Coming from Houston, I guess we are spoiled because we're used to fresh, tasty cajun food in a relaxed, hole in the wall atmosphtere. That is what we were looking for when we saw Shoal Creek Saloon. This was defintely a hole in the wall atmosphere, but neither the staff nor the customers seemed to be kicked back or jovial, not to mention it was not very family friendly. Very few people in the place seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food tasted OK, but the portions for the price were quite small. We might have enjoyed ourselves more on the deck outside, but it was quite crowded, and unlike the Rajun Cajun where you have long tables with multiple groups sharing a table, you had one individual taking up a whole table and not sharing while other people are waiting to sit. Just not a fun place at all. Also, parking is a challenge. We definitely won't be back.
Pros: Authentic cajun food, hole in the wall
Cons: Uptight, small portions for price, not family friendly
