    Taylor's bartending is so amazing, great personality and amazing drinks. Their staff especially our favorite guy Grady are so kind and wonderful! Hangover burger is over the top and we will continue to come by once a week!

    The service was absolutely amazing, our waitress was a 10/10. The food was nothing to write home about, it lacked flavor and there was way too much salt in my entree. The appetizer.was just cheese no shrimp or crab were present and the chips were burnt. The inside was ok but boy oh boy that restroom was filthy. It wasn't too loud in there and the space wasn't too crowded. I just wish there were more flavors.

    I came for Sunday brunch and had a good experience overall. I felt bad for my server though. Seems to be staffing issue. Just something to keep in mind. We ordered the creole seafood dip, fried pickles, raw oysters, gumbo, Mardi Gras scramble, blue crab Benedict, and Cajun pastalaya. Most of everything was enjoyable. Creole seafood dip was tasty. They don't skimp on the seafood. Fried pickles were good. Raw oysters were so fishy. Not enjoyable at all. Maybe I went on a bad day. I'm not sure. The gumbo was extremely salty and the rice was hard. I've ordered this to go one day previously and it tasted good. So there is a huge inconsistency there. Mardi Gras scramble was also great. However there was some burnt egg in the scramble and those bites didn't taste too good. Blue crab Benedict was tasty. Generous amount of blue crab, surprisingly. Cajun pastalaya - great. Beignets hit. I think my favorite dish was the Mardi Gras scramble aside from the burnt parts of egg. We also ordered mimosas which were barely cold, basically room temp. Would be much better served cold. I would like to come back to try other items on the menu.

    We came a few times, and mainly had to come back cause the wait times were either an hour or more. We didn't have the patience to wait that long lol. We finally got in without a wait around 2-3 pm one Saturday . It was still pretty packed, though. We started off with the chargrilled oysters. I loved it sooooooo much!!!! It was definitely my favorite thing here. It came out with some toasted bread. The oysters were topped with garlic herb and Parmesan. Everything was perfect about it. We also tried the gumbo, and shrimp & catfish platter. Those weren't bad. The fried shrimps were actually bigger than what I expected. At a lot of places, the fried shrimp aren't as big as here. In all, I didn't have a bad experience and will have to come back to try their steamed items and eat some more of their chargrilled oysters.

    Been to this restaurant multiples times (so you know it's worth it) Typically a little busy but nothing crazy and wait times are small. Waiter was very attentive and helpful. Appetizer - Cajun Crawfish & Queso - 8/10 Can never go wrong with a queso that fits the restaurants vibe. Queso was hot and flavorful. Didn't really taste the crawfish that much as the queso overpowered it. Fresh Jalapeños was a good touch. Chips where nothing crazy. Entrees - Bayou Chicken - 8.2/10 Supposed to be stuffed chicken but chicken is just placed on top but no complaints. Chicken wasn't dry and it had a good little kick (spice level 4/10). Paired well with the crab on the side. Ordered fries as my side and they were hot and fresh, also recommend the Cajun mashed potatoes as a side. Cajun Pastalaya - 9/10 My GF ordered this and it had all of her favorite meats in one, juicy chicken, savory sausage. Spicy shrimp. (Spice level 5/10 - Smoky chipotle spicy) pasta was cooked perfectly all meshed well with the Cajun sauce. Drink - Hurricane - Cat 5 - 8/10 My Gf likes alcohol and she get this every-time we go. Tropical vibes , citrusy and sweet. Plus the extra shot on top makes strong and a plus.

    Food was good, gave me lots of crawfish however the seasoning was not amazing. Beignets were amazing. The service was ok. The atmosphere was great and lively, there is a stage so I assume they play live music. Joe burrow in the bathroom.

    Blackened mahi and crawfish

    This was disappointing. Let me start by sharing that I've had a wonderful experience at the Franklin, TN location. My father and I dined here for lunch. One of the reasons we came here was due to the chargrilled oysters and seafood options. I loved the chargrilled oysters at the other location so we ordered a dozen as they're one of my favorite foods. It took a long time to arrive, so much so that our waitress was apologetic for the long wait. Once they arrived I noticed they didn't look right. Some were abnormally swollen looking, they didn't have Parmesan, a couple were burnt, and they gave us a huge bowl of the Rockefeller mixture- which is odd because we didn't order the Rockefeller oysters. They were awful. Chewy, flavorless, watery and gave the impression that they were frozen before we ordered them. I assume that may be why the wait was lengthy. I appreciate our waitress for returning them and removing them from the bill. My father ordered the crawfish. They came with unmelted butter blobs in the mix of crawfish which was unusual. Some were mush, a few were dead before cooking, and they didn't have corn so he had to sub a different side. It just wasn't the experience he was hoping for given crawfish are in season and this place is sort of known for its Cajun food. I ordered the blackened mahi with seasonal vegetables. The fish was okay but the seasoning was too salty. The coconut rice was like dessert, which may be a thing for some but it was overly sweet that I couldn't eat it. Who wasn't sugary rice with fish? The mango salsa was a bit flavorless but you only get a tablespoon so it's not much to add to the dish and the vegetables were overly cooked as much of it was mushy. I was so hungry I ate the vegetables and my fish but noticed that there was a ton of minced garlic to the point I had to drink a whole glass of water just to get the food down. I don't believe I would come back. Maybe this location is only good on weekends? If we decided to try again, we'd return to the Franklin location.

    Had a great night out with a buddy here at Cajun Steamer. Great food and good drinks! I truly love this place, it is very very good. The Boudin & Queso was different but very good and the Oyster Rockefeller were very good too, but the best was the seafood platter!

    I don't give out to many five stars but this place definitely is one of the best places I've visited in awhile. From the service to the flavor was superb. Our waitress was awesome, someone was always clearing empty dishes and ensuring our drinks were always full. Having a family of 4 it's rare we all agree that the food was awesome. But in this case EVERYONE agreed. That deserves 10 stars because that NEVER happens with one pre-teen and one teen. We started with the gator bites and they were cooked to perfection. Most of the time places over cook them or they don't have a bursting flavor cajun steamers has . I had the Red Fish and my lord it was cooked perfect and the flavor was tasty. The wife had the shrimp and grits and loved it. Only thing I was a little disappointed with was they didn't have crawfish étouffée as a main dish only a side. My son got it and it was good but a little soupier than I like. But it was a side dish not a main dish so it's ok... not a deal breaker. Can't wait to try the other menu items. I just hope once the newness wears off it stays the same and the flavor and service doesn't leave with the newness. If it doesn't I'll be there every week especially especially during crawfish season !!!

    My first visit to Cajun Steamer (within a few days of opening) was less than stellar so I wanted to give them another try. Sat at the bar and Megan got me a beer while I looked at the menu. I went with the Zydeco Catfish...nice filet over rice and covered with crawfish etouffee and came with a side of steamed veggies. The dish was good, the breading on the fish light, and the etouffee had good flavor with a little kick. The side of steamed veggies overwhelmingly tasted like peppers (was basically 90% peppers) versus a mix of squash, carrots, and broccolini. Overall the meal was good and the service was excellent, but based on my experience not comparable to Cajun restaurants I have enjoyed.

My go-to drink is the Dirty Hippie--it never disappoints. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It is on the pricier side, but the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. Parking can be tricky but we always get lucky and find something around the square.

The food is delivered to your table. While waiting, I noticed that the old building has a faint mold smell that would have set my wife's allergies off. I was alone on a lunch break. I ordered their Greatest American Hero burger with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and perfectly cooked. They were great. The burger was perfectly cooked and had enough lettuce that the fresh crunch came through. Joanie's Magic Sauce was served on the side. It was good with the burger but not the fries. This was my first trip here and I can recommend it. The burger was better than average. I'd give it a 7.8 out of 10. Other than the moldy smell, I can recommend it. The condiments are in small packets on a wall, which I didn't care for, but not the end of the world.
