Cajun Fish Grill Seafood in McKinney is a hidden gem that transports you straight to the heart of Louisiana with its authentic Cajun flavors. I started with the clam chowder, which was a comforting blend of creamy richness and perfectly tender clams. It was hearty without being too heavy, and seasoned just right, making each spoonful more indulgent than the last. Next, I had the Jambalaya with shrimp, sausage, and chicken, and it was nothing short of perfection. The rice was cooked to a fluffy, tender texture, absorbing all the robust spices. The shrimp were succulent, the sausage had a smoky heat, and the chicken was incredibly juicy, creating a symphony of flavors that was distinctly Cajun. The balance of spice was spot on--not too overpowering, but with enough kick to keep you coming back for more. The Shrimp Po' Boy was a standout, with crispy fried shrimp tucked into soft, fresh bread, dressed with a light touch of mayo and crisp lettuce. Each bite was the perfect combination of crunch and tenderness, with the shrimp bursting with flavor and freshness. From start to finish, the meal felt like an authentic taste of Cajun country. Cajun Fish Grill Seafood nails the essence of traditional Cajun cooking, with every dish showcasing bold flavors and careful attention to detail. Whether you're a seafood lover or just a fan of genuine, down-home cooking, this is a must-visit spot in McKinney! Also doesn't stink to get huge scooner of premium beer for not a lot of $$$. Super friendly service! Drop in and pay them a visit! 2960 Eldorado Pkwy Ste 5 McKinney, TX 75070 United States read more

Food: Best fried catfish I've EVER had!! Fried catfish is usually go my to when I want something fried at a cajun place and it did not disappoint! Meal came with 2 small hush puppies, two sauces (tarter and i'm assuming cocktail), and a side (comes with fries but you can sub it for any other side, I got beans and rice). Best fried catfish I've ever had!! Very juicy, fresh, thick (and I don't mean dense, just wasn't a thin piece). PLUS: you can get the catfish regular or spicy! I ordered spicy and it wasn't spicy in my opinion but was still super tasty. Beans and rice were really good as well. Hush puppies were nice, and the two sauces were yummy! I am not a huge tarter or cocktail sauce person in general but i used up both of them! I added hot sauce to both sauces and it was really good! Service: Family owned restaurant!! We went in about an hour before closing and they were very nice and served us. Food came out quickly and FRESH and everyone there was so kind! Ambiance: Veery clean and taken care of. Have a couple TVs to watch games and what not. Decor was simple but cute! Very on theme. Have outdoor seating as well. 100% recommend! read more

I have been meaning to go try this place for several months now. The spot has been several restaurants so I was not expecting this place to literally be a hidden gem. Ordered the blackened catfish tricky fish and a bowl of shrimp gumbo to go. The food was amazing and my Mom is Cajun! Don't go there for the decor go for the amazing food! I can't wait to try some of the other dishes. read more

Simple spot, but being a cajun I had to try it out. And I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. The chicken and the fried fish was very good.

Food is good! Can you believe zucchini can be this flavorful?! Came in on the Eve of Thanksgiving and left with a grateful heart for this eatery. Guys were super nice for ordering and serving, couldn't ask for more. read more

I've been there several times. Mostly a good experience. However, this time I ordered the bread pudding for dessert. I was not served bread pudding. The gave me some kind of cheap excuse for banana pudding. It tasted very artificial. Very disappointing. I suggest they take bread pudding off the menu, rather than serving some cheap, artificial tasting substitute. read more

I had super high hopes for Cajun fish grill since I saw a lot of hype on a Facebook group. The catfish was okay, it had a fishy taste to it which is not my thing. My boyfriend had a shrimp po-boy which he enjoyed but again was reaaally fishy in taste. My brother said it was the "fishiest-tasting" shrimp he had ever had. I really liked the hush puppies! Unfortunately won't be back here but glad I gave it a try. read more

I had high hopes for this place but to be honest it didn't blow me away. The interior is rather austere and lacking character, and the floor needed sweeping. Rather than table service, you order at a counter like a fast food joint. As a plus, the counter staff were pleasant. Wanting to see how "Cajun" this place was, I ordered the few Cajun staples on the menu - gumbo, jambalaya, and red beans & rice. To the plus, the jambalaya and gumbo had plenty of shrimp and sausage. But the red beans and the jambalaya were a little bland, and the gumbo was a little thicker than most places. My wife ordered a catfish basket and a side of okra, and she rated both as just "meh". They also lose a point for only offering Pepsi products. I tried the sweet tea, and it had kind of an "off" taste. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but I don't think we'll be back. read more

Wow! Just left a nice "hole-in-the-wall"restaurant in McKinney serving the best crawfish étouffée I've had in a long time! The gravy was light, ingredients were fresh, and spiced just right. Wife had the 'Cajun Tricky Fish', blackened catfish with white rice, topped with crawfish étouffée. And oh boy! Our appetizer was 'Wild Hog Jalapeño Poppers', stuffed jalapeño peppers with cheese, shrimp, and wrapped in bacon. I spoke with the owner, Miguel Mercado, who told me he'd only been open for 18 months. They're located at El Dorado and Hardin, behind Sonic and Prosperity Bank. It's worth checking out, a laidback atmosphere with counter ordering, with inside/outside seating. if you like good Cajun food at decent prices, I highly recommend this business! read more

I tried this place last night, and the food was great. I had the fried shrimp, with a side of beans and rice. My son had the shrimp Po Boy. Everything was cooked well. My fried shrimp were lightly battered and cooked perfectly. My son has worked as a cook. He commented about the hushpuppies since many places serve frozen ones. The decorations are simple. The staff is friendly! read more

Price is out of control. Family of 4 will be 100+... it's ridiculous. This restaurant has been 3 or 4 different restaurants now... clearly paid too much for rent and have to keep prices up. I'm not wrong. I would update your prices on yelp, I went to your website and you have reduced your pricing compared to what Yelp is showing. That is appreciated and they are better. However, kids meal with 3 shrimp is comical. What, after I leave take them to McDonalds? 3 shrimp!!! read more

After a long day, my husband decided that grabbing dinner would be in our best interest rather than facing the kitchen. We decided to give Cajun Fish Grill another go and I can say that I was very happy we did! The restaurant is clean, the service was great and the food was so good that I couldn't believe we weren't in Louisiana! The seasonings were spot-on, the hush puppies were perfect and all the seafood had a wonderful texture. I implore you to try the Cajun Fish Grill! read more

The food is cooked perfectly, quality fresh & seasoned seafood, never disappointed, service is always top tier

This place kills it each and every time. The shrimp gumbo takes me to my happy place. The fried cod is outstanding and the hush puppies (drizzle a little honey on them) are amazing. Staff is friendly and the owners are awesome people focused on the customer experience. Love it! read more

Good food, quick service and portions were good enough to fill everyone at the dinner time. Definitely we will be back!

Ordered To Go! Gumbo, fish, shrimp and okra! Gumbo roux was definitely burnt! Hands down. Fish falling apart! Shrimp good! Okra is hard!! I spent $25 but nothing like wasting a bunch of calories for nothing. Disappointed read more

This is maybe the best kept secret in McKinney. If you like Cajun food, THIS IS THE PLACE! They have all the traditional Cajun dishes you'd want (except Boudin ). All expertly prepared. The "Wild Hog Poppers" appetizer is amazing and addictive. I like the fried oyster platter with fried okra and Gumbo. My wife likes the beans and rice. We are repeat customers and have never been disappointed. read more

Not the best of service. If you plan on complaining about the food you can expect to get negative feedback from the man at the front who isn't very friendly. I would recommend going somewhere else to be honest. read more

Absolutely amazing food. Everything we ordered tasted delicious. BEST red beans and rice we've ever eaten. We also ordered crab, catfish, oysters, cajun pasta Alfredo, shrimp, okra, and potatoes. Seriously worth every penny. Will definitely be back! read more

Fast service. Authentic menu served in a clean environment and excellent selection of Cajun favorites.

All it took was for me to see Cajun and now open to stop by. I am so happy I did. I ordered my meal for take out. Forgive me for being too excited to try everything that I didn't get a pic of the red beans and rice. Seafood was cooked to Perfection. It wasn't over cooked and dried out. Y'all my shrimp were deveined properly. The restaurant was clean and had lots of seating. Great, fast service. I'll definitely be back to try other menu items. read more

Quick service, food had good seasoning,most of the staff were nice. They provide gloves for boils but no bibs. Unsweetened tea was good. Not much of a vibe, seating doesn't seem to be right. Snow crab was a little dry. Diffidently room for improvement, but was satisfied. read more

The good - Great food first and foremost. Had the jalapeño poppers, shrimp gumbo, jambalaya, and fried catfish. All very good. Good beer selection The not so good - Tables are pretty poorly finished and wobbly. Off brand ketchup despite higher end prices felt "off". Give it a try read more

Surprisingly very good. I am always hesitate with places they throw around the word "Cajun" because they typically disappoint. My fried catfish here was perfectly seasoned and crispy. My side of coleslaw was seasoned and yummy. Service was fast and food was served hot. Added a margarita for the fun of it (could have been better). PrixeYall show this place some love don't will survive. McKinney needs more places like this. Cute place plant of seating for larger groups and TVs for game watching. read more

The food was awesome! We tried the shrimp gumbo, Cajun pasta, garlic bread, corn on the cob, and the banana pudding. The gumbo was great, but the broth kind of tastes like black beans, I liked it but it may not be the gumbo you're thinking of. The Cajun pasta was amazing and flavorful, not too spicy. The garlic bread was seasoned and toasted well, but the banana pudding was flavorless in my opinion, the cookies on it were stale. Over all it was exceptionally delicious and good for the price. read more

Had the shrimp jambalaya. Perfect combination of shrimp, andouille, chicken and served over rice. LARGE plate with two large slices of very fresh toasted bread. Of course I had to sample a bowl of red beans and rice, I could have made that my meal. And had to sample the onion rings.... Well I got about 3 before everyone joined in and they were gone. My daughter got the fish and chips. The fish had just the right amount of beer batter on a thick cut of very fresh cod. My wife got the fried shrimp, 6 of them, LARGE butterflied gulf shrimp and she could not finish the plate. Miguel Mercado, the owner, was a very gracious host, serving us himself. Will definitely be back!! read more

Although the interior may not seem extremely ornate, it's the food that matters, and man, do they cook something behind the counter! Service is very fast and organized, with friendly workers and cooks. The food absolutely hits the spot, and there's huge variety of Cajun food on the menu. Definitely would recommend - 9/10 read more

The food is awesome. Most do take out so there were only two other people sitting down to eat when we went. Don't let that fool you. Lots of people came for pick up while we were there and they were busy! Can't wait to go again! read more

I was pretty disappointed in this place. I tried the catfish, fries, okra, and gumbo. Nothing was very satisfying. The fries tasted reheated, and the fish seasoning was very unbalanced - the most prominent flavor was black pepper and the rest was pretty bland. The only thing I finished the okra bcus it was basic and hot. The food came quickly and hot, but otherwise, nothing made me want to return. read more

originally was just looking for place that served good catfish. this place didn't disappoint, at all. everything was cooked perfectly and came with the extra condiments i asked for. i ordered off of grubhub but the delivery was quick and great on communication. couldn't be happier to have found a place that makes delicious dishes!! read more

Tried the following with the wife: Shrimp gumbo, crawfish chowder and both were meaty and spicy. Excellent. Jambalaya was terrific. Fried catfish, oh my. Can't wait to go back and try some more menu items. read more

I got the grilled red fish, red potatoes and zucchini. The zucchini was the best thing. Everything else Lacked a lot of flavor. Didn't really look like the pix online. The fish was not fresh at all and was very hard to pull apart. Very tough like steak. read more

I have been here twice. Both times were very good. Food was hot, freshly made and delicious . Will be back

Friendly owners, delicious food. The fried oysters were large and sweet with a perfect cornmeal batter, light and crispy. And the red beans and rice were great. Highly recommend. read more

Was very excited to try this place out. Being a native New Orleanian, it's hard finding a place that tastes like home in DFW. I saw the pictures and had high hopes, but unfortunately caught a bad night because judging by the fried food, the oil needs to be changed badly... this looks nothing like the other pictures on your reviews. It's just gross & the taste isn't great. Please change the oil more frequently, simple fix! I'll try again later... read more
