Waiting area by entrance
Tony A.

Stopped by for a quick carry-out when I was in the area. Clean, friendly staff. Byrd greeted me and was awesome. She helped me with my questions on the menu and selections. Ordered their famed Cajun shrimp basket. Got the 20 piece for $50. Delicious l! I didn't get a chance to check out the bar and dining area but plan on coming back someday for a sit-down meal.

Drinks
Shelette S.

I was torn with the rating for this place. We arrived at 7:18 pm on Saturday. The server finally came to our table at 7:43. We placed our drink and food order at the same time. Drinks came about 5 mins later. We ordered two combos (fish and wings and fish and shrimp). We didn't see our server again for about 40 mins. While we were waiting we watched a couple of the employees get on the dance floor dancing and popping their fans, which they later tried to sell to the patrons. Our sever finally came back at 8:35 with the wrong order. When we told her it wasn't what we ordered, she challenged us like we wrong. Five mins later a different server came back with one combo then quickly disappeared. No words said; no apologies, no acknowledgement, nothing. Our original server kept walking by very briskly several times avoiding eye contact. It was too loud to call her name so we had to wait until she looked our way. It took another 10 mins to get her attention to tell her we were still missing a meal. She disappeared and came back about 4 mins later with the other combo. We asked for to go boxes because we were just done. Again, no apologies or anything. Never asked if we wanted anything else. She was quick to give us our bill, however. We paid but didn't leave immediately because there was a live band that was very good. We paid about $100 for the food and drinks. The food was actually good although it was incredibly late and not hot. If we come back, we'll eat somewhere else and only come for the entertainment. I don't know if this is a one off but I don't know if I want to try again.

I ordered 6pc basket on 3/24. It looks absolutely inedible,dry and burned. You should be embarrassed selling food like this. You looked at that burnt chicken and still decided to sell it. I've been here many times but never again. You lose base when take shortcuts.

Fully Loaded Cajun Tater Bowls with 1 Meat
Charm J.

I just so happened to find this place when doing a search for restaurants. The atmosphere was a refreshing surprise. From the moment we entered, we were greeted and seated. Our waitress was phenomenal! She was attentive and really took care of us. Our food came out hot and was seasoned very well. I had a shrimp tater bowl and my husband had the catfish/shrimp/wing combo. When I say that we tore that food up. The best part of our dinner was DJ RC was EVERYTHING. It turned into live music with YG and Ms Coffie. We will definitely comeback

Corn fritters
Kimari C.

Waitress suggested the hash as her favorite so that's what we got! I smashed it so quick I didn't even get a picture though. I came here on a Tuesday night and the dance floor was popping! Beautiful to see my people dancing and enjoying themselves. Only reason I'm missing a star is because my peach daiquiri was weak! I loved the corn fritters and fried pickles though! My man pointed out that everything is fried on the menu but I saw some baked options!

Michelle D.

We absolutely loved this place from the moment we walked in. We received a very warm reception when we walked in. Our drink order was taken within 5 minutes of us being there. Our hostess was extremely friendly & took our order as soon as we were ready. The food order came out much sooner than we expected & everything was delicious!!!! I loved the catfish & shrimp! They had a great crunchy batter & the inside was cooked perfectly! Also, the fish was real catfish & not swai! Loved the seasoning! The fries were good & the chicken wings & were typical. We loved the decor & the music gave a wonderful vibe! My hubby liked everything & cleaned his plate of fish & shrimp. We will definitely be back!!! Our hostess also said that each night is a different theme. Can't wait to go to some of those nights. As we left, we were greeted the same as when we came in. So again, we will definitely be back! Thanks Thibodeaux's for your hospitality & great food!!!

I had come here to meet up with some work friends to celebrate January birthdays. I had a shrimp po boy. It was the delicious. It came with a side of fries that were perfectly seasoned. The service was good and the staff are very friendly. The ambiance is a bar with loud music, yet a fun vibe.

Strawberry Cake
Tee J.

I went here around 2p since a lot of reviews mentioned the wait time. I figured that time of day would be safe. I ordered takeout online and the food was ready when I arrived. No wait time and no crowd. I'm sure it's different at night especially since they have live music. I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo along with peach cobbler. It was not bad but not worth me driving to Duncanville. I was told there was no cobbler, so I settled for the strawberry cake. It was meh. I may go back, however and try their burger since I hear they taste homemade.

Shrimp basket
Ronnie B.

We arrived right when they opened, so the restaurant was semi empty, minus one other table. Chill vibe, nice atmosphere, clean establishment, friendly staff & delish food. We ordered a 6 pc shrimp basket and added one catfish filet, a shot of tequila and L.I.I.T. Babii, let me say that Long Island Ice Tea was KAYNE WEST STRONG ‍ One had me feeling right. Anyone who drinks more than two is a good one. In the words of T-Pain, "I like the BARRRTTtender!!!" Lol... seriously, we definitely enjoyed our experience. Our waitress was so polite & and accommodating, to say the least. We will definitely be back, Yelpers, y'all should join us. P.S. There's a D.J. section & small dance floor

The food is good but the service is questionable. The biggest complaint is that the food too salty.

Let me first start by saying that I found their restaurant on yelp last October and they were in…read morethe process of opening but I'm sure with covid-19, this probably slowed the process of them opening. Last week, I saw that they were having their grand opening today so I was excited to come out and give them a try. There was about a dozen or so people in line prior to their opening. When I walked inside the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was the Blues music in the background. The guy in front of me gave us all a free concert because he knew every song. LOL They have a walk up counter for online orders or you can go to your right for take out. They are not open for dine in yet so please keep that in mind. Also, masks have to be worn by customers so don't forget yours at home or the car. Now onto the food, I ordered a fried pork chop dinner which comes with two pork chops, mac and cheese, green beans and cornbread. For anyone that does not like cornbread, you also have the choice of a dinner roll. All dinners come with your choice of two sides. I thought that was it for me until I saw the pound cake so you know I had to grab a slice. I paid for my food and then left. I love that they cook their green beans with small chunks of potatoes and pieces of bacon. The mac and cheese looks nothing like the picture advertised. It's not baked mac and cheese at all. Maybe they are trying to save on the cost but when I think of macaroni and cheese, I think of real shredded cheese baked over cheesy macaroni. The cornbread is ok but smaller than your average cornbread muffin. Now onto the cake. Oh my goodness. This is the best slice of pound cake that I have had in Dallas. The cake is very moist and delicious. I have tried plenty of pound cakes and most places are dry with no flavor. I believe they are going to have different menu items everyday. They have just about every type of meat you can think of, Fried Catfish, Pork Steak with gravy, Pork Ribs, Fried Pork Chops, Spaghetti. UPDATE- I ate half of my pork chop and the rest of my meal. The next day, I was going to eat the rest of my pork chops but visually I didn't want it. I tossed the rest in the trash. I don't know if it's the quality of meat that they used but I seen black spots throughout the meat. I didn't really pay attention to how much my meal cost but when I checked my receipt, I paid $14.00 for my meal and $4.00 for the cake. This is very expensive for the portions they offer but I tried to overlook it since this is their grand opening. There are other soulfood restaurants in the area that offer huge portions for 2-3 days and everything is made from scratch. Hopefully, they will take this into consideration and make changes to their pricing and make all items from scratch. FYI- Check before you come if you are looking for a specific menu item. I will probably come back if I am in the area and have a taste for a slice of pound cake but I will pass on the food. They are about a 45 minute trip. Customer service is excellent.

Where the soul of Louisiana meets the heart of Texas!…read more Such a great find! Worth the drive! We came across The Pelican House while staying at a hotel in the area. We're not from Duncanville--we traveled in for sports--and were looking for somewhere good to eat. After seeing all the great reviews, we decided to give it a try, and I'm SO glad we did! We walked in with a party of 7 and were seated right away with no wait. Our server, Lou, took care of us all night and was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, and he made the whole experience even better. And the FOOD. We started with the fried alligator appetizer, which was such a fun thing to try and was delicious. For our meals, we had the blackened shrimp & rice, chicken and waffles, and fried shrimp, and everyone at the table was raving about their food. We finished everything off with the beignets, because obviously we had to. We all left completely stuffed, happy, and already talking about coming back. It's not exactly a quick drive for us, but we would absolutely make the trip back to The Pelican House. Great food, great service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the area, put this place on your list!

I ordered through Uber Eats…read more The fish and shrimp were good, but overall the meal was disappointing. The gumbo was too salty and did not smell fresh. The chips were packaged underneath the hot fish, which made them soggy, so they should have been packaged separately. I asked for coctail and tartar and got a minimal amount of a coctail sauslce and some other sauce at was yellow. We didnt bother trying it. The Cajun rolls also were not spicy at all and lacked the flavor I expected. While the fish and shrimp were enjoyable, the other dishes took away from the overall experience.

We also ordered the Lemon Pepper Steppa Wings, Classic Pepperoni pizza, and All the Smoke Pizza. The Lemon Pepper Steppa Wings were 7/10 good seasoning I like more of a citrus flavor on my lemon pepper wings but they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Classic pepperoni pizza was 8/10 cooked well and the crust was butter and good. I enjoyed the All the Smoke Pizza, we subbed the regular crust for Cauliflower crust which was a great decision. The pizza was good I give it 9/10 the flavor of the bbq with the cheese and veggies paired with that delicious cauliflower crust was great. It would've been 10/10 if it had more bbq sauce and if I would've dined in and not ordered online. I can only imagine the expletive would've been better if I got it fresh to table.

They had a flavor unlike anything I've ever tasted. The owner explained that the sauce is made using the juice from collard greens along with his own special blend. It was absolutely delicious and something I would order again without hesitation. The owner was incredibly welcoming. He took the time to explain the entire menu, answered all of our questions, and even let us know that the venue is available to rent for events. There was plenty of seating, making it a comfortable place to relax while we waited. The pizzas came out hot and fresh after about a 20-minute wait. Every topping tasted fresh and the flavor combinations were unique and well balanced. You can tell everything is made with care.If you're looking for something different with bold flavors and excellent customer service, Soul Circles is definitely worth a visit.

Customer service needs room for improvement . Body language, communication both were sub par. Facial expression and the way I got handed the food was received with an attitude . Like I'm the one waiting and paying for the food. Almost felt like they were projecting their feelings towards me. I ordered a burger with side of fries, 10 piece wing(Cajun/lemon pepper). Fries tasted old and dry. Wings were ok. I just feel like I've had better. Burger was more bread than meat. I like the kool aid, sweet but not crazy sweet . For $28 i expected much more . An underwhelming experience. The pros fit this place would be seating, lots of seating, local memorabilia. Cons: food and customer service.
