    I stopped by to try their turkey necks cause I love a good turkey neck boil, and wow, they did not disappoint. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and just falling off the bone--absolute perfection! You can taste the love and care that goes into their cooking. It was definitely authentic Cajun food. And let me tell you, that purple Kool-Aid drink? Game changer. Sweet, refreshing, and just the right touch of nostalgia. It's the perfect combo with the food. If you're looking for authentic flavor and good vibes, Dat Bayou Spot is where it's at. I'm already planning my next visit!

    poor service, long wait of over 2 hours, no timely announcements, food running out, small venue. ***** im editing the review as the owner responded and tried to avoid taking responsibility. Being short staffed (not true as i saw your employees walking around outside, chillin) is not an excuse for how you handled Thursday's Crawfish special. there was a line OUT THE DOOR, and everyone was confused as there was no communication to anyone about order status or wait time.... nobody was taking orders in a proactive fashion, you had to BEG an employee to take your order after waiting for 2 hours in line, before ordering i specially asked if there were crawfish left and how long it would take. she went to the back to check and told me 20 MINUTES. i came back in 20 minutes and the same people were still waiting on their crawfish. we were ALL told they are sold OUT for the night..... they promised to deliver the food bright and early the next day so we all left upset but hopeful. the next morning I have to call multiple times before finally, "Will" told me hes actually NOT doing delivery and i have to drive an hour to him again to get the crawfish. Ok. So i drive the hour to dat bayou spot. the employees proceed to tell me they are SOLD OUT OF EVERYTHING. i was about to cry. i told them i drove from out of town and i was also there the day before and they sold out of everything. you know what they said?? they would deliver it to me the next day fool me once..... i refused that. all of a sudden they came out the back with shrimp, turkey neck, and crawfish..... ALLL of that aside, THE FOOD WASNT EVEN GOOD noooo way you can have customer service that terrible, wait times that long, an establishment that small, attitude so bad, lies so ridiculous, AND STILL HAVE BAD FOOD!!! I am very shocked that this business is in operation and it makes me ashamed that they are black. but whatever. if you've been to houston you've had much better crawfish than this bayou spot. Hell, even razzoos can give you better service and crawfish. advise to management: stop lying. hire more people. dont have viral instagram ads if you cant handle the crowd. inform the long line of people standing waiting that you are going to have to wait 3+ hours for nasty food. stop saying you'll deliver stuff to get angry customers out of your face- this method doesnt work if you wont ACTUALLY DELIVER THE FOOD

    Delicious. Will have you wanting more. Boiled the right way.

    I don't like to do negative reviews but I have to tell the truth. We are visiting Dallas again and…read morewe got in town late. We like to eat local whenever possible and thought fish and shrimp would be a good light dinner so we found Krab Kingz and read the reviews. Most of the negative comments were about how long it took, so we prepared for that. Hubby tore into it before I could take a picture. We ordered a fish and shrimp combo online with no problem. I received an email saying it would be ready in 30 minutes so we arrived right on time, expecting a delay. When we arrived it was hot and ready. Now there are several large signs that say Check Your Food Before You Leave. It was kind of crowded and dark in the restaurant but I opened the bag, saw fried fish and fries, and figured the shrimp were under them. Nope, I was wrong. They forgot the fish. It was too late to go back since they were closing by the time we noticed. So if you go CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESTAURANT! I'd advise you use your phone flash light (afterthought). The fish was fried hard, just like I like it but I couldn't taste seasoning. It also tasted "fishy" to me and that is when I realized that I didn't know what kind of fish it was! The fries and corn were good and they give you condiments and napkins. Overall I really wanted to add this to my Good in Dallas list but I can't. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

The interior features wooden tables and seating, nautical decor like fishing nets, ropes, and crab traps, and a warm, inviting color scheme with deep blues, sea greens, and sandy beige tones. As soon as guests walk in, they're greeted by friendly, attentive staff who happily guide them to their tables, or offer open bar seating if there's space. The service is prompt but not rushed, with servers who are knowledgeable about the menu and happy to recommend dishes or pairings. Staff remember regulars' preferences and go the extra mile to ensure every customer has a great experience, They also provide a roll of napkins for the messy crab feast and make sure the meal is prepared exactly to order. My server- Harper- was kind, attentive, patient and smiled a lot. When you go, ask for her! The menu is centered around fresh, high-quality seafood, with a focus on various crab dishes--crab legs, crab cakes, and a signature crab boil. They also have egg rolls and cream cheese crab rangoon to mix it up a bit! They offer a selection of local craft beers, wines, and specialty cocktails that complement the seafood. They have drink specials everyday, Monday -Sunday. Overall, the atmosphere is lively and inviting, perfect for a casual solo night out, a family gathering, or a date night.

    Interesting place Mickle's. VERY high energy ownership with exceptional quality Gumbo, red beans…read moreand rice and fried catfish and still, in this current economy, fairly modest prices. The Cajun Kitchen has been here in the Red Bird area of Oak Cliff for 10 years and this was our first visit. Only open M - F from 11 - 5:30p, this is a busy place. Nearly everything is cooked to order. The Gumbo was terrific. I like mine with okra and peppers and onion that I can SEE and it didn't have that, but their smooth spicy dark roux was delicious. I counted 6 large perfectly cooked shrimp in my pint of Gumbo with some diced chicken and sliced sausage and little bits of ham. I also like garlic bread. But honestly, it's hard to be too picky with something this good! Pint - $10.99 Next time, I'll just get it to go and do what I want to it at home. Lol. We also had the posted special - the Catfish Special for $10.99 The Catfish is some of the best that I've had in awhile! The cornmeal is seasoned to perfection, then the fish is fried to perfection and gently cradled on a slice of wheat bread. Um hm. Wheat bread. OMG. Two perfect pieces were served with some AWESOME red beans and rice. I just wasn't feeling fries and a substitution was made for the most glorious red beans and rice! So very good. A can of soda or bottle of water is included. Whole pickled jalapeños are available for 59 cents each. Yes! Have to have some of those, too. I stuffed myself and then took the rest home. As did my husband. For whatever the dining room may have lacked in ambiance, it more than made up in a good time. The A/C was good, the tables were comfortable and the service was friendly, kind and helpful. There's plenty of parking. They have to go and pick up spaces for food out front. BTW There's both baked and fried fish and chicken which sounds amazing. I hope to try both!

    It was ok. It is dark inside. But I love the sit in your car and order and they bring it out to you.read more
