Damian's Cajun Soul Cafe

The staff was pleasant. The place was clean. There was hand sanitizer at each table. The fish was outstanding and so were all he hush puppies. 10/10 recommend.

Idk about this place. The food is good but the service is bad. Women are just rude for no reason. The food tasted great but you have to pay online with cc. Then when you comeIn you have to have the card on you. That's dumb. I paid for it already. Stop trying to fight crime and keep the food coming. I would go back but on a day I am not so easily annoyed by rudeness and the extra stuff they got goin on.

I haven't been to Damian's in several years, since they were right off of 360. I tried them again today and it was very different from what I remember. Rice & Gravy - 9/10 very good but too spicyMac n cheese - 7/10 good, but way too spicy todayGreens - 2/10 they had a weird smell & taste, maybe vinegar, and again TOO SPICYCandied yams - 7/10 and though it sounds weird, those were a bit spicy, tooCornbread - 10/10 sweet and buttery, just like I like itService was ok. The lady that made my plate would ask me a question, I'd answer, then she'd start talking to someone else. Then she'd look at me with her eyebrows up like she was still waiting on an answer. The person who checked me out was very pleasant and attentive.

I've had this restaurant bookmarked for a lil while and was hungry one day so I figured why not try Damian's.Damian's get a good hard 3 stars. The service was speedy just like I like it.Food here is good. The fish here has some sort of specialty seasoning on it which is tasty and is a decent size. After awhile the seasoning became a little overwhelming, but overall it was good. The fries were basic with the same type of seasoning on it as the fish. The fries didn't taste like they were freshly cut, but still good. The greens had a delicious flavor to them. However, they were overcooked. Overall, I'd actually visit Damian's again for the fast service and fish that was hot, freshly fried, and was decently priced.

So sad to say I don't have pics I dug right into the meal so my fault for that. This is a customer service based review because the customer service was amazing. I felt like I was at a friends house chilling. The man Damian himself was there and the guy is as cool as you can be on a Sunday. What a great vibe the place had. I got the rib plate with red beans and rice and yams. So now on to the food. I enjoyed the fried ribs they were big juicy tender and seasoned well. They were the star of the meal. The red beans and rice was a no for me it tasted like a Zatarans powder mix or something it was mostly brown gravy no beans no sausage no seasonings. The yams were not for me as well very watery thin consistency not like I like my yams and the Mac and cheese was decent. I like the seasoning mixed into the Mac and cheese although a bit overpowering it was still good. The cake I got at the register was good it was a pound cake with a caramel glaze very delicious. Overall Damian's is a decent place for some good food. Is it the best? Naw. Is it the worst? Not by a long shot. I would actually visit again but I would just get an entree.

We decided to grab some lunch before heading home after a Cowboys game, and we settled on Damian's.I wanted the smothered oxtails, but decided on fried ribs once I got to the serving area. They were AMAZING, and they gave us so much food.My husband got Salisbury steak, which wasn't his fave...but he really enjoyed the red beans and rice and mac and cheese. I got the ribs which were everyone's fave. They came with rice and brown gravy, and two side. The brown gravy tasted like the powdered mix to me, but you better believe I ate it...I didn't love the cabbage, it was a little bland, BUT, the collard greens were bomb!My pals got catfish and seemed to enjoy that as well, it was fresh and cooked to order. They also really loved the vanilla pound cake.Damian was up front with the crew serving, and by the patrons, it looks like it's a local fave. Was also really impressed with the lady at the register. She was helpful and service was top notch!

Best food in Arlington, hands down!! If you are seeking out Southern Soulfood or Cajun flavors, look no further!! Damians never disappoints. 2 of the Sundays specials for 12/3/23 are their Slow Smoked Ribeyes and brisket. I choose the must-have sides, the cabbage, and the mac n cheese. Large portions and both come with 2 sides along with complimentary rice n gravy. They also have the best Peach Cobbler, topped with candied pecans. I highly recommend Thursdays Rib plate and Meatloaf. You can purchase separately or as a combo and/or Sundays specials, which normally include but are not limited to Smoked or smothered Oxtails, ribs, Ribeyes and Brisket.

Good food! Everything was good and flavorful(except the cabbage) but the best thing that we had was the oxtails even though I neglected to get a picture of it. The young lady that was working behind the counter could use some customer service tips but Mr. Damian himself was nothing shy of amazing! He came out and greeted us, made sure that we liked our food, and even took a picture with us, as we were out of state visitors.

Food was cold and stale. We tried to eat it but couldn't so we threw it away and left. The reviews were definitely wrong.

Customer service is good. Food doesn't give authentic Cajun food. I had the fried rib with red beans, dirty rice, corn bread and a side of gumbo.This was the worse gumbo i ever had being from Louisiana. Cornbread was too sweet, red beans had no taste and was just spicy (Popeyes red beans are better) dirty rice blend, and ribs had a sweet taste as well. I'm from Louisiana and it doesn't give Louisiana. This food was not worth the $26 i spent.
