I understand that you cannot afford fresh seafood to be delivered out in the desert, but you are doing it all wrong. Clearly, these people have no idea how to cook either Cajun style or frozen seafood. to start with; everything was overcooked and rubbery. I will say that the food had a good flavor, but it was not Cajun flavor. Cajun seasoning is NOT Mexican seasoning. My advice is that either you go to Louisiana and learn to cook Cajun food, especially seafood (even frozen), or change the menu. The service was very good, but don't call when they are busy because they will not talk to you. The price was fair for seafood, but since it was near inedible, I would not pay it a second time. The atmosphere was simple and pleasant without being overstated. These items are the only reason I gave 2 stars. Will not be returning. read more

Stop only as a last resort. We have been traveling back to Fort Worth, TX from Carlsbad, NM on a Sunday afternoon so dine in restaurants have been extremely limited. We have made attempts at 3 other diners but they have all been closed. (I get it, it's Sunday afternoon.) We finally got to I20 and this place was open for dine in so we stopped. We ordered 3 Cheeseburger meals and 1 kids chicken strip. Everything was made from frozen. Very bland. There is absolutely nothing fresh not even the veggies for the burgers. Now let's talk about the restaurant itself. One word --Dirty. I don't even want to think about what the kitchen looked like. As I stated before this was an absolute last resort. read more

Our food was good. My fajitas were just what I was in the mood for. The onions caramelized, the green peppers still a little bit crunchy. The chicken was well seasoned and the plate was sizzling as it should be. Accompanying the fajitas were 3 very warm flour tortillas, fresh Picoult de gallo, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. When the waitress asked if everything was okay, I said all that was lacking was some slices of avocado, and she brought them to me. Hubby ate all of his fried catfish (generous portions) only commenting that the his hushpuppies were just alright, and he wished the tarter sauce was freshly made. Be prepared to wait. Service was slow. read more

On our way back from Carlsbad, we waited until we were hangry before choosing a place to stop. This is typically a mistake, of course. In this particular case we were surprised to find a 4-star Cajun place in Big Spring, right along our return route to Fort Worth. 4 Stars in Big Spring. We are in. The building is standard small town utilitarian metal construction. Inside is notably dingy. The tables were set apart from each other for Covid friendliness. But, the servers did not wear masks. Ours kept leaning in over us to help with the menu. We had to ask her to distance, politely of course. She took it fine and remained on the opposite side of the table from there. About half the customers had masks with them, the rest didn't. We got the vibe that Covid best practices are not embraced fully here. We ordered a gumbo and Stuffed Shrimp plate to split. I had coffee to prop me up for the rest of the trip. The gumbo was watery and a bit bland in flavor. The Shrimp were large and flavorful with a Texas-style batter-fried coating the was reminiscent of good chicken fried steak. The fries were exceptional, light crisp on the outside with a subtle seasoning. The coffee was "strong with plenty of it" if you take my meaning. The entire building is in need of updating. Sometimes this adds a hole-in-the-wall charm. But for this place, it just made me want to wash my hands. The bathroom door may have been the dirtiest I've ever seen in a business besides a gross gas station somewhere. Had there been paper towels, I would have wiped it just to see how long it'd been since someone had attended to it. So, some very good food. A local establishment that likely stands out among food choices in Big Spring. But, badly needs an update to be friendly to a larger clientele. I suspect the owners are less concerned about that given the full dining room. The one thing that tempts me strongly pan the place was the lack of pandemic consciousness. But, I'm going with three stars. Just be cautious on the corona precautions if you're passing through here. read more

Stopped in here for a quick lunch on my way through town. I had the lunch shrimp and they were great with, a light Texas style batter. French fries were loaded with grease. Building was ok, inside was dingy and needs a good cleaning. Staff was friendly and prompt. Overall not a bad place and if I was giving stars on the shrimp only, it would be 5 stars. read more

I'm here again. Going to try an appetizer. 20 fried shrimp. Not bad. For the main dish. The stuffed flounder served with grilled vegetables and rice. I really enjoyed them. We're in west Texas. I'm from the coast of Texas. Surprisingly their flounder is great. I liked the cocktail sauce. Really flavorful. Service is great. Sweet Tea is a Texas staple. They don't disappoint. read more

Don't waste your money or time. I don't think I can express how awful this place is. Appetizer, calamari, took 30 minutes. Very small basket, unremarkable, no cocktail sauce. Had shrimp scampi. Shrimp was so overcooked couldn't bite through the crisp hard edges. Does shrimp have edges? No "sauce" to make it scampi. Visit at your own risk. Better yet, DON'T VISIT!!! Oh yeah, Server had zero personality and was NOT attentive. I heard Cowboys Steakhouse is the place to try! read more

Can't beat their fried pickles and fried catfish. The carrot cake was decadent and the service was outstanding. Thanks for a great meal.

The service and food were great. The lunch catfish portion was huge and the grilled chicken salad had egg, avocado, onion, cheese and tomato. We would've given 5 stars except the men's restroom was really dirty. read more

Who would've thought that you could find good Cajun seafood while driving through the desert terrain in Texas? But you totally can and it might not look like much, but they can cook up a good batch of catfish. My husband and I popped in to place a to-go order since we had our pups with us, but the inside was a pretty big space... a little dated and maybe could benefit from some lighting, but it does it's job. Our waitress was on her A-game the whole time. She brought our drinks out in to-go cups and even offered to give us refills before we left. We got an order of the fried alligator to share, my husband got the catfish, and I got the coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was huge butterflied pieces, cooked perfectly with a side of their pineapple dipping sauce. It also came with fries and a few hush puppies and I added coleslaw on to my order. I loved the coconut shrimp and sauce, the fries were salty and delish, the hush puppies were little golden nuggets of heaven. The coleslaw wasn't my favorite, but it was okay. My husband devoured the catfish so I can only assume it was amazing. The fried alligator was a great starter, simply good. Texas Cajun Cafe is priced very well. It's not fancy, but I enjoyed the food and it's a good choice if you're passing through. TCC will probably be our go-to every time we're passing through Big Spring. read more

Fried catfish was awesome and plenty to eat. I would recommend this place to anyone that might be in Big Spring any time. I definitely would go over from where I live to eat any time. Wait staff was awesome. My new place to eat within the 45 miles from Midland. read more

in my opinion, they have the best crab and shrimp boil! their shrimp is my favorite. i recommend my guest at the hotel i work at to go there

I was in this area for a work trip, and came here with a male co-worker. Thank goodness as I would have felt incredibly out of place among a sea of blue-collared men of similar age and demographic (although you can basically say that for all of Big Spring to be honest). A very, very casual cafeteria setting, this cafe is more like a diner that specializes in mostly fried food. The lunch special was very reasonably priced and I was stuffed after a bowl of gumbo, fried catfish and sides. My co-worker thought the lunch buffet was a bit pricey but you definitely can eat until bursting. The ambiance is not my favorite but I am not sure if it's fair to expect more. The service was good though. read more

Sat there for 15 minutes. I had to get my own menu and when I had the audacity to raise my hand because no one had my table, the waitress with dark brown hair was nasty. Just downright nasty. I get that you are busy but there is no excuse to be rude. The place smelled funny anyway. Zero stars. read more

We saw the sign for this place when we happened to stop at the gas station next door and decided to check it out. There were lots of Cajun offerings but all of them (unless I missed something) were breaded and deep-fried. Now, I know that is a typical preparation for Cajun food, but it isn't the only way to cook Cajun. I don't eat deep-fried, breaded food, so that meant I needed to look for something else. Surprise! I found fajitas so ordered beef fajitas (without tortillas or rice) and steamed veggies (broccoli and zucchini). The flavor of the fajitas was excellent, but the beef was tough and chewy. Cutting it into small pieces made it edible. The broccoli was tasty but the zucchini soggy and flavorless. My husband decided to go with the deep-fried, breaded catfish plate. He was disappointed, saying that the breading was greasy and very thick (though flavored nicely), and the catfish hiding inside of it was minimal. He wasn't that pleased with the sides, either, and ended up eating half my veggies. The server was helpful and very nice and the place was clean. Beer and wine are available. Wine comes in small bottles. I don't recall the label but it is a cheap one so I didn't try it. Bottom line: If you like breaded, deep-fried Cajun, you'll probably like this place a lot. read more

This is probably your best choice for some good, somewhat healthy (besides the fast food or crappy diner food) and cheap food within 20mi radius if you happen to make a road trip driving on I20. I almost went into the diner attached to the gas station just a block away, thinking I probably wouldn't like most of the things they have on the menu. Yelp came to my rescue and helped me find this place. At first I thought I went to the wrong location, drove around the whole building just to make sure. From the outside it literally looks like an abandon building, but don't let the look scare you away. Inside is pretty cozy and you'll feel welcomed right away the moment you walk in. The menu is very extensive, lot of choices to choose from. Extremely affordable for what they have to offer. I believe they have a salad bar as well, but I was in a rush to eat and get back on the road right away so didn't even bother to come over and check it out. My fish and rice with vegetables were a little greasy, but it's not uncommon, plus I was just happy not have to eat fast food so they still got a fantastic rating from me. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a rest stop and something decent to eat on your long road trip ;) read more

I had the fish and shrimp plate, the shrimp were very big and good! They have a variety of things on their menu, gumbo, burgers.

Kinda old decor. I didn't go for the sights. I came for the catfish. Was better than I expected.

Didn't like the catfish or the shrimp. Neither had any flavor. The hush puppies were doughy and raw tasting. Was just passing through so I know I won't come back. Service could have been better. I didn't even eat half of the skimpy catfish. I don't know why they have good reviews on here. Maybe they have changed owners recently. Who knows read more

The steaks were absolutely disgusting taste like tires very tough me and Friend ate here both of the steaks were not good

One of our favorite places to come when we are in town. If you get the fried shrimp make sure to ask for the pineapple sauce, it's so good and refreshing! Everything here is well seasoned & cooked! read more

There is no "hole in the wall" type of food here, that the other comments are raving about. I had the bacon avocado cheese burger. Meat was unflavored, though I think they thought the avocado and cheese would do that for them. Disappointed, we really wanted some crawfish. Only had deep fried tails. Might give it a second shot some other time. read more
