Danni’s New Orleans Eatery, Home of All Authentic Menu — Restaurant in Sherman

How is Sherman gonna sleep on this place?! The audacity! Ok so first, it's a down home hole in the wall place heavy on the New Orleans atmosphere. If you've been to New Orleans this will feel familiar. Bathroom is small but there are thoughtful touches such as a folding changing table for babies (you can tell women run this business 🖤) We sat at a comfy bar height table and chairs right in the front window and it was perfect. Now the food... y'all, the FOOD...🤌🏻 So as other reviews mention, it's a little pricey but it's seafood we're dealing with people...you want good seafood that's fresh all the way up here in North Texas then you have to pay a little bit for it. My husband and I split a dish called "Deep Dirty South" and let me just say that I hurt myself ok? It's that damn good. It's dirty rice, with a crab cake on top, a fried fish fillet on top of that and then smothered with crawfish etouffee. It's perfection ✨ We also got the gator bites and y'all that sauce she gives you to dip them in is amazing. Something else that was different that I loooved was when you get a drink it comes in a glass mug and instead of a bunch of ice chips that float all around and melt too fast and aways get in the way when you drink, they use one big cube of ice that perfectly fit in the mug. So cool. I didn't catch the name of the amazing lady working in there but she was awesome and they made us feel like family. They kept hollering goodbye and come back to see us as we left. I can't wait to go back! Definitely a new favorite...

There are times when it's appropriate to pay $20 for a pasta dish. There are even times when it's appropriate to wait over an hour from the time you order for your food.

However, the Mississippi Pasta I ordered (and ended up having to ask for to-go because we had to wait over an hour and needed to return to work) was not worth its $20 price tag. The farfalle pasta was overcooked, and the chef was parsimonious with the sauce. I will say, the sauce was delicious. Had good flavor and a tasty heat to it. Unfortunately, there was neither enough sauce nor enough over cooked pasta to make it a full lunch. Speaking of over-cooked, the majority of chicken chunks on my plate were tough, dry and lacking... I don't know, substance? Now, I know, you might be sayin', "man, he's going pretty hard on this meal." But remember, my level of critique is warranted as the dish cost $20 and took close to an hour and a half to receive.

Moreover, the menu promised me crumbled bacon garnish and a side of garlic bread with my chicken pasta. However, upon opening my to-go container, I found I was missing both.

In sum, I will not be returning and the food was not worth the wait or the price tag. Perhaps this is a good joint to hangout if you have 3 hours to sit have a few beverages and wait for your food. It is not, however, a good lunch spot for some...

I've wanted to try this place since Google Maps suggested it to me a month ago. I read all the reviews & was so ready. Friday night, my husband & I decided to go. We got there around 7pm. We ordered the everything platter, to share with 2 side salads. After more than half an hour, we asked if we could get our salads and were told they were being made. We finally get the platter with 2 forks at 8:30. We had to ask for tartar & cocktail sauce, napkins & where are our salads? The catfish & crawfish were good. Everything else was way over done & so salty. My husband gagged when he cut into the tilapia & said it was too fishy smelling for him. I had taken 1 bite of it & thought the same thing, so I took another bite to make sure & yeah, too fishy. The shrimp was burnt, chewy & too salty. The oysters had a weird taste as well. Now, I really, really want to love this place, but as soon as I got home I had explosive diarrhea. Then again. Its Sunday night now, & I've had it all weekend. My husband too, but not as bad. I should mention that I hadn't eaten all day Friday, so it definitely was not something I ate elsewhere. So, like I said, I really, really want to love it, so maybe in a few weeks I'm going back to try again. I need shrimp etouffee. Our server was actually terrible, and it...
