Have been going to the Frisco, CO "Lost Cajun" since they opened back in 2010. We were stationed previously on the Gulf Coast in Biloxi, MS, for a number years & went into New Orleans often for our "Cajun fix" so we know good Cajun food. We took a hiatus here during the pandemic, until last week when out of state friends were here & we went back again. OMG, I had the best catfish & fries in ages!! Our friends loved their etouffee. My catfish was nice & crispy on outside (not burnt) & actually flaky (not mushy, like at many other places in CO claiming to be Cajun or southern). The fries were to die for. Kage & the other chefs back in the kitchen really outdid themselves! The service was friendly & great. It is a small cafe & filled up quickly after we arrived, so, I recommend get there early so you don't have to wait. We'll be back again & soon more regularly to get our Cajun fixes. read more

Flavor abounds! Had the trio- both gumbos and the red beans and rice. Bits of sausage in the red beans. Seafood gumbo was so delicious. The chicken and sausage gumbo was spicy but I emptied the bowl cause the flavor was so wonderful. Hubby has the fried shrimp plate. He thought the shrimp was great tasting. I gotta remember to take pics. The decor fit the name. Outdoor patio was spacious and perfect for a sunny day like today. Service excelled- offered to-go cups for our unfinished drinks. read more

Incredibly disappointing. Lost Cajun has been steadily getting worse. When we moved here 6 years ago it was a favorite, but we won't ever be going back. My husband went to Frisco to bring dinner back to Breck. Not only did they forget several items (fries for the shrimp platters, extra rice), our order was completely inedible--crawfish ettouffee had 2 small crawfish & was not good. Both my husband & daughter also had fried shrimp--it was too salty to eat. read more

Well, I was raised on Cajun food. Lived in Louisiana for a long time. So when passing thru on the way home I was excited to be able to eat some Cajun food. 1. Our server must hate his job. Bitched abt his day and wanted to go home. We ordered the boudin balls. They came out small and burnt. Horrible!! My husband got the fish poboy and I got the shrimp poboy. My husband said his was ok. Mine, not good at all. The shrimp was so tiny and tasted like frozen popcorn shrimp. The batter was so salty and the lettuce and tomato was wilted and nasty. Barely ate a half of the sandwich. . The restaurant was dirty and nasty. They had shirts on display that was covered in nasty filmy dust. The place looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. Was let down, disappointed as not a Cajun place should be. Will not go back. And today we are both doubled over w stomach cramps. read more

Get the Cajun mayo. EXCELLENT choice to dip catfish bites. Had Cajun pasta, crawfish etoufee, catfish bites appetizer and beignets to go. Flavor and price perfect. Transport yourself to New Orleans flavor in Colorado. Took the beignets to go for this eve and they packaged them well for us. Super helpful server. Town is also a gorgeous place to get off highway and stretch legs and shop. read more

Brandy (cook) and Kat (server) took such great care of us. From the gator bites app to the trios, everything was amazing! Trio on left; crawfish étouffée, lobster bisque, jambalaya. Trio on right jambalaya, lobster bisque, and seafood gumbo. Somehow, my husband also saved room for a beignet. 10/10 would stop here again! read more

Good fried seafood , I like their combo plater plate, tested good. Kids menu is ok also

If I lived in Frisco, I'd eat here AT LEAST once a week (probably more). Amazing! The catfish melts in your mouth and the bisque...well I'm thinking of taking a quart or more home with me (it's somehow light, rich and delicious-yes I can taste the lobster-all at the same time). I've been to Nola many times and THIS beats most I've had... don't miss the gem if you're ever in Frisco or Canyon City... Any yes, they serve LA beers! read more

Here's a quick round-up of our experience: We ordered Gumbo & Cajun Trio which included Seafood gumbo, Chicken and sausage gumbo, and Jambalaya. It was a great choice as it allowed us to sample three different typical dishes at once. We also had the Fish po boy. Tasty and filling with the flavor showing that great attention to detail in making it truly authentic was made. The standouts were definitely the Jambalaya and the Po boy. Both the dishes were nicely balanced in flavor, having that authentic Cajun taste that's hard to replicate outside Louisiana. The Beignets were served in portions of either 1 or 3, which seemed odd at first but proved wise as they were very rich. Save room for the beignets because they are incredible, covered in powdered sugar, hot, and crispy. The service was top notch. read more

The food here is A+. I had the crawfish etouffee and it was spectacular. It had all of the right ingredients and flavors. It had the right amount of pop to it and went exceptionally well with the bread and rice. I also had the beignets which were excellent. I'll definitely return. read more

We were deceived by the fairly high previous reviews. This was a very disappointing meal. All 3 Cajun dishes I tried were totally lacking any flavor and were mostly rice with a bland broth and a few tiny pieces of meat and fish. It may have been the worst Cajun I've ever had. read more

Been visiting The Lost Cajun for over a decade now, and the Frisco location does a great job upholding their image. They've got quite a diverse menu, so you'll find something for everyone! Staff were some of the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure of talking with. Definitely a must-eat next time you're in town, and despite the drive, I will definitely be making a special trip just for this food and staff sometime in the near future :) read more

The Lost Cajun - Hush Puppies, Sample Platter (Lobster Bisque, Jumbalaya, Red Beans and Rice), Voodoo Pasta, Louisiana Sweet Tea - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

This spot immediately caught our eye on a cold winter day because there's nothing better to warm the soul than a heaping portion of Gumbo. The spice level was mild enough that adding some house hot sauce and swamp salt helped heat things up. The jambalaya was flavorful and plentiful. Our favorite part was the beignet. They were clearly freshly made and we made a mess of ourselves with the powdered sugar. The staff was kind and the service was prompt. We really enjoyed the overall experience. Note - seating is limited and may not accommodate large groups, but they do have the option to buy their Gumbo by the gallon to bring home! read more

We have eaten here probably 8 times over the last couple of years and it has always been wonderful until now. Ordered the VooDoo pasta and the sauce was flat, runny and had zero flavor so we sent it back and ordered the Cajun Alfredo with chicken. The sauce was also flat, runny and zero flavor. I'm not sure what they changed but in the past it had tons of flavor and the sauce stuck to the noodles. This sauce just ran off the noodles. It was really disappointing.....we always made a point of having a meal there......If I ever go back, I won't be ordering pasta and we will have to stick to the fried catfish. read more

Awesome Cajun/creole place in Frisco! My wife and I walked around the entire town to see all the food options, and I am glad we decided on this place. Super friendly staff and there's a good amount of seats inside and out. I got the Cajun trio since I couldn't decide on just one flavor. I got the Jambalaya, crawfish etouffee and seafood gumbo, and all 3 were really fresh and packed with flavor! Will definitely come back again the next time I am in town! read more

The Lost Cajun - Cajun Trio: Seafood Gumbo, Crawfish Etoufffee, and Jambalaya - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

4 small shrimp in a large bun for the poboy. Ran out of most of the menu. Very slow service

Absolutely phenomenal experience, Kat was such a joy and gave us such a memorable time!!!

Ok having seen all these glowing reviews, I guess I expected extraordinary Cajun food. I was very disappointed. Husband ordered the jambalaya which was very dry and looked more like dirty rice ( he found 1 shrimp). And it was just . . . well, lackluster-very little flavor. I ordered the fried shrimp, which appeared to be pre-battered frozen shrimp from a bag. Nothing spectacular here. Even the hush-puppies were dry and overcooked. Maybe it was a one off? I don't know. Seating was tight, but the staff (mother and daughter team) was very nice and friendly. That's the only thing that kept me from leaving a 1 star review. read more

I have been dreaming of revisiting this restaurant ever since the first time stopping in - 14 years later and The Lost Cajun lived up to every recommendation I have given folks. Food is incredible, hot, flavorful, and exactly what we needed on this cool day. Please do yourself a favor and give this place a shot if you are in the Frisco area. read more

The Lost Cajun - Lobster Bisque, Seafood Gumbo, Zydeco Shrimp Po Boy and Catfish Platter - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

Thought we'd stop in check it out as the other place we wanted was full. We should have waited for the other place. The owner was not happy that anyone wanted to eat here. She was not pleasant and had zero patience! Her attitude and demeanor sucked and just helped make the experience that much worse! The food was ok, but it was the smallest portion, almost the size of a kids meal! Beignets were decent. Unfortunately, we left hungry and disappointed. read more

Service was superb. Food was great. That chix and sausage gumbo was really good, definite best on the table. We also tried the jambalaya and the seafood and chips platter, which were just ok. Lobster bisque was creamy and the portion was huge. The kids loved the voodoo pasta. The sausage was apparent in a few of the dishes we ordered, and it had some heat. We would run it back when we go back to Colorado. read more

There's a little text blurb at in the menu stating there's a 20% surcharge for to-go orders "to cover the cost of the supplies needed to package your meal." Surely, the paper box was over $3 for these guys. That's how my $16 sandwich became $23.11. Otherwise, it was pretty solid! My zydeco shrimp po-boy was on par with ones I've had in Houston and Louisiana. Nothing too crazy, but it's not like it needs to be. It was pretty quick too, as they said 15 minutes but I got there in 10 and it was ready. read more

Used to be special. Now it feels like it's a bother to the owner/staff to come here. Food: Tasty, but derived. I know we're no where near Nola, but come on. They've turn it into fast food Cajun. Greasy and mild flavor, LOTS of fries to fill you up. We have to eat, but we don't have to eat here. Ambiance: Comfy. Outdoor benches, Five benches inside. Music is Cajun as Cajun can get, good selection. Don't use the bathroom. Service: Dismal. We were made to feel we were imposing, a bother. One of the owners waited on us. Dismissive and inattentive. Insulting attitude. Overall: Sadly, we won't be back. I know, Cajun in the Rockies? Whadda expect. Well, used to be good, inviting and authentic. Perhaps they need to move on. read more

Shrimp po boy was so sad. Small shrimp and not a lot of it. The ratio was so sad. I would avoid this place

Y'all lied! I saw the great reviews and we were excited to try this place. The hush puppies came out burnt. The oil they were fried in appeared to be old. It's so hard to mess up a classic red beans n rice but somehow this place managed to do that. Zero flavor. My son and I ate less than half of our meals. I think this Cajun restaurant has all these Coloradans bamboozled. Lesson learned ! We ordered trio which had jambalaya, chicken and sausage gumbo and red beans and rice. read more

Really good food and an amazing atmosphere. The gumbo and jumbaliah(?) combo was fantastic.

Very cute place, and had I based this review on the beignets alone, I'd give 5 stars and mention that they rival the best of the best in New Orleans. The gumbo did not. I would not have bothered to write a review but it's not ok to advertise something as "seafood" gumbo, getting customers expectations in place, and then offer a gumbo that contains very little, if any, visible seafood. I mention "very little" to be generous, but if it was there, I could not locate it. And for 9.00 a cup, leaving the false advertising out of it, one expects to get what one orders (or would not order otherwise). Secondarily, it's very awkward to have someone at the door, ready to take to go orders, who presents a customer with a bill and then points out that, after the customer signs the bill and elects not to leave a tip, that the tip section was left blank. Having this brought to my attention is awkward at best and not appreciated. Nevertheless, I did tip, because my East Coast upbringing has made me cynical about what happens to one's food when one does not act accordingly /otherwise complains. Again, not OK. As an aside, I tend to tip generously when dining in. I typically don't tip when placing an order to go. If there is something unique about Colorado that I'm unaware of when it comes to how restaurant employees are paid, please ignore the above as I am just passing through. read more

The beignets here are the best we have ever tried! They are huge, fluffy, and just right! If debating on chocolate or honey for the sauce, go with the chocolate! Also the little French bread slices that goes with the gumbos was so divine! Wish they gave more of it though! read more

'Nawlins, Mud Bugs, Cray fish, Mulates, Zydeco Recently, we discovered the Lost Cajun in Frico, and I suggested to the owner that he might consider Breckenridge, Vail, Avon, or Edwards. Today there is an honest 'Nawlins restaurant (The Lost Cajun) in Frisco, Breckenridge, and Edwards. In our view, the Frisco Lost Cajun is just too small, and the owner should lease a larger property. The Breckenridge Lost Cajun is difficult to find because it is on the lower lever of an older mall, whose upper tenants have left or moved. Now if one is approaching from the Blue River path, your nose will lead you to the Lost Cajun. The third location is in Edwards, directly across the street from the Gore Range Brewery. The Edwards location seems to be doing great business, and requires outdoor seating. We like the Edwards location. It almost as if one is in Mulates in 'Nawlins. All tables are presented with a complimentary sample of seven 'Nawlins dishes. We both choose the Crayfish Etouffee! I keep telling the owner that Crayfish Etouffee! Is spelled with a Y and not a W. The Edwards location looks like a 'Nawlins restaurant, and almost sounds 'Nawlins. Gotta add a lot more Zydeco to the music, and gotta add three times the Mud Bugs to the Crayfish Etouffee! The owner is doing all the serving, busing, and instructing the young "cook." We guess the owner loses ten pounds a day; and we hope that The Lost Cajun becomes a modern day gold mine. The fare is appropriate for the tariff. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in here out of the blew after a day on the mountains, the food and service was amazing! We had the Voodoo pasta and Creole and they both were fantastic along with the beignets and Cajun fries. Brandy was our server and she was fantastic with recommendations and providing southern hospitality, made it seem like you were eating in the NOLA! Definitely will be back and telling all of friends. If you go definitely get the creole! read more

The Lost Cajun - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

We had eaten here several times over the last couple years and always been blown away at how good the food was. On our way up to Steamboat Springs yesterday we went out of our way to have lunch there. We ordered an appetizer of boudin balls and two shrimp poboys. I've never been more disappointed in a meal. The boudin balls were mostly breading and greasy. The shrimp on the poboy was the toughest I've ever eaten and the sauce was terrible. When the server asked how it was I couldn't make myself say it was good. I responded, "it's different; I've never had a poboy with pickle relish on it." She said, "oh it's home made tartar sauce." The only addition to that meal was two cans of soda and the final bill was over $75.00 without tip! I don't know what's changed but I know the previous people would not have served the food we received. Given the horrible food in combination with the inflated prices, we won't be stopping in again to try something different. Really bummed that the Lost Cajun has Lost Appeal for us. :( read more

The Lost Cajun - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

Friends raved about the Lost Cajun and I can see why. This is good ole Southern comfort food and a good eating option after a day of skiing. The Cajun combo was perfectly fried catfish and shrimp in healthy portions. They were out of scallops on the night I visited, so they doubled up on the other stuff. Perfectly fried okra and hushpuppies for appetizer. Everything was served piping hot, right out of the kitchen. Filing and delicious. Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to have a good, enjoyable meal. Not much ambience. Just plain tables, paper napkins, drink your soda or beer out of the bottle, but we did come here for the affordable, well prepared food. Street parking. No problem on a weeknight. read more
