Owner Dave Saylor and I with the best catfish plate on the planet.
I love Acadiana Cafe. That is my response to someone asking me "where do I find the best Cajun food in town?" It's an easy answer for me. I do it with pride. I myself being from Louisiana can not turn down an invite to Acadiana. It's a Cajun Paradise on San Antonio's Westside. It's an Alamo City Food Landmark, and my family loves the place.
Acadiana Cafe has something for everyone. They had fried pickles before any other restaurant. Their other appetizers are great. My personal favorite are the Cajun Nachos. Nachos with sausage and crawfish make me a happy man. The menu is very diverse and still Cajun. The item Acadiana is known for is their catfish, and you will not find any place that does it better. The catfish is perfectly battered, perfectly portioned, and goes great with what my Dad calls the best cornbread in the world. I prefer the hush puppies, but the cornbread is great. I also love Frenchie's Steak. Seasoned just right, and goes great with a baked potato. They also have Po-Boys, salads, seafood plates with big helpings of shrimp, country fried steak, chicken n dumplins, crawfish, gator nuggets, and gumbo. And let us not forget the delicious jambalaya and sausage. Absolutely one of the best menus in town.
Acadiana Cafe makes you feel like you are at home. The wait staff is very friendly, and owner Dave Saylor is known to come out of the kitchen and chat it up with patrons. My father worked part time there as a maintenance man . He always talked about how everyone there was so friendly. And that is something that gets lost in dining. Acadiana is the shining example on how you give a wonderful dining experience. It is a great place for any occasion. It is my family's go to restaurant for birthdays and celebrations. No second guessing, Acadiana is always the only option.
In closing, I would like to say that Acadiana Cafe is the heavyweight champion of Cajun restaurants. I have been to many Cajun eateries, and hands down Acadiana is the best. They have special menus for kids and older diners. You could order great desserts like bread pudding and peach cobbler. You get service with a smile, and the feeling you need to come back again. It holds a place in my heart. If you give it a try, it will hold a place in yours. And tell Dave John sent you.
