Damian's Cajun Soul Cafe

Dallas & the Panhandle Plains


It's not much to look at from the outside (ie it's a dive), but at Damian's it's what's inside that counts. The Cajun fare is good and spicy. Many drive miles just for the pork chops, catfish and macaroni and cheese. It pays to visit early as popular items sell out.
