A cockroach

I recommend no one is here. This food is real bad. I found a roach in my food did not wanna give me my money back. He tried to give me half of my money because he said we ate half the crawfish, but we didn't see it until we got into it. I recommend the one each year.

If you like seafood then CajunLand in the West Bank area of New Orleans is a treat. A multitude of different options to choose from. When you walk in you're warmly greeted by the staff. The place is set up like a market and the food is more buffet "ready to serve" style. I believe they have a menu for you to order additional things (fried fish, shrimp etc) that might require a wait if you so choose. My reason for stopping in was because I had a craving for crawfish. Crawfish still isn't yet in season, but $5.99/lb for pre-frozen in 2024 isn't all that bad. I ordered two pounds w/sausage, potato and an egg. I also had to get an everfresh (if you know you know if not, find out lol). Everything was good. I will say the flavor of their boil is a bit on the sweeter side compared to some of my fave spots out in the Shreveport area, but good nonetheless.

Located on the Bestbank close to Oakwood mall. The parking lot makes it look like it is crowded inside but it has calmed down a lot since they stopped accepting ebt. Employees are courteous. The time to wait for food is never long. Today, I had a taste for a hot sausage sandwich so I went with their homemade sausage on bun dressed w/cheese. It was a little spicy but it tasted amazing. I have not had a bad meal here! My favorites here are the grilled shrimp plates, fried shrimp plates, cajun rice, and potato salad (which they discontinued).

Trash crawfish that stunk up the house

On 05/13/2024, I went to this business to purchase crawfish.. When I walked in, I noticed the crawfish were a lil more pricey than other businesses. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIGN.... I asked the guy was the crawfish "FRESH LOUISIANA" in which he gave a facial expression and said "YEA"... SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIGN... I ordered 6lbs and went home... When I attempted to eat the crawfish I immediately notice the most of the crawfish were very light colored and not running the size of crawfish for around this time of year..... As I ate one, I immediately realized that the crawfish were not fresh but that were possibly imported, frozen, or redipped.... My wife tried them as well and we noticed that the crawfish were basically a mixture of imported, frozen, and Redipped..... TRASH TRASH TRASH ... ENDED UP THROWING EVERYTHING AWAY UNEATEN They also had an odor I guess this is why this place don't have a line out the door anymore

Shrimp Plate, Fried Rice
Teira R.

Lil quick eat spot in Terrytown, Cajunland Seafood! Tasty bites for cheap! My favorites here are the wings, shrimp plate and fried rice with extra duck sauce. I love that the shrimp are tail on! My only reason for taking a star is the odd color of the rice. I started to not eat it when I first found out about this place, but I went ahead and it's pretty good. Just don't forget the extra duck sauce! I have yet to try other items on the menu also.

CRAWFISH!
Ting H.

Although it is not crawfish season, coming to New Orleans for the first time, I was DETERMINED to try some crawfish! Met a nice lady who told me she had tried Cajunland the night before and talked about how delicious it was! Made the 30 minute drive and it was soooo worth it! The staff was super kind and accommodating and showing me the different goods they offer. They had other seafood there too but didn't have any room! Menu/Food: Regular Crawfish and Extra Spicy Crawfish, Red Rice & Beans Price: Crawfish $5.49/lb!!! So Cheap!! I wanted more!! Customer Service: Amazing, great staff! Super nice and helpful! Cleanliness: Pretty Clean! Yums: CRAWFISH CRAWFISH CRAWFISH

6" Shrimp poboy dressed
Jeremiah L.

Second visit. Great hot food. $3.99/lb crawfish right now. Love the shrimp, catfish, and house made hot sausage poboys. All come piping hot. Big shrimps, great dry. The gumbo is yummy. The two young guys working the front are very friendly and professional. I called an order in from ten minutes away and when I got there it came out as I was paying. A go to when I'm on the West Bank.

Short drive to Gretna with my grilled shrimp poboy and sweet tea from Cajunland.
Michael Y.

Had the grilled shrimp poboy, fully dressed. Possibly one of the best of New Orleans area foods. The freshest of shrimp and bread along with the most flavorful seasonings. Highly recommend going here. Only a short drive out of downtown to Terrytown.

The best crawfish and garlic butter snow crab legs I've ever had!!!!! I loved that they have options of regular, garlic butter and extra spicy crawfish. They also offer garlic butter or boiled snow crabs. I'll definitely be back!

Handmade hot sausage on a bun! So dang good!!!!

This was a very last minute decision as I wasn't able to score a reservation to Dakar. I am…read morehonestly glad that I failed because this was the best meal during my time in New Orleans. It's a little bit out of the way from where I was staying, but it was worth the trek. I started with a cup of their gumbo, which honestly, might have been the best gumbo I've ever had. It was so hearty, dark, and comforting. It felt like a hug. No notes. I only wished I had gotten a larger portion. Then I had their Shrimp & Grits. This was phenomenal. The sauce was so flavorful and I can see why people say this is the best in the city. I wanted to lick the plate. I needed more grits to soak up all the sauce. It was so good. My entree did take a little bit longer to come out - but I had not said anything to anyone about it. I was reading a book on my phone and honestly, kind of forgot time existed. It was the last night of my work trip and I was just disassociating a little. The manager came over and apologized for the wait and said she was sending something over. She insisted, because it wasn't their standard. And I appreciated it. They were too kind. I got their blue cheese flan comped, which was interesting. The texture was perfect, it was such a good flan. But if you're not a blue cheese fan, don't get it. I obviously ate the entire thing. When the check came, they also put a discount on the bill. Honestly, I cannot believe they were so kind. I had not even complained, but they insisted. This kind of service just does not exist in New York City and it reminded me of why New Orleans is my favorite city to visit for work. This was my 5th time and will be my last time for at least the next few years, but I will think fondly of Atchafalaya for a long time. I'm also sending every single one of my friends here for that gumbo and shrimp & grits. Thank you, Atchafalaya for making my last night so great.

Brunch inside was lovely with the live music, but I asked to move outside because of the AC and they accommodated us right away! The food was excellent. The shrimp and grits is the real deal, and the cucumber drink (Pimm's No. 0) was the perfect match for

We've been a huge fan of Chef Cook over the years and we're really sad to see this gem closing. We decided to share a bunch of small plates and split a main dish. I got the frozen espresso martini to start which was refreshing on a hot summer day. We got the house salad, oyster BLT, pork belly & watermelon, bowl of gumbo and my mom's chicken and dumplings. The gumbo was my favorite starter and it's really hard to share a bowl because you want it all to yourself! I really enjoyed the oyster BLT with the crunchy oysters and crispy pork belly pieces. The main of chicken and dumplings is the epitome of comfort food. The service was amazing and staff is attentive. The food came out pretty quickly but we weren't rushed. Before leaving we made another reservation for this upcoming weekend before we have to say goodbye for good.
