Very cool restaurant and bar! Great atmosphere. The food is literally the best I've had in Texas for Cajun food! Our waitress and the bar tender were amazing! We will definitely be coming back!!! They also have two separate outside spaces with an outdoor stage, games!

I was staying near Waco for a few days, but the area I was in had very limited choices for food. So, I looked up some nearby restaurants in Waco, and found Cajun Craft. It was worth the drive in from where I was staying. From the outside, it doesn't look like much: small parking lot, rusted roof, etc. However, I have found that often conceals some of the best places. An immediate friendly greeting was offered at the door and I was surprised by the quaint setting. There were only a few tables near the bar, but there was a covered patio attached and even more seating outside. The menu offered most of the traditional Cajun dishes at a modest price, but I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the Atchafalaya Catfish, a catfish filet over a bed of rice smothered in crawfish Étouffée. It was amazing. The Étouffée was rich and hearty, with the perfect spice level, maybe the best I have had west of Baton Rouge. The catfish was crisp and golden, giving a great balance to the creamy Étouffée. If you are ever in the Waco area and have a craving for some authentic Cajun cuisine, you must give Cajun Crafts a visit.

What restaurants don't seem to understand is that if you are going to charge more then the bar has to be raised in every sense. Now the food I will say it was seasoned really well. The shrimp was not overcooked which is a plus and something that is a tell anywhere there is seafood. However, this place needs a major hosedown, its really dirty. I know sometimes tables are sticky- they were sticky, seats are sticky- they were menus on the table were greasy. That is the secont thing I noticed. The second thing I noticed is we were not greeted at the host counter for a while. No one was standing there or quickly came to us. I get it sometimes places are severely understaffed but a courteous apology or even a simple explanation would've been decent. Then we were seated behind a couple that were on a business call full blast even though there were many other empty booths and tables. Then our sever took forever to come take our drink orders and then forgot to bring out one of the drinks. Then the food comes out. It looks good. I got to grab my silverware and it was filthy. I didn't want to complain so my husband was about to hand me his when a bug may a "c" came out of his silverware and ran under the table. This really ruined how I felt about the place and it was unfortunate because the food tasted good. Unfortunately, three out of four us fell ill that night. Not great will not return.

Ok so I'm obsessed!! Since they starting selling crawfish, I'm there like almost twice a week. They…read morehave this crawfish special where you 5lbs of crawfish, 2 smoked sausage links , 2 corns and few potatoes halves all for $35. I've gone places where I've paid more than $35 for just 2lbs without all the extras. The business owner is from New Orleans so you have to know that for the whole shop decorated with a Mardi Gras theme with a little of the NFL team saints sprinkled in there . Very festive. a . I've only got to cross paths with the owner a couple of times , yet each time she's always welcoming and friendly. With a great spirit about her. It's a small spot , but they have a couple of tables /booths for anyone who's waiting to pick up an order or choose to dine in. It's a Daiquiri shop, so far it's the best one I've been too from hospitality, drinks , food and prices . They also have a couple of other yummy goodies like kool-Aid pickles, and pickled pig lips which pairs amazingly with some original lays chips or ruffles. Now back to this crawfish that I'm addicted to. It's Nola style , which means it's not buried in a heavy gravy like sauce . They're seasoned to perfection. They can also be served in a garlic butter sauce that is to die for , seriously. If there were anything I could say that i noticed , depending on the day or time of day that you come , the food is cooked a little differently. Nothing major , but I can definitely tell it's not the same person cooking them the many different times I've gone. I also don't care too much for only getting 2-3 small portion cups of butter for 5 lbs of crawfish. Not a deal breaker , I'm still going to go there regularly. Probably just going to have to start paying extra for the butter sauces in which I don't mind at all. Also got some crawfish and shrimp for friend who is from Louisiana. She always tells me that I have never had any good crawfish until I've been to Louisiana. I keep bringing her crawfish from different spots trying to get her perspective and she's never pleased / impressed. Only this last time I brought her some shrimp and crawfish from here and she said that they were amazing and she even ate some cold she said that's how good they were .

The one time that I went to this establishment the food and service was Excellent the egg roll…read moreturnip greens and mac egg rolls were just Awesome to say the least. However it's so sad to see that the business is no longer in service. I drove from Waco to meet up with my son from Ft. Worth to dine there to find out that the business no longer existed and the phone number (469)550-2013 was no longer in service. Sorry Waxahachie For the loss a a nice establishment..... Wes Wilson
