The Free Man Cajun Cafe & Lounge

Samone the partner was great. Very knowledgeable and attentive. We just had a drink and appetizer. I've never seen a blackened shrimp cocktail, but it was great. Warn, blackened shrimp on a martini glass, with a BBQ type cocktail sauce. They have 2 types of Abida on draft and a pretty good hurricane.

A rare gem pairing classic southern comfort food with nightly local R&B artists for a rich, soulful entertainment experience. Many of the reviewers here have griped about the 20% gratuity. There is no cover / ticket fee for the live music, which is likely why they have a gratuity charge to pay their musicians. If you aren’t willing to pay for great live music, quit your griping and go to any boring chain restaurant instead 😂

Ri Ri and Leticia were amazing! Great bartenders, great conversation and a great vibe! Came in at 3 and stayed til 8 to catch the live music! Thank you all for making my experience great!!! Those fried pickles were the best I’ve ever had!

The most fun restaurant you can find in Dallas!! The band is absolutely amazing. The highlight was their rendition of Let's go crazy!! Really nice folks here, had an amazing time.

This was my first time coming here, and honestly, I felt welcomed before I even walked inside. I came to celebrate my 26th birthday, and let me just say — everything was amazing! From the food and the people to the music and the vibe, I loved every bit of it. I’m a big music person, and they definitely did not disappoint. I really appreciated how everyone was able to just enjoy themselves and have a good time. Overall, it was such a beautiful experience, and I’ll for sure be coming back. Big shoutout to the band for wishing me a happy birthday and to Bre — hands down the best server — who made sure I was taken care of and gave great recommendations. If you love music and good energy like me, this is the spot to check out. I had such a great time, and I truly needed this. Thank you! ❤️

Truly phenomenal. Every time I go it just gets better. I’ve tried something new every visit and haven’t had anything less than delicious. Great drinks, great vibes, great service.

The atmosphere is pretty cool when the live band is in house. The drinks take for freaking ever to come out; food takes even longer; DO NOT COME HERE HUNGRY OR EXPECTING FOOD QUICKLY!!! Waiter staff is friendly and cups of water taste like dirt...DO NOT GET WATER!!! Sneak your own in. All in all im being friendly with the 3 stars and probably should be a 2 but music is pretty good depending on who is here and so bc of that at least you can enjoy that part of it...GOOD LUCK!!!
