Yellow rice, orange chicken Cajun veggies
Duane S.

Came to see a movie in a Manchester Ct and stopped at Cajun Cafe and grill. The workers were friendly and service was quick. And I don't usually eat this type of food due to a past bad experience. But this place has amazing food. So if your in the area stop by and try this.

a plate of food

One of the few original places at Buckland with original owners, they've been there for 22 years. Awesome food at a great price. I recommend the rice, potatoes, orange chicken and spicy bourbon chicken. Owners are very friendly and they even give out free samples if you ask.

Orange Chicken with Yellow Rice
Lindsay J.

One of the better places in the food court to grab food at Buckland Hills Mall. The people behind the counter are friendly and have been here since the beginning. They have the same handful of offerings every day which I think allows for the quality of the food to be average and not horrible. There is consistency. Basically, you have your choice of small, medium or large boxes (always get to-go as they put a ton of food in each one instead of a plate). Rice or noodles (and the rice is pretty good...palatable, not dry and almost like a fried rice...almost) You can get roasted potatoes, Bourbon Chicken, Orange Chicken, BBQ spareribs. Those are the choices. A small to-go box and a Snapple ran me around $8. Orange Chicken is pretty good. Bourbon Chicken is the favorite among guests and pretty decent.

Typical mall food court fare. It's passable, but that's about all. And there's nothing Cajun about this food at all.

Max Fish will have something great for any seafood and fish lover. Everything I tried here was…read moregreat, with great dish combinations as well as perfectly cooked fish. We had the sampler to start where every item was either fresh raw seafood or some clever seafood mix. The calamari salad has some great sauce with it and the trio of crudo has some wonderful fish. The Grilled Atlantic Swordfish was perfection. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and it went so well with the romesco. All the sides worked so well together and it is one of the most well put together dishes I've had. I also tried the scallops. The ricotta gnocchi with the Marsala sauce is fantastic and the scallops are cooked perfectly as well. Very rarely do you get a seafood place that knows both how to cook it and how to pair it but Max Fish does so expertly.

The 1 star rating is based on food ONLY. My server Dominic was so kind and attentive along with all…read morethe other staff they all deserve 5/5 stars!! I have been coming to max fish for some time now and between dinner drinks apps and dessert for 2-3 people you average $300 which is fine but recently the past two times I've come here the food just hasn't been as good as before making it not nearly worth almost a Car payment amount. The only item consistently delicious is the buffalo shrimp otherwise everything has been a hit or miss. I got oysters and they tasted a tad funky and I got the seafood pasta dish and it did not have much flavor besides the red pepper flakes, which I put in it. Otherwise it tasted very plain and bland and watery which was disappointing since I was excited for it and for $40. The dessert option brown butter cookie just tasted very bland as well seemed like the cookie packs I buy at the grocery store and make at home.

Upon entering, we found the wait staff chatting with each other at the seats or serving the handful of customers in the dining room. Decor was heavily coffee influenced-- from the wallpaper to the wall art, it's obvious a cup of joe plays a role here. We ordered a smattering of breakfast dishes and of course, two of the poutine dishes. Overall the food was just ok, not memorable. The pancakes had a nice texture but were largely flavorless; maple syrup helped somewhat but that ended up being the only flavor. Eggs were serviceable, potatoes were fine. The poutine was okay. I've had much better in Canada. Theirs felt like a beef based gravy out on top of French fries, with pockets of cheese curds, which were the better part of the meal. The Quebecois poutine was better, with added ham & veggies to add some complexity. The downside of our visit came as we approached their closing hour of 2pm. The crew started cleaning up and vacuuming around us as we were still eating before close. I had a single cup of coffee, and when I asked for a refill, the waitress apologized and said they poured it out because it was getting close to closing time. Ironic, considering the amount of pro-coffee memorabilia around the restaurant. We hadn't even hit closing but pouring out the coffee while a table was still eating didn't cross anyone's mind. (Nor cleaning around us, passively encouraging us to leave.) The coffee wasn't removed from the bill in recognition that maybe they made a mistake. Overall.. eh. I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. I'm sure it's fine for the regulars, but this wasn't worth the long trip for what I was hoping was a callback to Quebec faire, in Connecticut.

I once was a fan of the KFC. I recall munching the Kentucky goodness back in the day. But those…read moredays have gone down the friggin' tubes! I keep running into dried up, half a$$ed , wtf chicken. Then the Popeyes showed up, and im feeling better now. Yes I miss the Colonels taters and gravy, but I suppose I could get his sides and eat them with Popeyes chicken. ( Popeyes green beans are pretty good). Big fan of the elusive chicken sandwich as well. I was getting them before they became trendy and was happy to be able to get a decent crispy chicken sandwich. I'd tried the abominable thing they call a chicken sandwich at Chick Fil A, and was sooo not impressed. Lame chicken and shameful politics!! Screw those guys!! Popeyes Chicken sandwich with a pickle on it works for me. I should go get one right now. Decent friendly crew always seems to be running around. OOPS!! 06/06/2020 UPDATE!! IS THIS A GAME CHANGER?? So today I go in for some more chicken sandwiches and a nice counter girl takes my order. But while I am waiting, I notice a lack of napkins. Hmm, mysterious. But on the main counter IS a napkin holder, but its facing the wrong direction. More mystery!! So of course I turn the thing around and grab a few napkins, and suddenly... THE NAPKIN POLICE!!! Some other counter girl shouts ' DEBBIE! WATCH YOUR NAPKINS!!" ( named changed to protect the innocent) and she spins the napkin holder back around with a scowl. The 'napkin security guard' then proceeds to talk down to Debbie, not sure if this is cus 'Debbie' is new or 'Debbie' is latino, but when 'Debbie' finally gets my order on a tray in front of me.... ....she tries to give me a few napkins. Like a good counter girl should. The napkin gestapo girl scolds her, " THEY ALREADY GOT THEIR NAPKIN!!!" How lame is this? Ok, I guess they are cutting down on napkin consumption by monitoring their napkins, but FOR CRIPES SAKE, don't do this in front of customers!! And dont make your customers feel like NAPKIN THIEVES!! Still like those chicken sandwiches though, but...MINUS ONE STAR for the gal in glasses and her snotty napkin attitude.

This Popeyes is usually good but lately they've been slacking. I ordered via mobile app and…read moreselected for a specific time to pick up. When I got at my scheduled time, I was asked to wait 20 minutes because they didn't have enough chicken for my 10 piece meal deal. I waited, thought they forgot about me because so many cars and patrons had gone through the drive thru and in and out of the restaurant and was told there still wasn't enough chicken. Waited some more for a total of 40 minutes! Got home with my family's dinner after a long road trip only to find many pieces of chicken were undercooked! At this point we decided to trash the food because it wasn't worth getting sick over. I am so disappointed and disgusted with this specific location.

Mind you every time we go it's $180 or so not including tip. It's 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We always get their rocking nachos and sometimes fried calamari. Their food is good the majority of the time. There's been a few times there nacho's been stale but I noticed last time that the portion was way smaller. I noticed since it's 5 of us and I asked them about it and they admitted that they made the portion smaller due to whatever I don't even remember what their excuse was but whatever. My kids don't like any of their bbq menu or sauces they really don't like the smokiness or the taste. My son likes to order their steak frites which is $35. Usually there's 2 or 3 of us that have that. Lately though I've change my order to chicken alfredo which I really like. They're sauce is nice and thick and hot unlike some places I've been to. Anyways when we went there today HUNGRY and wanting to get some food they told me there's a cover charge of $15. I told them we were there to eat dinner and my bill was gonna be over $150 but they said it still applied. So I chose to leave and walked out. I could've paid the $15 but I was making a point. Why should I pay extra $15 cover charge when that $15 can go towards a waiter/waitress tip?It was annoying to know that we already there hungry and ready to sit down and eat and their charging an extra $15 like there was an event or something. There was nothing going on. Who knows, I feel maybe bcuz I'm Puerto Rican they wanted to charge me extra. For as long as I've gone there the owner never has acknowledged us as regular customers. I don't want to give them an extra $15. Everything is expensive everywhere we go. Gas, groceries, everything. I could've cooked at home but I decided to treat my family out to dinner and they ask me for a cover charge. I don't think so. So I walked out and went to Maggie McFly's and paid about $172 w/tip. So I'm writing this review to say that they weren't going to get an extra cent out of me. Another person probably would've just paid it but there's been plenty of times that customers just go there to line dance or play bingo an are just not ordering anything close to the amount of money I'm paying. They're probably getting a burger and a drink so for them to ask for a cover charge when there are 5 of us for dinner is ridiculous and greedy of them.. I don't think I will be going back for in person eating
