Catfish was rinsed not cleaned and taste like dirt, literally threw it away.
Kim H.

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.

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.

Who Dat Catfish w/ Gouda Grits (excellent)
Anise S.

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.

Blackened Chicken Sandwich and Fries
Jordon B.

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.

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!

Fried Boudin Balls
Dylan M.

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.

Shrimp boil Frittata

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.

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.

Bbq shrimp Po Boy
Travis J.

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

Crawfish Queso
Robin A.

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

Coastal Fish Company is always a great spot for a romantic night out or a great dinner experience…read more For starters, we had the NOLA oysters, and they are probably my favorite oysters in Memphis. I love the sauce, and you can definitely tell the oysters are fresh. Next, we had the steak and mashed potatoes -- the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The lobster bisque was my starter, and it was honestly one of the best I've had in a while. The only small disappointment was the dessert , pineapple upside down cake. It seemed a little overcooked because it had a slightly burnt taste at the bottom. Overall, the service is always 10/10, and I'd give the food a solid 9/10. Definitely one of my favorite places in Memphis for a quality dining experience. i'd like to come back again and watch the sunset from the patio.

I came to Coastal Fish Company for a special occasion after wanting to try it for years, and…read morehonestly the experience was really disappointing--especially the service. Our server was barely attentive to our table. She went around checking on other tables near us, but hardly came to ours at all. The only time she really interacted with us was when she brought the check. No follow-up, no asking how the food was, no drink refills--nothing. It honestly felt like we were overlooked the entire time. To make things worse, she wasn't even the one who brought out our food. Someone else dropped it off, and after that we were basically on our own. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected much more attentive and professional service. The food didn't make up for it either. I ordered the Chilean sea bass, and it was very underwhelming. The fish lacked flavor, the potatoes were soggy, and overall it just wasn't enjoyable. Definitely not what you expect for the price. Overall, between the inattentive service and the disappointing food, the experience just didn't live up to the hype at all.
