Favorite place to eat at when we're in Marshall. If you like Cajun, this a a great place to stop. Only problem today was that hubby's food was a little "not hot enough" but, my grilled shrimp salad was excellent. Didn't say anything about the temperature this time. They are very attentive with excellent customer service. read more

Good red beans and rice! Killer po boys. Only negative...boudin balls are kinda like dry hockey pucks. Overall good experience.

Awesome food and service. Everything I've tried on the menu has been very good but a little too spicy for my wife

The etouffe and boudin balls were amazing! Also tried the fried gator and have nothing bad to say.

Local associates told me about this place. Order up front, they bring the food to the table. Large portions, great flavor, exceptional prices. I'll go back. read more

We were passing through Marshall on a road trip home and we found this place on Yelp. Boy am I glad we did! Great kid-friendly atmosphere with interesting Texas/ Louisiana Bayou decor. I had the Breaux Bridge Classic & my husband had the alligator Po' boy (get the Parmesan fries!). Can't go wrong with either one. **My kids (7 and 5) liked this place too: This restaurant was magnificent! I had Mac-n-cheese & oranges and it was so good that I ate all of it! The Oreo ice cream dessert was so good and refreshing on a hot day. This restaurant was the best I've ever gone to and it was so delicious that I finished all of my burger & oranges. You need to come here. read more

I'm not even a burger person and I enjoy this place. The service is excellent. The food is great. I highly recommend it.

The new location near our house in Hallville recently opened. We ordered pick up last night to try them out. We couldn't be happier with our meals. My husband got Breaux Bridge It was 3 pieces of fried catfish with craw fish ettoufee and side of loaded mp , I have 6 piece fried shrimp with side of dirty rice. Wow it was so good. Their menu online wasn't everything the serve. They have an extensive menu. We will be eating there more often for sure. Friendly staff and very nice atmosphere.! I would highly recommend to all of our little town to give them a try. You will not regret it !! read more

The food is great !!! The people are very nice and helpful. They have a very large menu. Anyone should be able to find whatever they want. The desserts are Great and you will need a to go box. read more

Love love this place! Wonderful flavors and great service! My mouth starts watering in the parking lot! Highly recommend the shrimp and crawfish pasta. Love the Boudin Balls and the Breaux Bridge is top notch! read more

We had the fried seafood platter. The catfish, shrimp and craw-fish tails were EXCELLENT. The oysters on the platter were awful. Neat surroundings in the restaurant, however they could have been cleaner... restroom toilet was gross, mosaic tile table tops had stuff in the cracks between the tiles and the wooden paper towel and condiment holders were dusty. Overall I would give them a 2. read more

Very popular with the locals. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights. This is one of those places where you stand in line to order and your food is delivered to your table. That's ok but I prefer that waitstaff take care of my every need. Anyway, the seafood gumbo is excellent. I prefer a darker roux, but still very good. FYI it does have okra in it and I know some people don't like the okra. We also had fried boudain balls and fried crawfish pies. Yum! The crawfish pie is HOT! I recommend this place for the good food. read more

Cajun Tex - Gonna try the gumbo - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Marshall, Texas

Mehhhh. Food sucks. They must use the same grease for everything, french fries taste like fish.

my family and I passed through marshall to get out tire fixed after we had a blow out on our way to Arkansas. so while the car was in the shop we ate here! Everyone was SO NICE, WE LOVED IT! THE FOOD OOOOOOOMMMMGG!!!! From now on, this will def be the stop we make while passing through marshall. you guys should open a Cajun Tex in Houston, TX. read more

My husband and two toddlers came in from out of town to look at Christmas lights and were told this is the best place in town, we came in and ordered our food after 40 minutes and asked two different times about our order and never getting answer we finally left with out having any food, worst experience we have ever had read more

Always friendly staff and we love their catfish. It's mostly fried food but it's good when you're looking for loads of fried food.

As a Louisiana native, I'm usually skeptical when I see the word Cajun outside of Louisiana. I was pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff, good service, colorful atmosphere. New Orleans patio vibe. We had the Seafood platter and shrimp pasta. The crawfish were a little rubbery, but the fried oysters were seasoned well, juicy & flavorful, the catfish filets were fried hard like we like them with a good batter. Fried shrimp was good as well. The shrimp pasta Alfredo sauce was a little thinner than we usually like. read more

Ordered shrimp and crab cake pasta. Food was cold and had crawfish instead of crab cake. Sent it back and it came back in same plate with crawfish still in it and COLDER. On a positive note the crab cake they added was hot read more

Quaint atmosphere. Gumbo needs help. Shrimp and grits was good but had msg in it. Really like the blueberry bread pudding. Like the condiments table but having to get tongs from a server is a contradiction because they have to go cup lids in a bucket, and serve yourself drinks. I will try them again. read more

Excellent food! Super casual atmosphere with friendly staff. The crawfish potato skins were incredible. The sauce paired well with the crawfish. I also had a po' boy which I was not a huge fan of because it was sort of flavorless. The portion sizes were giant, which means you are getting great bang for your buck. The garlic fries were good and my dad enjoyed the gumbo. I'd go back for the low key atmosphere and quick service. read more

Of course I came for the .65¢ wings(Tuesdays)! I got the Wichita falls hot flavor and they were different but good. Not too spicy. I was really upset with the garlic fries because I hyped them up in my head and all it was, was garlic butter and a pinch of Parmesan... maybe. It took a little longer then they mentioned but I'll wait for fresh food. The only reason this got 4 starts is because I truly see the potential the execution just isn't 100%. I did get to try the fried pickles on my first visit and they were good just a little too much pickle for the crust. Over all not bad. This will probably be a Tuesday go to for me. read more

We found Cajun Tex as we were on a road trip and grew hungry near Marshall The food was tasty and bountiful. My husband had the Breau Bridge (which he's told EVERYONE about!) and I had the small catfish plate with delicious homemade mash potatoes and mediocre cole slaw. The staff were young, engaging and very friendly - so refreshing in this day and age! We made it a point to say 'hi' to the chef and thank him for an enjoyable quality meal! read more

The food is good and the menu is well rounded. Staff is very caring. Always had good service no matter how busy they get.

It's just okay. Kind of bland. They have an interesting menu but everything just missed the mark. Fried pickle slices are thick cut, so they are all mushy and gooey in the middle. Deep fried rib eye was just okay, no flavor, just fried. Fried oyster po-boy (usually my favorite po-boy) was pretty bland, and I had to go back to the counter to ask for some coleslaw after I started eating it, but it was bland and really greasy. The bread was also very greasy so it needed some coleslaw or pickles or something to cut the grease. The wings are pretty good, but standard wings as any other place. Service was good, I liked the girls behind the counter, very sweet and attentive. I really wanted to like it more than I did. This was the second chance we gave it, we got a lot of food for our money, but we actually just got tired of eating it and ended up taking most of it home and giving it to the dogs. It's just okay. read more

Best meal I have had in a long time. Voodoo shrimp Was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious! Be sure to try the crawfish cornbread!

When we are in Marshall we stop in here for the best Cajun food around. We LOVE it here and the staff is the best at making us feel welcome. Can't wait for my bread pudding for dessert read more

Has potential but falls in 3 areas. 1. Need a real chef who can cook Louisiana food . Not up to par. Not even close. 2. Need to serve alcohol. How can you have Cajun in your name with no booze :) 3. Have a waitress seat customers. Feels like fast food trying to be upscale. On the good side they had a great blues band playing . Could be a great music/dinner venue with proper management and upgrades read more

Only reason not five stars is that they do not serve beer. By far the best casual dining in the Marshall area. With a menu that covers all the bases from burgers to wings to crawfish, there is enough variety to keep you happy for many visits. My personal favorite is the chicken fried ribeye... Seasoned perfectly, with a crispy crust and rich gravy, it just doesn't get any more east Texas than this! read more

What a great little gem. We lived in southeast Louisiana for years and years. The food in here is pretty darn good. I had the red beans and rice with sausage plus an extra side of hush puppies. My husband had the cajun pork chops with a side of veggies. Both items were tasty and hit the spot. I wished mine had a little more meat in it, but the flavor and thickness of the sauce was right on target. Add a splash of hot sauce and you are good to go. The hush puppies are super delish cooked to crispy corn perfection. I would definitely order them again. My husband seemed to enjoy every bite of the pork chops. The side of mixed veggies were nothing special, but I doubt too many people come here and order them. There are way too many other more tasty things to choose from on this menu. The decor is kitschy and cute. Bayou boats, gators, and loads of fleur de lis art plus purple, gold, and green with a dollop of French QTR motif thrown in for good measure. They have TVs and plenty of room for large parties. I also noticed outdoor patio seating. It was clean in the both the restaurant and bathroom and the staff were friendly and attentive. If your travels brings you through this neck of the woods this aint a bad spot to spend a little time and money. read more

Cajun Tex review, 4 stars is my review. I had to deduct a star and a half because the food is just good, not fantastic and this place is semi-cafeteria style. You order at a register, sit down and they bring the food to you. Not what I call a "proper" restaurant. Halfway towards cafeteria. So that leaves it at 3-1/2 stars but I gave a half star back because the staff is great. Very friendly and helpful...so 4 stars it is. A very cool, wide variety menu, and for your average schmuck I'm sure the food is fantastic. I cook and I have a darned good knowledge of great tasting food. This food is good, not fantastic. My wife ordered the Cajun tomatoes appetizer for her meal. A great concept; two fried green tomatoes, topped with a crab cake, topped with hollandaise, topped with crab meat and the whole thing sprinkled with Cajun seasoning. She said it was good but not great and that my fried green tomatoes with green tomato white gravy blows it away, and I make a simple microwave hollandaise that would put theirs to shame. Again, if you don't cook well, you may think this stuff is top notch so your mileage may vary. I ordered the fried pickles, the gumbo and the Boudin plate. The fried pickles were good, not the best I've had. The gumbo was very chunky and full of meat and vegetables and was good, but fell way short of the deeply developed flavor of a solid gumbo with a dark roux like gumbo is supposed to be. Again, my own home cooked gumbo, as a lifelong Virginian is way better than this gumbo just a few miles from the Louisiana border. The Boudin was unremarkable, but decent. I did think the way they fried it was cool and it made the casing snap when bit and totally all edible (it is not usually done this way, normally it is boiled or steamed and you squirt/suck it from the casing and discard the casing). I can tell you where to get awesome Boudin but I don't know if this site allows that. I have also made much better Boudin myself at home but I can't stuff the casings properly. The Boudin balls were pretty good, but not knee buckling. I liked the crispy exterior but I would step on the flavor big time with both the Boudin and the balls. I suppose most people are afraid of flavor and heat so that is why so much Boudin out there is bland. Boudin should smack you in the face with flavor and some heat. The dirty rice was not bad at all. It tasted a lot like their Boudin, which is better as a rice flavor but lacking for Boudin flavor. The portions were very large. A cup of gumbo at this place is literally a bowl. The bowl at this place is a serving dish that would normally be put in the center of the table for everyone to serve from. You will not leave this place hungry. Obviously I only tasted a tiny percentage of the menu, but for a place with Cajun in the name you can judge pretty well just from gumbo and Boudin. This is a very popular place with the locals and we had to park down the street at lunchtime. Oh, the tea was very good and they have a few very nice sounding desserts as well. My wife bought a piece of pecan cobbler to take with us. Give this place a try. We will probably never be through here again, but if we were, I would go the 5 miles off rt. 20 again in a heartbeat to try more of the extensive wonderful menu. I wish this place were in my hometown. read more

I really, REALLY wanted to like this restaurant, and HOPE they will read the review and make improvements because I'm sure based on the reviews below that much of their menu is great. Great atmosphere and fantastic customer-friendly service from the moment you walk in the door. Loved that. No alcohol - we can take or leave it, but do like to have the option. Mushroom Swiss cheese burger. Great burger - small "fixins" bar. Garlic parmesan fries - Amazing. Texas Twister potatoes: Homemade potato chips - flavorless. Grilled Shrimp Salad: Please, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE, lose the "salad in a sack" with the horrible chemical preservative which I can immediately smell and certainly taste. Is it really that difficult to provide fresh cut lettuce (even if it IS iceberg) for a decent salad offering. I'm sure the homemade bleu cheese dressing was fabulous, but who could tell with this awful tasting lettuce. Desserts looked fabulous, but we didn't indulge. I'll be back to give them another try and I pray the management sees this review and corrects the problems. read more

Hard to beat a cup of papa's gumbo and a blackened Breaux Bridge! If you are looking for a cheap fast food joint, look elsewhere. This is great Cajun fare cooked to order and priced just right. I have tried almost everything on the menu since they've opened and it's all good. Live music events throughout the year. read more

I have ate here a few times and always had the best experiences. The food is great, I've had the hot wings, burger, and the crawfish pasta. The chili cheese fries are amazing! The service is great and they are always nice! The atmosphere is great ! It feels like I'm down in New Orleans ! read more

We had a recommendation from someone to try this place out! The wait staff was great and very friendly. The atmosphere was fun. That's where everything ends. I feel like everything was not very fresh. I'm sure they make it all in house I'm just not sure when. I think they microwave or reheat a lot of the things they serve. The only thing I liked was the coleslaw. My husband had a crawfish meat pie that he liked. That's about it. read more

Way under rated establishment! You can taste the love in the cooking! Get the Crawfish Cornbread! OMFG!! The meat pies are fine. The Breaux Bridge Classic (blackened) is a freaking masterpiece. The dirty rice was perfect, and the corn hushpuppies made my mouth have an orgasm. Going to get the bread pudding, now... read more

Friends took us here. We can not say enough about the outstanding staff. I honestly dont think I have ever had a friendly server in any restaurant i have ever been in. The food was tasty and they had a great selection to chose from . We enjoyed our experience read more

I got the 1/2 El Paso salad and my husband got the shrimp poboy. My salad was good, and really big. The poboy came plain and you have to go to the salad bar to get things to put on it. Shrimp were good. We may would eat there again if we were in town at lunch time. read more
