It was always hard finding great Authentic New Orleans foods in Sherman/Denison with touch real here in Texas. Any other places do not compare. Having food from here made me feel like I was eating in New Orleans Louisiana or in my dad's home and reminded me of what real New Orleans & Cajun food is supposed to taste like.

Their steaks are always cooked to perfection and have the best flavor. My personal favorite is the Zydeco which is a grilled catfish fillet over crawfish étouffée and rice. It comes with their cornbread which had peppers and corn in it. So delish! They have the coolest decor and the service is always top notch. They have a second location in Eufaula on the lake I will definitely be giving that a shot this summer!

I've wanted to check out this place since I always drive by it. I ended up ordering the shrimp…read morepo'boy with a side of Cajun fries. The shrimp lacked flavor and the fries were nothing special. I was not impressed with the po'boy, but maybe, I need to try to seafood boil in a bag. This place was just okay to me. I'll have to try something else as I was not impressed.

Ever been hangry but can't figure out what to stuff in your belly? That's me tonight on a Tuesday…read more I ended up here and, honestly, I don't know that I'd go back. I got a small gumbo and catfish nuggets at 6.99 each. Even though they have a sign on the door for drink specials, apparently they didn't last more than like two months because they aren't offering that anymore. So I just asked for a water cup. 15.12 and you order at the counter and get your own drink. The water button on the soda machine sticks, so prepare for it to run for like a full 45 seconds before it magically unsticks. Gumbo came out in about ten minutes, but weirdly wasn't hot. Catfish nuggets came out about ten minutes after that (weird since they are both apps) and I asked for my soup to be reheated. I tried a nugget and it was ok, but there's like zero seasoning on them. Bland as my last tinder date people. For a place that touts New Orleans in the name, there's no creole/cajun influence here. Everything was just bland, especially the gumbo. By the way, he took it to reheat and by the time he returned it (14 min later) I needed to leave. He was nice enough to give me a lid and bag though. Service was ok, but there's like one guy and when he disappeared it was for ten minutes. I don't know if he was having to cook it or what but it made service slow. I've visited three times now and feel a three is appropriate. It's fine if you aren't looking for what the name implies.

It was miserably hot in the back seating area; there are several big screened windows with the covers rolled up but when it's 90°+ outside, a couple ceiling fans aren't going to help. They need a couple mini split units which in combination with the fans, would help a great deal. The poor waitstaff all had red faces from the heat - it was quite ridiculous for whoever is in charge to think that's acceptable - in my opinion. Other than that, everything was great - I'll just remember to come back when it's much cooler outside!

Since it was my first time, they helped me navigate the menu and recommended some of their most popular items. The patio is nice, cozy, and covered--perfect for a meal like this. The inside had a nostalgic feel that reminded me of my college cafeteria in a good way, and I actually enjoyed it. And the bread pudding--man, easily top three I've ever had. Honestly, it might even be number one. It was that good.

Service is good the employee taking my order was pleasant. Food was decent and my FISH came out hot. I chose the 2 piece fried fillet combo with fries and hush puppies. LET me breakdown the combo meal. French Fries were well seasoned and served hot. The hush puppies were delicious. They were fried perfectly. The fish was fried nicely, but lacked in seasoning and flavor. You say you are a CAJUN fish grill. I want to taste it. So the fish fell flat and the fries and hush puppies were the star of the meal. Overall a decent meal and I always enjoy a new experience and supporting smaller businesses.

As I pulled in, the very first thing I spotted was a sign: "Hot Boiled Crawfish Here." Well... ALRIGHT!!! I hadn't had any mudbugs yet this season, so it felt like fate. The service? Fantastic. I was just telling the waitress I was hoping for crawfish when the manager strolled by and said, "We've only got 2 lbs left." Without missing a beat: "Those must be mine." And wow--what a score. Perfectly spiced, nice and firm, served up with a couple of boiled new potatoes. A little bit of everything size-wise--big, small, mostly medium--but every single one was delicious. Washed it all down with a cold draft Shiner... couldn't have been better. Great food, great timing, and a vibe that's upbeat, welcoming, and just plain fun. Definitely a spot worth dropping into!

Love Bayou Jacks!…read more First of all they are located in Roanoke and easy to park and walk to the restaurant. They have a huge offering of seafood and sides. My favorite is their fried shrimp and okra. If you have been to Pappadeaux then you know the prices are pretty high for fried shrimp and know that Bayou Jacks tastes better, the batter and shrimp flavor are really good at a more reasonable price. The service is great and they offer a casual dining experience. Please give them a try and become a fan!

We ordered the boudin egg rolls, boudin sausage appetizer, alligator appetizer, and crawfish with the voodoo seasoning. Everything was really flavorful and well seasoned, and the crawfish had a great kick. The appetizers were perfect for sharing and made it easy for everyone to try a few things. They also did a nice job accommodating our larger party. Our server was friendly, attentive, and handled our table well, which isn't easy with a group that size. The only thing that stood out was the manager. He didn't greet any tables while we were there. At one point he brought a dish to our table but didn't say anything, and later spent quite a while standing by the bar on his phone. It didn't negatively impact the service we received, but it did leave us a little unsure about the management presence. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed the food. The staff we interacted with were great, but management left us wondering. We'll still come back for the crawfish though.
