We found this place on yelp and stopped by for lunch. We ordered the oxtails with rice and got cornbread dressing and mac & cheese. Oxtails were delicious and hot the sides were good but above average. Also ordered the pork chop basket with fries. Had to wait as the pork chops are made to order. They are delicious and seasoned perfectly. Go give this place a try. Get the pork chops! read more

Food... 3 Stars Customer Service... 5 Stars I absolutely loved the people working here at D&L's. EVERYONE was friendly and extremely helpful. As for the food I came late in the day and to be honest the food was overcooked and salty. But that's what I get for showing up a half hour before they close. Would I return? MOST DEFINITELY Would I recommend? MOST DEFINITELY YELPERS and foodies alike definitely try out D&L's for first rate customer service and home made authentic soul food. So let it be written... So let it be EATEN. read more

Finally tried this place and was pleasantly surprised! The food was so much better than more popular places. I had the turkey wings and cornbread dressing and was very pleased with my meal. Everything tasted like I was truly enjoying a home cooked meal. The customer service was welcoming and accommodating. The staff acting like they appreciated my patronage. The facility is not new or modern, but it was clean. For a good home cooked, unpretentious meal, this place is the spot! read more

If you're hungry, and don't have a lot of money, D & L's Cajun kitchen it's just a place for you. It is a sort of a combination of soul food and Cajun cooking. This restaurant with plenty of dining seating is bound to have something that you will find appealing and filling. They have a small steam table with the usual suspects of a good soul, food restaurant - oxtails, turkey wings, collard greens, rice, gravy, mac & cheese, etc. Then at a separate location they will fry you fish, shrimp, boudin or whatever you want. As an added bonus they offer on Friday and Saturdays pork Cracklin as good as what I get in Louisiana. So again if you looking to fill up without emptying your pockets, this is a very good choice. read more

Just outstanding soul food. Came out for the Bama-A&M game, and love to try places like this. The meatballs with sides was enough for two, but we added on a pint of gumbo to be sure. It was all amazing. The cornbread dressing was excellent, and just a bit spicy. The okra was also delicious. Now to the main courses, there were two meatballs, almost the size of grapefruits, and covered in a fantastic gravy. The pint of sausage and chicken gumbo was also wonderful, nicely spiced, and with plenty of white rice to bring it home. We are only in Houston about every other year but it will be difficult to pass up another meal here! read more

This was second time visiting D&L's. The first time I had oxtails, so I decided to try something different -- the Turkey wing plate with rice, collard greens, green beans, & a side of yams. The yams were so-so, green beans were a Go, and the collards were flavorful...hot sauce made them pop. Now idk if they have to ration out small scoops of the Turkey wing gravy, but I wanted & needed a bit more. I live kinda far, so by the time I got home my rice soaked up all that wing gravy & my wing was a bit parched. I still ate it though lol. Overall, I'd go back... but I'll just get the oxtails again. Staff was pleasant & reminds me of mom & pop shops back home. The other guests in line reminded me of like community aunties & uncles from back home too. It was nice visit a place not so trendy with a comfortable vibe. read more

I don't get what is so Cajun about this place. I didn't smell anything "Cajun," and , I didn't see anything "Cajun." On the contrary, their menu lends itself more to a "country cooking" scheme versus a Cajun persona. I would even accept soul food as this place's namesake, but Cajun? Nah. With a steam table of items such as smothered chicken, pork chops, oxtails, and turkey wings, wouldn't you call that soul food versus Cajun? Maybe I'm being a little picky with the name of the restaurant, but names matter and should tell people what to expect. I digress on that aspect of this review. Since I am trying to eat better, the globs of cornbread dressing, rice, and overcooked vegetables were not appealing for purchase. As far as price...my cousin spent nearly $30 bucks on oxtails with two sides, adding a pork chop, another al la carte entrée , and a drink to his take out order. This may be the typical cost for such hood delicacies, but that's grocery money to me!!! Once more, this place has a Groupon ad that I remembered seeing a couple of weeks back, but when I went into D&Ls with my cousin, I saw a sign that stated that they DO NOT accept Groupons two days out the week (I believe it was Tuesday and Wednesday). In any case, that would be tragic for someone to come in with a Groupon and might be turned away from using it because they didn't know about this restriction. Bad move and poor managerial execution to build clientele. I will give them props sincere staff and for having a pretty clean and organized exterior, but the plain white walls are boring! Couldn't dine in here regardless of the tv in the corner to stare at while stuffing my face. Can you imagine how many stars I'd give this place if I had actually eaten the food?! Based on what others have stated in their reviews, a one! read more

The food was pretty decent. This reminds me of the type of food your church will prepare, if they make soul food. I mean this to say that it tastes as if it's meant to be served to lots of people and flavor is not the most important factor. The max and cheese was bland. The greens were pretty good. My beef tips needed Tony's. My boyfriend's oxtails needed Tony's too. You certainly get what you pay for... you can't find soul food cheaper than this but the flavor is what justifies the price. I prefer mikkis. read more

When you walk in there is an option to build your own plate or from the menu. Since it was lunch time and we wanted to try a few different things we built our own plate. You can choose one protein and two sides. I chose meat balls. He serves them on a bed of rice and meat balls are HUGE!!! Served with gravy on top too. And I got greens and black eyed peas. And of course had to get corn bread! It was so hearty and delicious!! Definitely try this place!! read more

Yesterday I ordered from this restaurant for the first time. I got several orders of the catfish and shrimp with fries, a boudain link, and the oxtail plate with greens and green beans. First of all, the fish and shrimp arrived hot and was very tasty. Kudos to them for that. The boudain link was long and also very good. But it fell off the rails with the soul food plate. The oxtails were really tough, the rice was woefully undercooked and it was way too much of it, there was not much gravy at all, so I had a ton of dry hard crunchy rice. The greens and green beans had no seasoning and the greens were a bit tough as well. If I ever order from this place again it will definitely only be the catfish and shrimp. I was extremely disappointed with the oxtail plate. I hope the restaurant can take this review and improve things. Start by putting much less rice on the plate and make sure that it's cooked all the way through. And don't skimp on the gravy. No one wants to eat dry hard rice! read more

Since I have eaten at the restaurant a couple of dozen times I guess I should write a review of the place. However, it is difficult to properly review the place because it is so inconsistent. One visit it is a 5, the next it is a 1. I am giving it a 4 in the review because when it is a 5 it is definitely a great place to indulge your soul food fix. Plus they do delivery through a 3rd party vendor. read more

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate.

Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

The hush puppies and fries were tasty and I was impressed with the amount given as side dishes. The interior was lovely and very crowded. I will say that there is some confusion on where to go for ordering in vs picking up ordered food and the noise level was quite high. The employees were very friendly and helpful however and made sure we were helped in as timely a manner as was possible. A nice place to get some fried seafood.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

I was still a bit skeptical when ordering, but I knew they wouldn't steer me wrong. This place is clean with a huge dining room. Service was great, and prices are not bad at all. We were seated immediately upon walking in on a Sunday, right before the lunch rush came. I am salivating as I'm writing this because the flavors of everything we ordered is still fresh on my mind!! Bottom line: just try it at least once! They know what they're doing here. It's no wonder this place is poppin!! Next time I'm back, I'll try to make another stop so I can get my own bag of crawfish. I played it safe this visit and got the Crawfish Etouffee, lol. I was lazy to peel them, so this fit the bill for me that day. We all liked what we ordered, but I was traumatized from my first experience with crawfish from a seafood boil I went to a few years back. Crawfish Cafe renewed my faith, and I am now a believer!! I shall be back!!
