The menu is a treasure trove of fresh, expertly prepared dishes showcasing the bounties of the Gulf Coast. The Fish with 6 Piece Shrimp Combo and the Crawfish Plate are perennial favorites, delivering perfectly fried and succulent seafood that tastes as if it’s just been pulled from the water.

Adventurous eaters will appreciate the Bayou Platter with the daring addition of frog legs, while the Boudin Balls and Gator Bites showcase lesser-known Cajun delicacies with bold, satisfying flavor and perfect crispiness.

Fabulous food and the staff is friendly and attentive. Wonderful atmosphere with creole music playing. It's Cajun flavor but not hot and spicy. Flavor that leaves your mouth happy and wanting more. Desserts looked tasty but we were too full to try them. Locally owned by a vet and his beautiful wife. Will definitely be back!
Best hospitality hands down, service is helpful and courteous. Food is delicious good flavor moist. Not over cooked. Not excessively oily. Catfish was on point, fried oysters are huge and plump, shrimp are big, crab cake good flavor, gar steak is very flavorful. Crawfish Etouffee was very good. Thank you for the sample! Most definitely a hidden gem in Waco don't let the outside fool you! Go in and try their food! Will definitely be returning. Music is good too!
GREAT FOOD at good prices! I'm gonna let the pictures talk for us!! Crab legs boil Fried shrimp dinner Hubby ate his frog legs before I got a picture & wouldn't stop eat for me to get a picture of the Seafood platter We enjoyed all of it!!
I thought I had already found the best Cajun spot in Waco with Cajun Craft, but Friday’s Cajun Kitchen might be just as good, maybe even a little better. Cajun Craft is plated up fancy and feels more upscale with the price to match, but here all you need is a styrofoam plate. That tells you everything: it is about the food, plain and simple. I ordered the shrimp plate with twelve jumbo shrimp, and they were fat, juicy, spicy, and cooked perfectly. Easily some of the best shrimp I have had in Waco. The homemade tartar and red sauces for dipping were delicious as well. For sides, I went with the étouffée and the red beans and rice, and both were fantastic: rich, flavorful, and comforting. A few splashes of Louisiana hot sauce over the top sealed the deal. The service was great. Everyone was super nice, laid back, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It honestly reminded me of the Cajun food I have had in Louisiana, which says something. This place is legit Cajun comfort food, and I will definitely be back.
Huge selection of dinners. Honestly the BEST etouffee that I've ever had in my life and I've eaten it all over the South for the last 45 years. Perfect seasonings and great people make it truly a favorite place! We will be back every time we are in town.
The food and customer service is terrific here but being apart of the Cajun kitchen Crew and making you all experience is just out of this world. Enjoy these pics
The best REAL Cajun food you can get in the area!! It’s family owned and the food is the absolute best! The flavors are real authentic Cajun. We ordered crawfish in JANUARY and they were small obviously but oh soooo good! We also had catfish which I didn’t get a picture of and it was so good crispy and fresh there cocktail sauce was we ordered dessert to go and you can see the serving HUGE serving size. If you like Cajun and haven’t been here you are missing out!! This place is worth the drive from miles away!! Not to mention how hospitable and kind the workers/owners are please stop by and put them on the map!!! P.s. they gave us a sample of the Étouffée and that alone will have us running back best I have ever had and I have tasted a lot even from Louisiana and this is THE BEST!!
I enjoyed the food and I am a picky eater. Food came out hot . Tilapia basket and boudin balls did not disappoint me.
