They do have seating available, but it feels more like a place where most people order their food and take it home. The parking lot is a little tight, but the food made up for it. I ordered the shrimp and fish basket, along with cabbage and mac & cheese for my sides. The cabbage was cooked well, and the mac & cheese was decent. The seafood was good, and overall the meal was worth the wait. One thing I enjoyed was their homemade lemonade. They also have plenty of menu options and daily specials depending on the day of the week, so there's a good chance you'll find something that fits what you're craving. Overall, it was a good experience. If you're in the Raleigh area and looking for some good seafood and soul food, I'd recommend giving this place a try. At the very least, it's worth checking off your list and seeing what all the buzz is about.

Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Walking into the restaurant felt like stepping into New Orleans. The atmosphere is beautiful and full of character, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because a dog was allowed to walk through the restaurant to access the outdoor seating area. While I understand restaurants have different policies, I personally wasn't comfortable with that. Overall, though, the food and service were both excellent, and I'd definitely return.

We went with the Cajun wings and a seafood boil with king crab legs, shrimp, boiled eggs, potatoes, and corn. You can choose between different marinades and spice levels. We went with garlic butter and mild spice. I really wanted to try the shrimp fried rice but it was no longer available, I assume due to being sold out. Next time! Upon delivery, the food arrived very hot and smelled delicious. They ensure it's packaged so a leak doesn't occur. The wings were super crispy, flavorful, and delicious. The boil was a huge portion, truly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You never know what you're going to get when you order seafood for delivery, but we were thoroughly impressed! The seafood boil and wings could feed two people I'd say. I can't wait to order again and absolutely will be. I will say the only downside is the price, it was about $160 for the boil and wings, but for a special occasion, absolutely worth it. I was debating between four and five stars but it was SO delicious and fresh, that I had to go with five.

I originally wanted to try Cafe Orleans the day I landed in Raleigh, but just a heads-up for anyone…read moretraveling through the area: the app showed they were open on Monday, but they actually weren't. Not a huge deal, but it's something to keep in mind if you're not local and are relying on online hours. I did make it back before leaving town, and I'm glad I did because the food did not disappoint. It looks like there are a few businesses operating within the same space. I ended up trying one of the cookies from another vendor there, and it was pretty good. As for drinks, they have a self-service vending setup where you use your card, a door opens, and you grab your drink. Different concept, but it worked. For my meal, I ordered the shrimp and grits along with the dirty rice, which was recommended to me. The dirty rice was very good and packed with flavor. The shrimp and grits were also well-seasoned, and the creamy sauce brought everything together nicely. My only feedback would be regarding the shrimp-to-grits ratio. The bowl of grits was huge, and while the shrimp were good, I found myself with a lot of grits left over. I actually ended up finding some grilled chicken later just so I could finish the rest of them. If they added a few more shrimp--or simply let customers know how many come in the bowl beforehand--I think it would make an already good dish even better. Overall, the food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and I enjoyed the experience. They also offer daily specials, so it's worth checking what they're featuring before you stop by. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other menu items the next time I'm in Raleigh.

I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, Cajun Salmon wrap, Mac/chz, Dirty Rice and an order of Beignets!!! Everything was ok, my favs were the dirty rice and the Beignets!!! They are smaller than what I'm used to but delicious nonetheless. So much so I ordered more before we left lol. My son ordered the Shrimp Po'boy and said it was alright but wished that the shrimp were fried instead of sautéed. We went on a Saturday and think they only fry chicken & fish on Fridays and Sundays. I think we may return to try other items and indulge in some more of those delicious Beignets!! If in the area, check them out!!

They made suggestions based off questions we had about the menu and told us their favorite dishes. We started off with the burrata and oysters.

The restaurant looks small however they have a second floor, which we did not see as we were seated on the main floor. Noise level is pretty moderate. I would definitely come back.

It feels like you're paying for the ambiance and decor instead of the quality of food but I digress. Our server was helpful with deciding what to order. She also provided the complimentary imitation shrimp chips while we waited for our order to come out. It wasn't bad but not anything like what I grew up eating. We did BBQ pork skewers for appetizers and pad lao - pretty similar to Thailand's pad Thai. Both were really good! They had this ube cocktail and it was very delicious. Happy to find this in NC of all places :) Now the other offender is that they claim to be an "authentic" Asian restaurant and misspelled "banh mi" but then showing "banh" correctly on the menu item not too far from it...

It is a small order counter and looks like cafeteria seating inside. We ordered 4 plates and clam chowder. We all shared and tried everything. Got catfish, cod, bass, shrimp, and flounder. All the fish was great but the cod and catfish are by far a family favorite. Shrimp was amazing. The clam chowder was perfectly seasoned. I am the only fan of hush puppies and I enjoyed them. If you like hush puppies they are made well crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The coleslaw was the only damper on the meal. It tasted like wet cabbage no seasoning. If you've seen any of my other reviews you know I'm a fan of good coleslaw. So this was disappointing to say the least. And like all places I've visited we had the good southern hospitality. The man at the register was super nice and helpful with all the questions my son had. He's nine not super picky but always has questions. So thanks for patience with him.
