    The window next to our table..

    Nota good experience. We couldn't be seated u til 5 of our 6 person parry arrived. We couldn't get drinks while we waited because we had a child with us. The place was dirty the service wasn't good..we had to go get the drinks we orders at the bar ourselves. The food wasnt bad but it was t restaurant quality by any means. Couldnt see out the window we were seatwd by because of food being on them. As i went to leave i decided to use the ladies room there was a male employee cleaning the sink he continued to clean as i used the bathroom. As we waited to leave I seen the biggest cockroach I have ever seen. This is not the experience I wanted to have but unfortunately it is what we got. Not only will we not return we will not be sending anyone we like there.

    Today was so cold and rainy but I had cravings for Crab legs. My hunger lead me to Crafty Crab out by Concord Mills. I hadn't been here in a few years. It was kind of dead for Thursday, but I was excited because the less people in the restaurant means that I will get my food quicker! I ordered the seafood boil that came with crab legs, black muscles, and shrimp with mouth, garlic butter sauce, and it was delicious. It was not too spicy, and came out piping and hot. Our hostess and waiter was Rob. The customer service over all was really good. He was super fun and easy to talk to. He came by to check on us and just overall seems like a good guy. The food was delicious. I didn't have any leftovers. Crafty Crab for the win!

    Food was excellent seasoned well and generous portions. I really appreciated that they were able to accommodate my food allergies! The service was fast and the waitress was helpful with suggestions for our meal. It's a nice vibe and the drinks are on point!

    Yummy I tested my siblings food and every single dish was yummy. The place is this bright brownish color of light. It gave a really chill vibe. The employees are very nice to the people in the restaurant. There was little people I don't get it. The food is amazing.

    King Crab Legs
    Meagan M.

    I love this place. Whenever you're looking for some good crab legs, go here. We always get the king, crab legs and last night we added the lobster tail. The lobster tail might not be necessary that the king cab legs are must. Definitely worth the price. We always order it "juicy "as it has great spice and flavor. Also. First time I've tried their hush puppies. These were amazing!! I could eat a whole plate!!!

    First time here. My niece wanted a shrimp boil to celebrate her birthday. There was a group of 10 of us which is hard to do comfortably in the midst of COVID BUT we were able to get a room in the back that had plenty of space. There was only one other group and we were spaced apart very well. The service was great. Ray was so attentive and friendly! He made our birthday celebration enjoyable. We got our food very quickly. I got a to go order that was perfect. Now for the food. Shrimp boil great! Lobster boil great! Lemon pepper wings great! Corn on the cob great-flavors delicious. Rice good especially when you mix in some of the seasoning from the boil. Calamari-not a fan but my cousin thought it was good. Tasted very bland to me. I ordered catfish basket. Not impressed with the catfish. Tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all nor was the cornmeal it was fried in. But the fish was good. I just didn't like the lack of seasoning. Paper straws were a plus. Special touch: they played Stevie Wonders happy birthday when they brought out cheesecake for the bday girl. NEVER got that at a restaurant. This is probably one of the safest places I feel comfortable eating right now. I'll be back. Thx for making a 13 year olds night special.

    This is my first time here, very clean looking place, short wait time but lengthy time waiting for our waitress to announce herself. I'll assume the waitress didn't know we were at her table or she was assigned us but we waited a good 10-15 minutes before anyone came over to just say hello. I'm not a crab lover but my wife is, she could eat crab legs all day. After her meal she was content with her juicy fingers and mouth. I believe we will be back, hopefully they will be a little more organized then.

So I was looking forward to trying something different this time and decided on the Shrimp Diane. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. First--the canned mushrooms! I'm sorry, but canned mushrooms in an entrée like this were an immediate turnoff for me. There were plenty of them, and that unmistakable canned texture and taste really came through. The shrimp were also very small, bland, and appeared to be frozen. The entire dish just lacked the flavor and seasoning I expected, especially based on the food I've enjoyed here in the past. I literally ate no more than two spoonfuls before I was done. What also surprised me was that no one asked why I had barely touched my meal. When the server saw essentially an entire entrée remaining, I was simply asked if I wanted to take it home. There was never a follow-up question such as, "Was everything okay?" I would have appreciated that. Now, I do have to give credit where it's due! My date ordered the Shrimp & Grits, and his meal was excellent. It was a generous portion, flavorful, and the shrimp were nicely seasoned. He thoroughly enjoyed it--and after tasting his, I certainly knew which entrée I should have ordered! So my experience wasn't a total miss. The Shrimp & Grits were a winner, and I've enjoyed Cajun Queen's food on previous visits. But the Shrimp Diane? I would definitely not order it again. Fresh mushrooms, better-quality shrimp, and more seasoning could have made a world of difference.

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.

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.

The hush puppies came out HOT and crispy with a honey sauce. You can also get them dusted with cinnamon and sugar, which I thought was a fun option. For lunch, I went with the pecan crusted catfish with oven baked mac and cheese and collard greens. The catfish was SO crispy but still delicate inside, and that pecan topping was delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy with a bubbly, crunchy top. The collard greens were perfectly seasoned. Sometimes collards can be way too vinegar heavy, but these had a really nice balance. Everything came out HOT, which I always appreciate. Really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere here!
