In a small town like Lompoc, Cajun Kitchen Cafe easily takes top billing as the best breakfast spot! Cajun Kitchen Cafe serves up your usual comfort breakfast foods while dishing out some favorites from The Big Easy! My buddy and I ordered the beignets and we were surprised by the good quality and taste of them. They came out piping hot and the texture was airy and crispy. I ordered the breakfast burrito for myself and it was a little disappointing. The eggs inside were a little too runny and not much seasoning was present between the filling. Service was attentive, great considering how busy they were for Sunday brunch. Prices were reasonable for the giant serving portions too. i can't wait to come back and try more of their southern food. read more

It was recommended to us by local residents. We were not disappointed. Busy Sunday morning but we were seated quickly. Service was very good. The menu is extensive and our choices were great. Eggs Benedict and Western Omelette. We will be back soon. read more

Service was neglectful, was literally just in there and left before we could even order. It's unusual for us to get this kind of service from here. It wasn't too busy everyone in there had been in there for a while enjoying their food already. We were seated and another family was seated after us. We were given our menus the server left us to look it over like normal. She came back and we ordered our drinks and she left again. She came back with our drinks and instead of taking our order ( mind you we're completely ready to order our food) she leaves and doesn't come back. Meanwhile the family that was sat after us had gotten their drinks and had already ordered. This server kept walking around nonchalantly talking to her coworkers but kept ignoring us. She'd walk to every other table except ours and refill their drinks & walk back to were the other servers were and just start chatting so finally we decided to just get up and leave. As we were leaving they still had the audacity to laugh at us. If this isn't horrible customer service I don't know what is. I will literally just walk out every time I see her if I decide to go back again. If I could add zero stars I would. read more

Be prepared to wait on weekends for breakfast, but that is a good sign. Today I'm having the asparagus, mushroom, avocado & feta scramble. Whitney is having the crab cake eggs benedict, and Micah is having french toast. Always get the biscuit or cornbread, homemade and delicious. Easily the best breakfast in Lompoc. The lunch menu is amazing too. read more

Cajun Kitchen has been our place to go for over 5 years. My husband got there before us since we know it's always busy and he had to go to work. We waited over an hour to get seated and they skipped us a couple times even when I let them know we would take a booth (they always seat us in one without a problem). Our turn came to be seated and we ordered our drinks and I tried to ask if my husband could order because he had to go to work, the waitress ignored me. Our drinks were brought out 10 minutes after someone took our order and we gave them more time before deciding to catch someone to let them know we were leaving because our toddler was crying at this point (she was hungry) and my husband had to go to work. We didn't even get to finish our drinks. As a an experienced server I would suggest you organize your employees more. I've gotten better service when the floor was being ran by our 3 regular servers than over 5+ employees you had this morning. It's not okay to skip on your customers, It's not okay to not acknowledge your customers. It's not okay to charge for drinks we didn't even get to finish or enjoy with our meal. We're definitely taking our service over to A-Host. We shouldn't have to wait almost 2 hours for drinks, had we waited we would've been having breakfast past noon. If you can't control your floor please stop taking tables until everyone is taken care of. Seating 3 tables of 6 at once when you already have a full restaurant screams disaster waiting to happen. read more

Came in for brunch on a Sunday by myself. Of course there were tons of families and large groups, so I had to write my name down. I stood outside and played games on my phone waiting to be called...nope. I finally went in and was like, um hey, don't forget about me and they put me at this odd bar right next to the kitchen. FYI if you go and are dining alone, you should ask for this so you don't have to wait around. I had some kind of blackened lemon pork sausage with eggs and a biscuit. The biscuit was not very good--fluffy in some spots, hard in others, but they have a lot of jelly choices? The sausage wasn't really blackened either. :( Overall the food was meh, service was good when I could find it. ***Open for Breakfast & lunch only read more

they were polite and kept check-in on us. The jambalaya was fire but the pancakes dry as my elbow no syrup was helping read more

My family has been here a bunch of times but I had not. They had been telling me that the omelettes and chops and beignets were wonderful...and they were not kidding. My wife and I had brunch here recently. I had a pork chop with two eggs, toast, and home fries. My lovely wife had an incredible bacon/cheese omelette with pancakes and a butt-load of hash browns. And we brought a double order of beignets home for the little ones. The food was great; service was quick and professional, and the coffee is a solid 5 stars. Not a fancy place but the food is great and the price is right. James c. (Elite '18 in my own mind ;-/) read more

Friends have taken me to two different Cajun Kitchen's and both made my mouth happy. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal and I love a place that can make eggs interesting. The fine folks at Cajun Kitchen have found a way to do it, serving up all the traditional dishes for breakfast, but also several others with a Louisiana influence, like Jambalaya and Eggs. I had an omelet both times (Roz's and the New Orleans) and would happily keep working my way through the remaining omelet choices if I lived near one of the restaurants. Not to mention the Jambalaya and Eggs...again. One of the friends at the table ordered this and it made me wish my stomach was big enough to handle two breakfasts. If you're in Santa Barbara, definitely check out one of their two locations. By the way, while the location isn't on their website, they also have a restaurant in Lompoc. read more

Cajun Kitchen Cafe - The New Orleans omelet with Homefries. Delicious! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lompoc, California

Visited for breakfast at 0745. Place was perfect. Few people, sat right away. Restaurant is very clean and well lit. Coffee was so fresh and food was delicious! Wait staff were friendly. Will come back again!! read more

I've eaten there multiple times and normally have no complaint about the food. I always order the Crawfish Etoufee. This time the dish was inedible due to the crawfish and other critters being rotten and vile-tasting. Took one bite and spit it out. Yuck! I paid nearly $22 for a medium bowl of etoufee plus a small glass of juice. Way overpriced given the poor quality and zero ambience. Also they use plastic glasses, cups and plates, which reminds me of a school lunchroom. read more

Very busy especially on Sunday morning. Waited about 30 min before we got seated then another 15 before we got our food. The food was great but pretty sure I paid more than what we had ordered. Didn't really look at the receipt but after we left did realize it was pricey. Great place but won't be back anytime soon. read more

Cajun Kitchen Cafe will forever have a very special place in my heart. Great food - great service - super quick kitchen - and consistently the BEST place to get breakfast anywhere in Lompoc... read more

Fast and friendly service. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back here again.

Sooooooo good! I had the Gumbo and it was excellent!! Too bad they aren't open for dinner.

Highly recommend. Since moving to Lompoc, I've been there twice and enjoy everything I've ordered. People are very friendly and the food is delicious. read more

Came here one time and maybe I will come back again if I ever visit Lompoc. The customer service was real sweet and it does get busy here. The eggs Benedict that I ordered were not so great, the hollandaise sauce tastes a bit weird and I don't know if the eggs were sitting to be served too long but they were not warm that's for sure. read more

I've eaten here two days in row because it's hard to find a keto friendly place to eat. I had the blackened catfish yesterday and the steak & eggs today, both were good. The service is quick and friendly. I will definitely eat here again when I'm back in Lompoc. read more

The beignets are so delicious! I always have such a dilemma picking here because everything on the menu sounds so good. I always get stuck between the jambalaya and eggs and the eggs Benedict. Both are always so excellent. The corn bread with apple butter are something I have to order every single time, definitely a favorite!! read more

Stopped in for lunch today for what was my second visit to the Cajun Kitchen Cafe. This is a breakfast and lunch place with kind of a mom-and-pop feel. The menu lists traditional hot breakfast items, American lunch staples such as burgers and sandwiches all while featuring Cajun house specialties. The service was phenomenal the whole way through: I was seated as soon as I walked in and the waitress got my drinks and took my order only a few minutes afterwards, even though they were moderately busy. The food didn't take long at all and was served piping hot. The hustle and friendliness the wait staff displayed ought to be the benchmark for customer service. I ordered the Cajun combo which consisted of: gumbo filé, a shared plate of red beans & rice/small salad, and sweet corn bread with apple butter. The gumbo featured chicken, andouille sausage, rice, and chopped fresh green onions. The consistency/texture was spot on however the dish was overall bland, lacking colorful flavor and heat whose food the restaurant's namesake is especially known for. To be fair, they stocked hot sauces in the table's condiment basket, but this really just needed a healthy dose of "Old Bay." The beans & rice side wasn't bad, but again lacked flavor. It could've been straight out of a Taco Bell burrito. The biggest disappointment of the meal was the accompanying salad covered in a watery ranch dressing and capped by an under-ripened tomato. There is no excuse for this considering this is the middle of summer. On a positive note, the cornbread was very moist and the apple butter it's served with actually goes well together. They serve decent portion sizes, however it seems that's their focus; not quality. Overall, I'd liken it to hospital food--I wouldn't refuse to eat it but I wouldn't seek it out either. I think people like it here because it's one of the cleaner 'down-home' places in Lompoc. If you're visiting from out of the area there are much better options for you to consider first. However, if you're just looking to fill up the gas tank with generic slop, then stop on in. Being a middle of the road experience it should get 2.5 stars, but I'll round up due to the exceptional service and cornbread. read more

It was edible at best. Wouldn't reccomend. Meant to leave this review a few months ago when we ate there. It was our first time, as we had just moved here. Nothing special for the price you pay. read more

Lompoc locals LOVE our Cajun Kitchen! I took two visitors there last week and they were blown away by the great food and friendly service. I was proud as usual! Wish they stayed open later in the day, especially with their all-day menu (not just breakfast.) I remember a motto a short order chef told me years ago: "When in doubt, eat eggs!" Well, at Cajun you can eat eggs and everything else and love it all. read more

Came in for a quick bit. We beat the lunch rush by 10 minutes (1045 to 1230). I ordered the crawfish étouffée. It came magma-level hot and I had to wait for it to cool down but worry not! It was accompanied by a piece of cornbread with butter and some apple butter. Cornbread was excellent. The étouffée itself was hearty in rice and flavor and very generous in the amount of crawfish. You could find chunks liberally added. Good looking out on the cook for not skimping on crawfish. The husband ordered biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns. The biscuits are HUGE. He thought the gravy was good too and also studded throughout with bits of sausage. The hash browns did not impress but the food was excellent otherwise. read more

So I came to Cajun Kitchen because my parents like eating here. I was visiting them and they wanted to go to breakfast. Mind you, many years ago I lived in the town in which this establishment occupies...but that was a very long time ago, what feels like another life. The waitress and hostess were friendly enough. And while they got my order really wrong (Ah, veggie omelette not ham and cheese) the remake came with remarkable speed. As I understand it, this is the best place in Lompoc for breakfast. read more

Food and staff were great! Really enjoyed the corn bread. Would come back for a wonderful breakfast.

Great breakfast restaurant. Not being a local, so every time we come here we make it a point to stop and grab a great meal. Never been disappointed. The coffee is excellent, the beignets are also great, especially the loaded order, as is the large waffle in addition to the jambalaya......superb!! read more

Food is mediocre at best, super slow service but generous portion at a reasonable price

Best breakfast food spot in town. I just wish they were open past 2:30 because often times i have a craving for this place and they are closed. The corned beef hash is amazing. It doesn't look like it was slopped out of a Hormel can. Haven't had a bad omelette here either. Coffee is a little bit better than the other spots in town, as in it doesn't taste like earth. But it could be better. Those are my only gripes. Highly suggest this place over the others in Lompoc. read more

Always super busy which is good and bad lol. This place has a large menu with a great variety of options for breakfast and lunch since they are closed for dinner.
