We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
Hands down some of the best Cajun food I’ve ever had, out of a food truck of all places. The catfish po boy was excellent, fish was crispy and seasoned perfectly. The bread was great too. The battered fries were crispy and delicious. THE GUMBO. Such a rich and developed flavor. My life is better now that I know this place exists. The cooks in there are putting their heart, soul, and foot in this food. I will definitely be back soon.

This place is amazing! Hands down the best gumbo I’ve ever had. The gumbo is my wedding night dinner and I’m so glad I found it :) you can honestly taste every flavor profile in the gumbo base. It has the perfect amount of file. And- the sausage isn’t over cooked nor the chicken!! This level of gumbo you would expect to be $20 outside of NOLA but it’s $7 and well worth the try!!

Pulled up to Strut & Dorothy at Armadillo Den and wow… this spot delivers ! We went all out with the gator bites (so crispy and tender), smoked lemon pepper wings, smoked garlic parm wings, and the smoked boudin. Every single bite was packed with that bold, smoky flavor. Will be back for sure!

Decide to give this hidden gem a try!
So glad that I did, the food was DELICIOUS! I was able to order a little bit of everything because I was so indecisive. Everything came out fast and fresh, the gumbo is DELICIOUS. The customer service was great! I’m already thinking about coming back to try the rest of the menu! I will be telling all my friends about this!

This place was absolutely amazing. To start, extremely friendly and hospitable staff. Wouldn’t expect anything less from an authentic Cajun place.
I ordered the shrimp po boy and they tossed the shrimp in their Nashville hot sauce for me— an amazing idea. It was the perfect amount of both heat and flavor. Truly spectacular sandwich and I can’t wait to have it again. Highly recommended. Thanks again!

This is upper tier Cajun food made with Love! The owner/chef is an amazing guy, he was on MasterChef and made frog legs for Gordon Ramsey. Delicious, nuanced, flavorful food. 8 million thumbs up 👍 👌 👏 Also, got this quart of Gumbo to go, my wife and kids ate half of it 5 minutes after my arrival.

We ordered the gumbo and fried okra. Both were absolutely delicious! Food is flavorful. Edit note: I got the fried okra without the standard toppings.

Excellent food and super friendly people! I tried the shrimp po boy, gumbo, and fried okra - took me right to NOLA! Food was fresh and delicious, portions were big, and overall experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

*LOVE* this li'l food truck, at the Armadillo Den! Went with the 'gator po' boy, 'cause I wanted to go all-out, on first try, after seein' what they had, on-menu.
Also, Ray and Kaylie, with their warmth, were convincing enough.
Decided, I'd try the cajun truffle fries, as well. See all of the above.
Pardon, ain't got pics o' the food, 'cause it was gone, by the time I thought t'take any.
Slàinte!

Born and raised in New Orleans and have yet to find a good poboy OR good gumbo anywhere in central Texas until this food truck showed up. Not even sure if they're from Louisiana, but they definitely cook like they are. The people working are awesome too.

Been here a few times and it's amazing. The food is unbelievable, the people are attentive and nice, and the venue it's at it's awesome. Has live music, lots of seating, and a bar.

The BEST GUMBO I've ever had!! Located at one of my favorite bars in Austin. Awesome staff and great food. Love the Carolina gold wings and pickles fries too. 11/10

These smoked wings are the bomb. Cajun truffle fries were awesome too. I won't be the least bit surprised if these wings end up on some "best in Austin" list in the near future, great flavor, great size! The folks working here are super friendly as well, see yall again soon!

A catfish po-boy and fries is $24.50!!!! After tip it was nearly $30.00 for a catfish sandwich and fries. The fries were tasty, the catfish was very salty. Sorry to say this is the bad side of what Austin has gotten to be known for. Ridiculous pricing for basic food.
