We had eaten here before, so were interested to see if it is still as good as we had remembered. Our group of 5 each ordered different entrees (Mahi Orleans, Tilapia Opelousas, Crab Cakes, Gumbo, and Hamburger steak). The first 4 dishes were given 10 out of 10 and the hamburger steak was rated 8 out of 10... but the okra side item was a 10. The portions are generous and the staff was very pleasant and prompt with drink refills, etc. It is rare that my wife agree a restaurant is a 10 out of 10, so this is a MUST EAT location! I only wish that we lived nearby so we can go every week. read more

Food- ok Service - good Ambiance- good Order- appetizer, Boudin Balls- just a lot of filler (what Boudin) it's masked with a spicy Horseradish Shrimp Sandwich- not dressed, they supply a salad that is given for each meal, you dress it yourself Shrimp were under a heat lamp- warm, not freshly fried Hamburger Steak- made with a pre-made Hamburger patty with onions that were not cooked I'm a New Orleans resident, & it was horrible Bill for two- plus tip, under just under 60 Bucks The restaurant is not what Louisiana food taste like, it's for from it Not recommended--this place is highly rated (with 5-stars) ‍ "You don't know what you don't know" Sorry- no pix's read more

We decided to eat at Cafe Acadiana for lunch last week. Wasn't sure what to expect since we live in Fairhope where quality restaurants abound. But we had heard great things and Cajun Cuisine is my favorite. The inside is more like an old school, diner type of atmosphere and decor. But the food wasn't....holy cow. I ordered the Seafood Gumbo and Flounder Ponchartrain and both dishes were amazing. The Flounder was breaded and cooked to perfection, and the Gumbo is authentic Louisiana style brown roux and it was loaded with delicious seafood. The Shrimp and Crawfish Cream Sauce is amazing and with the light breading on the Flounder, made for a superior dining experience. If you can get over to SilverHill...right down Hwy 104, you will be amazed at what Cafe Acadiana is serving up!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

We had been planning to try this local restaurant for a while. We NEVER get food to go - but, my wife was sick and craving fried catfish. She phoned in her order and I picked it up. For a single catfish plate - I was charged $27. We usually BOTH eat lunch for $30-$35. (We dine out almost daily.) I've heard good things about this place, but after that pricey meal, I'm a little gun-shy about getting lunch there. Wifey said the catfish was good, but really nothing special. read more

wonderful Cajun seafood, my wife and I eat there when we are nearby. The food is always prepared fresh per order. It's always appealing in taste and presentation. The prices are VERY reasonable. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive from our house. read more

Our first time here & we were extremely pleased! Between the two of us we ordered the fried catfish lunch special with okra as the side, and a shrimp appetizer that was tossed in their sweet chili sauce and onion rings. Everything was excellent!! Clean atmosphere, friendly/helpful service. We will definitely be back to try something else! read more

We did a VRBO that is less than a minute walk to this delicious spot. I had the fried shrimp and my husband and grandson had the fried crawfish. This by far was the best shrimp I've had ever and the crawfish was . Hope to be back soon. read more

GREAT food! Great service! I've never been and had anything I didn't like. The Boudreaux's Burrito is my absolute favorite!

What a wonderful lunch!!! I had the flounder in a crawfish cream sauce. Our server also very sweet

What a delicious hidden gem! When you walk into this restaurant, you feel like you're walking into a Southern Grandma's home. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like you are family. The food here is down-home traditional southern, and the best that I have found. As an appetizer, we had Gator Bites. The alligator was well seasoned, and fried beautifully. For my main course, I had the Make Your Own Combo with fried catfish, fried crawfish, fried shrimp, and crawfish étouffée. For my sides I chose fried okra and hush puppies. All of the meals come with complementary coleslaw. The coleslaw was light and refreshing, well-balanced, and perfectly seasoned. This meal was the perfect southern meal. Each bite left me doing a food happy dance! Every item was lightly breaded and seasoned with tons of flavor. The fish was light and flaky. The house-made sauces complemented everything dipped in them. This will now be my go-to spot for lunch AND dinner. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Been eating here since the grand opening. Staff is always friendly and helpful, the food is beyond anything from the big chains, and the owners will stop by and check on you at your table. Great casual dining experience! read more

We've enjoyed lunch here several times over a couple of years. Simply put, it is the best Cajun food in Coastal Alabama. Everything is delicious but the crab cakes are the best I've ever eaten by far. The staff are efficient and extra friendly. Today we shared a single crab cake as a starter followed by the lunch specials. Prices are reasonable. We had a 5 minute wait for a table. The owner is everywhere greeting guests and visiting with the many regulars while making sure everything is getting done. We very highly recommend this small piece of culinary heaven. read more

So we were looking at the menu and laughing about whom would order the Beaudreaux cream sauce as an appetizer. Then we had it. The service was very polite and quick. My wife had the blackened chicken and stuffed potato. Both were amazing. Moist juicy chicken and she said the stuffed potato is the best she ever had. I had the beaudreaux burrito with red beans and rice and it was amazing. This place is crazy good. Made us question moving to Alabama so we can eat here more often. 10 stars out of 5 read more

Great service. Little too spicy for my taste. ...............................,,,,,........,,,,,.. ........,,,,,,,........-------

The crawfish etouffe and red beans my partner had were great. I also enjoyed my daily special of shrimp and catfish. Cole slaw was tasty and green beans and Mac and cheese typical southern (mushy beans) as expected. This was our first visit and we enjoyed A sweet waitress and attentive owner manager. It was a pleasant dining experience. read more

This is one of our go to places to dine, Chef and his staff are always smiling and treat us like family.

I agreed to return as it was my wife's birthday, and she really wanted the Crabmeat Au-gratin as very few places, it seems, have that on a menu. She really enjoyed it and the Shrimp Opelousas. I did NOT order the Hamburger Steak.. LOL, but ordered the choose 3 and the shrimp were very good, the Flounder Filet was cooked perfectly but the Seafood Gumbo was disappointing. A dark roux can be a little bitter, but this bordered on burned and there weren't any discernable trinity or crawfish apparent visually or via taste. The popcorn shrimp had little taste as did the lack of seasoning in the gumbo. We will return and I will skip both the Gumbo and the Hamburger Steak and get more flounder! read more

If you haven't eaten here you have missed the boat. Every meal I have had here is scrumptious. If you need catering this is the place!!!

We come as a group monthly on Wednesday evenings. Food is always good. Service could be a little better with also the option to get coffee with our pie. The server always says they have none. It would be great to have coffee with our pie after the meeting, I did suggest maybe the restraurant should invest in a keurig. read more

We met our daughter and son-in-law at Cafe Acadiana, at their suggestion, and we are so glad we did! We started off with a couple of appetizers - shrimp gumbo and the fried boudin balls. Both were outstanding! The gumbo was very flavorful without being too strong. The boudin balls were delicious and the dipping sauce made them even better. The entres came out soon after the appetizers and were delicious as well. I ahd the Flounder Pontchartrain and it was amazing. The flounder was fried perfectly and it was topped with a shrimp and crawfish cream sauce that as so good! Everyone enjoyed their entre as much as I did - excellent! The only minor issue was the size of the table - we were a little cramped with 4 adults and a baby in a highchair at the table. Certainly not something that would prevent us from going there the next time we are in town, but it was a negative. The service was excellent, food came out at a great pace and we really enjoyed our time there. It is definitely in the rotation for future visits. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing food and staff! Wife and I drive from Pensacola to just have lunch ! Food comes to the table hot of the stove

Walking into this unassuming property, you wouldn't think of what tasty delights await you. From the moment we came in the staff were happy to help and answer the many questions we had. The grand daughter of their in house recipe sausage shared with us her story regarding his recipe. We did a combo of the 4 and 2 item combo meals. Seemed the best way to try the many entrees they have here. We ordered the following: fried shrimp, shrimp Opelousas, Bordeaux's sauce, crawfish étouffée, fried crawfish, crabmeat au gratin. Sides were onion rings and fried okra. The meal started with a pair of saltine crackers and a mayonnaise based coleslaw. Tasty and not overly sweet or sour. Well balanced with the seasoning. Bottom left clockwise in the first photo: Boudreaux's sauce, onion rings, crabmeat au gratin, fried shrimp on top of fried okra, shrimp Opelousas, crawfish etoufee and fried crawfish. How to pick the best tasting item, no damn clue. Honestly one of the best meals I've eaten anywhere in world up to this point. I truly am having a difficult time deciding the best. I'd say the in house sweet and spicy sauce for the shrimp Opelousas will make shower shoe edible! The food seasoning is spot on and amazing. Assumed it was going to be overly spicy but the spicing is more of a warm tongue tantalizing blend and finished at the back of the tongue with a little heat. All the food shines through the seasoning and is the star for sure. Please stop in and give this local business a try. I know you won't be disappointed but if you are, call me and I'll come over and finish what you won't eat!! read more

It is a little overrated. We had their lunch specials and the portion is very small for crawfish etouffee for $15. The food is tasty but not that good to charge you a super small bowl for the price. It is a 30 mins detour (back and forward) from 98. read more

Wonderful early birthday dinner. Friendly service, tidy and clean cafe-style. The food is delicious - fried okra, coleslaw, boudain balls - all tasty and freshly made. We enjoyed the burrito dinner and will be back for more. read more

Cafe Acadiana - Cajun Burrito! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Silverhill, Alabama

Great food and service. My wife gets the seafood burrito and I get Catfish Gerald. Always a delight.

Yum, yum, yum! This LA girl is full and happy. My mouth is on fire and belly is full which is a sign of good Cajun food. Everything we ate was delicious- Boudin balls, shrimp opelousa, Boudreaux's sauce, flounder, and crawfish platter. The Boudreaux's sauce was so delicious, and the etouffee was well prepared. Will definitely be back many times when I need home cooking! They have chicken, burgers, and sandwiches for those who aren't big on seafood that looked good too. Large portions ensure you will not leave hungry! Nice little gem a short drive from Daphne that was well worth it. read more

The food was really good. We had crawfish étouffée, fried crawfish, and blackened mahi. The stuffed potatoes and hush puppies were the best part of the meal. It took a while to get our food. Server was apologetic and we liked her. read more

So this was my first lunch trip. Saturday lunch with the family. About 11:30 we just beat a crowd of people and was seated immediately. We started with boudin balls, which are outstanding. Everything was fresh and delicious. My daughter asked if she could have chicken Pontchartrain with blackened chicken. They obliged and that was very good. My daughter does not eat fish and the chicken was great with that crawfish and shrimp sauce. That's a new hit for us, the etouffee was fresh and probably the best I have had in years. The red beans and rice are a very tasty side item. But today the "other" side was green beans. They were without a doubt the best green beans I have ever had. They were well seasoned and fresh. We love this place and will be back again soon. read more

My guilty pleasure. Unassuming location. Clean with ample parking. Great menu, never disappointed by anything I've had here. The daily specials always satisfy. Service is awesome.
