Dodie's Reef

If you're in the mood for some Lower Greenville vibes, Dodies's is fun. This cajun sports bar makes for a memorable drinking setting. Beer and gumbo? Yes, without equivocation. Oysters Rockefeller too, if they're your thing. An aside, wish the old Grape was still across the street. That was my absolute favorite restaurant in Dallas.

A sports bar with a cajun inspired menu. There are 3 levels. Outside patio and inside bar with booths and tables. 2nd floor has high tables and chairs. The next level is the roof. Big screens everywhere with the important teams on. The service was lively and friendly. Talented bartenders made anything we wanted. I was very comfortable and could have stayed a lot longer if I didn't have plans. Take a friend and catch the game!

How does this place have anything less than 4 or 5 stars. My experience was superb. My food and service were both great. It's for sure not a fancy place. Which leads me to my next deiscussiom. I'm kind of conflicted because place has a serious sports bar vibe. Yet their food says otherwise. I'm not mad or anything, but maybe that explains the rating. Don't let that shy you away from the food.So I had to ask the waitress, what's the deal. What makes people wanna give them bad reviews. And it all makes sense. They are so cool they pack out the place during events and etc. From my experience, trying to please party people can get tricky and intense

Food is phenomenal! So good and flavorful. My favorite are the dodie oysters. It's a must a get them at least once a week. My friend had the blackened seafood nachos. They were piled with meat and delicious. Spinach and artichoke dip very tasty. Service is okay. Ambiance is good. Wish they would cover the hot sauces though! Most of them don't have lids. Love this place

Great food and great service. We went on a football Sunday evening to watch the game and got the pasta with shrimp and the blackened redfish meal and it was DELICIOUS. also service tonight was amazing from start to finish. We will be back! :)

What a great time! We met Eric, the owner as of a year and a half ago, one night and had a great time so we came back the next night with the whole family for dinner. You can tell he's put a lot of work into the place. They were very attentive and checked on us regularly and easily moved two tables together for the eight of us. We ordered a ton of food but didn't take enough pictures (still new to the yelp game). The deviled eggs, fried alligator, and blooming onion were our appetizers and we loved them all. Our favorite dishes were the burger, pork chops (pictured), jambalaya, and catfish po boy. The Cajun fries have perfect seasoning. Music is fun, TONS of TVs, and near a bunch of other bars for hopping afterwards. Definitely would come back if in Dallas again.

Energy was Great Good was perfect will definitely be coming again with friendsThe music an vibe was definitely Interesting apart service was fast and the waiters where polite

Sales Rep brought in lunch from Dodie's Reef. How in the world does a Creole/ Cajun restaurant screw up a damn PO' BOY so badly?! By serving it with no dressing. Well, I guess a little old, wilty lettuce is an attempt at dressing (see pics). Terrible job, Dodie's!

Oysters were 7/10. Very disappointed that they didn't have any happy hour specials. Even $1 off would draw in a crowd.

The GM told me and my boyfriend our IDs were fake and threatened to take them at the door... they are real IDs and we are 21 and 23. He was very rude, so we will definitely not be going back. There was also not a single person inside at 10pm on a Saturday night, so maybe it was for the best.
