Coonyon's Restaurant Review My dad raved about Coonyon's and…read morewanted to take us there for dinner tonight. We settled in and placed our orders -- I had a small cup of gumbo and a small red beans and rice, Dad ordered the gator bites, and my wife and mother both went with the shrimp and cheese grits. Having spent many years traveling through seven different states, including plenty of time in Louisiana and New Orleans, I've had my share of gumbo. To put it kindly, this wasn't one of the better ones. It lacked the dark roux that gives gumbo its signature flavor, had very little liquid, and mostly consisted of chunks of chicken and okra over a pile of rice. The gator bites were probably the best thing I tried -- even though I only tasted one, it was quite good. The red beans and rice were decent, with the highlight being the sausage, though there were only three or four very thin slices. I'd love to find that sausage again! The shrimp and grits I sampled had good, creamy grits, tasty shrimp, and a tomato-based étouffée-style sauce that worked well together. The waitress was prompt, the food arrived hot and on time, and overall it was a decent experience -- but not quite what I'd consider a true Cajun restaurant.

I recommend the Catfish Cecile if you are looking for catfish with etouffee. The ambiance had a darker more chill vibe but a good spot for conversation. The service was nice and I recommend putting a reservation in soon as possible before your visit. Some parties put in reservations days before their visit.

The seasonal special cheesecake was the last day for this year's season. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing - and it is always a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with just enough of an edge to make it. A place to celebrate or feel like it's a special occasion.

Stopped at the increasing number of food trucks near Lake Fayetteville. I went on a day when the…read moreweather was about 20 degrees (craving hot gumbo!). It would be great to eat here in the Spring or warmer weather. Lots of picnic tables all around the trucks. I call NOLA my 2nd home so I'm picky. Ordered the seafood gumbo. I'm used to more gumbo & less rice, but this was the opposite. The gumbo was tomato based rather than the dark roux I prefer. It consisted of shrimp, okra, & smoked sausage (not abundant) with French bread. The rice & shrimp were pretty mushy & the portion was small for $8.50. The staff, while super nice, appeared Asian & I find it strange that there's sushi on the Cajun Kitchen menu. Also, zizania rice, baked potato w/basic toppings & a bbq pork sandwich (?) The staff was super friendly and I hope they succeed. I can tell they put a lot of love in their food.
