Shrimp, snow crab legs and sausage boil.
Bob S.

Absolutely wonderful seafood boil with snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. 1/2 pound of each. Very tasty, but peeling shrimp and cracking crab legs are a lot of work. I'd much rather use scissors than shell crackers. Less work and you can get more meat out of the shells. They should add scissors as an option. I ordered the Cajun sauce and asked for it very hot. As usually when I ask for hot, it's rarely hot IMHO. It wasn't, but it was delicious. Our server, Zaee, was very friendly and attentive.

Quick service, reasonably priced food, packaged well. Very good! The restaurant was also clean and nice

1lb Snow Crab w/ potatoes and corn

This rating could've been higher, but, waiting as long as we did for someone to come to our table to get our drinks order set the tone. After drinks, everything did come out fast. I was glad to get crackers for each guest, because at some crab boil places you don't get any, and they act like it's odd to ask. The crab legs were pretty good, sauces were pretty oily, but flavorful. The corn and potatoes were really good as well. Hush puppies were just ok...and there were about 8, but they only have 1 honey butter. What's up with sweet hush puppies? I've only ever had savory ones, until moving to Charlotte and going to a crab boil restaurant. My husband enjoyed the steamed oysters as well as the shrimp. It was my husband's birthday, and they gave him fried cheesecake. He really enjoyed it, but ate it at home and I didn't get a picture. It appeared to be cheese cake wrapped in a dough and fried. I'd go back. Maybe service was slow in the beginning due to it being a Tuesday night? The food runner did exhibit professionalism and ramped up the mood some. He had a very positive energy. I think our waitress was just spread too thin.

Great new crab boil spot in south Charlotte. Located in what was the O'Charly's. The food is fresh and delicious. The decor is seafood cheeky but pleasant. TIP: order the E combo which is not currently listed on the menus. It's a 1/2 lb of headless shrimp and a 1/2 of snow crab legs for $28.99.

The new Crab DuJour on the south side opened yesterday and we had to give them a try! My sister placed a togo order for 1/2lb shrimp and 1/2 lb snow crab add smoked sausages. The bag had a piece of corn on the cob and about 5 red potatoes. Overall we thought the sauce was oily. It had flavor but wasn't intense. There wasn't a lot of garlic and I had to swim thru oil to get to the seasoning. I'm glad we gave them a try but I wasn't impressed.

We were craving seafood so we stopped in @crabdujournc for a seafood crab boil! The seasoning and garlic butter sauce was on point! The service was fast and the food was delicious. Glad we stopped in on our way back home from Charleston. What we ordered: Seafood Combo with Crablegs, shrimp (no head), corn on the cob, potatoes & eggs with mild garlic butter sauce Seafood Combo with Tilapia, corn & potatoes with spicy garlic lemon pepper sauce Definitely check them out!

I love this spot I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm here at least two times a week. The food is very filling and the customer service is great I go so often I feel like they know me by name or should I say by order?! on the side of the building is an entrance yo place to go orders. Most orders take about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare. I usually get combo I!

Seafood pasta

GO HERE! GO HERE! GO HERE!!!! Take your mother your brother your sister because it is amazing! Service was awesome from the moment we walked in the door. I got there 30 minutes before closing so to be honest I wasn't expecting much but boy oh boy did they prove me wrong. Our server was amazing the food was a straight tens across-the-board! This was hands-down the best Cajun style seafood restaurant I have been to. The seafood pasta was everything I hoped it would beAnd more! The shrimp fish and fries or cooked to perfection! Make this your next meal spot!

Came here today (valentines day) and this place is packed!!! So glad I stopped by because it looked cool from the outside and is just as cool on the inside! I think my bartenders said they are Bre and Brooke and they are the sweetest nicest help I've had at a bar!! I mean the atmosphere, the food, and the service are all a ten out of ten and that's why they deserve 5 stars. They are swamped and not acting overwhelmed or frustrated at all which makes the experience so much better for the consumer. They also have specials which hardly anywhere has since COVID!! 10/10 recommend!! They have their stuff together!!

Went when they first open it was tasteless lol but I've it more than one chance and it's been amazing from service to food! Taking a star out caus they need to work a little bit on they spice level. You won't feel heat unless you get xtra xtra hot

Tried this fairly new location in what was formerly the O'Charley's location. The wait for a table was minimal during a Saturday dinner time. The decor is fresh and updated. Pretty large location, great for groups! The food came fairly quickly. Ordered the headless shrimp and black mussels in garlic butter with minimal spice. The seafood tasted very fresh. The seasoning was not very flavorful.

Alternatively, a more intimate experience can be found downstairs. There is an outdoor patio upstairs which is often in high demand on a fine Carolina day, make a reservation. Etoufee, Diane, scampi, all incredible. Oysters and "Cajun popcorn" to start. And let me tell you, these folks know how to pour a glass of wine.

I'd give Cajun Queen 3.5 out of 5 stars…read more I'm from Houston and grew up visiting New Orleans frequently, so I love Cajun food. Cajun Queen had the atmosphere I was hoping for, and the service was great, but the food didn't quite deliver that Houston/Louisiana flavor I'm used to. I started with the gumbo and honestly wasn't impressed. I ordered the sautéed crawfish, which is listed as an appetizer, as my entrée. It wasn't bad, and it actually tasted even better the next day! My friend ordered a chicken dish and said she enjoyed it, though I don't remember the name. I also tried the bread pudding. It had a flavor that almost reminded me of sweet potatoes, although I'm not sure what was in it. It tasted fine, but it was different from what I expected. They offered complimentary valet parking along the side, with a lot in the back. I believe we went on a Saturday night, and there was only one valet attendant. He seemed backed up and visibly frustrated, which made that part of the experience a little awkward. Overall, it was an okay visit. I appreciated the atmosphere and great restaurant service, but I don't see myself returning.

Cajun-style food is so delicious, it's a shame I don't eat it as much as I do. I've heard plenty of…read morethis place as a "hidden gem" so I figured I would give it a whirl. I stopped in here on a Friday afternoon to grab a quick bite. Upon entrance, I really liked the paintings and other decorations spread throughout the dining room. The kitchen is visible as well which makes for a more immersive dining experience. The menu seemed to have plenty of seafood but I figured I'd opt for their special, a Blackened Red Snapper with Bacon Jalapeño Cream Sauce. It came with two sides so I decided to try out their okra and collard greens, after a recommendation from my waiter. I typically don't order collard greens but he said they have pork and are delicious. The place wasn't too busy so food came out quickly, about 10 minutes after I ordered. The food looked decent upon first glance, but I wasn't sold just yet. After my first bite of fish, I was taken aback by the delicious flavor of their cream sauce paired with the blackened fish. It was a solid portion of fish and tasted of good quality, so it didn't stand much a chance. The sides were also just as delicious. It's hard to mess up fried okra so my expectations were met to a tee. The collard greens were actually so incredible as well. I don't really know what they're made of but I definitely will be trying it more in the future, if other places prepare it as good. They also had a house hot sauce with was more flavor than heat, but paired wonderfully with everything. The whole meal was so good so I understand why they seem to a have solid amount of regulars at this place. The staff were very kind and attentive throughout the entire meal. If you want a taste of Louisiana, this place is a solid option in Charlotte.

Beware: I've always…read moreenjoyed coming here for takeout, so I was very disappointed with my most recent experience. I called in an order for the seafood gumbo, and when I arrived, a young lady was ready to cash me out. While reviewing my receipt, I noticed that a tip had already been added without my knowledge or consent. I politely removed it. I have absolutely no problem tipping, even on takeout orders, but that should be my decision--not something automatically added by an employee without informing me. What concerned me most was wondering how many other customers may not have noticed this on their receipts. Adding a tip without a customer's authorization is unacceptable and should definitely be addressed by management. I'm sorry, Cajun Yard Dog, because I've enjoyed supporting this restaurant, but this experience left a very bad impression and is the reason I can only give two stars this time.

Lots of parking but I did have to do a U turn to get back to the restaurant. This was an old chain restaurant building so the drive through area isn't used. The building is dated and in need of repair but that isn't their fault as I am sure they are renting it. The food. Decent menu with steamed, grilled and fried options. I went with the small low country boil which was plenty. It was good. Could have soaked a bit if it was in fact boiled to pick up more of the flavor. I got a side bowl of gumbo. Interesting as it didn't come over rice. It was ok but let remember I worked in Louisiana for a decade plus so I can be a Cajun food snob. Service was awesome. Very friendly and the checked on me a couple of times. A huge majority of the customers get it to go. They have picnic tables inside to eat at and that is what I chose. Friendly service and decent food so a good option if in the area.
