Review The Free Man Cajun Cafe - Dallas

André R. Watkins
This place is an entire vibe! The place was packed, but the food and service was still stellar. It did not diminish when the crowd filled up. The live music by T-Marsh was really good. I would encourage you to get here early to prepare for parking. That was a monster in it of itself.

I got so much more than expected. I'd been looking for a place like this since moving to the Dallas area! Although the service and drink menu could be better, the food was decent and the DJ, drummer and other musicians were amazing, I could dance the night away here. I also got an amazing piece of art work from @dallasblackart which was the highlight of the night! Will def be back!

The food is really good. We started with the hot crab dip. For entrees, I had the blackened catfish with red beans and rice and my wife had the fried catfish with sweet potato fries. Mine was excellent and my wife said the sweet potato fries were the best she's ever had. Only complaint is that one of her catfish filets was perfect while the other had water or grease between the batter and the fish

What a night. I don’t drink, so I usually don’t want to stay at these kinds of places long but the singing was good all night with multiple acts. It was surprisingly better quality entertainment than I was giving it. I was singing along with everything and ordering drinks left and right. I had just eaten, but after a few drinks, they have quite a few things that you may want to try so we got some Cajun fries and sweet potato fries, which were great. Indoor and outdoor w/ late night accommodations. Initially I disliked the $10 plus tax or credit card fee squalling about $12.25 a person just to get in. I’m hoping they adequately pay everyone but I do appreciate it and I know they have two sides . Maybe both sides can be packed but really only one side was and the jazz side was empty. I hear they expanded so maybe they have plans to better merge the two to maximize or things may already be working out. I had a great time frfr. If you come out in Dallas or anywhere really, you’re going to spend money. It all adds up pretty fast as we were there for 3 hours + and I never rushed to leave. 5-Star night. Great service and speed. Great location.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta, and it was incredibly delicious! The live concert added to the great atmosphere, making it a perfect evening with friends. Highly recommended!

THE BEST LIVE MUSIC 🎶🎵🎶🎵 and Creole food!!! Everything is delicious 😋, you can't go wrong! They do live music EVERYDAY til 2am they start early evening like 5 or 6 probably. If you get there after 7 or 8 the charge $10 to get in. Great music ALL NIGHT and nice patio to sit outside, many tables and seats to sit. The bar STAYS LIT and packed but you'll get served just be patient and dance while you're waiting.

The food is good. I got the shrimp, 1 Bud Light and a water, more customers and fewer waiters, and service is slow do to this. I recommend getting more waiters, and this will be a great spot. The live stage performance was entertaining! I recommend swinging by and getting your own experience!

Fun and eclectic bar with delicious food. I ordered the blackened shrimp with dirty rice. Love music in the evenings. I would definitely come back here again.

3.25.23 If you're looking for live music, jazz, a chill atmosphere, some delicious Cajun food, then I recommend this spot. Live music till 2am. The music is pretty loud so just know that it's hard to carry a conversation. In between band sets, there's a variety of R&B music. The band does engage the audience with clapping, singing, dancing. There's a little bit of dancing by patrons as the night goes on and in between sets. I sat indoors but it's wide open so as the night chilled, it would have been good to bring a sweater. I was a little cold after midnight. There is a patio and bar seating as well. I'm allergic to shrimp. And if you don't eat pork/sausage, there's limited menu options. They made a delicious veggie pasta and the crawfish etouffee had a nice kick. The fried pickles were tasty with a great crunch, not too greasy. Their cheesecake was smooth and very good; and I'm not even a fan of cheesecake. Nearby Meter parking charges till midnight Monday through Saturday through an app, otherwise the nearby parking garage option was $25. There's also a nearby parking lot under the highway, cost unknown. Budget enough time to find parking because it could take 15-30 minutes or more. Cover charge was $10. Dinner ran about $20-25 per entree. Check it out and I hope you have a great time!

I like the free man. I always have fun here. First time ordering food and had the red beans and rice. It’s too spicy to enjoy but the cornbread was very good. The bartender was kind enough to remove it from my bill without asking. She noticed it barely at it so she took the initiative to just remove it. The band was really good. I’d recommend and go again

My 2nd time visiting this establishment and it was a vibe both times. They have two sides that plays live music.The live bands are great. The food is good. Great customer service, a little slow with taking orders or being served but its expected when you have alot of people and two bar tenders servicing drinks. Mature crowed which I LOVE. I recommend to check it out. I will be back.
