the door. They know what they're doing here though as the staff moved the line along quickly and effeciently, even taking you to your table so you don't have to walk around looking for one. Super friendly staff that checked on us often and kept our used plates cleared as soon as we slid it to the side. The food... there's fried catfish, chicken, okra - actually I'm not going to even try to list everything that was available! There's a Mexican section too. I picked up a whole jalapeno from that section that set my mouth on fire. Besides the jalapeno, I personally had the fried catfish, okra, green beans, fried shrimp, and black eyed peas (which I smashed so they wouldn't roll off my plate). That was the first course. Returned once more for more gut busting deliciousness. Hubby enjoyed the fried chicken. It was crispy, hot, and juicy inside. I wish we had this place where we live. We'd be here all the time! Highly recommend this place!

If I lived in the area I would likely be calling the Happy Cajun my second home. The bar is full of locals. It was a Saturday night when we stopped in and every Saturday is karaoke night. Steve H and I quickly made friends with the guy running the karaoke - he was awesome and did a great job! I drank some gin and tonics and had a couple of shots and enjoyed the atmosphere. The shots were a little small, so not sure what was up with that. I assumed it had something to do with the dry county and how you have to have a membership to drink. This is the kind of place where people are friendly and everyone is welcome it seemed. I saw all walks of life in the bar, which is always a good thing. The bartenders were great! There were pool tables and people having a great time all around. I could tell the people singing karaoke get lots of practice and likely sing the same songs over and over, but that is another reason why this bar was so awesome. It almost felt like going back in time a bit here too. The bar is a little divey and kind of a whole in the wall place, but this all adds to the persona of the bar. If you are camping down the road at Martin Dies State Park or just need a place to get away, have a couple of drinks and meet some nice people then stop in at the Happy Cajun because this place was bad-ass and a diamond in the rough!
