Southern Classic Daiquiri Factory

Absolutely love this place! The food is always delicious and fresh, and the service never disappoints — everyone is friendly and welcoming. The daiquiris are off the chain — seriously some of the best I’ve had anywhere! I do miss when they had the live DJ, but they still keep the vibe going with great music and a fun atmosphere. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu (the pasta is my favorite!), and I’ve never been disappointed. Overall, it’s just a great spot to relax, eat, drink, and have a good time. Highly recommend!

I decided to check this place out since it was near my Airbnb. The customer service was excellent. The atmosphere was cool. The place was clean. The food was great. My favorite item out of all the ones I had were the hush puppies, catfish and meat pies. There was a crab meat kickers that I can’t remember the name of that was pretty good too. My daiquiri was yummy. Overall I would definitely visit again.

Very very well establishment ,great food great environment ! And customer service was amazing ! All THREE DAYS Loved the music See I live in Arlington and I have been downtown visiting a loved one and I have been eating here at this restaurant three days in a row ! Chicken wings fire!!!!! Crab kickers fire !!!! All three days !!! Great customer service and fresh good food !

I absolutely love this spot. It’s my go to place for comfort food. The quality is always on par. The flavor is great and the drinks are strong. Highly highly recommend.

Newnew was who serviced us when we came in and I just have to say that her hospitality, knowledge and service was outstanding. Wish we had more people like her in the food industry if I don’t come back for another pasta dish and Daquiri it will be for sure to see her and be taking care of after a long day of work. Thanks again to her.

First time here and it was a pleasure. The staff was nice and made sure to let me know there would be a wait as they had just opened. I waited about 20 mins. Daiquiri's are potent. The food was flavorful and cooked as requested. They have a chill vibe and plays good music.

Listen, go, have some great food, and have a great time. I wanted catfish and they did not disappoint! If I could have tried everything on the menu, I would have. The food and service were great and the daiquiris are strong! Strong strong! One medium sized one was all I needed. Everyone seemed to enjoy the party too which is all the time. I was in more of chill mood, so I sat outside, ate, enjoyed the atmosphere, and plethora of people going in and out. I must go here every time I visit Dallas!

Good food!! Still hot I just ate here last wk. The order today was over $95. The crawfish etoufee had rice mixed in. Last week the etoufee sat in top of a small amount of rice which was better. Don't cut corners on my dollar and presentation and amount of food. Too much rice easy way out of giving the food for the money spent. Won't be back. No that they care though.

This place is always a vibe!! My daughter and I always love it. We always treated with respect and it's always a VIBE in here!! The food is THE BOMB!! Makes me feel like I'm back home in Shreveport!! Definitely a place I come when I'm homesick!

Daiquiris are strong and delicious. The catfish is for real. The staff is always a vibe, friendly and helpful. Some of the best Cajun food. I'm a Louisiana native so trust me when I say, it's "BOOT" approved! Plenty of parking, music selection is golden. Order at the counter, sit back and relax.

Natchitoches Meat Pies, Baton Rouge Boudin Balls, Fried Catfish, Chicken Wings (Bourbon Sauce), Fries (no salt) and Red Beans & Rice $26 platter It's always good vibes when I stop by the Southern Classic Daiquiri Factory on Ross Avenue downtown Dallas. The young lady that was behind the bar, wiping down the tables, answering our every question, taking orders', and she was cleaning out the men's restroom in between juggling keeping a leveled head, and disposition. This Nubian Queen really was showing and proving how well balanced and multitasking we are in real time. Always a 10/10 when I dine in or take out. Try it for ya self.

The time management is off; atmosphere is everything if your workers seem off putting and yall not getting orders out.. we ordered 5 wings 5 shrimp side green beans and gumbo and it took 45 mins to get the order out to us and the wings were cold shrimp was good gumbo was good just confused on why it took 45 mins..

Daqs are on point, but I'm taking it down 2 stars because the last couple of times I've been and ordered wings/ fish, it's been entirely tooo salty!! Fries are extremely salty, too! I've experienced this with both regular and ranch flavored wings. I'll try other items and update my review as needed.

I would like to say that re re was the best food was even better the vibe was right right I like the place

supporting local black owned businesses is definitely a priority of mines, so naturally on juneteenth i popped into a few of my favorite spots! Southern Classic never EVER disappoints! Not with service, drinks, or food!! i ordered the the catfish basket + crinkle fries, catfish atchafalaya, green beans, thot juice & love potion. you order at the counter and they give you a number, so it's open seating. they are usually playing hip hop or r&b. while dining in, i have never felt overwhelmed with noise, but there is back room with tvs where the music sounds lower. one thing about an excellent catfish place, is how fresh the fish is and how hot it comes out. let me tell you, the food came out: hot, fresh, and crispy!! the catfish was fried to perfection!! it was definitely asmr worthy!! i love their daiquiris because the sugar isnt too overpowering. a lot of daiquiris are too sugary for me and i cant drink them, but the southern classic daqs are excellent . support an amazing black owned business in dallas, and check southern classic daiquiri factory

Enjoyed this chill relaxed spot. We couldn't decide on what to eat so ended up getting the platter to try and everything was good. The catfish was crispy how I like the wings were even good, kickin bourbon and spicy rub were mine. My favorite was the crawfish pies the red beans and rice was okay to me. Overall I keep going back for the daiquiris lolol. They are strong but not too strong more like sneak up on you and good

Maaaaan I will NEVER set foot in this place again! The dining area was leaking water, the staff wasn't friendly at all & my food wasn't prepared with my group (9 of us). I saw everyone else's food being brought to the table but not mine, I only had 2 items in my order. The saving grace was I was refunded my money & got my food, to go. The wings weren't crispy for my liking but the flavor of all the food was good.

The daiquiris are FIRE. I'm from La just moved to Dallas. We don't have Fat Tuesday and this gives me the Fat Tuesday vibes. The Fried catfish and crispy. Red & rice YES MA'AM got French bread was good as well. Will definitely be back. Good vibes, good music, good food? Can't miss ! Doesn't have a bar area but you can order your drink & food then sit yourself. The service was cool, kinda a whole in the wall so take in consideration if you're looking for top notch service IYKYK. Good vibe for solo dates, friends or with your boo

The food is flavorful and the service is more than adequate! Ray, our server, had many recommendations that were all great! The fried catfish strips were perfectly breaded and the stuffed shrimp was favorite thing on the menu. Ray gave fantastic service and was always attentive!

My family and I had dinner at SCDF. The energy in the restaurant was fire!! I am not opposed to the family style seating. Customers were so happy as they ate their food. Professional and courteous staff member Mr.Rayshad was so personable. He served our food hot, fresh and delicious. Our family will be back and soon. Great night!!

The place itself is hidden. Wasn't hard to find though. Customer service was good. Didn't have to wait long. Gave good recommendations on what was popular. Clean facilities as well. A good place to do a date nigh. Will come back if in the area again.

Great food and even better daiquiris! Would definitely. I got the attitude adjustment (much needed lol) and it was delicious! I recommend this place to anyone in the area! Prices are decent as well.

The food was excellent and staff was excellent ambiences is very southern with loud music games on television but the fish and boudin eggs rolls are the bomb.com

RiRi was so amazing! This was my first time here and she really helped me find the right daiquiri and food to order. Thank you for helping me.

I went on the weekend and ordered the etoufee and some fried shrimp and fries. I waited over an hour and little did I know that the 1 hr wait would dang near put me in the ER. The crawfish was bad and unfortunately I got sick. That was my first time eating there and I really wanted to like it being that I'm from New Orleans as a new resident to Dallas

Typically I dont like huge wings. I like them in the middle not to little not to big. Taste & flavor was good. Not so many flats as I would like. The wait was not more than 30min nice music and ambiance as you wait on your order.

The service was great. They were really friendly and helpful. I got the catfish and it had good flavor. The fries were well seasoned. My husband had the catfish with etoufee. It was a lot of food, and he said it was good. The music was good and there is a patio. The parking lot is small.

So I'm no stranger to how a daquiri should taste or the consistency of it. Being an avid traveler, I look for the best ! Sadly this wasn't even close. When I got it, it was watery and cold. The taste was not even what a pina colada tastes like. The cashier and establishment was short staffed and it was at least 6-8 minutes before I was served just to get my drink. I actually want a refund but don't want to go back into the restaurant because it was sketchy looking people in the parking lot AND inside. I would not recommend

Arrived for happy hour which was unusually slow. I've visited the Ft Worth location years ago and I recall it being pretty lively and definitely busy. I grabbed a menu and was greeted by staff. I was informed when ready to order, walk to the register. I ordered a happy hour daiquiri that was a mixture of the first 5 flavors that included tangerine, hypnotic, and can't recall the rest. I also ordered the wing ( raging Cajun)and fish combo. The wings were flavorful but weren't brought out immediately due to the fish being cooked per the cashier. As a result, the skin wasn't as crispy as I would've liked but fine. The fish was extremely SALTY but I ate it. The restaurant wasn't as clean as it could be especially since it wasn't busy. While dining in, one of the staff returned from outside smelling strongly of marijuana. The restroom was filthy and the dispenser for utensils was visibly dusty. I will not return to this location and until improvements regarding cleanliness, I wouldn't recommend to others.

Was there Saturday night, food was terrible I think due to old cooking oil fish was black and greasy so was the fries and shrimp. My lady didn't eat hers neither did I. Use to be good but after that not going back. Cooks in the back dancing instead of changing the oil.

The food was very very tasty. Everything tasted authentic and the atmosphere was very casual and seemed like a great hole in the wall to have some fun drinks and good eats with friends. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and were really helpful with explaining the food items on the menu and with recommendations. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night but everything came out smooth and quickly. The daquiries were nicely loaded and sweet. Would happily come again.

Very friendly staff with so many daiquiris to choose from! They even have Jell-O shots for the low! Love the music and excited for the food! For sure will be back here!

I didn't get to take a picture of the food and drinks because it was too good to wait I got the pasta with shrimp and crawfish! Shit wasss delicious! My spouse had the fried fish and shrimp with rice and that was amazing as well the drink we had was krazy for her/ him

Really enjoyed this daiquiri spot! Came here around 4pm on a weekday (rookie mistake, happy hour is 5-7pm) to grab a drink and a bite. Tons of different flavors of daqs to try and you can get to-go orders in various sizes. I got the Love Field which tasted great, and had just enough alcohol. We got the gator bites and boudin balls and both were so good! Well seasoned and piping hot, they were perfect with our drinks. The space had plenty of seating with multiple TVs on the screens, and staff was nice. One star off because they were out of items we wanted including the crab. Note: GPS took us across the street to XO, so heads up.

I enjoyed my food. The seasoning was more on the "safe" side, so I didn't really get any huge pop of flavor. But I carry my own in the car and it was better once I ate it. The catfish tasted authentic and didn't appear to be swai. The gumbo though very light colored was tasty. It could have been cooked a little longer to be softer. The red beans and rice are probably my favorite.

Ms rere is an outstanding cashier she has a beautiful smile that will brighten your day. & food is always amazing!

Loved it. Found it by accident. A Cali native visiting so my daughter google drive thru daiquiri.... And welp here we are. We got the Wipe Me Down and I can't remember the name of the other one. Both drinks were a litigation. The food was good. Fried catfish, Shrimp, gator bites stuffed crab and red beans and rice. Delicious. E we moved along south to Houston and we got a daiquiri here, and it ain't hittin the same. Sorry killt the sides crab before I got a pic. Lol

Very authentic too my hometown. Flags from Schools all over the region adore the dining area, TVs are everywhere too watch your favorite sports, the daquiri machines give such a great feel for this area. Upon Arriving I was greeting by several young ladies who were very nice took my order and delivered my meal too my table. I had the gumbo which reminded me of how my family cooks it at home think roux with plenty of meat in every spoon. I'll definitely come back for this. The fish and shrimp which was cooked very good I prefer my fish fried harder but that is just a preference overall good spot I will definitely return.

The daiquiris were good. The food was just okay. We ordered the spicy gator bites, stuffed crab, boudin egg rolls, gumbo, and the factory bowl. The food could've used more flavor, but the best thing was the egg rolls.

I was visiting Dallas this week because my wife was at the AKA function. I was disappointed that the restaurants and the other businesses did not show my wife and her organization and love. They were 20,000 deep that spent millions of dollars and yet was not given love they deserve. nevertheless the food was good. I expecting more the amount spent. The daiquiri were made with cheap vodka the kind that gave you a headache. However, I would visit again.

Riri was wonderful, patience, professional, and provided great customer service. She took our orders and made they were correct and timely.

I ordered the Natchez Front Porch platter so that I could taste a little bit of everything. I got the wings planned flavored and they were good and tasty. The mini meat and crawfish pies weren't my cup of tea. There was a bit too much dough for me. I wish the dough was a little more flaky. I didn't like the boudin balls at all. There was just too much going on. I feel like I'd like it better in non-ball form. Catfish fish is tasty and more flavorful. Surprisingly the red beans and rice was my favorite. The jambalaya was pretty great as well.

95 degrees.... These daiquiris go down easy. This was our first try and no regrets. Lots of combos and you can call out your own

Where do I even start!!! First off, the employees here are so kind and friendly. The food is absolutely AMAZING! I would recommend the Zydeco pasta, I legit drove 40 mins just to get another round of pasta and daiquiris! This establishment is very well kept and clean! I'll be telling everyone about this place! COME GET SOME AMAZING FOOD AND DRINKS!!! Y'all are missing out.

From the street, this place is a bit stand-offish because for a person like me who, though I have a car, enjoys being a pedestrian, you walk up to basically a brick wall. You then circle around that structure through a parking lot weaving between cars to get to the front door. I get it, this is Dallas, everybody cares...forget this whole opening. You drive up, park and stroll into the entrance and it's like you walked into a sports bar at night because there's no windows but a good amount of neon glow and TVs to keep you entertained. The ac works perfectly and all the daiquiri machines are performing at peak refreshment levels. Because this place is Louisiana/Nola inspired, I had to order the Eve's Bayou daiquiri (in medium because it's enough, but man I wish I got the large) which was a mix of the Hurricane and the White Russian two drinks that I love by themselves. It was delicious and it hit! I also ordered some food. I really wanted some other dish that wasn't available but I completely forgot about it after I tasted the catfish atchafalya and the accompanying étouffé. First of all I haven't had catfish since I was a child and haven't cared to, but I think I might be a fan again. Though a little salty in a couple of pieces due to the breading but not too much. The étouffé needs its own praise as well. It was perfection. I'd just as quickly go back for that to go throw it over some white rice, but I digress. This place is also a good communal spot to watch any of your local Dallas sports teams in a collegial atmosphere. I'll be back soon I'm sure.

Really wish I could have given this place a higher score, because the food and drinks were the bomb.com. However, the customer service SUCKS. This was my second visit and I was hoping the service would be different. NOT..The ladies at the registers lacked Southern hospitality , no smiles.. no hello ..no interaction at all..... what's your order..here's your number. Another customer offered to buy them a shot to loosen them up... everything I felt and was thinking...he was saying out loud. Now that was funny. It was someone's birthday 0809 that worked there CAUSE they had plenty of energy and love...so I know they have it... it's just not for the customers... Especially Pinky (wig was pink)... She definitely wasn't trying to be helpful. It wasn't until the server came in about 5pm that I felt the southern hospitality he had a wonderful attitude...thanks for the Jello shot. I told him I was going to do this review and he was like let me get you something... Needless to say he got a tip for being nice...and he didn't even have to do much.

The food is pretty good, the service not at all. After having tried them multiple times it is ALWAYS a problem with service. We paid for a fish and wing combo and we're not given fish. We paid for fries and not given fries. Wait time was EXTREMELY long the last time we went. We ordered online for Togo & we're still waiting 45 min for it to be ready after the time it stated online. Waited all that time for our order to STILL be wrong and the person knew. We ordered 10 wings half ranch half bourbon , he told us that they messed up and did all ranch and gave us a container of bourbon sauce. What kind of sense does that make. Don't really plan on going here anymore as they clearly cannot get their service together.

In follow up to my original revew. We both got food poisoning. The blackened catfidh was undercooked.

The food and drinks are really good. This a must stop when you are visiting Dallas. Also, Rere is the best!!!!

The food great, the drinks are strong. My preference ( trillfam). Customer service was great Rayshard was very attentive and was patient with explaining the menu. 10/10 recommend. Ambiance is an experience.

RiRi had the most amazing customer service. It was my first time here & I enjoyed everything about it... the food, the music, the drinks! The atmosphere was top tier

By far the best Daiquiri Spot in Dallas! Top notch southern hospitality !! Music, Food and Drinks FYE ( really good) !!! You will not be disappointed ! Our waiter even recommended the best night life club for visitors ! Pull up show some love ! True Nola vibes.

My boyfriend is from Florida and we loved going to daiquiri spots there and this restaurant reminded me a lot of those. We got the 2 piece catfish with the 8 shrimp and it was really good! We also got the stuffed crab. The fried shrimp was my favorite! Also a ton of drink options. We ate inside, the service was good and the atmosphere was a vibe. We will def be going back!

Tonight I wanted some catfish and decided to try out this Yelp suggestion near Deep Ellum. I decided on a frozen drink, the Love Field (which was amazing), and the 7 catfish strip Parish combo. I'm a sucker for a great fry on my fish, and they understood the assignment! I got some red beans and rice as my side and sat on the patio enjoying the nice weather. I'll definitely be back to try the other wing flavors and drinks!

I can't say 5 stars because I didn't have a daiquiri and I only tried 2 things but BABYYYY the things I did try? AMAZING. Red beans and rice was better than some of the places I've been to in Nola. Crawfish etouffee was good too but outshined by the red beans. My only "complaint" is that I like more rice than they gave me, I probably could've asked for more but I just ate it. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick. Nothing special about the ambience but a nice chill vibe. I'll definitely be back. I lived down the street from this place for so long and never tried it, I regret it.

So I just noticed the website has not been updated, but that just tells one I've been coming to this place long enough to remember the "old" Dallas location. Disclaimer - I don't drink but my daughter does. She has vetted the daiquiris! So first - their chicken wings are amazing and consistently so. Every single time I have been - very well done! I also love the red beans and rice, pack with lots of flavor and texture. I also occasionally get the catfish fillets and love them as well. My only complaint is that they don't offer sliced lemons with the catfish - but that is an easy fix... I bring my own. Not mad about it either. This is some good eating!! Also, this place attracts really cool and interesting people to chat with when I am either waiting in line or chowing down!! A great bonus. Staff is friendly and helpful - but not overly talkative. And enjoying dinner with friends on the patio is also pretty awesome. Appreciate the generous parking so close to town as well!

The food is amazing. They had a very nice drink menu. You may drive past it but you will want to turn around. If you get cold easy bring a jacket. But this is definitely in my rotation.
