D&L's Cajun Kitchen

Just outstanding soul food. Came out for the Bama-A&M game, and love to try places like this. The meatballs with sides was enough for two, but we added on a pint of gumbo to be sure. It was all amazing. The cornbread dressing was excellent, and just a bit spicy. The okra was also delicious. Now to the main courses, there were two meatballs, almost the size of grapefruits, and covered in a fantastic gravy. The pint of sausage and chicken gumbo was also wonderful, nicely spiced, and with plenty of white rice to bring it home. We are only in Houston about every other year but it will be difficult to pass up another meal here!

This was second time visiting D&L's. The first time I had oxtails, so I decided to try something different -- the Turkey wing plate with rice, collard greens, green beans, & a side of yams. The yams were so-so, green beans were a Go, and the collards were flavorful...hot sauce made them pop. Now idk if they have to ration out small scoops of the Turkey wing gravy, but I wanted & needed a bit more. I live kinda far, so by the time I got home my rice soaked up all that wing gravy & my wing was a bit parched. I still ate it though lol. Overall, I'd go back... but I'll just get the oxtails again. Staff was pleasant & reminds me of mom & pop shops back home. The other guests in line reminded me of like community aunties & uncles from back home too. It was nice visit a place not so trendy with a comfortable vibe.

Had to dip to the "hood" and try out this new spot (new to us).. Yall already know the best food be in the hood..and this place lives up to the standard. Good flavor decent price and nice portions.. Made to order platters and Little Steam Table dinners.. nice variety of options from fried fish and shrimp to ox tails...will definitely be back.

I wish they would serve smothered pork chops every day and maybe answer the phone so I can know what they have other than that delicious food

Damn good! They delivered and it was more than I could consume. Damn good turkey too. I'm on total favor of supporting black owned business and so should ypu.

The young lady was nice and helpful. The food has great texture, seasoning and temperature. This flavorful food was so spot on, it had my taste buds dancing. D & L's Cajun Kitchen, is a little hidden gem in NE Houston, and my new soul food go to spot.I ordered the oxtails over rice, green beans, and broccoli casserole. It was great!

The service is absolutely fantastic! Everybody is friendly, helpful and patient with us new comers. You can taste every thing before you make a final decision and everything is home cooked. The price may seem high but the portions are more then generous. One plate feed both me and partner and we both were full. I will be returning and recommending.

Great home cooked food. Had the oxtail plate with yams and greens. Greens just needed more seasoning. Friendly service. Me and my husband was able to share one plate so great portion sizes. Will revisit again

Food... 3 StarsCustomer Service... 5 Stars I absolutely loved the people working here at D&L's.EVERYONE was friendly and extremely helpful. As for the food I came late in the day and to be honest the food was overcooked and salty.But that's what I get for showing up a half hour before they close.Would I return? MOST DEFINITELY Would I recommend? MOST DEFINITELY YELPERS and foodies alike definitely try out D&L's for first rate customer service and home made authentic soul food.So let it be written... So let it be EATEN.

If you're hungry, and don't have a lot of money, D & L's Cajun kitchen it's just a place for you. It is a sort of a combination of soul food and Cajun cooking. This restaurant with plenty of dining seating is bound to have something that you will find appealing and filling. They have a small steam table with the usual suspects of a good soul, food restaurant - oxtails, turkey wings, collard greens, rice, gravy, mac & cheese, etc. Then at a separate location they will fry you fish, shrimp, boudin or whatever you want. As an added bonus they offer on Friday and Saturdays pork Cracklin as good as what I get in Louisiana. So again if you looking to fill up without emptying your pockets, this is a very good choice.
