Seafood was just ok, the potatoes were seared way too long on the grill and tasted burnt. Service was friendly, but for being one of two tables in the entire place it took a long time to get our food. read more

This place says they are open at 11am on Saturday. We got everyone ready only for them to be close. Please update your hours.

Catfish w beans and rice was excellent. Perfect lunch to share. Huge portion. Beer selection is very good and delicious. Owners very nice and friendly. read more

I'll start off with something nice. The staff there is very nice and apologetic. I ordered the Hot lobster dip. I was thinking it was chunks of lobster dipped in butter or something. I should have asked. It was a cold artichoke and I think there was some lobster in there. I asked if it was suppose to be hot but they said it was suppose to be spicy but it wasn't. I also ordered the jambalaya it didn't come on rice which was no big deal they brought some. Then I noticed there was no shrimp or sausage in it. Only a few small pieces of chicken. I just gave up at that point. Good flavor but not like any Jambalaya I have ever had. read more

Really good food. Great staff. We stopped in over the 4th of July weekend and will go back next we're in town.

We ordered three jambalaya's, fried okra, and the lobster dip. The dip was OK. The fried okra was tasteless, no flavor spices in the breading. The jambalaya was so soggy. It had no texture at all, even the sausage was so mushy that you couldn't tell you were chewing meat. It was the worst jambalaya we've ever had. The server seemed to not be enjoying herself that night. Two stars instead of one because the lobster dip was OK, a tasty bottled sangria, and a Cook came by with a smile on her face to ask how we were doing. read more

My wife and I ordered take out from this restaurant and our experience was quite disappointing to say the least For one, both the Facebook as well as Yelp page say you are open at 5pm (according to the staff they aren't, when I called at 5 I was told to call back at 6). So when we called at 6, I was told the food would be ready in 30 minutes which is completely fair for the dinner time rush on a Monday night. I got there around 6:30 to see if the food was ready - it wasn't. So I was told to hang out outside and they will let me know when it's done. Another 30 minutes go by and not a peep. So I went inside and another lady told me that my food has BEEN ready and they were waiting for ME to come and get it.... Excuse me? There is some serious miscommunication going on in that restaurant, I really hope that gets addressed. As far as the food itself, how do you undercook steamed rice? We had crunchy steamed rice with the gumbo and crunchy rice in the jambalaya. I understand that this is a new restaurant that's just starting up but you CANT serve undercooked steamed rice to customers who are paying you as much as you're asking. To add insult to injury, the portion sizes were absolutely abysmal on both the seafood gumbo and the jambalaya... Do not make the mistake of coming here starving like we did. The seasoning on the gumbo was decent but a bit heavy on the salt. The jambalaya was very basic and lacked creativity. Also, can you guys please get better containers or at least wrap them for take out orders? The gumbo spilled all over everything that was in my bag on the way home. read more

Cajun Corner - Gumbo - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Amazing flavors, great service. Brought home the leftovers and they disappeared. Will definitely be back again.

A little shop on the corner from the 49th Street Brewery. The Cajun Corner has a limited menu but what a nice menu it is! All the New Orleans favorites plus a very nice selection of beers - all Alaskan Brewers including my favorite Alaskan Brewing Co. The mugs the beer comes in are chilled and hold the temperature of the beers. This little cafe is very intimate, quiet and bright with wonderful sun. If the music gets loud the owner will gladly tune it down. Easy to get to when downtown and I noticed still has a table or two available at lunch - so no waiting. Customers seem courteous and not loud. No larger parties when I have been there. Superior place for a one person quick lunch, friends lunch, client lunch -also has take out. For several people there is a Cajun Corner Platter that is $160.00 & a Family size platter. Now do not cringe as I dare you to purchase the ingredients to make at home and do as good a job for the price. I have not had it but I did see it at another table and it was amazing. It would be appreciated if you called ahead for that one. Not required but I am sure appreciated. I have had the Jambalaya, shrimp and catfish. All made in house. Superior food and easy to take to your desk or enjoy as a stress reducer. My only negative would be the tartar sauce. It is flat and tasteless. Go and get ready to come back out de-stressed and satisfied. read more

Oh my gosh, so good. Who would've thought you can get awesome beans & rice with andouille sausage in Anchorage. A guy at a different table had the king crab legs. Pricey, but they were huge. I'm pretty sure we're making a 2nd trip & having the crab legs. To top it off, our server was attentive without being cloying & we met the owner, who seems to really care about her patrons opinions. read more

Delicious Cajun food. All cooked fresh. Prices very reasonable for high quality food. Decorated nicely and clean. Owner working hard yet took time to speak to patrons! Keep up the good work! read more

Cajun Corner - the interior of a restaurant - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Came downtown for some fabulous cajun catfish and was not disappointed! My Husband ordered the jambalaya with white rice while our friend and I ordered the fried catfish with red beans and rice. The starter was lobster dip with a charred garlic bread. Everything was seasoned to perfection, served fresh and hot. Our beers and sodas were served in frosty mugs and complimented our dinner. The owner, Shannon was a doll and very attentive to these diners needs and wants. The decor is adorable, well appointed and extremely clean!! What a gorgeous little spot to eat great food, enjoy cold drinks and enjoy looking out the huge windows to watch all the people of Anchorage milling about. Will definitely be returning. I hope to see a catfish sandwich on the menu in the future. read more

The restaurant was very cozy and Shannon was incredibly helpful, located across the street from 49th State is this hidden gem. The food is fried but definitely worth a try i had the catfish and fried okra also there is beer on tap. read more

This place is always sooooo packed and now I see why. The wait was a bit longer than expected, however once we noticed everything was home cooked right in front of you, it all made sense. Be prepared to wait 20-30min for food. Nothing beats home cooked food, hard to find in Alaska. We ordered the platter of seafood. We had leftovers and of course ordered cake. We saw a lot of catfish heading past our table and it looked fabulous!!!! Thanks Cajun Corner, I'll be back. read more

Best Shrimp, and it is teally done right. Nice sauce, and a unique home made recipe.

The service was fabulous as the food .... Shrimp, potatoes, corn and fries. The staff including the cook/owner said thank you. We will be back!!! read more

We tried going to 49th Street Brewing, and there was a 2-hour wait for even the bar. We went across the street to Cajun Corner The owner was upfront that she had staffing issues and couldn't serve a big food order. But, we enjoyed her German cake, fried okra, and beers. They have a good cross-section of craft beers in Anchorage. The owner was lovely, and I hope when I'm in Anchorage again to try her full menu! read more

Go early. Their jambalaya will likely sell out if you don't get there before 6:00. Also, service is sketchy. I ordered shrimp and fries. After finishing my shrimp I asked my waitress where the fries were and she said, "I wasn't sure if you still wanted those." Hmmmm. Last we spoke I clearly said, I would like the shrimp AND the fries. Don't know where the confusion could be. Just admit to me that you forgot them. Not a good waitress. Shrimp was fine. read more

It wouldn't take much to take this restaurant to the next level. Jambalaya must include shrimp, it's just that simple. The rice should be cooked with tomatoes and andouille drips, another must element. Should not be the consistency of a soup. Shred the chicken. Lobster dip is a mess. No flavor. Cold. Not enough bread included. All Cajun restaurant should have at least one po-boy on the menu. Service and atmosphere is great... just dim the lights for dinner please. read more

This place was incredible! Was originally planning on going to 49th Street Brewing but then saw Cajun Corner across the street and immediately went in. My mom and I got the Cajun Corner platter, which had king crab, crawfish, crab, potatoes, and corn on the cob. The flavors and seasoning was INCREDIBLE, and everything tasted so fresh. We got it spicy, which I highly recommend, plus a side of rice to soak up that sauce. read more

Cajun Corner - Cajun Corner Platter - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Amazing spot! Great hospitality and ambience. The food was all so fresh and tasty. Exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring.

Great spot to get some southern food, the staff is extremely nice and the cook is amazing. The food is rich with flavor and you can taste everything. I'm from Mississippi and am overjoyed with how great the food, staff, and location of this spot. Great spot read more

Soooo good! Definitely the quality you're looking for! Got the Jambalaya new favorite!

Visited 6/18/2021. Skip the 49th parallel, try some southern food. Cajun Corner was friendly and welcoming and has delicious food! We were lucky enough to get to try gumbo, shrimp boil, jambalaya and catfish. It was all soooo good. I really enjoyed the gumbo and the boil. The shrimp, crab and corn were just perfect! We also had a slice of yellow cake with chocolate frosting that was delicious. Plenty of local beers on tap, and did I mention, GREAT SERVICE! read more

Growing up on Cajun food (Mom's family are from Louisiana) I'm not easily impressed with restaurant Cajun food. But when I tried the gumbo I knew that the chef knew what he was doing. Found out he was from Baton Rouge which explained a lot. His gumbo is the best I've had anywhere. (including New Orleans/Baton Rouge) Saw some reviews regarding the time it takes for food to be prepared and I guess if you compare to fast food it does take awhile but I enjoyed talking with the staff and cook and had no problem with the wait. It is worth the extra time. Never thought I would be able to get authentic Cajun food in Anchorage but this place is well worth putting on your list if you like Cajun food. read more

Cannot say enough about the amazing service and food! They were understaffed due to covid when we were there and the waitresses were doing so many things at once but still made it over to our table multiple times to check on how we were doing. The food was super yummy and authentic. 10/10 recommend! read more

Cajun Corner - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Waited 3 hours for mediocre service and incredibly small portions. I wish I took pics. Line was out the door however we said we would never go back. We wanted the 1lb bucket, with shrimp, crawfish and crab. My 16 year old sister also just wanted a side of crab and potatoes. We ordered crab, asked for butter.... We were almost done with the meal by the time they brought it after asking a 3rd time. They charged us the $59.99 plus her $5.00 potatoes. We should have clarified. Also... 2 people came in well over 20 mins after our table of 4 and was served before us. Wish I could give no stars.... read more

We traveled from New York to Alaska to fish. This restaurant is a MUST! Shannon and the staff are AWESOME! The food was fresh and INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere was Cozy. It was like being in New Orleans read more

Amazing food, we got the lobster dip and jambalaya to start (sharing with 4 people) perf ex t appetizer, then got a platter. Def worth checking out read more

Great place for tasty Cajun food. The owner/chef/hostess diva will charm you with her 1000 watt smile. The place is unassuming and relaxed with some terrific local beers. The food was on point. We had tiger shrimp, fried catfish, red beans, jambalaya and the awesome lobster spread. It's served with grilled buttered sourdough rounds. Make my mouth water just thinking about it. Get to this place while you can, I think it's going to be a hot destination. read more

Man this place is slamming you have to shell it out!!!! The food is amazing. Jennifer the owner truly is putting customer service back into small business. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! read more

Oh yeah Anchorage! This spot is on point! Tried to go to 49th State across the street and the wait was ~35 minutes. As we stepped outside the neon signs and word "Cajun" drew us in. We order the Gumbo and a number of wings. It was great, hearty, and exactly what we needed to refuel after traveling all day. Definitely planning on coming back but until then you should try it out for yourself! read more

the people are nice but it isn't cajun food (I lived in south Louisiana for 20 years-- moved to Anchorage after Hurricane Katrina). The cook said she is from Portland. I think this restaurant is a form of cultural appropriation. The jambalaya isn't jambalaya that any cajun would ever make (or think of eating). If you want cajun food, don't go to cajun corner. Go to south Louisiana. Any home cook makes better, more authentic cajun food that was served at cajun corner. If you want some (almost) spicy fish and support a couple of nice gals, go to cajun corner, just don't expect cajun food. read more

One bite of Chef Patrick's jambalaya or gumbo tells you that he knows what he's doing. The andouille is home-made and brought me back home to East Texas and the bayou. If you order the buckets though, make sure you give Chef Patrick the thumbs up to kick up the spice. Give the wait staff a number on a scale of 1-10 for how much cajun you want. Just make sure it's over a 5. 7 is even better. If you want the REAL cajun experience, tell 'em 10. You won't be disappointed. read more

Decent food but far too slow, about a 2 hour wait for food even with notice of a flight coming up from the start. Just ridiculous especially because kept saying 15 minutes longer then consequently delaying further read more

Give it a shot... you won't regret it. Everything I've had on the menu has been phenomenal. Catfish fingers... gumbo... jambalaya... all fabulous. The service is a little slow, but good food prepared right is always worth the little extra wait time. read more

Awesome new restaurant with great service! The gumbo was freakin' good and oh man they have fried okra! Definitely check'm out.

My experience at Cajun Corner may have been one of the most memorable and enjoyable expiernces I have ever had at a restaurant. The staff was extordanarily friendly and would go far out of their way to help you. The food was authentic true Cajun with all of the true flavors of the South. The side dishes were also delicious but I would have to say the Joumbalyia was by far my favorite. Cajun corner is a must try spot in Anchorage. read more
