Fantastic Cajun flavors, bold spices, great service. Loved every bite here! So good!!

Staff was friendly and helpful. We had the shrimp po-boy and seafood gumbo. Probably some of the best we had outside of New Orleans. Definitely going back to try other items on the menu. read more

Craving some crab and crawfish on my way home from work and I found Dirty Cajun on Yelp. It was about 3pm on Saturday and there were plenty of tables. I was solo and sat at the bar, but I think this place is good for groups and celebrations- lots of tables and an open layout. I really enjoyed the snow crab seafood boil with mild dirty cajun seasoning and I subbed the egg for another corn. The dirty cajun seasoning is the cajun and lemon pepper mixed, mild has no heat at all- nice balanced flavors, tender sausage and potato. It came with two large crab clustered and I was full and happy. read more

This crab boil was insane!! The spice/flavor on the seafood... it was a great experience. Service was fast and friendly. Only thing is I wish there wasn't a 2 pound minimum on the crawfish because it was so much food. Luckily, we were able to reheat it later to share it with the fam and the taste was still on point! 10/10 recommend! read more

Dirty Cajun Seafood Kitchen - Boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bedford, Texas

Dirty Cajun is a good spot to satisfy that real New Orleans Cajun cravings. Very well seasoned, pasta cooked to al dente and vibes is really what completes the visit. The area is very busy with 2 other bar and a cinema in the this corner of Bedford but don't that deter you from visiting because all that traffic along Airport Fwy is well worth it. read more

Cajun cuisine is one of my top 3 favorites. Having seafood alone is one of the best meals but cook it Cajun style is one of the best! We decided to try this seafood kitchen even though the traffic here is somewhat annoying especially during rush hour. We tried 3 dishes. Seafood gumbo, New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp, and Cajun Pasta topped with crawfish. All of the dishes were so flavorful! The gumbo color looks really good, the pasta on Cajun pasta was perfect al dente and the handiness of N.O. Barbecue shrimps is just the right amount. This place is definitely worth a try if you are in the area. Traffic can be a pain and parking can be a little challenging at time since they share it with a couple other bars and a theater. read more

The service at Dirty Cajun was honestly top tier, they check on you at the perfect time, not too frequent but not to the point it feels they forgot about you. They don't make you feel rushed and the vibes were great for honestly everyone, they had tables that fit every party. Now the food, was delicious, seasoned great and for those who like a little more spice they have hot sauce available. My family tried a lot of different items on the menu and we enjoyed every single item! I will say it does take a little bit for your items to come out but they were fresh when they did. The beignets were also good, not the best as some flavor is missing at least to me personally but I would get them again. If you're missing Louisiana this spot might just cure that craving. read more

The meal was so good, although we tried our best to eat everything we could not. Our server was super nice, even made us to go lemonade and Diet Coke. If we were local we would definitely return. We shared the boil and dirty Cajun gumbo, as soon as the food was brought to us we could tell it was going to be delicious. We dined on a Thursday night and it was not crowded, can tell that on weekends this spot is popping. if you are seeking a good meal with good service try this spot. read more

This place made me wish I was in Bedford more often! Although I understand they have a location in Richardson. I will definitely check it out. Hubby ordered the sausage red beans and rice and I ordered the crawfish étouffée with blackened catfish. I could not believe how delicious it all was and the food was piping hot with the most outstanding gravy on the etouffee!!!! Mama Mia!!!!! I could swim in that gravy and do backstrokes as a break from stuffing my face! Descriptive and over the top? Yes! But I don't care! Find out for yourself! read more

I'm not sure how I have not been to this place before. However, this place has only been open. One year so I don't feel too bad when I tell you. This is one of Bedford's best kept secrets. The food here is outstanding. Everything is so good me and my friend went here for lunch Last Sunday and it did not disappoint. The only thing I did not like was their dirty rice and the other items are made with pork and I can't eat pork, however, I did substitute, mine with regular white rice and it tastes just as good. We enjoyed our meal. And had some dessert to follow-up. Our server was very nice and friendly. The staff was great. It's a good environment. They also play music in there and they have a good happy hour. It's just the overall great place to go and enjoy you. Some dirty Cajun food, you're in the area, stopped by folks and just try it out for yourself. read more

First time here! We got seated within 2 minutes. Their menus are huge so many items to choose. I ordered a water and piña colada. Piña colada was sweet and tasty! We had grilled oysters which were good. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with salmon. I was already full and was halfway done. Big portions so definitely taking leftovers. My son got the shrimp boil hot and it did have a lil kick and husband had red beans and rice with salmon. We enjoyed our food and definitely want to come back! I recommend it for ppl who love cajun food! A must try! read more

We really like this place! We've been going weekly and trying something new every time. Service has been hit or miss though. I've had a teenager who had to be reminded to bring silverware after bringing my food; I had another who didn't know what "andouille" was and guessed it was a fish and brought that out instead; and had yet another forget my husband's sides. And what other commenters stated about the gnats: Yeah, that's true. There's a ton of gnats here, and it is off putting. ...Yet I return again and again because their food really is THAT good. The first time I went, I ordered the cajun pasta. I was going to compare it to Pappadeux's similar version, which I think is like $42.99. Here it was only like $25. Their version was excellent! It contained a lot of seafood, was well cooked, and was great. The fried beinet cobbler dessert thing was good, but didn't have ice cream on it as pictured on the menu (it has whipped cream instead). Their chocolate lava cake is really good, but not big enough to share between two people that love desserts so uh, get your own lest a fight break out. I ordered the mac and cheese with crawfish and sausage, but I was brought the dirty mac n cheese instead. It was still good. I tried again on another visit, and loved the mac n cheese. It was gooey and creamy. My daughter didn't care for hers, but I think its because the kid's version was plain and without texture. I've had their jambalaya. It was excellent, and was swimming in butter. The last time I went, I tried their red beans and rice. Still very excellent! My husband hated to admit their gumbo was better than his. Also, their crawfish boil is delicious, well done, and generously portioned. These guys know their food! My son only gets the kids chicken tenders, but these are MASSIVE, well battered, and heavily seasoned. It's great. He specifically asked to go to the place with the "good" chicken. The food is beautiful, the seasoning is on-point, and I love they'll make things extra hot. They add a ton of protein to everything. I haven't ordered any alcohol (yet) so can't speak to that. My son enjoys his mango lemonade every time though. read more

My roommate and I decided to try this spot and it did not disappoint. It's almost impossible to go wrong here. There is an extensive food (and drink) menu, and all items looked to be delicious. I got the gumbo and it had essentially everything in it I could imagine. My friend got the mussels, and Cajun pasta. All food was devoured, by all parties. Zero complaints. Cameron was our bartender/waiter. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, fun, and extremely engaging. We will definitely be returning and I can't wait to try more delicious Cajun options! read more

My experience has only been with to go food so I can't speak on how the dine in service would be. The food that I have gotten has been really good. I had a shrimp pasta dish. I can not remember the exact name of it but it was made with penne pasta, had shrimp, and the sauce had a little kick to it. The dish I get from here all the time is the lobster, shrimp, and crawfish fried rice. It is extremely good and the portion is huge. I do think it is a bit on the higher priced side. We have also tried the crab legs. The fried fish and fried shrimp were ver mediocre. The batter they used was too sweet and it tasted like the oil it was fried in needed to be changed. The major complaint I have is that the to go orders take a very long time and sometimes they can be disorganized. read more

Y'all. Culinary experiences have definitely expanded in Bedford and this is no exception. We ordered takeout to enjoy a Friday night movie and were pleasantly surprised. The crawfish was plentiful, the flavors on point, spicy but tasty. We definitely preferred the etoufee over the dirty rice - the boudin balls are MASSIVE, so you won't be disappointed with just two. Since we didn't eat on site we can't say much for the service or ambiance, though the gal who took our order on the phone was very pleasant. Definitely give this place a try for Cajun food! read more

This was my second time that I've been there and this town was for my birthday The crab ball we excellent I really enjoyed those. I did have my heart set on the macaroni with crab and they didn't have that they ran out so I was a little Disappointed. Everything was great read more

This place was definitely a winner. It's a new spot with lots to offer. The customer service is superb, drinks strong and tasty, and food flavorful and fresh. The ambiance fits the theme of the restaurant and that's Cajun. I order the fried shrimp platter and a frozen hurricane. The drink was smooth but don't let the smooth taste fool you. When standing up take it slow or it may be, "Timber" (with you falling over-lol) If you are feeding a family, it's a little pricey. Best comparison is some of the high scale local seafood restaurants' pricing with more choices and variations from Dirty Cajun without the experience you get at the high end restaurants. However, if you can afford the tab, the meal definitely will not disappoint. Give them a try. Enjoy! read more

I've ordered to-go from this Cajun spot three times over the past month, and while the food has been flavorful, the inconsistency and lack of customer service on my most recent visit drop my rating to three stars. Visit 1 (Mother's Day): We went all out--Seafood Gumbo, Spicy Calamari with fries, Sausage Red Beans, and Cajun Pasta with spicy fettuccine salmon. The total was around $85. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and served in generous portions. This was our first time trying the restaurant, and everyone was impressed. We had plenty of leftovers. Visit 2: After trying my leftovers, my family couldn't wait to place their own order. We got another Spicy Blackened Salmon Cajun Pasta and more Calamari with fries. Again, the seasoning was spot on. No complaints--just clean plates. Total around $43.00 Visit 3: Unfortunately, this is where things took a turn. We ordered the same Blackened Salmon Cajun Pasta and Spicy Calamari with fries, but the seasoning was so excessive that the calamari and fries were coated in red powder--over-salted and overpowering. Given we were sharing with a senior and a child, we immediately and politely returned to ask for it to be redone. The bartender took it to the kitchen but returned saying, "They said you asked for spicy," with no manager or cook stepping out to address the issue. The restaurant was completely empty, so the lack of accountability and unwillingness to even have a conversation felt dismissive. Final Thoughts: I love spicy food--but there's a difference between bold flavor and a salt bomb. The first two orders were great. The third was inedible. When you're charging premium prices, consistency and customer care should be non-negotiable. Disappointed by how the situation was handled. read more

My uncle & I went to try this place today & I have to say it was amazing from the decor, the drink menu, & the food, FABULOUS! It was like walking into a place on bourbon st. All the decor, the music was great but not so loud that you couldn't enjoy the company you were with. We did have to stand to be seated for a while even though there were only 4 other tables , however, 1 was a big group and there were only 2 servers so they did do a pretty good job. I ordered the red beans & rice with blacked shrimp & sausage spicy, while my uncle went for the crawfish étouffée regular. We also ordered hush puppies. The hush puppies were so crispy on the outside with the most delicious flavor & moist , not too thick on the inside. They came with a sauce that was good but I preferred them without the sauce. My dish red beans & rice , was absolutely perfect. The shrimp were perfectly cooked & seasoned, the sausage was excellent. The beans were seasoned to perfection, the only thing is I didn't get any hint of spice so I wonder what the regular tastes like? My uncle's étouffée was a dance recital in my mouth. The roux, the crawfish, the veggies, all dancing around as if to win a competition that it had already won. I will definitely be getting that next time. If you guys have not tried this place you must. They have hurricanes & fish bowl drinks to boot. They are closed on Mondays so don't go the & be disappointed! Just go then Yelp about what you think!! read more

Like WOW!!! This is an amazing Cajun place. Looking at the prices is a bit rough but they don't joke about portions. The "cup" is really a HUGE bowl. The staff is funny and very pleasant. Love the colors and feel they gave the place. The clam chowder is so good! I have never been to Boston but grew up in San Francisco and getting it off the pier and this is just like that! We got the pork boudin balls and like WOW! Words can't describe the balls. Clearly homemade. I got chicken and shrimp etouffee and it was on point! Their chicken is amazing. We got seafood gumbo and it was loaded with seafood. The crab chunks were amazing. My husband got jambalaya. Surprisingly - knowing the steak would not be rare - the flavor was outstanding. The oysters are farm raised. We will be back! read more

I had a hankering for a burger and my husband and I got just hangry enough to not agree on anything, and I tripped over this listing on Yelp. I ended up only getting a burger to satisfy the craving, because everything else was calling our name. Every dish was better than the last and I cannot stress enough, you should come sample all of it before this gem is discovered by the masses. It is pricy, yes, but it is worth every penny. This isn't a fast food joint, and I promise, you'll want to take your time anyway - savor all of it. Every plate was fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection. High quality and clean. If it's supposed to be crispy, it's the crispiest. Creamy, creamiest. They're going to ask you "spicy?" after you order anything and protip - always say yes. Holy boudin balls Batman - get the pork and Monterey Jack cheese. People are also 10/10 - Tony, his family of chefs, and their curated service team. read more

Time to get down and dirty so we selected Dirty Cajun. Cajun is a flavor that wakes up the taste buds. Something we needed that day, especially after a 75 mile cycling rally in Texas. Our first visit here. We were worried since it was near a movie theater and we might get movie food. My sponsor ordered the Shrimp-Crawfish-Sausage over Rice. I ordered the Po-Boy Blackened Catfish. My sponsor enjoyed the nice Mild seasoning (there is an option for Spicy). I ordered the "Spicy". The Po-Boy was great with tomato's onion and peppers sautéed, making it juicy enough to eat with a fork. Hope to return. read more

Food was phenomenal, portions were amazing (the crawfish were HUGE!). Highly recommend this place to all seafood lovers.

Really love good Cajun food so decided to give this place a try for a quick dinner. We were seated fairly quick upon entering. The atmosphere is laid back. The walls are adorned with tons of "Cajun" decor. Have to admit we sat for way longer than we feel we should have. A few minutes longer and we were going to leave and go elsewhere. The menu is massive and overwhelming. Our drink order came out pretty fast. Same with our appetizer (hush puppies). They were okay but I've certainly had better and likely wouldn't order them again. I got a po-boy sandwich which was underwhelming. Given the price of food I think I was hoping for so much better than what we received. read more

Tried Dirty Cajun Seafood Kitchen and while the food came out super hot and fresh, it was a bit of a letdown overall. The fish was overcooked, mainly because there was way too much batter, which took away from the flavor and texture of the fish itself. You could tell it was cooked fresh, but the heavy batter made it dry. Not terrible, but not great either. With less batter and better balance, it could be much better. read more

Food is amazing! Love this place. Cajun pasta and crawfish etouuffe are off the chain. And, the prices are very reasonable.

Wanna start this with the young man that was our waiter was awesome, and I wanna give my sympathy for how bad this is. The seafood boil is like they dumped a pound of sugar in the mix, the lobster tail was like rubber and my wife couldn't even get the meat out of the shell. The egg was so boiled you could've played tennis with it, and the crab legs had barnacles on them. 10/10 do NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Food was ok but the service was awful. Never refilled drinks, had to ask multiple times for things, then told us that there was a mandatory 20% gratuity added onto the tab. If he knew he would get 20 percent off us no matter what I guess he just decided he didn't need to do his job. We won't be back. read more

Stopped in, they have several lunch portion options even on a Sunday. We ordered the etouffe and red beans and rice. It was beyond delicious. They give you the option of protein, which we chose shrimp. It's very well seasoned and we ordered ours spicy and it was on point. We did order some buttered bread with our meal and it was delicious. The waiter told us it was shipped from New Orleans. Service was great and quick and the inside is very family friendly read more
