The Pelham Road location is roomier with a better layout, so it worked out in our favor. The food was the same, and the service was over-the-top good. I couldn't tell you the last time I've experienced that level of service. The only warning I would offer is that the portions are very generous. Unless you are a competitive eater, get the smaller size and order a variety. Everything is great.

When she knows what she wants for dinner, I'm going to cooperate. The restaurant was not busy at 6pm on a Friday evening so we were seated immediately at a table and drink orders taken. When our drinks arrived, we ordered dinner. Quick. Like less than five minutes. A big sandwich with Mrs. that arrived with a plate of fries. And a plate of catfish and shrimp for me, also with a stack of fries and the cole slaw. All of it was okay. The catfish was light and flaky and not overly battered. Fresh from the frier. The shrimp were also lightly battered and lightly spiced. The TON of fries we had were delicious. Cooked properly, served hot and with a nice zingy spice on them. Overall, a good experience. Solidly four stars. [Review 486 of 2026 - 1414 in South Carolina - 25668 overall]

Right on the waters of Boone Lake... huge bar with seating for 25+ folks with 30+ tables for dining and enjoying the sun and the view... Chatted with the proprietor when me and my cousin stopped in while we were cruising the lake just before the 4th of July. Enjoyed a couple of beers. He has a nice selection of Louisiana Abita beers (Amber, Purple Haze, Turbo Dog, Andygator etc...) Several beers on tap plus good selection of bottled beer as well. Does not offer spirits or liquor however. As you would expect from the name this place has a LA flair and the proprietor advised he started cooking his version of "Louisiana cuisine" so that he could gain entry into the many festivals that are held in the Tri-City area as he pretty much is the only vendor offering "Louisiana cuisine". While we were chatting and enjoying a beverage or 3 had several couples stop in from the land side (as opposed to the water side) and sit down for a meal. My cousin and I did not partake of any menu offerings but the folks there did seem to enjoy the food that was being prepared. If you're out on Boone Lake and running toward the Johnson City side of the lake I'd highly recommend a stop in to give this place a try. Because a native Louisianian is the one writing this review and offering the recommendation!!!

As for the Shrimp Po Boy, I was happy with the size of the sandwich and the amount of toppings. Definitely bring your appetite! The shrimp were large in size and perfectly cooked.

Had the breakfast sandwich with veggie sausage and for the side, I had the gumbo. The gumbo was very good. Certainly not the best I've had but I enjoyed it. Hearty and had a kick. The sandwich was also very good. The gluten free bun was decent and the veggie patties were basically like your store bought veggie sausages (think Morningstar). My biggest issue was I ordered over easy and the eggs were basically fried. My wife got a Benedict and the poached eggs were also very over cooked. If all you serve is breakfast and lunch, you need to know how to cook eggs. The beignets we ordered were very good. Not cafe du monde (NOLA) or Huey's (Savannah) good, but a solid attempt. My other complaint is they were out of plant based milk. The server said they usually stock almond milk but ran out. First, if it's so popular that you run out, order more. Second, if you ran out unexpectedly because you always have enough, then go out and buy more since it's obviously popular. It was 10:30 on Sunday. You literally just opened which means you ran out last night. Go to the supermarket on your way in (or ask a server to stop on their way in) and buy more. It's not like it's the middle of the shift and you ran out. Sorry, but a pet peeve of mine is when a restaurant runs out of something that is easily purchased a block away at a supermarket or convenience store. Anyway, I would come back. They need to do better with their egg cooking but the meal was otherwise very good.

The club sandwich is about as good as any we have ever tried. The bacon is cooked perfectly, the turkey is high quality, the bread is fresh. I would say something was a bit overly sweet which may have been the bacon but I wasn't sure. Also, the bread was good but maybe a bit too dry for my tastes. All in though, a remarkable sandwich. Well done, Mayfel's! The gumbo was full of meats and tasty. I would suggest order, $3 upcharge, but well worth it. We got crab cakes on the salad which were also terrific. Limited to no filler, no breading, and cooked to perfection. We received two small crab cakes for the $8 charge which we felt was well worth it. The salad was good too. This is a place to go if you are interested in cajun - e.g. gumbo, etouffee, jumbalaya, po' boy, and so on. Outside of cajun there are limited options - e.g. burger, sandwiches, salad.

For starters, four of us got the Fried Okra, Fried Mushrooms, and Gator Bites. I prefer the mushrooms most because it's so juicy. Other two were good too. Gumbo & Cajun Classic Trio was helpful since we get to sample three items with smaller portions. The Seafood Gumbo, Lobster Bisque, and Jambalaya were all pretty decent, but none were amazing like what I have tasted in NoLa. For entrees, we shared an order of Cat-touffee and Redfish Bienville. I would get the former again, but the latter was slightly underwhelming. In the end, this was an above average meal, but also nothing that makes me go "Wow!" I wish their flavors were a bit more bold and techniques were slightly more refined.

I stopped in here on a Friday afternoon to grab a quick bite. Upon entrance, I really liked the paintings and other decorations spread throughout the dining room. The kitchen is visible as well which makes for a more immersive dining experience. The menu seemed to have plenty of seafood but I figured I'd opt for their special, a Blackened Red Snapper with Bacon Jalapeño Cream Sauce. It came with two sides so I decided to try out their okra and collard greens, after a recommendation from my waiter. I typically don't order collard greens but he said they have pork and are delicious. The place wasn't too busy so food came out quickly, about 10 minutes after I ordered. The food looked decent upon first glance, but I wasn't sold just yet. After my first bite of fish, I was taken aback by the delicious flavor of their cream sauce paired with the blackened fish. It was a solid portion of fish and tasted of good quality, so it didn't stand much a chance. The sides were also just as delicious. It's hard to mess up fried okra so my expectations were met to a tee. The collard greens were actually so incredible as well. I don't really know what they're made of but I definitely will be trying it more in the future, if other places prepare it as good. They also had a house hot sauce with was more flavor than heat, but paired wonderfully with everything. The whole meal was so good so I understand why they seem to a have solid amount of regulars at this place. The staff were very kind and attentive throughout the entire meal. If you want a taste of Louisiana, this place is a solid option in Charlotte.

I called in an order for the seafood gumbo, and when I arrived, a young lady was ready to cash me out. While reviewing my receipt, I noticed that a tip had already been added without my knowledge or consent. I politely removed it. I have absolutely no problem tipping, even on takeout orders, but that should be my decision--not something automatically added by an employee without informing me. What concerned me most was wondering how many other customers may not have noticed this on their receipts. Adding a tip without a customer's authorization is unacceptable and should definitely be addressed by management.

So I was looking forward to trying something different this time and decided on the Shrimp Diane. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. First--the canned mushrooms! I'm sorry, but canned mushrooms in an entrée like this were an immediate turnoff for me. There were plenty of them, and that unmistakable canned texture and taste really came through. The shrimp were also very small, bland, and appeared to be frozen. The entire dish just lacked the flavor and seasoning I expected, especially based on the food I've enjoyed here in the past. I literally ate no more than two spoonfuls before I was done. What also surprised me was that no one asked why I had barely touched my meal. When the server saw essentially an entire entrée remaining, I was simply asked if I wanted to take it home. There was never a follow-up question such as, "Was everything okay?" I would have appreciated that. Now, I do have to give credit where it's due! My date ordered the Shrimp & Grits, and his meal was excellent. It was a generous portion, flavorful, and the shrimp were nicely seasoned. He thoroughly enjoyed it--and after tasting his, I certainly knew which entrée I should have ordered! So my experience wasn't a total miss. The Shrimp & Grits were a winner, and I've enjoyed Cajun Queen's food on previous visits. But the Shrimp Diane? I would definitely not order it again. Fresh mushrooms, better-quality shrimp, and more seasoning could have made a world of difference.
