Great customer service. Food is amazing! The wings were hot, crispy & fried to perfection. Red beans & rice was on point. I didn't leave a bean or 1 grain of rice on the plate. The greens were on point as well. The cornbread was soft and fluffy. Definitely recommend this place & will definitely be back. Keep up the great work!!!

Very good food. Very nice atmosphere as well. My wife and I got a chance to speak with the owner, and she was very knowledgeable about the food and the business. The wait for the food was expected but you have to wait for the fresh food. The wait was about 15-20 minutes. No issue. The food was "down home from New Orleans" type of food. We had the catfish and shrimp platter and the Oxtails with Mac & Cheese and Collard Greens. The oxtails fell off the bone, and the gravy on top of the rice was seasoned very well. The shrimp had that New Orleans flavor and hit the spot. The catfish was fresh and seasoned well to our liking. The Daiquiri was good and refreshing. Overall, we liked everything that we had so much that my wife ordered some Oxtails to go. Great job, we'll be back.

THE SWEET CHILI WINGS ARE SO GOOD, my friend told me about this place and how good they were and cant stop door dashing me some wings. I got a wings only order and the were nice enough to send me some fries which I love that they take care of their customers. 10/10 would recommend and would try again.

The food was great and the waitress was awesome. She was there on the day before memorial day. She gave good advice on the food and was really nice to me and the wife. Anyhow the food was definitely seasoned correctly. Good place for out of town people to get southern food

Update: I’ve been back a few times but this time I finally tried a Daquiri. I got the flavor LATE NITE and it did not disappoint. Packed with flavor and perfect amount of “likka”. Food was delicious as always. I had the catfish, lemon peppa wings, and jambalaya. Be sure to tip the gentleman taking your order. He’ll take care of you. Love this place! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FRY CATFISH!! I moved to Mesquite recently and I’ve been on the hunt for decent fried catfish in the area. And by decent, I mean the way my Uncle fries it... crispy, not greasy, not fishy, and with CORN MEAL. Some of yall actually have the audacity to come to Texas and fry fish in flour.. SMDH. I was greeted by ALL of the staff and felt very welcomed and appreciated. All of my questions were answered and everyone was friendly. You can tell they’ve spent time and effort not only in perfecting their menu, but also in creating a beautiful and comfortable dining area. It was very clean and there was no “fried food” aroma in the air. Classy! You don’t realize how impressive this is until you go to similar restaurants and leave smelling like fried chicken. Now, the food: Boudin Balls - Crispy on the outside. Great flavor. Catfish Nugget Basket w/ Jambalaya: Fish was fried to perfection, no fishy taste, and not greasy. Seasoned. Jambalaya was different from what I’m used to, but it was still good. Nice flavor with decent amount of shrimp and sausage tossed in. The basket also came with a corn cob which was surprisingly seasoned very well with some kind of Cajun magic. I don’t even like corn, but I ate it. Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings- So I’m not a fan of wet wings or buffalo sauce but I tried them anyway bc they were recommended. They were delicious and seasoned well. The sauce was a perfect spicy/sweet balance and they were cooked just right. I’ll be trying the dry lemon pepper wings on my next visit. Fried Okra- Best fried okra I’ve had in a very long time. Ask them to fry it hard. Delicious! Shrimp- Basic fried shrimp. But it was fresh and good sized pieces. Fries- Basic crinkled fries, but not greasy and cooked perfectly. I would’ve loved to have a dash of cajun magic on em. Maybe I need to request it next time. And they had HUSHPUPPIES!!! Yes Lawd! I’m so tired of these fish places putting “light bread” in my basket!! Thanks for being true to the game! No dessert or Daiquiri this visit but they looked delicious! They have a variety of cakes: Lemon, German Choc, Red Velvet, etc. They also offer peach cobbler. I saw numerous daiquiri flavors as well. I’ll try those when I go back for the lemon pepper wings. The nice lady who prepared my order took the time to show me each of my food items before she bagged it up. I love that kind of service! She was very sweet and chatted with me. Mardi Gras Cajun Cuisine-Mesquite has earned my business. I will definitely be returning and bringing my family and friends to enjoy this local gem. Thank you! Great job! Keep it up!

I’ve ordered the same Turkey neck bones with corn 4 times. Pure amazing authentic Cajun taste! I’ve sampled off of my friends plates too! The fried okra catfish nuggets and wings are all great tasting food!
