    Red Velvet Cake
    Meghan W.

    Cane Patch Kitchen is an excellent Creole soul food stall in Liberty Public Market. It's one of the few original restaurants at the Public Market, and if the constant lines are anything to go by, you know the food is excellent! Located in the heart of the Market, it can be loud and crowded, but the staff is super helpful and takes the time to answer any questions. There is plenty of seating inside and outside the Market, so you can easily find a place to sit down and enjoy your food. I didn't have one of the entrees, but I did enjoy the red velvet cake. Oh. My. Goodness! It was delicious, and the portion size was HUGE! I definitely recommend trying out Cane Patch Kitchen while at Liberty Public Market! You won't be disappointed!

    Red beans & rice , Mac & cheese , catfish
    Thi C.

    Let's start off with $70.00 for these 2 plates ! Yes $70.00 ! The Mac & cheese is okay but the cheese on Top was CRUNCHY , on BOTH plates ? the yams tasted like water & cinnamon & the catfish was SATURATED in grease it did not taste like catfish one bit, unsure what fish that was / was trying to be but it was GROSS ! The red beans and rice were flavorless . I didn't door dash it I picked it myself it was a piping hot plate ! NEVER , AGAIN! 2 stars because the customer service was good.

    Shrimp Po Boy & Swamp Fries
    Ali H.

    Cane Patch is one of the many food options available inside Liberty Public Market. While walking around looking at dinner options, I settled on a shrimp po boy and swamp fries from cane patch. Getting both was a ton of food but both sounded so good and they were delicious! The swamp fries had so much flavor and were spicy with hot sauce drizzled on top. The po boy had lots of shrimp and great flavors as well! You could easily share both of these dishes with someone else for a good sized meal. I would order both again! It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready so place your order then look around for a spot to eat. The public market can get really busy and can be very noisy but there are lots of seating options inside or outside.

    Got their Oyster Po Boy. Honestly, for almost $20 I expected more than half a sandwich. The oysters were nicely fried but thats about it. Bun was stale and the veggies could've used some salt/seasoning. It did take over 20min to get my order when we were told 5-10min so that was off putting.

    I ordered a grilled shrimp po' boy with steak fries. Add an Arnold Palmer and a $3.00 tip and the bill comes to $32.16. Not cheap at all for a sandwich, fries, and a drink. First: a grilled shrimp po' boy with 6 or 7 small shrimp for $19.00 is a LOT. A $5.00 Arnold Palmer, is a LOT. I waited patiently over 20 minutes to get my food. Finally food started coming out and was set on the counter for 3 of us to watch sit there, as nobody would hand it to us... Finally the girl taking and prepping orders came to the front and handed out 4 bags that were just waiting.. I make my way to another area to find a seat wit the rest of my party waiting for me while their food got cold. I open my container and I have the wrong food. The container had french toast and bacon inside... I take the food back to the counter and now I'm not happy, but explain to the girl that this isn't my order. She looks inside the bag, then starts typing for a bit in the computer and I tell her if they have to make another, and it will take another 20 minutes, I just want my money back. I'm now less happy. IN the meantime, another customer comes up and practically throws her bag on the counter and says "we don't even want it anymore". The girl behind the counter (Lynee) hands me a receipt, grabs her phone and LEAVES. Just leaves. The cook looks amazed, comes up front and asks what happened. I told her she just left. The receipt she handed me was a refund for someone else. Not even my order, nor my credit card, The cook was great about it, apologized, and had another shrimp po boy on deck, and handed it to me in 3 minutes. The food was OK, the po boy could have been much more loaded for $19.00, but I'd rather try something else next time, and because of the service, I'll happily skip anyplace she works, forever.

    Breakfast po boy

    Breakfast po boy. Eggs, cheese, choice of bacon or/ and sausage, served on a soft chewy roll, topped with remoulade sauce. Sauce was nice suprise and paired well. I would like the bread toasted.

    Chicken Tenders Po Boy

    I loveeeeee Cane Patch! It's the only food I get when I come to Liberty Station and I come a lot and there's always SOOO many options. But this is my go to. Of all time. Sandwich is hefty and generous for the price and the quality is amazing! I love the ambiance of the inside as well. Lots of tables and seating.

    Cane Patch Kitchen is one of the few OG vendors still operating from when Liberty Public Market debuted in early 2016. Cajun/creole cuisine is the name of their game. Po'boy sandwiches and fried baskets made up the left menu screen. The right screen listed five entrees, seven sides, two desserts, and the kids' menu. I selected the first two entrees listed which were the Jambalaya and Seafood Gumbo. The addition of meat to the jambalaya costs three more dollars, but you need protein to make this item complete. Therefore, I asked for a mix of chicken and andouille sausage. About 15 minutes later, my order had been bagged and was ready for pickup. The gumbo had a mildly spicy broth with shrimp, mussels, and a crab claw included. The price was a bit higher than I had expected for the serving size. The jambalaya was a potpourri of colors from the green onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, and corn kernels mixed in with the dirty rice. For the quality and value of the food I sampled, my rating was 3.5 stars for Cane Patch Kitchen.

    3 pieces of fried catfish, baked macaroni and cheese, crispy sweet potato fries, and buttered toast.

    Cane Patch Kitchen is located in Liberty Station food hall serving up some southern Louisiana classics such as po-boys, fried seafood, and the traditional southern sides. We decided to try this place to relive our past with the tasty southern cooking and it definitely lived up to the hype. As former Mississippians we were craving some fried catfish and turned to Yelp to get the answer. Cane Patch Kitchen offers a variety of different fried seafood such as oysters, shrimp, catfish, and even alligator. The side dishes to name a few are baked macaroni and cheese, collards greens, and sweet potato frys and many more on the list. We went ahead and ordered the fried catfish combo which comes with one side and you can add another side for a small fee so we also went ahead and got the sweet potatoes frys and baked macaroni and cheese. The food was beautifully presented and the portion size was amazing! We ended up getting 3 nice sizes of fish and a generous scoop of macaroni and cheese with a heaping handful of crispy sweet potatoes frys! They even threw in butter grilled toast and ranch to compliment the frys and tartar sauce for the fish. The fish was fried golden brown and seasoned well. The batter wasn't crispy crispy but a nice thin layer of crisp. The fish was very succulent and juicy packing with flavor. The frys were nice sweet and crispy and paired well with the ranch. The macaroni and cheese had a nice flair to it garnished with thinly fined chopped green onions. The food was good and service was great and made me reminisce of my good Ole Mississippi day and trips to New Orleans for fried seafood platters. Definitely have this on my list again to come back and try the swamp frys or po-boys or maybe even the fried alligator.

    Chicken and waffles
    Makaela P.

    While strolling through Liberty Public Market, we stumbled beyond Cane Patch Kitchen. Hubby ended up ordering the chicken and waffles from them. He said that chicken was well seasoned. Waffle was decent but not a knock out of the park. It was flavored with either nutmeg or cinnamon. Large portion size.

    I was starving and I had to go grocery shopping. I don't like grocery shopping if I'm hungry cause I buy to much lol I cruised over to livery station cause they have good variety of pop-ups. I walked around to see which pop-up made my stomach growl. It stopped at New Orleans pop-up, it's been a minute since I had Cajun food. They had gator & it sold me. If you ever had gator it's really good & taste like chicken ( like anything else lol ) The service on point, helpful, & friendly. The food came out fast. I'm about dive in to satisfy my stomach Come check it out !!!

    If you are a big fan of Cajun cuisine like me, you always try new spots. I decided to try it and was not very impressed. The price for Gumbo in the menu was $15 so I decided to go for it. They said that for 2x the money you would get 2x Gumbo, so I decided to go for it as well. They said that the wait would be 5-10min which ended to be 18min. Kind of a long wait for hungry person. Ok, I would wait that long for good Gumbo, but only for good one. This gumbo was underwhelming, 7 shrimps swimming in the company of 5 pieces of chicken and 6 pieces of sausage. See picture for details. Not worth $30 for sure. I will not be stopping by there again.

    Shrimp Po Boy
    Milani L.

    My experience was good but it wasn't great. The customer service was really good though. The worker helped my boyfriend and I with suggestions on what we could like or want to order. He was very patient with us. We decided on the Shrimp po Boy. Originally we thought it looked like a pretty thick sandwich. But it turned out that it was just the bread. The shrimp was a lot smaller than expected and was more breading than the actual shrimp. Rhe lettuce amount was a little too much in comparison to everything else as well. In regards to the price, I definitely don't think that it matches the price (approximately $18). I would go back and try something else on their menu but if I can't be guaranteed to have a good amount of good quality shrimp, I don't think I'll be getting the po boy again.

She didn't make us feel rushed despite the growing line behind us (we were truly trying to hurry, though, because of it). If you like sashimi, get their sashimi appetizer! We haven't been able to find a good place for sashimi since we moved to Southern California 5 years ago. Don't get me wrong, we've gotten good sashimi, but not cut thick & with good quality that is worth the price like this place. The price wasn't even as high as many of the other sashimi places we've tried! They give you only 2 fish choices on the plate, however. They have listed about 5 or 6 different kinds, but it depends on what is available. We had salmon & tuna. Salmon is my favorite, but their tuna was fantastic! First time I can say I may have liked it better than the salmon!! Their other dishes we had were also yummy. My daughter loves scallops & they were cooked to perfection. I don't usually like scallops because most places cook them till they're rubbery. Not this place! My husband had swordfish & I had the sea bass. Both were also delicious, but I think they may have mixed up which plate went to which person. Good thing, as we were trying each others' food, my daughter noted the slight texture difference between the two (I hadn't had a chance to taste them yet). Interestingly, swordfish usually has a vastly different texture than bass, but here, they cook it so well, there wasn't a huge amount of difference! That says something since swordfish is usually very "meaty." If my daughter hadn't noticed, I wouldn't have complained even though I was looking forward to the bass. I like flakier fish. However, the bass wasn't as flaky as I anticipated, but both were so tender, the mix-up wasn't a deal breaker. I don't know how they season the rice, but YUM! Even though I'm Asian, I'm not one who usually eats the rice. It's usually just a filler for me, & since I don't eat much, I'd rather eat the "other stuff" & usually leave most of the rice. Not here! I almost couldn't get enough of it, lol! So good!! At the end, we needed boxes. We had to ask two different waitresses since the first one we asked never came with them. It's an "order at the register then find a table" type of place, so there wasnt any "service" to speak of. Be prepared to stand in line - this place is popular for a reason! Parking is a challenge, but worth it. We definitely will be back!

Get your seat after you order and have a number - by the time you order, people would have left and seats are available. They will also ask you to leave if you take seats without a number. Food was good & really fresh. Wanted to get oysters but had a wedding to go to so didn't risk it but saw many ppl ordered it. Had the octopus taco and grilled shrimp platter with limeade. Hubby had the fish & chips with iced tea. Portions were just right. I thought the shrimp could use a bit more seasoning. Loved their coleslaw that had cilantro fir a bit of a twist. Read previous reviews about sitting outside to be wary of seagulls but they had these rubber-ended wire things on the roof that worked great to keep thdm away so we could eat & enjoy the view!

It sticks to the traditional style, letting the lobster flavor shine, which I appreciate. The lobster itself has good flavor and is well prepared, making it a satisfying bite. That said, it's just missing a little something that would push it into 5-star territory. The portion size is still considerably small, especially for the price, so it can feel a bit expensive for what you get. Even with that, the flavors are definitely there, and it's still worth trying if you're in the market and craving a lobster roll.

Parking is fairly easy as there's a large lot across the street from the restaurant. We arrived right when they opened and were the first in line! The Mira Mesa location always has such a long line so I was a little surprised to put in our orders so fast. Maybe not as many people know about this location. When we walked in, I immediately noticed an unusual smell inside. Nothing like seafood that's been sitting out for too long but more like weird cleaning chemical smells. At least all of the seating is outdoors (some shaded) so you don't have to endure those smells. I ordered the Spicy Salmon and Pearl Harbor. The salmon was solid and I thought the fish quality was good. The sauce is similar to a spicy mayo and I didn't think it had much of a kick. The Pearl Harbor is tuna with a sweet, thick sauce (hoisin maybe?). I've had this flavor before at the other location but for some reason, it tasted off here. Also, the tuna didn't have that bounce of a fresh fish. Overall, salmon was good but maybe they were having an off day for the tuna. Hopefully it's not a recurring issue because I really want them to succeed. They're my favorite poke place in San Diego!
