THANK YOU EVERYONE for voting for us! We WON BEST NEW RESTAURANT in the CultureMap Fort Worth tournament!

Best New Restaurant: Cocodrie’s Bayou Kitchen

This new Cajun food destination in North Richland Hills (5209 A Rufe Snow Dr.) is from former Louisiana shrimper Jesse Gibson, who previously sold crawfish, gumbo, oysters, and king cakes under his brand, The Wild Cajun.

Named for a small fishing community near Gibson's hometown, Cocodrie's is where hundreds lined up to devour 1,300 pounds of crawfish and two gators grilled over an open fire on Fat Tuesday in February.

For those of you following along today makes 1 year since my departure from my first restaurant.
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
Thank you to all that have stood by me the whole way! Cocodries is where my heart is and although we are still new in dfw with this spot. I am going to turn this into something truly special.

I never could’ve imagined not only getting to open my own place but doing it twice in under a year. I am forever grateful for the communities support. I’ve never underestimated you.
