    Red beans & Rice topped with fried chicken and cups of gumbo.
    Taylor L.

    My Cajun family loves this restaurant. It's a homey little hole-in-the-wall place run by a mom and her daughter. They've got all of the Louisiana and NOLA classics, and our favorite is the crab cakes and the crawfish éttouffée. And the crawfish breaaaad is delicious!!! Because it's a small family business, they are only open on Thursday - Saturday. Plan ahead for a chill, slow dinner because there's only one waiter in this cozy little spot. BUT she is the BEST. Go support this local gem!!

    Food is BEYOND AMAZING but the service is painfully slow. Saw 2 tables walkout in our time there. If you go, just come knowing you're gonna spend a lot of the time waiting, but the wait will be sooooooooo worth it!!

    Shrimp Etouffee Plate

    Crazy slow service. Only 9 people in the restaurant and took over 45 mins to get an updated on the food was still want ready. I did find it interesting that margaritas were timely delivered to the kitchen. After total of 55 mins the food arrived. The shrimp etouffee was good and warm. So final thought. food was good. The service absolutely sucks.

    Food was great. Be prepared to wait as it is being cooked extremely fresh. Service was top notch and the ambiance couldn't have been better. It's just a little hole in the wall Louisiana type place but man is it good. I suggest the Boudin Balls and the Gumbo and the catfish for sure. My wife and I were very surprised how good it really was.

    Shrimp po-boy on a sandwich roll

    Service - Painfully slow Food - Nothing authentic and below average quality Value - Overpriced for the quality of food Atmosphere - Could probably use a good spring cleaning Hubby and I decided to stop here for lunch during a trip to Sherman because of the high Yelp! reviews, but do not be fooled! As south Louisianians, we love to support local and enjoy some Louisiana home cooking, but boy were we wrong to pick this place. This restaurant is located in an old shopping strip with NO signage except for painted windows. We arrived about 1:45p, well after the lunch crowd. All 6 tables were full, but it appears people were just sitting at empty tables. No sign of an employee. Hubby turns on his timer because we see two tables walk out within minutes of our arrival. We grab one of the tables that walked out. At the 0:30 mark, we were acknowledged by an employee. I say we need menus, but instead of the server bringing us menus, a local patron gets up to bring us the menus. At the :40 the server finally takes our order. Despite "Lunch Specials" being on the menu from 11:30-3:00, the server told us lunch specials (around $15) were not available. Instead, I choose the Deep Dirty South dinner ($28) and Hubby the Shrimp Po-boy with fries ($18). At the 1:00 mark, 3 more tables have arrived and walked out. That makes a total of 5 tables walking out within one hour because they were never given service. We observed the local patron ordering boiled crawfish, but the server told two other tables that crawfish is not available. The server chats with the locals rather than getting drinks and taking orders from the rest of us. At the 1:15 mark, my Deep Dirty South dinner arrives. It is supposed to be crawfish étouffée topped with a crab cake and piece of fried catfish. The fried catfish was 1/3 piece of filet, coated in a beer batter (not cornmeal), soggy, and muddy tasting. The crab cake was from frozen pre-made and not freshly made. The étouffée was in a weird overly sweet red cream sauce on top of a incredibly salty plate of dirty rice. Look at my picture that shows the weird étouffée sauce consistency. Each component was bad, but put together, it was a terrible blob of food for $28.00. I pick out the seafood and ate the bread, as to not waste an expensive plate. At 1:30 mark, Hubby's $18.00 Shrimp Po-Boy and fries arrives. The po-boy bread was not on an authentic crusty French bread, but a sandwich roll. Since Hubby was starving, he devours it. The server never brings us the ticket, but instead a sheet of register paper asking for 18%, 20% or 25% tip with a drawn signature line. The meal without drinks was $49.50. We kindly opted to leave a cash tip on the table that was a different amount than asked. This may be considered "authentic" for Sherman, but not within my Louisiana hometown parish lines.

    That picture ought to say enough! All the low reviews guarantee they haven't been here. Now trust me they gonna cook your food as it's ordered. It's not McDonalds. I promise we'll worth the wait

    Boudin Balls. Yum!

    Let me start by saying I am not from NOLA but I love me some Cajun food!! If you are looking for Popeyes or even Razoos just keep going. This is genuine homemade Cajun food. My husband and I stopped on the way back to Dallas from Durant. I wanted something locally owned and unique. Well Dani's hit it out of the park! We loved everything we ordered. For starters we had the boudin balls. They are huge and come with a special sauce. My husband got jambalaya with chicken and sausage and I got the Deep Dirty South. OH MY Goodness. Mine was ahhmazzzing!! The crawfish etouffee has this delicious creamy sauce that is just out of this world. We added red beans and rice and Mac and cheese so we could try them. Red beans and rice were fabulous. Just the right kick. The mac and cheese was tasty-baked with cheese but not super saucy. We didn't eat a lot of the Mac and cheese because everything else was over the top. Servings are very plentiful. We should have shared one plate. But then we couldn't have tried each others dishes. We are ordering the bread pudding and beignets. Have already packed up more than half of our food to go but you know we have to at least try the desserts!! The ambiance is quaint. Fun music playing in the background to add to the NOLA feeling.
