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.
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.
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.
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.
The appetizer plate advertise alligator, no alligator! However they took 30% off of that appetizer. They also didn't have oyster. The catfish taste like dirt. The service was good.
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.
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!
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...
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.
Rajun Cajun's is the best! We had our monthly book club meetup last night and everything we had was delicious! The service was wonderful, too! If you want some authentic New Orleans food with Mardi Gras right around the corner, come check them out! You won't be disappointed!
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.
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.
The service was excellent, the food was pretty good, there is indoor and outdoor dining plenty of room well lit great ambiance- very southern/ Louisiana style seafood gumbo could use a little more flavor but otherwise boudin balls, red beans and rice , catfish po boy we're all pretty tasty.

Too bad.... So sad.... Wish I didn't buy that SweetDeal just for them to close the next week. The boudin balls may be the best I have ever had. I don't really like them, but these damn things were awesome!! It was Cajun-ish. That's the best way to describe it, inside and out. Everything else was meh for the most part. Servers were fair. Inside was ok. Still a bit run down after the last places had worn it out. Maybe it will be a nice gas station now. No shock they closed. I hear dude is going to open another place.

I'm back again, and this place still brings the good vibes! The atmosphere is lively, and the service is as friendly as ever. I went for the BBQ Po' Boy--absolute hit, especially with those red onions adding a punch of flavor. The blackened chicken pasta was a tad salty but still packed with deliciousness. 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

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. People in the group were satisfied and said tge food was good. Atmosphere was nice and service was attentive. So, read the online menu and see if it is for you. 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

Truly enjoyed this experience! The customer service was great! We were well taken care of and our server put our appetizers on the house because our entrees showed up beforehand. I am not a catfish fan, but it was so tender and flaky! The batter on it was so flavorful. Definitely going back! 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

the most authentic Cajun food outside of Louisiana. They do it right. From the Po Boy bread to the gumbo everything taste like its from New Orleans. The place looks cool also with a bunch of Louisiana themed folk art and murals. Service was awesome I had McKenna as a server and she was very friendly. read more
