Great food. The fried chicken, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, corn bread, ice tea, and cherry Kool-Aid was the bomb. We were there celebrating my husband's 74th Birthday . Our first time visiting this place. We will be back again. read more

Blue Plate - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Had high hopes after reading the great comments in the AZ Republic. Ordered 2 pieces of chicken. The sides we decided on were potato salad and the candied yams. Had biscuits instead of corn bread The chicken was over cooked and the wing and drumstick was rather lean Potato salad was so salty it was inedible. The biscuits were very dense, not at all light or flakey The upside were the candied yams. They were good The server was excellent. The food let her down. read more

CC's is not easy to see from the street because it is in a courtyard between 2 office buildings and a parking garage. The location is accurate and your best parking option is the garage for 2800 N Central. It is a pay lot but CC's will validate your parking receipt. CC's is a soul food type of restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I visited for lunch about 3 weeks ago. I read the fried chicken is popular so I ordered the 4 piece version with sides of rice and gravy along with some maque choux and a biscuit for $21. The food arrived about 15 minutes later on a big plate. The chicken pieces had a dark brown crust and were quite good tasting. Not too crusty and with hot and flavorful meat on the bone. The rice and light brown gravy were good and the maque choux looked different from the South Louisiana variety but I still enjoyed it. It had corn, tomatoes, onions and bell peppers in it. I'll bet few locals have ever heard of it! The tablevservice was good too. This was a lot of food and I didn't finish it all but it was all good tasting and very close to real southern style cooking. I would be happy to return. read more

Was excited to come finally try them out for the first time today. They are closed due to a death in the family until April 10, 2026 according to the sign on the door. I will definitely be back to update and hopefully give a 5 start review. read more

I hate to leave a bad review but the food is just okay.. nothing special. But the service was absolutely horrendous. Anytime we asked our server for anything he seemed bothered or annoyed. We had to wait about 5 to 10 minutes every time he came to the table. The restaurant only had two other tables filled. And when the food finally came out, he only gave us 2 napkins, and there were 5 of us. As soon as he set them down, I asked if we can have more napkins, and he snapped back quickly at me and said "Can I get you anything else" We ordered the tasty 3? Hot link po'boy and dat smoked turkey. The food lacked flavor or any love honestly and came out Luke warm.. it was just so insulting that we were served this. read more

I had heard some talk about CC's and had wanted to try it for quite a while. They are only open Monday through Friday until 4:00 pm. Living and working in the East valley made it hard, but we finally made it. This place is located on the first floor a big office building on Central, so you can't really see it when you pass it. Park in the parking garage (they validate) and take the elevator to the first floor. As soon as you walk out, it's right around the corner. We were greeted right away and told to pick whatever table we wanted. We chose a regular table, but they have high top tables and banquettes as well. There is breakfast on one side of the menu and lunch on the other. We wanted lunch, so didn't really even look on the breakfast side. We ordered jambalaya and shrimp etouffee which each came with a scoop of rice on top and a cornbread muffin. I probably wouldn't order the etouffee again, but I would definitely order the jambalaya, which was delicious!!! Don't make the mistake we made and not look at the breakfast menu, even if you want lunch. It wasn't until we were almost done eating that we noticed all the good things, like shrimp and grits and the Boss High Sandwich that were on the breakfast menu that were good for lunch. Now we have to go back for the shrimp and grits! read more

Have been waiting to stop by here for some creole food forever. It's tucked away in a business park in Central Phoenix. There's a parking garage and they do validate tickets. The restaurant was clean and colorful. We had a chance to meet the co-owner Sharon. Her son is the chef and other owner. We had to try the fried chicken! Also ordered jambalaya and red beans and rice. So good and flavorful. We came about an hour before closing, so unfortunately they were out of macaroni and cheese. Will have to try that next time. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were too full to try dessert, maybe next time! read more

This place was complicated until we figured out the (bathrooms & parking). Today we had their Sunday Soul dinner and our favorite red Kool-Aid. The food was so worth the wait & drive. I love the music playing. If you're close enough, you can see the tvs and catch a game. Most of the servers are nice & attentive. Thankfully, they work on a partnering system so multiple people check on you. read more

If your looking for some amazing creole food Look no further. The waiter was super friendly and checked on us often. The food was amazing and you definitely feel like you are getting food straight from New Orleans. I got the red beans and rice and it was amazing! I could eat it every day. It had a nice smoked flavor. They didn't skimp on the meat and it was just the right spice level. My husband got the catfish po boy and said the seasoning was on point and the fish was cooked to perfection. When we visit AZ again this will be a must stop. read more

Finally had the chance to try CC's, we opted to go for lunch. At first the vibes were off when we walked in, not sure why the bartender seemed annoyed by us but we definitely didn't feel welcome. We were told to seat ourselves, so we grabbed some menus and sat down. We ordered the praline French toast and the chicken salad. We asked if we can sub out the croissant for focaccia bread on the chicken salad, but were told the focaccia isn't ready. After asking for a time frame on how long for the bread, we were given a bit of a tude. Not sure what the deal was, but we thought about leaving at that point. Food came out and overall it was great. The French toast was unique and filled with flavor. Sweet caramel with nutmeg and a saltiness sprinkled on top, nothing I've ever had before. The chicken salad was simple, yet well put together. The focaccia bread was a good idea and glad we swapped it out. We asked for well done fries, but they didn't deliver on that part. Overall the food was really good but the service was meh. Thankfully the gentleman became much nicer midway through the meal and was pleasant afterward. They also offer a parking validation if you ask, we used the parking garage and it was free. read more

Went as a part of a large group they stated they were not aware but we did have a reservation.. The service wasn't what I was expecting but if they truly did not know the number of our party I can somewhat understand. The food was tasty, but wasn't really fond of eating out of a to go box in the restaurant, Then they didn't have silverware at the table so I asked for a fork , and the server walk through the restaurant with an un wrapped plastic fork in her hand. We asked for the light over our table to be turned on but that never happened. The food was good and the drinks were good . I definitely will give it another try.. They validate parking which is good.. read more

A Saturday morning visit minutes after opening. My first visit, you place your order at the counter, and then you seat yourself. Drinks and meals are brought to your table. You receive items in to-go form. The red beans and rice were the best item I had. The greens are spicy, the biscuit and cornbread were room temperature and should've been warmed. The fish and chicken were solid. The chicken could've had crisper skin. R&B music plays in the background read more

Long story short, decent wings but pretty pricey and limited flavors. Came here on their wing Wednesday special, as I saw a post on instagram claiming this is Az new best wing spot. I first tried ordering from this place last Wednesday and there was no option online but in their instagram they claimed you can order online or call. So since the online option wasn't showing I decided to call and I got hung up on 3 times. I ended up not ordering and contacting the store via their direct instagram page to have the option for the wing special available online or be able to place over the phone take out orders..... This week I stopped in and had to pay for parking since they're located inside a private building, tried the only 2 flavors they had which was something called Dankin and the Chili Scallion wings. Flavor wise the wings were decent but they don't offer any dipping sauces on the side at all. I'd say even ATL wings have better seasoning to the wings. I will have to try something not in their specialty menu and comeback one day read more

This have to be the worst overprice stuff I seen I literally paid six dollars for half a hotlink cut in half on top of that. All my containers was filled with rice more than your étouffée which was thick and nasty and jambalaya, which was watered down with bland broth. The only thing good at this place is the wings. read more

Blue Plate - Six dollars for this Beef Hot Link - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have been wanting to try this place for SO long and finally got the chance, it was well worth the wait. My cousin just moved to AZ from Louisiana a few months ago so she ordered the fried catfish, fries, collard greens salad and she said, " this fish taste like my momma cooked it in her kitchen. It reminds me of home." I must admit I had the catfish po' boy and collard greens and it was very good. My partner had the fish and grits and instantly wanted the recipe for the sauce and wanted to personally THANK THE CHEF for the whole meal. Everything was Hot, fresh and seasoned very well. The server was VERY nice and patient. It was a very quaint space, but a little hard to locate as it sits off the road hidden by office buildings. But the design and layout, coupled with the outside patio, soulful music selections and southern (Louisiana) charm are comforting. We also had cocktails, the 'Bad Decisions', Purple Rain and one that escapes me, but they were well made and mixed as well. All in all, 10/10! I will definitely be returning with more friends. Just for review, the food was flavorful and fresh, the drinks were well balanced, the environment was very calming and clean and the customer service was awesome. Y cousin and I got 2 full meals with cocktails and paid about $50 which is standard and well worth it. The only thing I WILL say as there were some patrons there that were VERY rude to the wait staff so remember when you're out and about, be kind to the staff. There is no need to be uncompromising ESPECIALLY when you see they are short staffed. #PATIENCEISAPLUS read more

We had our Valentine's Day party here for a social group that I belong to call Smart Set. It was fabulous!! The food was phenomenal. The service was good and we had the whole place to ourselves! Everyone there raved about the food. My husband absolutely adored the carrot cake that she made! If you're downtown Phoenix and you want some good soul food and some good flavorful food you've got to come to C's on Central! It's a must try! read more

Stopped by for brunch during the week and we're sat right away. The space was clean and bright. Staff was pretty cold and distant at first but he seemed to make a change over the duration of our service. Maybe he needed some coffee or something to wake up. lol. For food, we chose the praline French toast which was unique and flavorful-I really enjoyed the texture of the crunchy exterior to the warm and soft interior! To mix it up, we opted for a chicken salad sandwich and fries and split both dishes. The chicken salad itself was pretty flavorful but felt like it was just a schmear of it and wasn't a lot for the price. The fries were so lackluster-I asked for well done and they were mostly soft and didn't have any seasoning. I'd say overall I'm content I got the chance to visit after seeing all the hype about it but to me it was more hype than it's worth because it was expensive for brunch so I but won't be rushing back anytime soon! read more

This place wasn't expecting a late brunch crowd a few Saturday's ago, service was great but spread thin, food was amazing but not severed immediately after prepared, so it could have been spectacular if it was served hot.

When I tell you that plate was BUSSIN..... I almost cursed at yall just now it was so good. The sausage is made to order!! I should have ordered mine fried hard, extra done cuz it had too much pink in the middle for me. Thankfully. The server didn't make me feel too bad about sending it back. He made me feel a lil bad. I think he was having a rough morning. We give grace. The grits were seasoned; and they had sugar so they were DELICIOUS. The greens were seasoned...a little too stemmy for me but flavored well and the stems were tender so i smashed them. Now im notna stem/stalk in my greens lady for real, unless im doing canned or bagged greens. But like i said...dont be fooled...the stems were very tender. Not a stringy one on my plate. The eggs...seasoned. They make good food, real good food. I wanna go back and try something else. I saw the tea box and they have quite an offering. Cons: besides the chicken sausage not being for me. They didn't have non dairy creamer for the coffee which sucks. It was chilly and a hot coffee would have been fire. My server was a bit short with me but like I said, they may have had a bad morning...idk. Will I return.. heck yes. I want to try so many other items on the menu and a few of the drinks!!! read more

Since it's right near my office, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I've been twice and just don't love it. The first time, I had the chicken salad. Near my previous office, there was a little sandwich shop that had an amazing chicken salad. CC's was nothing like it. I'm not sure if they use mustard or just some heavy seasoning, but I really didn't enjoy the flavor. The second time, a coworker and I decided to try the catfish since it was "Fry"day. I found it to be extremely salty and the sauce they provided was very spicy. It seems that creole/Cajun is just not my thing. Personally I think that for the location, they'd do better with a mix of cuisines instead of just being so specialized. Most office workers are looking for basically sandwiches, salads, soups, and might only want creole once in a while. read more

Yum!! A little hidden secret that shouldn't be a secret. I was lucky to experience one of the first Sunday of the month limited menu take out events, but still ate in. We ordered several sides & desserts and loved every bite. I can't wait to return and experience their entire menu. I would highly recommend if you like great southern creole soul food! Sometimes we need to feed our souls! CC's fills the soul and stomach! :)) Note - The Mac n cheese and collard greens are maybe in the best I've had. I'm from ATL. That's not an easy competition. Again, Yum! :)) read more

Sorry, forgot to take photos, but still some tasty Cajun food.. Ambiance: the restaurant is set in-between two office buildings on Central Ave. Overall, nice place. A good amount of people were there, but not packed Service: Fast and friendly. There is a sign that indicates where to order at the bar. You then find a seat afterwards Food: The menu is pretty good. Not large, but has a lot of options. I opted for Jambalaya. It came with rice and cornbread. Mine contained both sausage and shrimp (the shrimp were extra). It was really good - a bit of spice on the end, but not overwhelming. Portion size was good as well. They were kind enough to give us free dessert - carrot cake. It was very good! N*joy! read more

My hubby and I were blown away at the fried chicken, fried fish, red beans and rice and the mac n cheese. The shrimp etoufee was ok, and the red velvet cake was a flop. While the icing was amazing, the cake itself was tough and not very moist. Be prepared to wait, we were there at opening and 2nd in line and still had to wait 45 min for our food to go. There was a sweet young lady that was a little slow taking orders on a device and not on a POS system and that itself took 10 min just to get our 2 orders in. It also took 20 min just to get our drinks. The food is worth the wait just be prepared to wait. read more

Great food, service and vibe. The place really picked up between 1130am for lunch. I normally don't order chicken salad from any restaurant but something to told me to get it here. No disappoint here. The chicken salad sandwich was seasoned well. Loved the homemade chips and collard green salad. My bestie enjoyed their breakfast sandwich with the sweet potato tots.

Hello. If you haven't been or don't know about this place please go. First of all the food is amazing. Everything we had was delicious. Second. The owner is amazing. We had a couple of really nice conversations and she (and this place) is legit. This is a unique restaurant in Phoenix and should be on everyone's list. We were a party of 4 on a Sunday. The food is just amazing. If you enjoy southern cooking you will enjoy their twist on things - their restaurant is actually better than a lot of the restaurants we've been to in MS and LA. Just go. read more

I gave this place a try after discovering it a few blocks from my office. I arrived shortly after opening and ordered the 2 piece fried chicken meal with French fries. I added the white meal only option knowing that it would result in a surcharge. While the wait was longer than expected, I ended up being served two chicken wings + my fries and a sweet tea that took almost 15 minutes to arrive since they were still brewing the tea when I sat down. I didn't have the time to ask for a corrected order so I ended up playing over well over $20.00 for a meal that could have been obtained much cheaper elsewhere. While I may give this place another try, I'll have to allocate more time. read more

In town for a Yankees/ Diamondbacks game with my family I went on Yelp to find a spot for lunch. Outstanding food and wonderful service - I highly recommend CC's on Central. The reviews I read influenced me and I'm glad they did. I chose the Shrimp and Grits and that was delicious. My family members dined on the collard green salad with chicken, a cheeseburger with fries, and cornbread, grilled chicken, and grits.

I guess they don't want business. I called an hour and half before their posted closing time. No answer. Called again 30 mins later. No answer. Thought we'd just drive there and give it a try anyway, even though it was a 35 minute drive. THEY LOCKED their door 25 minutes til close. The worker just looking at us while they still had guests inside. Such a shame that they advertise a HH from 3-6 on their site but close their door before that time. DO BETTER!!!!!!!

Being Southern food critics (born and lived in New Orleans all our lives) we're always on the lookout for authentic flavors. The grits, unfortunately, missed the mark for us and didn't quite capture that Southern essence we love. However, the praline French toast was absolutely delightful, bringing a lovely sweet touch to our meal. The fish and grits plate was enjoyable, because it was paired with the flavorful fried fish. The restaurant has a charmingly casual atmosphere, and the servers were polite. We will definitely be coming back! We really will miss their breakfast meals! read more

We stopped on a Saturday around 11am. I was very surprised that it was fairly empty with just one party seated. The greeting was pleasant and welcoming. We ordered the shrimp & grits as well as the Praline French toast. Trust me - do not sleep on the French toast. By far the best we've ever had. The shrimp and grits deserve their own moment as well. The wait was a bit long for the food but once we tasted- we had no complaints. Definitely will be revisiting often. The server Jay was excellent. read more

I drove almost an hour to get to this restaurant and was very disappointed. I waited an hour and a half for the food to be served and our waiter instead of apologizing that the food was late said, "You should have realized it's a holiday today," and walked away even when I asked our server why food is late seemed bothered and said I don't know I am not in the kitchen.
