Mr. CaJun's Daiquiri & CaJun Food in Forney

I LOVE when I find my ppl n Tx. Mr Cajuns is where it’s at! I’m NOT SURE where I found this location, but my friend lives here n Forney, so this was perfect for us & now it’s bout to b our spot! I met the owner cool dude, he greeted us as if we were back n La. & made SURE we were straight. The food of course was on point, flavorful, hot, fresh & NOT TOO spicy where u COULDNT eat it. I had the crab cakes, they’re NOT homemade, but STILL was delicious. Chicken wings were big & fresh, but needed a lil more season. Last but NOT least the shrimp was SOOOO DELICIOUS, just like I like’em. Easy peel, deveined & BIG! The corn is fresh, NOT frozen. The potatoes was well seasoned like a boil & NOT too spicy where I COULDNT enjoy them. They sale desserts ALL various kinds New Orleans style snacks as well. It’s a fairly new place, so EVERYTHING was vERY clean & decent. There’s tv’s of course & there a juke box for music. Daiquiris is strong as ever my friend said. If you’re in the Forney area, PLZ check him out & give your feedback as well. Overall the hospitality is a plus & we WILL be back!!! My +, I got a picture w/the owner 💫

Just like to start with, normally I am critical when it comes to down home motherland of cajun cooking, I tend to hold a higher standard when it comes to flavor, spice usage and variety of authentic ingredients that calibrate with traditional cajun cooking. So here we go....The atmosphere - love the modern touch with the color of mardi gras, mixed with graffiti art and a uniformed color when give you that welcome but be ready to order cus the food is good quality. I don't know where or who made that motorcycle but heaven only knows it was to be placed here to show the beauty that awaits. The line of frozen machines in the background gives you some intimidating look but the servers come to back you up and delight you for sampling those creations, be warned of the follow brain freeze!!The Drinks- be ready folks, if you ever partied in Nola in February, the drinks here are the best value for a good long night of sipping fun, my recommendation, let them call out what your getting...you will not be disappointed.The food- brothers and sister, take a seat in the back because the menu is going to take awhile to finally decided on which option your stomach will be treated too. The pricing is little higher than most locally cajun joints nearby, but the quality far exceeds it. Infact I give it the diamond hand touch of food tasting. They ain't messing around back their. Some may think they got a voodoo doctor back there making deals in flavor. I order across the menu to get a broad view of what they got, now folks brace yourselves cause I didn't and was blown away by all senses. The boudian stuffed ball was my starter on my palate and it had a savory taste with a tiny kick, great to salivate the mouth and keep off the hunger demons, I would recommend maybe two for a small lunch to go.Now, I was disappointed that they didn't have a kids menu up, given they are in a heavy family community, but that doesn't stop me from finding something small on their menu, so if you looking for a kids size appropriate meal, go with the shrimp or fish basket with fries, price stays fair and portions stay average for the kid. When it comes to taste, let's just say it was quiet for once.My wife and I order from their seafood menu, the boil area, I got two pounds of shrimp cooked in the in house spice boil and my wife got the combo shrimp boil with corn, potato's and sausage. Now they offer crab legs but if you show up late, they are gone like the wind. The spice had heat and was full of flavor throughout, it reminded me alot of the east side dock markets in the French quarter of Nola, and frankly I only know a few friends who can do that blend right, well I guess I am adding this to my list now!Now I am a sexy fat budda so to round off my meal I ordered me some wings since they got a good part of their menu dedicated to it, I went with chilli sweet pepper and hot honey wing flavor. Nothing shut me up fast enough than tasting those flavored packed wings roll across my tongue, it make you forget about your troubles and possibly having kids. Be ready though, they got a kick at the end that sneaks up, but with love. The crab cakes we got was a good blend of meat to breading, the taste is great and doesn't feel like your being robbed of a good portion as they are bigger than most eatery crab cakes. Crab cakes alone can be a great meal for one on the go.Dessert was the cherry topper. It was their fresh made chocolate cake, moist and fluffy, like it was fresh out and cooled from the oven. I had to fight my wife for just a few bites.. I really wanted to try those delicious looking pralines but last one can only consume so much good food I could come out .Summary - from the welcoming nature to the savory food that reminds you of pre covid partying to the down right good drinks. This would be the place to call forney and kaufman counties new little Nola hot spot for that bourbon street taste. Keep doin you Mr Cajun, especially in a place full of burgers, pizza and fried chicken, you bring flavor to this town born on oatmeal.

Mr. Cajun definitely has southern hospitality down pat. His staff is very welcoming and pleasant. I was the first customer for the soft opening 5/23/24 and I drove one hour and was very satisfied. I ordered the crabs, the fish, the oxtails, the banana pudding, the praline and the strawberry lemonade daiquiri. OMG I love everything and I highly recommend you get the Cajun experience and the restaurant was very clean and the artwork was picture perfect. I see me giving parties here in the future.

Man when I say I picked the right place to eat! As soon as i walked thru the door the front house staff greeted me and welcomed me in. The vibes were vibing! So many delicious looking dishes to pick from. They had daiquiris lined up on the back wall calling your name. The catfish and red beans are ridiculous! I have NEVER had catfish from ANY establishment seasoned to perfection the way that was. Two big filets with rice and beans at the bottom and it came with bread, jalapeños and tarter. Most places i go i feel cheated with the portions and the high prices but man i was more than full with this food. Oh let me not forget the kool aid! Perfection! This is the spot for real!

@mrcajunsdaiquiri Thank you once again for an amazing food experience and warm hospitality, and another photo op! Clean restaurant and ladies room. Food was delicious, and your staff was amazing! We tried this location today; 471 Marketplace Blvd Forney, Tx. I have now been to all three locations. and I can guarantee you wont be disappointed whichever location you visit. #food #shrimp #fish #oxtails #greens #cabbage #yams #beans #rice #daiquiri #dallas #fam #visiting #mr #cajun @mrcajunsdaiquiri we caught you again! #photo #bombParking: Easy to navigate through parking lot

I had to think long and hard about this review because I wanted to give a better review. The food was plenty, in fact I took it home and ate some the next day. the shrimp were large and the seasoning was different but tastes good. I think my shrimp had cinnamon on them? The ladies were awesome. I wanted to take my tip off the bill and give it to them personally to make sure they got it. If there's a next time I will give it to them rather than put it with the bill. The drinks were way too sweet. Like syrup. Minus 1 star. A couple of my shrimp were not cleaned. Minus 1 star The floors need to be redone. The epoxy design is nice but yellowed which looks bad. Minus 1 star. Would I go again? Yes. No place is perfect.

Had to get my Cajun fix for the first time in 13 years. Being from California, good cajun food is hard to find. We had the fried catfish, fried shrimp, the cajun fried corn and the cheese filled boudin balls. The catfish and corn were especially so soo good. It was my first time trying Boudin balls and I loved them! Thank you again for the great food and the amazing service! Even got a taster of their gumbo! Highly recommend Mr Cajun if you're feeling spicy and hungry

First time trying this place after seeing it on Instagram. I ordered the hot honey wings and the turkey neck. Oh my gawd, the turkey neck was 🔥. The wings were too sweet for my liking and over cooked but not unbearable. My friend liked them. I didn't get a drink because I was too focused on food.. after a few minutes "Mr Cajun" comes by and asked how things were (everyone had great customer service) he noticed I didn't have a drink and gave me a water and I quote "you got to hydrate bayybeee" ☺️Music was some old school rnb work some blues 💙. Overall a great first experience and I will definitely go back to try other items! #Blackmamba

Went on a Friday night to try this place based on other reviews & was sorely disappointed.Pros: The young lady working the counter was very nice. The shrimp and potatoes were seasoned good. Portions were large.Cons: The wait was long! We waited almost 2 hours for our food. The oxtails were not tender & needed to be cooked longer. They lacked flavor. There was barely any gravy on the rice so it was dry. Although the shrimp had a good taste, they were overcooked & rubbery.Overall, the wait time and quality of the food was not worth it in my opinion.

Mannn I love it! Amazing staff and hospitality! The place is decorated beautifully and the owner is one cool Fella! I'm from Louisiana myself and felt right at home! Forgot to grab my crafish mac and cheese before I left and they had no problem with making it for me the 2 days after at no cost!! You can't find many REAL establishments like this! Thanks for all that was offered!

Randomly stopped in this spot coming into Dallas from Louisiana and wanted to give it a try considering it was black owned daiquiri shop. The customer service was a 10/10. They have sooo many flavors the drink combinations are endless. I also loved how they basically are like a modern corner store containing candy, koolaid pickles, big shots, etc. I ordered the fish and shrimp combo with cake with fries and a jar of the tropical punch koolaid pickles with a daiquiri. The catfish was great! No complaints there at all. The shrimp, on the other hand, not so much. It was fried way too hard. A few of the pieces were literally as hard as rocks. I’m not sure if I just received a bad batch or what but I can’t say that I’ll try it again. Overall, I enjoyed my experience I just won’t order the fried shrimp ever again. Next time I’m passing through Forney I will stop to grab a bit to eat.

I ordered the fried shrimp and Cajun corn. Firee!! My sister ordered the turkey necks with corn potatoes and sausage with a side of red beans and rice. Fire as well!! The Red Beans and Rice were the best part the best I have ever had. Beat Little Rock’s for sure. We also ordered the half-gallon “Head Banger” 10/10 definitely recommend 2 cups I’m already feeling it. The atmosphere is amazing as well customer service on point I was greeted soon as I walked in the door had my order out with 10 minutes. Kid friendly as well! Awesome experience!!

Amazing food!!! Amazing daiquiri 's "THE BEST IN TEXAS"!!! The atmosphere is relaxed, very professional and make your self at home feeling. Mr. Cajun himself greets all his customers to make sure they feel welcome and each plate is sent out with the New Orleans recipes he grew up making personally 😉. All food is cooked to order, so when you go there get your daiquiri sit back watch one of his big screens TV's while the kitchen make magic for your taste buds. True Louisiana cajun cooking!!! I also recommend the homemade desserts.This place is right off Hwy 80 heading to Dallas, it is worth your stop in!!

Went here while visiting my brother. Everything looked so good, deciding on what to get was the hard part. I went with the oxtails since you don’t come across those very often. They were good. Oh and those potatoes were seasoned through and through. I wanted to eat them so bad but they were too spicy for me. All of you spicy lovers will definitely like them.

Nice small spot in Forney . Plenty of televisions . AC always on blast . Food takes about thirty minutes to come out . I’ve been twice . Food is just ok . Desserts are ok . My Bob Marley Daquiri was the best thing I had . Oxtails could have been tender . Fish and shrimp were your normal fried seafood plate . Boudin balls looked more like hockey pucks but flavorful .

Don’t ever go to this place. This is my second time coming to his place in Mesquite and Forney. The food is always old food that’s warmed up or old food. That’s redropped in the grease and cold in the middle. The liquor is water down ask to take a shot instead of having in your drink its half water have vodka they gotta do better. I love supporting Black business but enough is enough.

The first time I ate here was the best crab leg experience I have ever had. The clusters were cooked perfectly, well seasoned, not over cooked and the sauce was fantastic. The corn and potatoes were great, but the sausage was a little salty (still tasty). I was so excited to have it again but was completely devastated with what I received. While the sauce, corn and potatoes were great again… the crab was rotten. The shell was soft and squishy, the meat texture was off, the smell was sour and rotten, the taste was bad and the color was disturbingly black. The lump crab leaked black juice when I picked it up. I am assuming this was just a bad batch of crab because I saw a similar review from around the same time but this business should be aware if this is a pattern. Please do not serve meat that looks and smells like this. Just 86 the batch and try again later. I know this place can be better because I have had it. I will be back again but after some time. (Rating of 3 because I am averaging a 5 star experience with a 1 star)

We are new to the area and craved some catfish. Kid at Home Depot recommended this spot. Did not disappoint! The only reason they get 4 stars and not 5 is, the fis is super thin and a little fishy. Corn with the butter sauce was everything!!!!!! Shrimp were good. Drinks were on point. Only gave a 4 for atmosphere a gnat wouldn't allow me to eat in peace. We already went back just for drinks. We will try the Cajun pasta and ox tails today. 😋

it wasn't great but it wasn't bad . I wouldn't return but to each their own . Came for the crab legs but wasn't impressed. I prefer a more seafood boil type. It was only one flavor so not much variety. The turkey necks were just ok. So overall it was ok daiquiri was syrupy frozen liquor. Service was good and the place was clean and free from stench. The best thing was the fries .

We stopped by this place because we seen it from Instagram. We got the catfish and shrimp.it was a 10/10 the catfish was fresh,hot and Krispy. The corn on the Cobb was the best part of the whole thing.it has a welcoming atmosphere and the customer service was great. I definitely would come back again. Reson the catfish it's uploaded once I took a bite if it my hands was busy. Y'all gotta come get some catfish y'all self

Well this was my first time and it will be my last time. Firstly the customer service and daiquiri were really good. My friend had the wings and he said they were pretty good but when we get to the catfish nuggets it’s a no go. I’m from Mississippi and my Grandmother is from New Orleans so when they brought the food to me, I immediately could tell the catfish nuggets didn’t look right so I convinced my friend to try one first and he said it was a no for him. I bit into one nugget and had to spit it out in a napkin. The first thing that filled my mouth was a pungent fish smell. Some of the nuggets were soggy and they were so light in color I don’t know if the fish or batter was seasoned. Over in the middle of the night I was sick as a dog and I didn’t even swallow the bite of fish I bit into. I would have asked for a refund because I didn’t want anything else and I had a bad taste in my mouth but they were struggling to keep up with orders and there were only a handful of customers there.

My husband, son, and I came into the Forney location today for the first time. Everyone there was super nice, atmosphere was great. The daiquiri I got was good enough that I don’t remember the name of it. Husband had the shrimp boil plate, which he said was ridiculously good. We’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for great Cajun food. Or a daiquiri that’ll make you forget what you were so worried about in the first place…..Kid-friendliness: This wasn’t a wild or rowdy place, absolutely kid friendly when we went.

I’m highly disappointed at this shrimp boil I bought not long ago and I hate that because I have had the oxtails and they were good. Also the daiquiris are good. I went in And ordered the 1 pound shrimp boil plate and it didn’t come with eggs I asked her to add eggs. Not knowing paying 2 extra dollars you receive 1 egg, thought it would be 2. I just thought to myself oh ok. After receiving my plate, I went to my car and checked it out and noticed I didn’t have the egg. Went back in and had to wait another 10 minutes for that 1 egg which tasted like vinegar when I bit into it. Almost like a pickled egg. Instantly was turned off by it. I Still was excited to eat my shrimp and they were not what I expected as well. Seems as if they were pre boiled and heated back up. Only thing I enjoyed was the potatoes and corn. What a bummer being it was 27$

If you want high blood pressure and diabetes then this is a place for you. I don't see how this place has a 4.5 review. This was my family's first time eating there and will be the last. Some of my family members ordered boiled eggs with their meals and were not fresh. They had a dark brown color to them like they had been previously cooked and left. When it came down to the shrimp, well that was such a big disappointment. Not fresh seafood. They were very over cooked. It was so hard to peel the shell because of how over cooked they were. On some of the shrimp I noticed they had dark spots on top and when I opened them they had a lot of poop which was so disgusting. The restaurant floor was so sticky. I can just imagine what the kitchen looked like. I think Gordon Ramsey needs to visit. The only good thing was the front counter lady who took our order was friendly. We didn't even get this type of customer service from the owner! Such a shame. The worse $60 plus spent!

I love visiting Mr. Cajun's and vibing with the family! They're always very polite and greet you when you walk in the door. Mr. Cajun was there to serve me the bomb a$$ Daiquiris, and I love their Catfish. I will always give them a 10 out of 10. Check out all of their locations. I've tried them all,and can't wait to visit the new location in Mesquite.

My son and I had the wings and fries. The wings were well seasoned but had a bad smell. I’m Caribbean so we clean our meat. I’m not sure if this place cleans the meat before seasoning. I was highly disappointed because after they charged me extra for tip, I expected the food to be great. They have great customer service. I had to throw away the wings because it smelled bad. Highly disappointed!

The food here has progressively gotten worse along with the customer service over the years. When they first opened my family was hooked. Tonight I ordered a boil box and it was so over cooked (probably old seafood) the shrimp was mushy a d falling apart. I struggled to get it out of the shell and when I did it had the consistency of overcooked rice. We also ordered catfish, the fries were old and cold. The fish was mediocre. This is not my first bad experience and I assumed that giving them another shot would reveal some redeeming qualities. I was wrong!!! In the past year the quailty and service went from top tier to try at your risk. Daiquiris are all I will ever get from here going forward.

The food is good, but the service takes ENTIRELY too long. My first time, we waited almost 45 mins and we were dine-in. The second time, I ordered through DoorDash at 10am (pre-scheduled delivery) - they open at 12 noon, my dasher arrived at 12:50 and food was STILL not ready, he ended up waiting for 20 mins. They need more staff or better planning. Food is good, but definitely not worth the wait, especially considering the cost.

Me and my husband went today for the first time ever and it was horrible. Food is way overpriced for what you get. We ordered the 2 pc catfish and fries each (they came back with one box of 4small pieces of fish and fries for one person, literally looked like the halved one fish in half and called it 2, not like pic on menu. n jumbo boudin balls (they were small) for $6 each. Definitely wasn’t what I expected and nowhere near the actual photos on menu. Don’t waste your time and money on Food.

When they first open I went and the food was excellent.A year later after they open the food quality wasn't that good but I tried it again this yearAnd they stepped back up their game. Excellent food. I ordered the fish 6-piece with fries and a shrimp po-boy. Came out to a little over $70.
