What customers say?

“ And anytime I see a place on Google that has a 4.9, that is a spot that I definitely want to check out. And Cajun Belle did not disappoint. I had the jambalaya and the boudin balls and for dessert I had a strawberry kolache. Everything was awesome. I wish the jambalaya had a little bit more heat, but overall it was excellent. The strawberry kolache was unbelievable. My only minor complaint is the do not have any inside seating. Everything is to go, through their drive-through window. I hope they explore having seating in the future. Either way I’ll definitely be back. ”

“ If you’re looking for a good Po’boy or a good fried seafood spot this is the spot! The BEST po’ boy I’ve had. My friend got their catfish plate and the fish was nice thick pieces definitely worth your money. The fries were some of the best seasoned fries I’ve ever had, everything was made to order and the customer service was 10/10 the owner came to the window to talk to us which I thought was awesome and the person taking our order was helpful with the menu as soon as we pulled up we didn’t even need to ask for help. Definitely give this small owed business a try you will not regret it 100/10 ”

“ I've been wanting to try this place and thought it was far but it's right off the freeway. The service was very pleasant! I was surprised that there were more menu items upon pulling up. The online menu didn't have gumbo or jambalaya so we will definitely have to come back and try those. The po boy breads were cooked perfectly. There was a sauce on there that was so yummy! The boudin and sausage is where it's at ! I never had boudin or kolaches. Bring yourself outside the box and try it :) Edit: he read my review and updated the website to match available foods! ”

“ This place really reminds me of home. The fried catfish was amazing and the hushpuppies remind me of my family. Great food, and the owner was such a sweetie. If you’re from Texas and in the area, I would highly recommend this place. ”

- Morgan Deets -

“ I literally heard about this place this evening and went right before they closed! I am PISSED!! Pissed I didn’t hear about this place sooner! Like how???? Me and my boyfriend have said “this is so good” at least 16 times while eating. This place just canceled literally EVERY other restaurant out the game for us. They are going to get tired of seeing our faces because I already can’t wait to go back. I will be telling everyone about this food. They nailed it in all areas. We needed an authentic soul food place around here and I’m so glad we found it. 10/10 do recommend! ”

“ I am glad we don’t live close or we’d spend WAY too much here!! It was wonderful. To be more specific; the strawberry cheesecake kolache was creamy and decadent, hush puppies were the best I’ve ever put in my mouth, and fried catfish was some of the best in the Midwest. We didn’t love the Cajun Belle Kolache (little too much rice for us), but that will not stop us from coming back to try even more! If you want a scenic spot to eat while your food cools a little bit, head to the Saylorville Spillway. ”

- Brookelyn Schlawin -

“ We need more fast food restaurants like this in this country. Im so sick of the pop up chain fast food spots! Id eat here every day of the week! Fresh food. Freshly cooked. Can you ask for anything better? ”
