This was the worst experience ever. Red beans and rice was not that. Was actually chili and chilli beans. Green beans were over cooked and not seasoned. Pork chops were as thin as paper. Was more breading than Pork or chop. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great food, great prices!! I will definitely be back when I have my Cajun tongue! The chicken Cajun pasta is to die for!! Best I have ever had! Nice atmosphere to dine in. Customer service is A1. Only reason for 4 stars is was a bit spicy for my tastes…maybe that is the true Cajun experience!

I really wanted to enjoy this place. After planning to come for quite some time I finally made it. I ordered the shrimp Cajun pasta and the chicken tenders and fries for my son. The pasta was not good at all and luckily I never give my son food without checking it first. The chicken was literally RAW inside to my horror!! Needless to say I won’t be back.

In full disclosure: I’m not a fan of spicy food and I haven’t tried their catfish yet.
I’ve stopped by a few different times and every time I walk away, it’s just meh.
As someone with no culinary knowledge of Cajun (beyond Yats which I love!) I get completely confused with the difference between jambalaya and gumbo etc. So far the waitresses have been friendly, but not very helpful with the differentiating discriptions.
I’ve tried the chicken and sausage jambalaya(?)- Eh, not too spicy, but not much going on either.
I’ve also tried the chicken strips- perfect amount of breading and very juicy chicken, the seasoning was a little overbearing and pulled away from the well cooked chicken but overall a good choice.
I’ve heard their beignets are delicious but with Wyliepalooza next door I can’t resist.
I’m still open to trying a Po boy and seeing if the flavors will win me, but so far with the menu choices ranging between $10-15 there is nothing special bringing me back.

Chef Dan’s catered our outdoor wedding party. It was perfect!
Allison was very easy to work with putting together the menu and logistics. Price was reasonable. Food was great. Everyone at the event had nothing but good things to say.
I would use them again, and am looking forward to getting a chicken sandwich next time I see the truck.

The Mac & Cheese is Godlike. Also, I am a big fan of good fried catfish. Chef Dan has the best in the state. Southern Soul Food at its finest. It’s priced reasonable. And if you can’t get here, try hitting up the food truck!

If you’re looking for a heapin’ helpin’ of comfort food, look no further! I have loved everything I’ve had from Chef Dan’s: chicken sandwich, jumbo shrimp, brisket sandwich, mac & cheese, fries, mashed potatoes, jambalaya, and bread pudding.
Their chicken sandwich is the best in town. They take the time to pound the chicken so it covers the whole bun and the breading is outstanding. Speaking of breading: the shrimp is fantastic! I did not expect to get perfectly breaded, crispy, crunchy, shrimp out of a food truck.
Their mac & cheese is great. I am so tired of people raving about gloppy, greasy, grainy, mac & cheese. That is not what you’ll find at Chef Dan’s…I’m pretty sure it’s half gooey cheese and half macaroni.
I don’t normally get down with bread pudding; but, theirs is lovely. I like that it is baked in a shallow pan; so, it is not soggy like a lot of puddings I’ve tasted. The blend of spices and caramel sauce are incredible.
Lastly, you will not be judged if you want to get mac & cheese and mashed potatoes as your sides. Thank you, Allison, for enabling my consumption of delicious carbohydrates!

Updated review: We still love chef dans! It looks like they are updating/condensing their menu in the new year and both our favorite things aren’t in the new menu. Bummer! But maybe an opportunity to try new things (and visit many times this month to get our fill).
The catfish dinner with red beans and rice and okra is so good. Two big pieces of catfish come with the dinner. Last night it was the special so we got an ice tea and a banana pudding-yum! The fried aura at chef dans is the best I’ve ever had anywhere, move over Cracker Barrel! The Cajun penne pasta is one of my favorite pasta dishes ever (this is big). It comes out cheesy, warm, and is awesome with the chicken.
Friendly and homey environment if you eat in, but costumers primarily carry out.

Man I love this place. I have yet to try something that I did not like. Their food truck is worth it, too. I used to hate coleslaw but Chef Dan’s coleslaw has changed my mind. Their catering service is great. My company uses them frequently and it’s always a delightful experience.
