Food was piping hot and amazing. Flavor and seasoning was on point. We originally order takeout at the bar, but after opening to our bag to check the order, we couldn’t resist the flavorful aromas!! Started eating right there and almost couldn’t stop. We ordered the catfish basket, Lemon Pepper Honey Glazed Turkey, and a side of Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole. Everything was delicious. I was very impressed and satisfied. I also had a drink while waiting ( the wait wasn’t long) and it was tasty and just right. Music and vibes were pleasant as well. I’ll definitely be back!

The waitress was great. She has only been working there for three weeks. We wished we had a bit more dirty rice on our turkey leg. The food was delicious. It was decorated very nicely. I gave a 3/4 for food because it was very little rice.

I was with my friend and his godfather, and his godfather suggested we eat at a place called, "Turkey Leg Paradise". Even though I am not an especially big turkey fan, the name of the place had me hooked, because now I was intrigued as to what exactly is a turkey-leg paradise? The atmosphere has a family-friendly feel with a few TVs on various channels. Our waitress was very friendly,, helpful, and welcoming. She answered all our questions with patience and made suggestions when appropriate. We ordered the smothered turkey fries as an appetizer. Usually with smothered fries, the fries suffer from sogginess, but these fries remained crisp and the turkey also had both melt-in-your-mouth goodness and some crispy crackling elements. I thought it was so good that I wanted to order more of it for dinner, but was also curious about the stars of the menu: the smothered turkey leg dishes. All three of us ordered a different type of smothered turkey leg: Broccoli Rice and Cheese casserole, 4 Cheese Cajun Pasta, and Spicy Mac. When these dishes came out, they even attracted the attention of a couple of the patrons at another table, who took pictures of them. One of them asked me to pull the bone off the turkey leg. I was surprised at how easily the leg bone came off! If you're not a big turkey fan, these dishes will convert you, if you are a big turkey fan, you will love these even more. But if you absolutely insist on no turkey, there are fried catfish and fried shrimp options. There are lacto-vegetarian options available, but only sides like macaroni and cheese, broccoli rice and cheese and red beans and rice. There was so much food, we got a doggy bag to bring home our food, but made sure to order dessert. I ordered the banana pudding and was pleasantly surprised! The pudding was thick, like a mousse, and the vanilla wafers on top were not soggy. All in all, very delicious and everything we ate was a hit! If you have friends visiting from outside Dallas, take them to Turkey Leg Paradise and your friends will be blown away!

I don’t generally take pictures of food but MAN….I love the food here. It’s also not CRAZY overpriced either. Only part I don’t like is when the DJ is there the music is OBNOXIOUSLY loud that’s why I have atmosphere a 4-star. I went yesterday and he wasn’t there so that was great but other than that everything is good here. Service is good too. I also have a crush on one of the bartenders but she’ll never know that. I’d recommend this place for yourself, date night or even just time with ya people.

First of all, they sat 6 of us without an issue. Prices were reasonable. Service was great (Meek was our server). We spoke with an owner and she was amazing. She and her husband are doing a great job. We will definitely be back. I've already reported to the family... Now for the food. Our appetizers were the mozzarella sticks and the turkey fries. The turkey fries are AMAZING!!!!! For entres we had: Nawlins Saint, Broccoli Rice Casserole and Four Cheese Cajun Pasta stuffer turkey legs; lemon pepper wings, plain wings, and chicken tenders; mac and cheese, French fries. All of the entrées were really good. The smoked turkey legs fell off the bone and were smoked really well (not pre-smoked). Dessert we had banana pudding (options are with and without bananas) and peach cobbler. Very tasty. We will be back!!!!

The fried green beans were good but the nawlins Saints and the broccoli cheese turkey legs were to die for. We will definitely be back. Oh and the daiquiri was really good and had plenty of alcohol!

This establishment is a relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious. I really like the turkey tenders. You have to try it. Get buffalo, Cajun ranch tenders with Mac and cheese. The daiquiris are good. I recommend the strawberry cheesecake daiquiri. The desserts are delicious, as well the banana pudding and peach cobbler.

The food was 10 out of 10. There was about a 15-20 min wait going in and ordering but the food came out piping hot so it was worth the wait. My husband can’t stop talking about the cajun pasta turkey leg with shrimp. They gave some if the best banana pudding hands down. The music was loud and I recommend ordering ahead for carry-out if you don’t want to wait. They added an automatic 20% fee as well which I didn’t like.

I loved the energy of the servers. The atmosphere when I arrived was definitely chill but that booth that's in the middle of the floor and the fact that they sell daiquiris gives me the impression that this restaurant can get pretty lively. I enjoyed the Cajun Pasta Turkey Leg but I wished I got some more pasta.

Turkey Leg Paradise is in an up-and-coming area of town. Service was expeditious. The food was really good the turkey fell off the bone and it was delicious I recommend the Cajun Cowboy Cajun style BBQ with a little Heat.

Establishment wasn't a good part of town. Also had nice waitresses had good music playing when I went in order. Had a lot of seating. Food was okay. Turkey legs wouldn't smoked but was fell off the bone so tender shrimp will good that I had on the turkey leg. Banana pudding was excellent. You need to try the banana pudding

Ok look the place was setup beautiful but we were miserable because the AC was out and it was so Hot in there but the food was ok not great. They only had one server the other set behind the counter on her phone the whole time we were there. It was about 8 of us in our party and that poor girl had 3 tables of other guess plus us and she had absolutely no help.

#BlackOwned This spot has been on my list for a while now. I’ve been looking for a good turkey leg spot and I think I’ve found it! *And yes, I’ve been to Turkey D.A.M. It’s a good location (near Gilley’s) with ample street parking. Additionally, the inside is spacious and has plenty of open seating. The service was great and the people were so nice. They have it all: Turkey legs, a bar (with daiquiris), and dessert! I ordered: A turkey leg with Cajun alfredo pasta, a side of red bean and rice, and some banana pudding. The turkey leg was tender with a good flavor (just a tad salty), and the pasta wasn’t bad. The pasta was a little too spicy for me, so keep that in mind if hot food isn’t your thing. The red beans and rice definitely tastes homemade, it was thick and creamy like I like it! The banana pudding, though?! Y’all. Some of THE BEST banana pudding I’ve ever had 😩. It’s a shareable portion, but you’re not going to want to share. Lol. The best part is, you can get it with or without bananas (I can’t stomach soggy bananas, so I appreciated this). I spent a total of $40. *** I do think this is a little much & more than other turkey leg spots I’ve been too, but I’m definitely full and have leftovers! Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, the location was good, and the food was decent! I’ll definitely be back to try the other flavors of turkey legs - I hear the lemon pepper is really good!

Came here to treat my sister who was in town. The turkey legs were really salty and luke warm. No memorable flavor but they were moist and not dry. Service was okay, nobody really smiled or talked to us about the menu. Majority of the staff was on their cell phones. However, love the vibe and atmosphere. Nicely decorated, DJ, spacious patio area and tv’s. I probably won’t go back and if I did it’d be for drinks and the music on a whim.

I am new to the area and was looking for a laid back spot with a good vibe. The outdoor patio was indeed a vibe. My sis and I ordered their infamous turkey fries, mozzarella sticks, and 2 mixed drinks. Our total was $65! 😱 Drinks were good; music was good. A bit pricey. Still had a good time.

I did a doordash order and the customer service was Horrible. (I took pictures) The food tasted Old and was Disgusting. $56.00 spent and it was the worse food ever. They need to hire Adults and Not Kids that talk about what they will do after hours at other restaurants. That's a negative for me. The turkey legs were Old, "Boiled" and Horrible. I HATED it there and I Will dispute the $56.00 I spent. IT ALL went to the Trash!! 👎🏽👎🏽 Nasty!!!!! 🤢🤮

Came in on 12/5/2025 . Music was cool , wasn't overpacked with people. Staff was friendly. Although the vibes were decent I drove from Anna Tx which is about an hour and 15 minutes out just to try their infamous Turkey leg. I don't wanna sound rude but I wasted $33 on the most distasteful, unseasoned, dry, boiled textured turkey leg !! Not only were my feelings hurt because I felt that it would be delicious based on the reviews. (Later to find out that the recent 5 star were paid for) But It was a complete waste of my money! Just so I didnt come off as too picky — I allowed my guests (section of 5) dig in and try some . Long story short, I ended up feeding the rest to my two french bulldogs DO BETTER TURKEY LEG PARADISE!!!!!!!!

I'm not from Dallas, but I saw this spot on TikTok and heard it was a great place to get a turkey leg. When we first walked in, it wasn’t clear if it was self-seating or not. After a few minutes, a server let us know we could sit anywhere. Once we sat down, it took about 10 minutes for someone to take our order. We ordered two different turkey legs and two drinks. After waiting for over an hour, the waitress finally brought out our food—only to tell us that they were out of turkey legs. One of the orders was wrong, and we still hadn’t received our drinks. At that point, we just asked to pay for the one turkey leg that was correct. The menu said it was $28, but our total came out to $36. I know tax isn’t $8 on a $28 item, but I couldn’t even verify it because we didn’t get a receipt. Overall, the service was terrible, the food was just okay, and I definitely wouldn’t come back.
