I had lunch here yesterday. I got the shrimp etoufee ($11.29), which came with two side dishes. I chose the potatoes and the red beans & rice. I enjoyed all three, especially the shrimp. It was quite filling, though that was mostly because of the rice. Still, the shrimp and potatoes portions were ample enough. The shrimp were just the right level of spicy. Service was fast. read more

There's a hidden gem in the desert, and it happens to be located within the Tucson Mall! I've been coming to Kelly's Cajun Grill for YEARS & I absolutely LOVE their Blackened Fish!! When they closed down for renovations, I would drive all the way to Ontario, California just to go to the KCG in the Ontario Mall for a taste of the Blackened Fish!! No other restaurant in the world has a fish as great tasting as this one!! Truly if you haven't experienced Kelly's Cajun Grill you don't know what you are missing! Don't let the Hidden Gem swim by you, the staff is friendly and the food is FINtastic! I promise one bite of this Blackened Fish will have you reeled in coming back for more! read more

Kelly's Cajun Grill - Blackened Fish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food was raw, the food was pink. My friends who ate the Orange Chicken got very sick. The service was awful, the workers there are extremely disrespectful and rude. My friend and I went there at 4:30, now it's been 4 hours and her stomach still hurts. The it's very bad. Would not recommend. read more

Food was horrible, ended up with food poisoning as well as my boyfriend. Please don't eat here!

We ordered orange chicken and a plate with noodles and grilled chicken. Our 3 girls ate the orange chicken and all 3 of them got sick after eating the orange chicken. My husband and I are fine as we did not eat the orange chicken. My girls are having food poisoning symptoms. Will never eat here again and will be requesting a refund. read more

I went here this past week and used to love it however they've had some changes and now I was not a fan at all!!! I won't be going back! The crab puffs were so crabby there were chunks and I think onion also... yuck! I love crab puffs & used to get them before but no thank you! I got the teriyaki chicken and it was ok, it was very peppery and was disappointed they no longer have bourbon chicken. I also got the sweet & spicy chicken can't remember the name and that was pretty good but I just wish they'd trim the meat a little better and not so much fat! The chicken fried rice was awful, didn't even taste like chicken fried rice and was very bland and very peppery. I couldn't even eat it, it was so awful!! The lo mein also very bland, looked weird and orange looking and no flavor and hardly any juice to it. I used to love the rice and lo mein and I couldn't even eat it because it was not good at all!! The portions are pretty big, rice and lo mein was a bit skimpy but just bummer the food isn't good anymore and waaay overpriced for a 2 meat tray with rice and lo mein with a soda and crab puffs I spent 22$ and that was a total waste because the food was awful!! The cashier didn't seem to speak or understand English, I asked her about the bourbon chicken and she was responding but didn't make any sense to what I asked.. super frusturating! They used to have specials and not anymore, seems like highway robbery now! Very disappointing and I was so excited to eat there again, haven't since before it had closed. I let my husband eat my food because I didn't like it and he also was very disappointed and we won't be back!! read more

Went with my children after the recent reopening of the restaurant. Food was good and a large portion. The staff was fast and friendly.

It's in the Tucson Mall, but the area was clean, friendly staff and most of all it's a pretty good value for how much food you receive and it was really good! Thanks again! read more

Kelly's Cajun Grill - Bourbon and honey chicken with fried rice. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

When you want something close to Panda Express, this joint will do the job. Price point is very affordable (at least it was when I went) and serving portions are HUGE. I shared my 2 plates with a friend and it was so much we saved some for the following morning. The spicy chicken, bourbon chicken and honey chicken were all delicious. I really enjoyed their bean fried rice because it tasted good and seemed healthy. Veggies and regular fried rice were also on point. I thought the chow mien noodles were a little irregular, but overall I was happy to eat the food. Definitely not the healthiest food available. Still, the food tastes good and it is very filling. I would visit the place more frequently if I lived in the neighborhood. read more

Kelly's Cajun Grill - Burbon Chicken, Blackened Fish and Cajun Potatoes - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is one of the options in the Tucson Mall. They hype their bourbon chicken and that's what I chose to have. It came with rice and vegetables. The vegetables were tender and nice. The chicken was tender but had some burnt areas. I did like the flavor of the chicken though. It was a good size portion and comes in a styrofoam box whether for takeout or eating there. They have the usual choice of beverages. read more

Kelly's Cajun Grill - Bourbon chicken meal - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It's bad. Definitely not Cajun style. The noodle was over cooked and the rice definitely had a pre-mixed spice blend that didn't pair well. We said no to the vegetable side because they looked pale, limp, and sad. My group had ordered the honey chicken and bourbon chicken, we could barely taste the honey sauce and both chicken dishes suffered from way too much fat and more than a couple pieces of bone. read more

I came here with a friend during a surprisingly busy Thursday afternoon. As others have pointed out, this is not really cajun food. In fact, I don't quite understand why it's called that. That said, this is a pretty solid restaurant, located in the Tucson Mall. The servings are humongous! One plate of their bourbon chicken holds enough food to feed 2 people. No need to get a second plate for $3.70 more. The food quality is OK. It isn't gourmet, it's just quick serve fast food. read more

What...? How does this pass as Cajun food? My grandma ordered a plate from here. It is literally Lo mein, egg rolls, and breaded chicken (like they have at most asian restaraunts.) The only thing remotely Cajun about this place is the Bourbon chicken. It really isn't very good at that. Don't waste your time at this place and get some Asian food from Sarku or Panda Express. read more

Kelly's Cajun Grill - 'Cajun' food - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

For a restaurant in a mall food court, it was quite good. I ordered the bourbon chicken with an egg roll. The portions are quite large and I only paid $6.43 for the combo with rice and a drink. The server and cashier were very polite and friendly. Service was fast, especially when they were busy with Christmas shoppers. read more

Tasty food and big portions, cant beat the price! reviews for bad service are ridiculous! Of course their busy, its in a mall!

It's not really Cajun but I mean that's expected from mall food, c'mon Really generous portions for the price and super tasty.

I do not recommended eating here unless you want to have the worst customer service experience in your life. I voiced a concern to a cashier who was cross contaminating my food. She then told me that my friend and I were over reacting. I had asked her what if I had an allergy and she said rudely "Well do you?" I said I don't eat pork and she said "oh well." I said "May I speak with a manager because you are very rude." "she said yes" all smug and disrespectful. She then grabbed a guy from the back of the restaurant with the same uniform as her. I started telling him what had happened and she blurted out "We have cameras that see everything so it's all on camera. Just pay for your food and go." I looked up at her and said I don't want your food and I walked away. Kelly's Cajun Grill is the most unprofessional, inconsiderate, and health hazard place you can go. Don't spend your money here. read more

As a real Louisianian from New Orleans I can definitely say THAT KELLY'S CAJUN GRILL IS THE BEST CAJUN FOOD IN THE WORLD, its better than my mommas cooking and its definitely better than your mommas cooking! Ima go to sleep on the floor now! read more

We don't eat at the Tucson Mall very often, we were there and we were hungry. So we did. It's Friday, it's Lent, so we tried their blackened fish. IT WAS DELICIOUS!! May have to do it again soon...certainly before next Lent. Thank you Kelly's Cajun Grill for an unexpected treat!! read more

This location is currently closed. The mall office says they have a range hood problem but I am not sure if that is true as I read a review recently that stated some people got food poisoning. I think the name is mis leading as this seems more like a panda express type eatery. I lived in New Orleans and their menu has no connection to Cagun food. I am unsure when they will open again. Google states they are open so I would call them first to check on whether they are really open. read more

Good food and great service but big hunks if chicken cartilage in my food is not appealing. If they would have just cleaned the chicken properly this food, although not Cajun at all, would gave been totally crave worthy. read more

Food was beyond burnt! Rice over peppered and mushy noodles! Very disappointed.

I LOVE this place. I am so glad they give out free samples or else I probably would have never tried it but I am SO glad I did. It is ten times better than panda express (which is right next door). All this place needs is cream cheese ragoons and I'd probably never go to Panda express ever again. Now whenever I want lunch and am anywhere near the Tucson mall I stop here. The portion sizes are usually pretty large and completely worth the money. This is a MUST GO. Another plus to this place is that they have the BEST fried rice I have ever had in my entire life. read more

If you're hanging out or in the Tucson mall looking for something quick stop by here the bourbon chicken is really good and so is the honey chicken. That was super awesome deal going buy one meal get a second one meat meal for $3.70. My husband and I stopped here for lunch day can't beat lunch for two people under $15 read more

For food court food that isnt a large chain its pretty good. Every time i visit the Tucson Mall this is my spot to grab a quick bite to eat and its inexpensive. For $8 you get a choice of fried rice or steamed rice, a veggie or spring roll, and 2 meats... what a ganga! I normally get the bourbon chicken and the blackened chicken-- mmm mmm good. The flavor is super good for a fast food joint. And if you havent tried them before they are always handing out SAMPLES as you walk by! Best marketing ever- doubt youll try it and not order a plate to go. read more

I stopped here for lunch during Christmas shopping, because I wanted to try something new. Surprisingly the Cajun/spicy chicken was really good. It had a good kick and was delicious when you ate it over white rice. Although it was called Cajun Grill, they never advertised it as Cajun food. For Chinese food standards, it was comparable to Kung Pao chicken. Also, it was cheap and service was quick. read more

the food here is really good!! the blackened fish is a must try along with the bourbon chicken hands down the best combo! Portions will easily fill you up even with some leftovers and their buy 1 get 2nd for $4 is a smoking deal! read more

My wife and I ate here for lunch at the Tucson Mall food court. We got the honey chicken among other things. All was good until I bit into a larger piece of chicken. It wasn't cooked all the way. My wife had more big pieces than I and she noticed the same thing on hers. She then took hers and my pieces up to let them know and to get our money back on at least one meal since everything else was, well, ok. The manager, do not know her name, turned from my wife and told the kitchen about the problem. My wife then proceeded to tell her we would like to have a refund on her meal due to the way undercooked chicken. The manager then gave her a hard time about the rest of the food (we had two meats, rice, and potatoes) being pretty much eaten and saying she has to pay rent. Never said anything about being sorry and will make sure that it will not happen again. Then she turns to the food vender next to her food place and starts mouthing off to them about everything. I then went up to straighten it all out. She took my wife's receipt, pulls the money out and gives it to her while mouthing off the hole time to us and the food vender next to her. Of course, rent came up several times. Not, we made a mistake and thank you for letting us know. I told her, maybe people need to know about her undercooked chicken. She just keep mouthing off. So I turned and announced it to everyone that was around. It's not right that food places like this serve food undercooked to there customers and give customers a hard time for something they did completely wrong. A simple sorry, I will get on it right away and let me take care of your bill or replace this old with fresh would have been great. Not so hard! Needless to say, we will not be returning there, nor recommend. We never saw her replace the rest of the chicken either. Please BEWARE! I just hope we don't end up with food poisoning or something. read more

It's more oriental than cajun, but still good food. My wife and I ate there because we didn't feel like eating any of the chain stores in the food court and we enjoyed it. The other reason I give it a 4 is the way they charge extra for any changes. For instance, steamed rice is a dollar more. read more
