Literally award wining gumbo (he won the Dallas gumbo challenge today) we got multiple appetizers to try all amazing . And I opted to customize blackened catfish. And added a Cajun sauce and shrimp on top. Cajun cowboy was soo good also!!
The appetizers? Absolute MVPs. The gator balls were small but mighty—packed with flavor and gone in about three bites. The boudin egg rolls? No notes. They understood the assignment and executed beautifully.
Then the main courses came out and suddenly everything went foosball is the devil downhill.
The gumbo was so salty I’m pretty sure my blood pressure stood up and walked out. The fried oysters had a mysterious “what am I tasting?” vibe that I couldn’t solve and didn’t want to. And the shrimp and grits… listen, I wanted to love it, but it just didn’t do it for me. Zero spark. No chemistry. We’re just friends.
I’m honestly confused by some of the previous rave reviews. Either I came on an off night or some folks haven’t been baptized in the holy waters of a truly great Cajun spot. Bobby Boucher would’ve taken one bite of that gumbo and said, “That ain’t right.”
Overall: great starters, disappointing mains, and a meal that started like a touchdown drive and ended in a turnover. I’d come back for apps and drinks… but the entrées might need a visit from Mama Boucher to set things straight.
We tried a bit of everything, including dessert…the bread pudding is the best ever! The catfish was hot plump and delicious, no fishy taste and the fried oysters were perfect! The fried green tomatoes were just as I had hoped! The owner is a delight and it was so nice to get to speak to him about his restaurant and his passion in cajun cuisine. We found out that he has won numerous state fair food creation awards and well that in itself is pretty cool! He was so helpful and I can’t say enough awesome things about this restaurant…you must try it, he offers other cuisine options as well including sandwiches, salads, burger, chicken fried steak etc. And since it is a scratch kitchen your dish can be tweaked to your liking! We will most definitely be back!
Now let’s talk about the food — the fish was superb! Fresh, perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and seasoned just right. You can tell care and pride go into the food. Every bite was delicious.
If you’re craving great Cajun flavor with top-tier customer service, this is definitely the place to go. I’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend Mr. Lively Cajun Konnection to anyone looking for quality food and a great experience.
The owner Kevin, is absolutely amazing! He is such a sweetheart down to earth & friendly.
We will definitely be back!
