I have seen dozens of of reviews on multiple Facebook pages highlighting some very concerning issues. Items like servers not being paid their wages, the food quality being not what people had expected, the overall cleanliness of the establishment has been noted as poor as well. As of this post, the business is up for sale and closed. read more

As a native of New Orleans and grandson of a Creole cook, I am always on the lookout for restaurants that specialize in Cajun, Creole and/or Low-Country dishes. When I learned that the Ragin' Cajun's owner was from Gretna, LA; I was sure it would be good. So far, I have visited the restaurant twice. Its pretty good and I suspect it will get even better. Their Seafood Gumbo is spot on. The Crawfish Etouffee was a bit thin, but still pretty tasty. OMG, their Hamburger Po'Boy and White Chocolate Bread Pudding is off the chain!!! I am definitely a fan and plan to return at least once or twice a month. read more

I was craving a shrimp po boy and I stumbled across this place. The employees were very friendly and shared with me that the owner is from Gretna, LA, The decor was very authentic to his roots with all of the paintings, there's even a sign that says Welcome to the city of Gretna! The menu is full of delicious sounding selections and I will be back to try something different. I got my shrimp po boy to go and I also got the Gouda grits, highly recommended by an employee. I got home plated my food and it was good. The menu claimed that they use Leidenheimer Bread. That's one of the best breads to use for po boys. All in all I had a great experience. read more

The food was yummy and reasonable portion (not massive, but that's fine with me.) I got the crawfish etoufee (with rice) and my friend got the shrimp and grits. We also had our arm twisted (easy sell) to order the bread pudding. Glad we did! It was a worthwhile splurge and a huge, shareable portion. I found all the food a bit lukewarm though. I prefer hotter temperature. Maybe because it was served in melamine bowls it cooled down too quickly? Unsure the reason but both our entrees and bread pudding dessert were not piping hot. Very attentive service. read more

Not pictured is the Sangria I ordered, it isn't anything I would order again. My husband had the Crawfish Po Boy and thought the bread overpowered the amount of crawfish he got. The crawfish was really good. I got the Who Dat Catfish that came with rice or Gouda grits and I chose the Gouda grits. Best. Decision. Ever. I would go back just to eat an entire bowl of those grits. The catfish was very tasty with a great crust that held up well with the étouffée and grits. My only complaint was that the food was really salty but not inedibly so. The atmosphere was relaxed, casual and spacious with a bar, multiple dining rooms and a nice outdoor seating area. They had a few TVs that were thankfully playing college football, so we appreciated that. The service was good, our server was very sweet and appropriately attentive. I can't wait to go back for those damn good creamy, cheesy, comforting grits. read more

My older brother picked this place out to try for a brother's hangout. When we got to Ragin' Cajun, I just noticed all the different sea paintings on the wall. Since it was a day after Christmas, the restaurant wasn't so busy. It didn't take long for us to be seated. Our waitress and hostess were amazing and kind. They were short-staffed, but they work really hard. I decided to get the blackened chicken sandwich and fries. The blackened chicken sandwich was just alright, nothing special. I think the chicken needed more seasoning. Also, the coleslaw that was on the sandwich just wasn't good at all. The fries, on the otherhand were amazing. They were just seasoned to perfection. read more

Went on Valentine's Day. Great Cajun food. Great service. Very good selection of Cajun fare.

Consistently great food with one small hiccup -- but still one of our favorite spots. We came in for brunch and I ordered the andouille hash, which was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. I was especially excited for the poached eggs, but unfortunately mine was about 20-30 seconds undercooked -- enough that the whites were very runny, so I had to eat around it. That said, everything else on the plate was spot-on. The hash, andouille, crawfish, and vegetables were all cooked perfectly, and the seasoning was on point. Cajun food is hard to salt correctly with all the different textures, but they nailed it. Someone else at our table ordered the crawfish étouffée and grits with poached eggs, and hers were cooked perfectly. She was hesitant to open hers after seeing mine, so I checked it for her -- and it truly was perfect. She loved her dish as well. Now for the star of the show: the boudin balls. These alone are worth coming back for. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and slightly creamy on the inside, and seasoned exactly the way they should be. Whether you dip them in the house remoulade or the Creole mustard, you can't go wrong -- though I personally prefer the remoulade for its slight kick. Service today was a bit slower than usual, but the place was extremely busy, so I don't hold that against the staff. I actually had a chance to talk with the bar manager and learned he makes the Bloody Mary mix from scratch, along with his own compound syrups for the specialty cocktails. My Bloody Mary was great -- flavorful, hydrating, and (depending on the day) even bottomless. I appreciate when people take pride in their craft and elevate it into something creative. We also had an amazing live band playing New Orleans style music, which added a perfect atmosphere to the meal and made the whole experience feel even more authentic. All in all, even with the small poached egg mishap, we had an excellent meal, like we always do. Ragin Cajun continues to be one of our go-to spots, and we'll keep coming back time and time again. read more

On an early Sunday evening, my family and I decided to try this restaurant for our very first time. We began with an appetizer of the shrimp remoulade, which we quickly ate. It was tasty, and definitely appetizer-sized. For my entree, I had the crawfish étouffée. It was well-balanced and delicious. I like that it wasn't overly spicy. The portion size was a bit smaller than I wanted, though. My wife quite enjoyed her bowl of Louisiana seafood gumbo. I was especially glad that the bar was capable of making decent-tasting mocktails from the specialty drink menu. (Sadly, all of their cocktails are served within smallish plastic cups.) Still remaining hungry, we decided to split a fried shrimp po boy sandwich for dessert. It came with cajun fries that were overly-salty. Happily, the breaded shrimp were tiny and popping with delicious flavor. Our sever was sweet, personable, and patiently answered all of our questions. Our food and drink orders all were promptly delivered to our comfortable booth. Getting refills of iced tea was automatic. The vibe here was very relaxed, and we enjoyed the slow pace of our leisurely supper. We liked the Cajun song that were sometimes played over the p.a. system. Overall, we quite enjoyed our experience, and plan on returning for more Cajun cuisine. Next time, we surely would like to try the New Orleans style bread pudding! read more

The service was great but I have mixed opinions about the food options. The chicken paste was good. But the crawfish pasta was not , it's fishy and as flavorful but they was nice enough to let me switch to the chicken paste which was better tasting , creamy and had more flavor. The catfish was really good . Red beans and rice was very delicious, similar to NOLA style. But the drinks are delicious, it's a great bartenders there. We didn't do any appetizer this time but I would probably come back to try the egg rolls for happy hour one day. But the server was so sweet and they have plenty of seating for a big party... read more

Went to dinner with friends Saturday. Great time of catching up. We started dinner with some eggplant fries. They were hot and pretty tasty. The sauce was quite delicious. It was a tad greasy but we still ate them. Dinner was a fried catfish po boy. I only ate half since I ate a lot of the eggplant fries. The restaurant was very busy but we got seated quickly. Our waitress Sydney was nice and checked on us from time to time. She sorta rushed one of my friends but it was all good. The decor has a New Orleans theme with some seafood decorations. There were a few tv s for people that enjoy sports. The prices are moderate and affordable. I may come again to try some other dishes like the seafood gumbo and shrimp and grits. We had a fun time. read more

To start, the interior looked like a day care center, lighting was so harsh you need sunglasses. Food- good portions and good ingredients. Unfortunately, there was no seasoning, very bland. Good thing they had Crystal to liven it up. House drinks were too sweet. Waitress had zero training. I wanted this to be a good experience but unfortunately, no. read more

The food is delicious and the service is great. We met the owner on our first visit and he's lovely. His goal is truly to bring the Authentic taste of New Orleans and you can tell in his dishes. Come for brunch... unlimited mimosas & bloody Mary's!!! Our drinks were amazing. If you like bloody Mary's DEFINITELY get the Cajun Bloody Mary. The catfish poboy & blackened chicken pasta were perfect. We did not expect the "frittata" to be Starbucks egg bite sized so that was disappointing. The blackened catfish (not pictured) was also delicious. Had an issue with not receiving the appropriate amount of fish for the dish ordered but the server promptly fixed it. We will definitely be returning! Great Ambiance, outdoor patio seating available, & a live band some weekends. read more

Went for Mother's Day and got right in a 12pm. I have been before and was excited to have the endless mimosas again, well they lost their liquor license, we should have left at that point but didn't. The tables were so sticky our phones and plates literally stuck to the tables. My daughter ordered the shrimp and grits, only to be told 10 minutes later they were out of it, mind you they had only been open for an hour. She re-ordered and then 10 minutes later come to find out they were out of what I ordered as well. Before I could even place another order, the other two meals came out. I will say the fried shrimp platter probably had 60 shrimp on it , and were very good, so I just shared everyone else's food. My other daughter had the blackened chicken pasta that had absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. They were giving out a free glass of champagne for mothers, which I'm not quite sure how since they had lost their liquor license, but regardless, I will not be back. read more

Perfect little spot for a light lunch, and the patio seating? Right across from the park, making for a great view while you dine. Eat like a pro read more

The food was ok but it was very pricey for just ok food or what I thought it would be for 2 entrees and no alcohol. Decor says New Orleans, but the food says otherwise. Bread for the po'boy was not quite right. The roast beef po'boy was more like a chipped beef sandwich. Service was adequate but I would expect better for such an expensive place. Overall, I won't come back except for the bottomless mimosas on Sunday's before 3 read more

Ragin' Cajun - Crawfish Queso - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

One of our favorite places--consistently excellent food, service and atmosphere! We live recommending the Ragin' Cajun to friends and family

Came in on a Saturday afternoon; not too busy. BBQ oyster po-boy and side of crawfish etoufee was excellent. Regional beer selection was good -- I like Abita varieties. Bartender service was excellent. Only criticism is the BBQ shrimp appetizer---flavor was not the best (compared to other recipes I've had); but, more importantly the shrimp wasn't peeled. Who wants to spend the first 10min peeling shrimp in scalding broth before eating? Don't mind if you leave on the tails, but it's not that hard to peel shrimp in service prep. Will pass on that appetizer next time time, but I will be back. read more

Went there for a car club meeting so I didn't pick the place. Review of the menu or tge prices didn't entice me. So I opted for the cheeseburger which was fine but I thought a but pricey at $13.25 and a charge for using credit card. It was ok - I wouldn't elect to go there had I not been in the group.

I ordered a Crawfish platter. It was bland, no flavor ......especially of what people would expect for a "raging Cajun" named restaurant. I'm not saying that it's supposed to be spicy but it's supposed to taste like crawfish. Plus, some of my crawfish were completely mushy, smelly and black-completely inedible. Why is this put out for consumption?!! Don't think I'll be back to this place for a while especially not for crawfish. read more

My husband and I went to eat at Ragin' Cajun on their opening night. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately. The menu has a plethora of items to choose from. I ordered the Shrimp Platter and my husband ordered the Shrimp Po Boy. The food came out very hot. The shrimp were very tasty with just the right amount of seasoning and let me add that they were so FRESH!! My husband liked the Po Boy as well. It did take about an hour to get our food however, our waitress was very attentive and kept checking in with the kitchen and letting us know when it should be up. They just opened so I am sure they are working out the kinks. The customer service provided by the staff was excellent. In addition to being greeted as soon as we walked in, to having a great waitress, I watched other staff go around table to table checking in with customers. Customer service goes along way and they definitely deserve an A+ for their customer service. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was due to the portion size. The shrimp platter only had 6 medium sized shrimp. I highly recommend you try Ragin' Cajun. The food was fresh, tasted great and the customer service was awesome. read more

Ragin' Cajun - Seafood Platter - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

This is hands down the most authentic Cajun cuisine I've enjoyed in years. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a little slice of Louisiana right here in Bartlett. The owner is from Louisiana, and it truly shows--many of the ingredients are sourced directly from there, which makes a noticeable difference in the flavor and authenticity of every dish. The food is bold, comforting, and full of soul, the way Cajun food is meant to be. Nothing feels watered down or overly commercialized; instead, each bite reflects tradition, care, and a deep respect for the culture behind the cuisine. You can tell these recipes come from lived experience, not just a cookbook. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the pride behind what they serve is evident. Ragin Cajun isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience that honors Louisiana roots while bringing something special to the Bartlett community. If you're looking for real Cajun flavor made by people who truly know and love the culture, this place is an absolute must. read more

We went for lunch on a beautiful spring Friday and sat outside on the patio. Beautiful flowers in hanging pots outside. Very comfortable with lots of shade. We ordered a cup of seafood gumbo to start. The gumbo was full of shrimp and crawfish, with a very flavorful broth. In order to have great gumbo you have to start with great roux. This is some of the best gumbo we've eaten. The gumbo was served with rice and a slice of crispy buttered French bread. We ordered the lunch portion of crawfish jambalaya and red beans and rice. Both were served with a long slice of sausage on top. The red beans were very thick. Overall our food was very good. Personally I would have liked some onions, celery and peppers in the red beans. Our server Meaghan was the best. read more

Ragin' Cajun - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

I was craving fried fish so we Decided to order some take out from Ragin'Cajun. I ordered 2 catfish po'boys and a cup of gumbo. When we arrived to pickup our food up, the parking lot was packed so we knew our food was probably not ready, but we were proven wrong. Our food was ready! When we got home, i took a bite out of my sandwich and it was everything i had been craving! It was so delicious that i forgot to take a picture! The fries were pretty mediocre. I took a bite of the gumbo and felt like it needed a little bit of salt. But once i added some, it was delicious! I even dipped those basic fries in it and even those became good!! My husband took a bite of his sandwich and looked at me and nodded "yep" in agreeance of how good the food was!! People are often quick to make a bad review or call to complain about the food so i make an effort that when i really enjoy something, to tell the owner. So i called and asked to speak with a manager. Of course they think it's someone complaining but the element of surprise when they hear "I'm just calling to tell you how great our food was"! The manager, Meka i believe she said her name was, was like "omg thank you" i told her to tell her kitchen staff that they're doing good and to keep it up! I'll def be going back to dine in. Meka was so thankful for my kind words and said next time we're in, that she's treating us to a free dessert! Def going to hold her to it!! read more

Ragin Cajun Seafood & Po'boys 2740 Bartlett Rd Bartlett, TN 38134 United States This is my personal review from our first time here. We went April 01, 2025 for dinner. Was just my wife and me. Walking in we were greeted and seated right away. Our server came quickly to our table. He took our drink order and asked if we wanted an appetizer. We didn't. My wife had a Hurricane, I stayed with water. $12.75 for the mixed drink. Not worth it. Neither of us could taste any alcohol. The mix was tasty. Crawfish & Andouille pasta, $19.75. Worth it. The dish was very flavorful. Plenty of crawfish ( tails ) and sausage. Shrimp boil, $18.75. Not worth it. Plenty of shrimp, probably close to a pound. Maybe even was a pound. Some sausage that tastes like turkey sausage. Two potatoes and a corn. The potato's didn't taste like they were cooked in a seasoned boiling water. Added some salt and pepper to give them flavor. The corn at first didn't taste like it was seasoned. But then it hit ya. The corn was good. When this dish came out it was disappointing visually as there was no seasoning sprinkled on it as we kind of expected. Will we go back? Probably but not any time soon. read more

Ragin' Cajun - Receipt for our dinner last night. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

A much needed local gem for the Bartlett area. A great place to go for good Cajun food has arrived. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, and a good variety of offerings including probably the best gumbo I've had outside of Louisiana. Add to that their tasty Red Beans and Rice and the Bread Pudding. You'll not only struggle get out your seat you'll be so satisfyingly full. But you'll have to fight the urge to randomly stop in when you drive by the place. I highly recommend the Who Dat Catfish and for a good appetizer the Louisiana Sausage Sampler, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more
