Social Profile:

Cocodrie’s Bayou Kitchen in North Richland Hills brings over 100 years of South Louisiana seafood tradition to your table. Rooted in the Gulf’s fishing legacy, our family started by serving shrimp boats and grew into the largest oyster and shrimp canning company in the U.S. Today, we still unload fresh Gulf shrimp in Dulac, Louisiana — the same boats, same pride. Named after the laid-back fishing town of Cocodrie, our kitchen celebrates bayou culture with bold, coastal flavors and recipes passed down through generations. From crawfish boils to camp-style platters, every dish feels like home. Come eat like you’re at the camp — you’re family here.

Really good spot over in NRH!! Really cool staff, and evem better food! Ive never had a crawfish queso that floored me! The texture of the crawfish combined with the queso was unmatched amywhere else! We had crawfish that was clean and full of flavor. Definitely recommend the garlic butter to add. Lots of other food options that we look forward to trying out. They also have a freezer area with meats and some prepped meals!

I’ve been waiting for an authentic Cajun restaurant to hit ftw. I have fam that live in New Orleans area, and I can honestly say that Cocodries is authentic Cajun food. Soooo delish. Can’t wait to try everything they have to offer. Love that the Owner himself came out and literally had conversations with the very table and the wait staff was friendly and cut up with you. Made you feel at home. Exactly what Cajun peeps are about. I def will be back .

Stopped in at Cocodrie’s last night for dinner. We were greeted by a sign instructing us to order at the counter. I noticed they had some merchandise and frozen Gulf products, along with plenty of room. The good Cajun bayou music really produced a comfortable vibe.
The lady at the counter was very friendly with a beautiful smile. I was digging this feel already. We placed our order: one Catfish Basket and one Shrimp Basket. Grabbed our drinks and found a table. A few minutes later, our food came out. They accidentally served my wife fried okra instead of fries. She has no taste for that at all, and unfortunately, by the time the fries arrived, we were basically done.
My catfish came in strips. My wife said the shrimp was very good. Also, the fries were cooked fresh and were plenty hot.
A really fun and good experience all the way around, except for the mistake on the order—otherwise, easily 4 stars.

Growing up in Galveston I know crawfish, this place hands down is actually better than restaurants in Galveston/ Houston that specialize in crawfish/ Cajun food! The owner is from Holmes Louisiana & it shows from the crawfish, boudin shrimp balls, gator to the gumbo, THE FOOD IS FRESH AND DEFINITELY Louisiana style!!! We will be back!!! I’ve told everyone I know about this place! You don’t have to go south or to Louisiana for true authentic Cajun food, it’s HERE!!!! Thank you for bringing your home cooking to us here in Ft Worth for us to enjoy!!!!! Atmosphere was amazing as well! Fun environment!!!

Service was great. You order at the counter and then go to your table where the food is delivered to you.
We did order a starter but everything came it together. It was super busy so I’m sure it was just missed to bring it out first.

We ordered the boudin ball dip, kitchen sink and the fish of the day special, blackened. We loved the dip but didn’t care for the fried bow tie pasta that came with it as it was super hard to eat.

The blackened red fish was the highlight of both the kitchen sink and fish special. The kitchen sink in my opinion is a must try for the first time. It has all of the traditional items included fried shrimp, boudin ball and étouffée.

The fries that came with the fish special were good but needed either a special seasoning or dipping sauce to make them something I would order again.

The hush puppies were light and fluffy and delicious.

We will definitely be back to try the Poboys and gumbo because they looked amazing!

What an amazing add to the area!

This place hands down the best Cajun and crawfish I had in the West-o-Plex. I’ve gone a few times since a few weeks after they opened I have not had one thing that wasn’t ridiculously good. Of it stays this way they are in for the long haul.

Went back fat Tuesday and they got rocked, but never buried their heads in the sands. They killed it. People had to wait because it was backed but I didn’t hear one person complain once they tried the food

If you don’t order the boudin egg rolls I feel sorry for you

We tried Cocodrie’s for lunch and it was amazing. Amazing and authentic flavors! Don’t let the price point scare you as the portions are large. We tried the combo basket with shrimp, catfish, hush puppies, and fried okra (this basket was alot of food), the hot smoked boudin dip with the crispy bowtie pasta for the dipping chips, the shrimp and jalapeno boudin balls, and a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo (yes cup! see the picture). They serve wine and beer, as well as a couple frozen drinks. Everything was great. Just a side note, this is not full service. You order then sit down. Food is made fresh and brought to you. They have a small merch area up front with some shirts and caps, sauces and seasonings, and frozen authentic cajun foods for take out to cook at home.

I lived on the West Bank while stationed in NOLA for a number of years and have not had cajun food as good as Cocodrie’s since I left. The staff are so sweet and helpful. The pricing is amazing and bebe let me tell you about the food!! I got the Kitchen Sink which is jambalaya with a blackened reddish on top with fried shrimp and a boudin ball. This was the BEST fish I’ve ever had in my life! My daughter got the seafood gumbo and, it too, was amazing. My son got the Gator PoBoy and said he could eat it everyday. Absolutely everything was delicious. We will definitely be back! Shout out to the owners! You’re doing it right!!

Cocodrie’s Bayou Kitchen is a new gem in NRH! The decor is cool and give the place an inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredible, everyone was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care making it an enjoyable experience. The owner is genuine and friendly, he did what he could to add a personal touch that makes you feel right at home.

The food was nothing short of delicious. I ordered the Alligator Basket, which came with crispy fries. The highlight was the Gator Curry dipping sauce, which had incredible flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Cajun spot will too. I will definitely be returning often!

I saw two one star ratings: one from someone not wanting to pay when they ordered which just seems silly. The other for the cost which the reviewer listed as $10 – $20 per person. You can spend > $10.00 at a fast food joint. So the place should objectively have a five star rating as I am writing this.

UPDATE: I went back for the Jambalaya and it did not disappoint.

Cajun cuisine that is authentic.
NRH has a winner with this restaurant.

The ordering process begins at the counter.
Above the cashier large backlit signs facilitate quick selections.

We were greeted by the owner Jesse Gibson.
His warm smile and welcoming spirit adds to the experience.

He was very helpful in explaining the menu choices and terrific suggestions made a difference on our first visit.

The staff is very attentive and friendly.

Started with the Shrimp & Okra Gumbo
With rice.

A second Gumbo with rice and potato salad was very tasty.

Shrimp & Jalapeno Boudin Balls are a must.

Oyster basket with hush puppies was a nice addition.

Already planning our next epicurean delight!

Those of us with real Louisiana roots can attest to the accuracy of his recipes.

My one request is to add a location in Plano ( closer to me ).

I highly recommend this restaurant.

Add this to the top of your must try list.

See you there
