I was DISAPPOINTED. Just DISAPPOINTED. The food was NOT good and definitely NOT New Orleans. The food was downright horrible. Despite the inside appearance, the tacky décor and signs plastered all over the place, I really wanted to like this place, and it breaks my heart to have to write this review. I ordered two dinners. The 10-piece catfish strips with fries and and the 6-piece shrimp with hushpuppies at a total cost of $16.66. It took about 15 - 20 minutes to get my order. Everything tasted like it was fried in cooking oil that was beyond its life and needed to be changed. The catfish strips were small, overcooked, dark in color, dry, and had the flavor of burnt oil / grease. The shrimps were small, overcooked, dry, and tasted like it was cooked in burnt oil / grease. The fries were soggy and just like the fish and shrimp had a burnt taste to them. The hushpuppies were the only thing that was eatable and had great flavor. I only ate 2 pieces of the horrible catfish strips, 3 small shrimps, and a couple of the hushpuppies because that's all my stomach could only tolerate. New Orleans Seafood was a total let down. This may be a locally owned and operated small business, but my goodness, have some standards when it comes to restaurant appearance and food quality.

As you walk in great to be welcomed by what looks like a place where the locals meaning college crowd hang out. Dropped with sports and college memorabilia, well used tables and chairs, we were properly greeted by a young college student. Quickly shown to our tables we were welcomed by our waitress. She was very friendly and helpful in highlighting some of the better dishes. So we ordered the gator appetizer which was lightly breaded and tasted very fresh, served with a side of remoulade dipping sauce. Then we had a bowl of seafood gumbo and the red beans and rice with have a hot link. Both dishes were very flavorful and I would definitely recommend them. The only negative is that they were both a little on the salty side for our liking. Oh and my wife had hoped for more okra in the gumbo. But yes I would definitely recommend this place and it was great to see a diverse crown from young kids to the elderly in what looked like a college bar environment.

Wilson was our waiter, and he was very friendly and took great care of us. We got the Garnet and Gold nachos for a starter, and the sauce they put on there was great - we'd definitely try that again. The first hurricane I drank was pretty stiff, and you can see the difference in color with the second one - i dont know if they switched bartenders or not but they were definitely mixed differently. The entrees were very tasty, and I recommend adding a little of the Coosh's seasoning on your fries and other dishes if you like an extra shot of flavor. The gator was cooked well, the shrimp were plump, and the jambalaya pasta was a delightful choice as well. Portions were huge, and I'm glad the wife and I split an entree. Despite not being able to finish our entrees, we got 2 desserts to split amongst the 4 of us - carrot cake and Oreo cheesecake, and both provided enough of a sugar rush to get us home... then cause us to crash. Great experience, and looks like it would be a great game day destination!

For years, as the ownership changed, the food has been consistently delicious and affordable. My sister has never been able to find a better Lo Mein in the world, and she is probably the pickiest food critic of Americanized Chinese food. The previous owner has moved on to Masa, while the new owner has taken Cajun Cafe by storm with some changes, but keeping the classic successes in place. The Lo Mein is great here, but even better, in my opinion is the fried rice. It's always super fluffy and just greasy enough - I think it's called Chicken Jambalaya here, but really, it's just fried rice. The corn is perfectly buttery, the veggies are a perfect combination of crisp and soggy and salty. The winning dish here, though? The bourbon chicken. Super tender and flavorful, you can't go wrong. They have other chicken/meats as well, but bourbon chicken has stood the test of time from owner to owner. Recently, they have started adding bubble tea, but we didn't get a chance to try it, since they were already out that afternoon. I know there are so many options in the food court, but definitely give Cajun Cafe a try!

The shrimp looked like either they deep fried it 3x or it was fried yesterday and given today. Since there was no time for us to wait for another order, I ate several and left the rest.

We ordered their special fruity yummy drink. It was good, but 3 sips at $10 or $12 and it's gone? WTF! Really. Look at my photos. Tons of crushed ice. Waste of time and money. Prime Rib sammy was good, enough for 2. We got 2 sides, one came with. Collars were good but coukd be better. Ive had better locally and in Firt Lauderdake. Grits were creamy. Added Salt/Pepsi to taste. So overall it's ok. I think they get away with medoicre Southern because there's no challenger in town thats this vibe. So you pay for the dine in atmosphere etc, but the food 8s all middle of road. Now, i will admit Im a foodie from a harsh location, Ft Lauderdale, makes you tough because we eat everything from all cultures, so you gotta bring your A game, and we travel alot. You can do medoicre Mexican in an suburb where only Mexicans come to clean house, so going to get a taco or nachos os badic in some areas. But we travel to where Mexicans own it, eat it, and barely speak English. Thats authentic. So it's true here! Its a great place for Southern Comfort food, but we are always underwhelmed with their execution. On the first visit, crab cake stack. Average. Devil eggs were basic and disappointing. Unsure how you cant do well on a basic dish. Creamy. No kick flavor. It would be nice is the could level up their execution. The menu reads great, but we are consistently just like "OH, ok. Descent." So definitely visit. Expect average, just ok. If you arent Southern, this will be great for you, as you have no reference point. Don't go in like you are going to be transplanted to the South. Its average execution. Like creamy cheese grits but nothing extraordinary. I've had grits in North Carolina, Sunny Pointe, you might eat a finger scooping up the shrimps and grits. Definitely worth a visit. Its famiky friendly. I think you pay 20% for the atmosphere. Ckean, cute decor. Love the twigs etc, branches. The porch sitting feel. You saw parents and kids, you could tell it's back to school. Today, 8/15, they were low on waiters. So took a long time for anyone to check back on us. But you could see other unhappy tables, one guy yelling at Mgr, so maybe some slippage in this upstart.

As I looked at the menu, I got a little overwhelmed, not because the offerings were too many. It's just that everything look good. My husband asked the cashier what she would eat. Her response, was everything! She then started rattling off the dishes, why they were good, portion sizes, etc. Whatever she was selling, I was buying, it all sound good. We each ordered something different. I had the chicken philly, our son had the catfish & wings, and my husband had the red snapper. Every meal was just as good as the other. If you have a taste for seafood, this is a must try!
