Down South CaJJun Eats

Twin brothers Jahmaal and Jermaine Dumes, originally from Beaumont, Texas, founded Down South CaJJun Eats in Spring 2017. While studying at Southwestern University in Georgetown, they decided to bring authentic Cajun cuisine to Austin. This is their first brick-and-mortar location after years of building their culinary reputation.

Signature brunch dishes include deep-fried French toast paired with CaJJun catfish, Bayou Shrimp Grits with crawfish gravy and large shrimp, and The Mother Clucker, a pound cake waffle sandwich filled with fried chicken, bacon, egg, and cheese. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday 11AM-4PM.

The Palmetto features blackened Atlantic salmon, lobster, crab, and crawfish tails with CaJJun cream sauce on garlic mashed potatoes ($29.99). The Dirty South pairs blackened catfish with crawfish and five grilled shrimp in dark-roux etouffee over CaJJun dirty rice ($27.99).

Yes, Down South CaJJun Eats features a full bar with craft cocktails, beer, wine, and bottle service. Signature drinks include the Old Fashioned (Crown Royal, banana, brown sugar, walnut), Grand Cajjun Margarita, and seasonal frozen cocktails. Mocktails available for non-drinkers.
