Wade’s Place

Wade’s Place brings authentic Gulf Coast flavors to the heart of downtown Chandler, serving up exceptional seafood and Cajun-Creole cuisine alongside perfectly prepared steaks. Located on historic East Main Street, this local establishment has earned a devoted following among East Texas diners who appreciate both quality ingredients and generous portions in a welcoming, unpretentious setting.

The menu showcases the best of Louisiana-inspired cooking with fresh Gulf seafood taking center stage. Diners can expect expertly seasoned crawfish étouffee, blackened redfish, and shrimp and grits that rival anything found in New Orleans. The kitchen also excels at perfectly grilled steaks and ribeyes, while traditional Cajun favorites like jambalaya and gumbo round out the offerings with authentic spice blends and rich, complex flavors.

The restaurant’s interior strikes a comfortable balance between casual dining and special occasion atmosphere. Warm wood finishes and local artwork create an inviting space where families feel at home during weeknight dinners, while couples can enjoy intimate conversations over candlelit tables. The main dining room offers both booth and table seating, with soft lighting that enhances the cozy, neighborhood feel.

Wade’s Place serves as an ideal destination for anyone seeking authentic regional cuisine without the drive to Louisiana or the Gulf Coast. Whether celebrating anniversaries, enjoying family gatherings, or simply craving exceptional seafood on a Tuesday evening, visitors will find the combination of skilled preparation, reasonable prices, and genuine hospitality makes every meal memorable.
