So this past Sunday myself and 4 others came from out of town to experience this restaurant for a birthday. Music was good when they played a song longer than 15-25 seconds. Service was extremely poor and drinks were watered down. The main issue is we all ordered together (1 salmon appetizer and salad. 2 fried Wing platters and 2 pork chop platters) Salmon came out within 15 mins, pork chops came out about 35 mins later, a chicken platter 5 mins after that and AFTER everyone had received their items but me and had eaten mine came out a total of 1hr and 17 mins after my party had received their meals. No it was not packed, I spoke with my waiter and manager and still nothing accommodation was made. extremely poor service, will not return read more

We have been here twice, so I wanted to leave an honest review. This is located in a food truck park, so it is not a sit down restaurant. There is a window where you place your order, they give you a number, and bring your food to you. We tried to call ahead the first time, but no one answered, so probably better to just show up. Certain items are available on certain days. So just check out their menu. We ordered a small swamp grits, and a small seafood Mac and cheese to share. Both were flavorful and had a decent amount of seafood in them for the price. Service was not bad, and the owners are really friendly and greet everyone. There are tables to sit at in the outside patio area, so you can sit anywhere. There is also a decent amount of parking and restrooms. The second time we went on a Sunday, and a DJ was setting up as we were finishing. It seems like it would be a good place to chill. My only complaints are not being able to place an order ahead of time. The wait was a little long the first time, but the second time our food came within a few minutes. It seems like they are workout the kinks. All in all, this is a great black owned business to support! read more

See all

Amira was amazing. Food was hittin. She did great! Definitely made sure our service was straight.

Only reason this review is not a 5 star is because their wait times are the most horrendous thing I have ever seen. Luckily it was a nice evening and there was a great dj spinning and a little margarita stand set up. When my friend and I arrived here it was still relatively early and there were only 4 people in line ahead of us, however we waited about an hour+ until we were actually able to get to the window to place our order. There were individuals that ordered food 1.5 hours before us and still had not received their order. They need a little help in the kitchen and or being able to have a better system to get people in and out. The owner brought out the food and was very apologetic and mentioned that he had shut off his online ordering so that he could keep up with demands at the physical location, so he did care that this was happening and was trying his best. Now lets talk about the food. OMGoshhhh talk about a mouthgasm! We ordered the "Cajun Swamp Fries" which were just loaded up with goodness & then of course we got us about 6 pounds of "crawfish" and oh how they did not disappoint this New Orleans girl as the flavor was impeccable. I definitely will be back but not on the weekend, unless calling in the food well ahead of time. read more

I really enjoyed myself, the server was great along with the service and quality of food.

1. Bad attitudes when held accountable. 2. No sense of customer service. 3. Nobody in the kitchen wearing mask. I can't understand why it takes an hour to get fish and shrimp combo. read more

Food was great, service was good the atmosphere was was even better. I Will be returning

Found this place on a whim and hit it up for some take-out for two. Order: Seafood Pasta, Large Seafood Mac and Cheese Pro's: - The flavors are great. Mostly Nailed it on both dishes with one pretty big caveat I'll throw in the Con's. - Generous portion sizes with crawfish, crab, lobster, and shrimp for days. These guys aren't messing around. - Quick, easy, painless service. Food ready to go in a perfectly reasonable amount of time. - Priced right for what you order, I think. The one Con: - Man was that seafood pasta salty. I mean really, truly, too salty. I like salt just as much as anyone else but there's a fine line between not enough and just too much. This was like taking a direct hit to the mouth with a salt rock. Easier for the customer to add salt to their dish if it's not salty enough, I say. That said, I managed to navigate the salt-minefield and found plenty of bites here and there that were perfectly delicious so I'd like to give this place the benefit of the doubt and assume someone was a little heavy handed with the old salt shaker today. Like I said, the flavor's there. We'll order from here again. Dial it back on the salt a bit... I want to live! read more

justice was great and very courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. Plus this was our first time and she took care of us

A little out of the way...had a hard time finding it, but once there is was a decent little "hole in the wall". Went for dinner around 5:30pm. We had the cajun pasta and it had the right amount of kick to it. Very good and they give you A HUGE HELPING!! Wife had to take 1/2 of hers home. Service was great, but when I went to pay on their app, they only had options to give a 5 or 10% tip. Service was worth 20% and I used the custom button for that. Gotta try it. read more

I'm from Houston so brunch is in our DNA. The food was alright, nothing truly to run home about. The best part was the $2 mimosas and $10 carafes they have, really good and they let you mix flavors. The service was slow, real slow. Our server Ken was nice but it did take him a while to see us. My friend's food took almost 30 minutes to come out and by that time we were almost done eating but the chef came out and apologized and comped her meal. They need to get a DJ or something to liven the place up. Music was being played off of someone's phone and skipping track after track. But this having a space for black people owned by black people in Austin is fantastic! read more

This place is absolutely incredible. The loaded swamp fries are unmissable. Delicious flavor, fresh seafood, great drinks, and very cool atmosphere. Warmers and a covered patio with string lights makes this place feel super fancy. Perfect for a date night. I absolutely loved it! read more

Well. I was happy to support a black owned business. Considering I am a business owner as well. The atmosphere was definitely club like! The music was loud and you can barely hear your server. It was 3 of us and none of the food came out the same time. Even tho 2 orders were the same! The fries were covered in paprika. My son's wings came out first. Then 15-17 mins later my fish and shrimp basket came out. Meanwhile the table next to us ordered after and received there food before us. Yes they ordered bbq which probably was cooked earlier and just being kept hot. However after 15 mins I asked our sever( which was a nice girl but could t hear her name) where my nephew food was and she said it's gonna be 15-20 more minutes. Which was confusing because we both ordered fish. My shrimp was over fried and salty. The fish was decent however one piece wasn't fully cooked to the same time as the rest because it was a different color. About 20 -25 mins after I asked bout my nephews food it then came out. Now mind you I we were seated directly by the kitchen and can see the cooking staff dancing and drinking and talking and not getting any orders out. By the time my nephews food came my food was cold because I wasn't going to eat without him. So we boxed our food to go. I asked the server what was the problem and she stated the cook couldn't find the fish. I have been in the culinary industry for over 15 years and explained to her how our family meal was ruined because we couldn't enjoy together. And the tickets should have been together so our food came out together. The drinks were amazing! I suggest the Strawberry Hennessey drink(girls wanna have fun) it was great and strong! And not too pricey. All and all if they had some order in the kitchen this place would be amazing! read more

I went for brunch and ordered the chicken waffle. Chicken was extremely deep fried and waffles were burned! How do you burn waffle and still serve it? The place wasn't appealing for me. One thing I HATED is they include tip in the check without telling you. You have to ask and you don't know how much they are charging for tip. I should not be forced to tip without knowing how much it is. read more

The food was good. Had the fried shrimp and fish. Also had the sticky lamb chops. Good but a little salty. Service was very very slow for them not to be very busy. Drinks were slow. My meal and my husbands meal came out and different times. We couldn't enjoy our food together. read more

Drove from Houston to enjoy the weekend and thought this sounded good so we called to check the time and were told 2am is closing time. Get there and they are closing and telling us they were "playing it by ear" as to when they would close. Waste of time. read more

Best Cajun food in Austin literally . Great Sunday funday/night . Everything is a 10/10

Pria was our waitress for today and she did a wonderful job! She was super sweet and welcoming. It was completely different from Houston. The food was delicious and we will definitely try them again whenever we come back 10/10. I got the country breakfast with French toast and it was chefs kiss read more

ZERO STARS. I ordered a to go meal of crawfish and they made me wait 20 minutes and then said they couldn't make the crawfish because it would take too long. She asked me if I wanted a refund and I said yes. She did something on the computer and said my money would be reimbursed within two days and I NEVER GOT MY REFUND. No food and lost money. This was my first time visiting this place. Buyer beware! Not cool. read more

THIS PLACE NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION Brunch here was an amazing experience and I'm pretty hard to please being a "breakfast lover" DEEP FRIED FRENCH TOAST?????? Shrimp and grits Those 2 alone will always have my business Sucks I live in Houston read more

I gave a 1 star because there was nothing that would make me give it more. Parking was horrible. I had fried fish which was very fishy, non seasoned, and very subpar drinks. My family had a crab pot and the only thing edible was the sausage. How do you mess up corn?? The music was old and the waitresses were slow when there was hardly anyone there. The hookah was trash. I am not bashing I am realizing Austin is not progressive for black people. Maybe hit up NYC or Atl and come back and redo the club/lounge/eatery scene. read more

Can't comment on the food as the music was so loud we didn't even stay to sit down. Only about ten people in the whole place. The waitstaff was hanging out at the front hostess station and jamming so much we almost got knocked over at the door. Won't be back. read more

Oh my goodness! This is one of the BEST restaurants on the planet. They just opened in this location. First, the food is delicious. They have authentic, flavorful Cajun food. Any of the seafood baskets are amazing and the seafood mac and cheese, and the bayou shrimp n' grits are some of the tastiest things I ever eaten. We just tried it for brunch and were not disappointed. I wanted to eat Cajun seasoned home fries all day. Second, the owners and staff are so friendly and want to make sure customers are enjoying the good and having a nice time. We will definitely be back (many, many times!). read more

DO NOT EAT HERE unless you want to be ignored and not get your food for over an hour! Wait staff has no customer service at all and pick and choose who they want to serve. Food order didn't even get placed until I went and asked about it when I saw tables that came in after us get their food. It is clear that they intentionally don't serve some of their customers. If 0 stars was an option this business would get it! read more

The atmosphere and restaurant set up is great. The music was a vibe. My bartender/Server Amani B was amazing. However the food was a 1 star. I got the breakfast platter. When it came out the potatoes were cold and not done, eggs were not fresh and grits were cold. Amani immediately went to go put in a refire! She checked on me constantly. Once the food came back out, the potatoes were better and the grits were clearly just put in a microwave. Eggs were not remade and nasty. Then I finally got to try the waffles. They were awful. I probably ate less than 10 bites. Manager gave me a free mimosa and I told her the truth about the food. However I was still charged for my food which should've been taken off. Hopefully next time is better! read more

We visited Cajjun Eats for the first time this past weekend. The food was excellent and our server (Justice) provided great customer service. One of the managers (Serena) came by briefly to chat and she even offered us a slice of cheesecake, featuring both their bourbon sauce AND strawberry sauce. And yes..it was as fantastic as it sounds! Kudos! read more

Came here for the 1st time with family. We all LOVED the drinks and the staff was very friendly and working hard in that heat! On the food, the waffle wasn't anything to call home about but the shrimp/crawfish and grits and fried chicken... Seasoned and cooked to perfection!!!! Will definitely be back to enjoy more cajun offerings from Cajjun Eats read more

Terrible food and service, no desire to really improve it. The wait time is ridiculous. The only good thing is the actual ability to mingle in an open space with a large crowd. Let's be honest, nobody does for the food. It's basically a day party. Eat before you go. read more

Overall decent. Food was good. Everything is as if you are ordering like to-go orders. All of the seating is outside so be aware of how the weather is. Though there is covering for majority of the seating. On Saturdays they have $1 mimosas so that is a plus. I ordered the shrimp & grits for brunch and the dish was 4/5 but the rest of the vibe is what made me give it a 3 star. I am not sure how night time or Sundays are but Saturdays just might not be the vibe. read more

Catfish was amazing! I truly enjoyed it. My son got the chicken sandwich, as soon as he bit into it he said " Oh yeah we need to go here again. Loved the spice! Don't miss out.....try that!!! read more

Food was delicious, the drinks were great!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. And it was a great atmosphere, Look forward to coming back here again! read more

Great food. This is my 4th trip in 2 weeks. The shrimp, bayou grits, chicken, and pasta are all great. The staff is really friendly. Everything is freshly prepared. Outstanding. read more

This is definitely a chill, casual spot. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, which had fans going, and it was cool even with the outdoor temp around 90. But- bottom line- the food was absolutely delicious! We had crawfish etouffe and crawfish grits, and then were both excellent! My etouffe was loaded with fish and shrimp and the seasoning was on point! Service was casual but very friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with the owner. We only waited about 10 minutes for our food, but it was an off-peak time. read more

The food was amazing! I got the shrimp pasta The gentleman taking the orders was not a really friendly guy (maybe he wasn't having a great night) over all I will be back to try other things on the menu. read more

Super slow service. Took literally an hour and 10 minutes to get 3 dishes that were the same thing. 45 minutes into it they told us they made it with the wrong pasta (?) The owners act like they would rather have a good time than run a restaurant. They had so much potential but they have blown it. Don't waste your time and energy going here. Only went the once, won't be going back. read more

PLEASE stay away from this place they do not value there customers. First time dining here took 1 hour my food to come out. I ordered a basket of fried shrimp, chicken strips, and swamp fries there where 2 orders ahead of mine. 30 mins in I was told they where still making it. The employees are not friendly at all. The Young lady at the window was bothered I asked about my purchase. If the food was for me I would have left and never looked back. It's sad because the music was great and could really be cool but your staff is going to run this place in to the ground. read more

Unacceptable customer service. Unapologetically and dishonestly late. Factor in at least an extra 30-90 minutes from what they tell you. They could not even process a refund after 60+ extra minutes of waiting because of their "system" and instead suggest waiting 15 more minutes. Krab Kingz is pretty good and never this bad w customer service. read more

Poor service I mean No Service at all Never gonna come back, they make mistakes on your order every time, every time there is something missing on my order, No apologies not even feeling anything about their mistake. Horrible service and high pricing find another place. After all they don't Care read more

Not worth the 2+ hour wait for some crabs and seafood Mac and cheese. Never again. Terrible wait and customer service! Even if the food is good nothing is worth this long ass wait!!! read more

Ordered online and it said 35-45 mins. I get here and it's takes and 45 minutes and they just keep saying it's almost ready. Have to give you a one star. People got things to do. read more
