Absolutely outstanding gumbo and etoufee, equal to the best I've had in New Orleans. 10 out of 10. About the only negative I've ever experienced is the oysters. Have to admit the oysters were only average. As to the outstanding gumbo, Caeser salads, soups. Just seriously spot on. Everything is cooked right in front of you; and the cooks (and foodservers) are very friendly, outgoing, etc. I normally don't tip the cooks, but here I do. Granted, I worked at a restaurant all through college so I get it. But, Yes Sir.... This place is the cat's meow.

They were busy at around 10:15pm so we had to wait a bit for a table. We also had a large group of 8 but luckily we were able to get seated. Our server did an amazing job with our large group. Some in the group ordered pan roasts and some ordered crawfish etouffee. My friend also ordered clams. I always get the combo pan roast here. It's a mix of crawfish, shrimp and crab. Choose your spice level from 1-10. I forgot to specify a number and just said "hot" but it was not spicy enough for me. I normally get 7-8. I ended up adding in all the hot sauce options that were on the table plus some chili powder. Now that had a good kick to it. Ask for that! Price for the combo pan roast has doubled from before! It used to be $20, then it slowly increased to $30, and now it's $40! It's good, but I can also make it at home and get more for my money.

Once again, Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen did not disappoint…read more We ordered the hush puppies with sausage and the chicken gumbo, and both were excellent. The chicken was incredibly tender, with just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more. James, the bartender, greeted us like regulars even though we don't visit as often as we should. There was live music playing and a steady stream of customers coming in for dine-in and to-go orders, which says a lot about how loved this place is. From the staff to the customers, everyone was friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoy the Southern vibe and always leave happy.

For me, I'm relatively new to it besides po boys and jambalaya. I've had Baby Kay's on my list for a while, and we happened to be nearby. We stopped in on a Saturday around noon. It wasn't packed, but wasn't dead. The decor is Mardi Gras. We had a hard time deciding what to try so we decided to try items we already know well and get a baseline for the flavors. We shared the shrimp po boy w/ fries and the rice & beans with sausage. We also had a side salad that came with the rice & beans. All in all everything was good. We would come back and try some other things, including the crawfish. Staff was friendly, and service was quick.

The service is typically always great, can be a bit slower on the weekends or peak time but no biggie. I've tried everything from their drinks, appetizers, hibachi, seafood, and most recently what blew my mind was their fried catfish! So good after frequenting someplace else in the area went back again for a to go order. Something that I wouldn't note is that if you are going with a larger group they do charge an 18% gratuity for 6 or more. All in all, no complaints definitely a hidden gem!

The shrimp was overcooked and rubbery. The scallops tasted very fishy, like a cheap store brand…read moreproduct. We also had the stir‑fried noodles, which were decent. We complained about the shrimp and scallop quality and were only offered 20% off -- they didn't even offer to remake the dish. I did eat the side items -- the corn and potato -- because the waitress never came by to check on us or ask how our food was. I refused to pay for the seafood portion, and they actually called the police on me. I have never been treated so badly by a restaurant, especially when the food quality was that poor. So beware: if the food quality is bad and you feel it's unfair to pay for it, they will threaten you with the police -- who clearly have more important things to deal with than responding to a restaurant's food‑quality complaint.

I got the shrimp and crab combo which came with a piece of corn and a potato, but the waitress honored my request for two pieces of corn instead at no extra charge. I got the Cajun and garlic seasoning with a spice level of two. While I didn't get it this time, their catfish and fries are some of the best I've ever had. They don't accept reservations but, when I was initially expecting our group to be closer to 10-15 people, I called ahead and they made a note of this and remembered this detail when we walked in. There is ample parking outside as this restaurant is located in the same lot as a big strip mall.

We stood around and witnessed all the beautiful people roll in from all walks of life. Food is really that thing that will pull it all together. Pair that with some good tunes and a friendly staff, you're bound to spend the entire day there lol. Let's get to the food- Wings for the table- OK! Crispy, not saucy, just light and airy. It tasted slightly sweet with something else I can't place my finger on. French Toast with the grand mariner sauce- yes please and thank you! I did not taste the sauce, but the French toast tasted good. I had some egg whites and the chicken tenders with it. Not a fan of chicken tenders, but there's no substituting, so tenders it is. Mocktail with lemonade and ginger- I don't remember the name but that was quite refreshing. I would've opted for more ginger b/c I like it spicy , and it got the job done. My other homies had shrimp and grits, salmon croquettes. They enjoyed it. Shout out to our waiter Chance . Quite pleasant and had a great aura. He recommended some spots for us to see/explore and didn't rush us. I'd definitely return should I visit AZ again!

I wasn't expecting to be blown away, but it turned out to be a solid meal. Definitely a fun spot if you're in the mood for seafood, and I'll probably be back next time I'm craving crawfish.

We really like coming to this place. It isn't fancy, but it is fun. The decor is rustic seaside…read more There is lots of wood everywhere and they've allowed people to write on it. Surprisingly we haven't seen a lot of vulgar things written, although we did try to correct some grammar as we sat there. There's a giant shark overhead as well as a rowboat. There's an alligator over the tin roof over the tables on the side. Of course they have crab and shrimp boils, but we didn't order any of that. We got the blackened shrimp Caesar salad, fried gator nuggets, fried okra, and frogs legs. Everything was, as always, really yummy. They do serve quite a variety of pre-mixed cocktails, and they are cheap. Today we ordered two hurricanes, but in the past I've really liked the peach daiquiri Another good thing about this place is the prices. They're lunch specials run until 6:00 p.m., so if you're there before 6:00 you'll get some good deals. The gator nuggets come in a paper tray and the salad comes in a plastic take out bowl, but it's all just fine.
