This is the actual name of this establishment not just what they serve very well. This is a food truck/trailer behind the Mighty Fine Burger food trailer on 620 on your right immediately after you cross light at 2222 (4 Points) heading toward Mansfield Dam. They have been open a couple weeks but WOW are they doing some great Cajun basics right. We had the Shrimp Po-Boy and Cajun Crab Burger. Both with their proprietary slaw and Cajun spiced fries. The rolls they use are fresh and soft and huge. Shrimp was perfectly fried with a great Aioli. My wife had crab burger and raves about the flavor. We had beignets and a beer inside of Rock House which is adjacent to the eatery. You are able to sit anywhere there to escape the heat and get a cold beer or wine. Great first outing at New Orleans eatery and Katherine who owns the place is super pleasant and accommodating! We may not have “Gumbos” any longer in Austin but give this place a try for a nice Cajun change of pace.

North Of The Bayou – Menu with Prices – 802 Atlas Ave, Madison

I really want to like this place. I genuinely love cajun food and it’s right by my house. The atmosphere is interesting. It’s a huge pink building visible from the highway. Inside it’s part medival castle, part quinceanera. It was originally a supper club, then a night club, then a Mexican restaurant, and you can still see the iterations of all previous establishments. I’d be very curious to see what it looked like circa 1985 or 1990. It’s a very interesting building with 5 stories and multiple dining rooms. They have many cajun/creole staples and a few odd midwesternized versions. My friend and I decided to try the shrimp po boy, seafood gumbo, red beans and rice, and beignets. Everything was right in theory but in practice, it reminded me as if Applebees or Denny’s had added cajun items to their menu. Everything seemed bland and reheated. The breading would not stay on the shrimp, the roll was the wrong consistency for a poboy, and it had pickles added that were not the right flavor (poboys do often come with pickles). The gumbo and RBR had the texture of canned soup and badly needed hot sauce. The beignets were ok (how do you mess up fried dough?) but heavy, and not light and fluffy at all. If they make any significant changes I might return, otherwise, I think I’ll stick to New Orleans Takeout despite their limited parking.

Louisiana Crab Shack Menu with Prices 3208 Guadalupe St, Austin

My wife was reluctant to go check out the Louisiana Crab Shack. Always listen to your lovely wife. * * * At a Cajun seafood place, you care primarily about the steamed seafood in a bag with cajun spices and the fried seafood. I am on a health kick, so I had my fried shrimp on top of a salad. I also had gumbo to check for Louisiana bona fides. The love of my life had salmon with a cajun topping. * * * Poetic justice ruled. My wife had the best dish of the three. Her salmon was good on its own and had a savory not-at-all spicy sauce on top heavy on onions and cooked down vegetables. She gave a big thumbs up. I did not do as well. The gumbo was okay. The fried shrimp on my salad began to leave a bad taste in my mouth after about the sixth shrimp. The bad taste persisted for about fifteen minutes after we left the restaurant. The shrimp themselves were normal. No thrills there but no problems either. I think there was something not great involved in the frying. * * * The seafood in a bag may be wonderful. I can’t say. But I get a lot of cajun seafood in College Station. In those places, the bag food is marvelous and so is the frying. This place may settle down over time. I reviewed it when they were only four weeks old. The new waiter was struggling with the computer used for the orders. A new cook may have been struggling with the fryer. * * * I doubt however, I will be going back soon. I will be eating in all the places my wife wants to eat For about the next five hundred years.

Favors and Flavors Menu with Prices 11775 Northfall Ln STE 103, Alpharetta

Hailing from the state of Florida and a new resident of Georgia, I have been jaded by the Georgia restaurants claiming to have ‘cajun’ inspired seafood. Unlike any of the other establishments that I have tried in the area, this restaurant was hands down the most authentic to cajun cuisine. We ordered 2 crab boils, bowl of gumbo, bowl of red beans and rice as well as the chicken wings and fries. For $17.95, the crab boils included 3 clusters of snow crab legs, 6 shrimp, 2 sausage, corn, potatoes and a world of flavor. The gumbo was incredible and probably the best I have EVER had coming out of a restaurant. It’s spice and flavor was appropriately accommodating to the rice. Not only was the food delicious but the culture of the restaurant with the friendly staff made the visit memorable. I would definitely recommend and visit when I get the cajun seafood itch!!

Jekyll & Hyde?s Gastropub – Menu with Prices – 8 E 10th St, Erie

My dad brother and I tried jekyll and hydes this past weekend for a change of the usual places. My brother and I love to try different craft beers and they have 46 differnt beers on draft so that was great. Next the food. We started with the mushrooms and meat and cheese board since apps and draft beers wer $2 off. They were both really good. The meat to bread ratio was really good. My dad and brother had the turkey club. The sandwiches were huge. The only disappointment i heard was my brothers “cajun” fries were just regular fries with a bunch of cajun seasoning dumped on them. I really wanted to try their “impossible” vegan burger. I myself am not vegetarian but my wife and I have cut a lot of red meat out of our diet so every once in a while like to try something different and supposedly this burger is really good. I settled for the black bean burger and a side salad which was really good. The burger was cooked well and had good flavor. My son was also there. He had a side of mac n cheese which he liked a lot. We had to keep it away from grandpa who kept eating. Great experience. We will be back for sure!

Wrightsville Beach Brewery – Menu with Prices – 6201 Oleander Dr, Wilmington

We used Wrightsville Beach Brewery’s Barrel Room to host our wedding rehearsal Brunch & Brew and holy cow did they deliver!! Let me first say how affordable hosting an event here was and I was blown away by the food and set up. Sara was a dream to work with and she was extremely patient with me despite my millions of questions. The space was beautiful and they even supplied a bartender, wine, canned beer, and a few beers on tap. Now the food. Wow! We selected the bruschetta, shrimp & crab dip, hamburger sliders, fruit & cheese plate, chicken Caesar wraps, and added the bacon-wrapped Cajun shrimp. All of which were absolutely delicious and plentiful. Our guests raved about how delicious it was, particularly the shrimp & crab dip. I would highly recommend hosting an event here! Absolutely amazing!

Snow & Crab – Menu with Prices – 32965 Temecula Pkwy #100, Temecula

My boyfriend and I came to eat here this past Saturday around dinner time and expected it to be very packed- it wasn’t. (We LOVE Boiling Crab, and have been looking for something similar around our area and found this restaurant) We enter and wait for someone. There wasn’t that many people working. A lady who works there approaches us, she wasn’t kind or friendly. She simply asks us “For two?”, turns around, and expected us to follow her. We followed her and she sat us and left us at the table. She seemed annoyed and very uninterested in us or being friendly. We ordered a pound and a half of shrimp and Cajun- styled fries. The shrimp was not even at least mediocre. It had no flavor and it was lukewarm when we got it. The fries were tasteless. It just felt like we were biting into cooked potatoes. To score the food and service at a scale of 1-10 Shrimp: 1 Fries- 1 Service: 2 Not coming here again. The lady was not welcoming and the food was tasteless. Back to searching for a better place with Cajun shrimp.

Krab Kingz 7 – Menu with Prices – 102 N McKinney St, Richardson

I have giving so many place in the Dallas area a chance in regards to really good Cajun seafood with no success. I had heard and read mixed reviews in regards to Krab Kings but decided to give them try myself plus they are located about 5-10 minutes from my office. I came in around 11:40 am during their lunch hours. They are located off Main Street in Richardson & very easy to pass if your not paying attention. Upon entering I was worried about the whole “their ac doesn’t work” people have complained about but it was actually quite cool. There were a lot of fans blowing so not really sure if they have central air at all or if its still broken either way they are trying. I decided to order their K&S (Krab & Shrimp Tray $15) just to get a feel for their food quality & portion size of crab clusters. The staff suggested getting the Cajun flavor as it’s their most popular flavor. Now what I didn’t know is that they charge $1 extra for “Cajun Butter”, so does that mean they charge a $1 for every flavor? — I hope not cause I could’ve did without the butter, parsley flakes & paprika. Their Cajun flavor is nothing spectacular IMO, I prefer a lot of spice & something to make my taste buds go crazy especially if your calling it “Cajun”. I probably would’ve been better off getting lemon pepper or no flavor at all. Now for the portion size, it was definitely enough but the crab cluster could’ve been bigger, which may be why they put in a bit more legs. I want you to barely be able to close my box but instead they just broke the legs off for them to fit in the box. I didn’t mind the generous amount of plump shrimp and potatoes. I seen a previous customer complained about “too many potatoes”, uhm I would’ve been upset if it didn’t cover the whole bottom but to each their own you cant satisfy everyone. I did use the 15% off Yelp check-in which the staff seemed to be completely unaware of. I cannot stress how important it is for business owners to be transparent with their staff & inform them about things that could come up. In the event he would’ve said no I can’t do that I would’ve walked out. Overall, for my first visit it was decent but the lack of flavor really knocked a star off for me. The customer service was amazing & the wait time was short. Will I return? It’s possible but I won’t be breaking my neck to do so.

Nik’s Steak & Seafood Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 2129 Farm to Market 2920 #250, Spring

We came today to eat and it was packed full. Food must be good if there’s a lot of customers right? There was 1 waiter who had to cover all tables, the venue is small. But I thought that was a little unfair. We ordered the Cajun shrimp and onion ring appetizer. Cajun shrimp was doused in hot sauce and some Cajun season sprinkled on top. This was very disappointing. Who ever created that menu item should take it off. I was very disappointed when it came out. Presentation sucked and it was no where near what you’d expect. Onion rings were 5 stars this is the first place that had genuine taste, texture, and crunch of a true onion ring. Pork chop and side salad, the pork chop was delicious! I don’t know how they cooked it but I loved it. The side salad was pretty good for a regular house salad. Probably cause they add onions. I do love some onions. Hamburger and fries, the burger was seasoned and pretty tasty. We will be back to give it another try ?

Grad School – Menu with Prices – 1744 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City

High quality food, cool old school vibe on the inside, what’s not to love? After stopping at Boulevard for a beer the family decided on burgers for dinner, searched for what was around us and saw this place popped up. Knowing it was new we didn’t know what to expect, especially since we had kids in tow. After finding some on street parking (not sure if they have a parking lot), we stepped inside and were treated to a wonderful old school decor and vibe. Lots of booths throughout the restaurant with a few booths and bar seating as well. We grabbed a booth by the window and had a fantastic view of the Kauffman and downtown. Our server was great, he thoroughly explained the menu to us and told us that they indeed had a kids menu even though it wasn’t printed on the regular menu. We chose a beer from their expansive list and ordered food. I had the full ride burger, my kids split a kids cheeseburger and fries, and my wife had a dozen wings, 6 house sauce and 6 of their house/sweet and spicy mix. The burger was one of the best burgers I’ve had in the city, they were 2 thinner patties that were extremely juicy and had just the right amount of grease on the outside for extra flavor, it only took me like 3 minutes to scarf down the whole thing. My kids loved their burger as well and the wings were delicious as well. The only small complaints I would have on the food would be on the wings to have more sauce, they had enough for good flavor, but left you wanting just a bit more sauce. And the spice level on the burger, all their food normally comes with 0 spice, but they gave the option of 1 Star to 5 Star spice level, who the waiter assured me was deathly spicy since they use ghost pepper powder while making it. Naturally enjoying spicy food, I got my burger a 5 star, I would rate the spice level more of a 4-5 out of 10. Although the sauce had great flavor, it just wasn’t that spicy, I ordered a side of it to eat with my fries instead of ketchup. Overall our meal was great and we plan to come back since there was so much more on the menu that really looked good to us. They also had a pretty large beer list that I would like to try as well.

Air Host Inc – Menu with Prices – 2077 Airport Dr #7, Green Bay

The guy behind the bar with the sailor hat on has the personality of a rock… and if you’re going to charge 20.00 for a burger and a beer you need to make the burger worth the money.

Tacos Manuel – Menu with Prices – Mabury St, Santa Ana

Otherwise known as the taco trailer. Yep. that’s right, it’s just a trailer parked on the street, but they make some great tacos. My kid loves them. My wife thinks they’re pretty great. Me too. If you get all three of us to agree on something, you have a winner. Street tacos are $1.50 each. I usually get three or four to fill me up. They come with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno if you want one. Onions and cilantro on top with a bunch of different salsas available. I highly recommend the chicken. I know chicken is kind of boring, but Tacos Manuel has some sort of secret to kick up the flavor several notches. Carnitas are only available on Saturday and Sunday, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their meats. There are no tables, so you have to either stand or sit on the grass if you want to eat by the trailer. Order to go and they will wrap them up nicely for you. Service is polite but not very fast. Highly recommended for a cheap and satisfying meal.

Wharf Casual Seafood Mahan – Menu with Prices – 4036 Lagniappe Way Ste. #3, Tallahassee

I called him not to go order at this restaurant about a half hour before closing. I ordered a side dish of fried shrimp, shrimp dinner, and a wharf Burger. The shrimp taste like it was in Greece that needed to be changed. it was also all different textures and colors as if it had been placed into separate baskets and not timed. Little did I know that the wharf Burger had shrimp on top of it. I called this in and was Tony was a good burger but did not know that they had shrimp on top of that. I would not have definitely ordered this had I known. I’m allergic to seafood and my wife isn’t who ordered the shrimp. it was very slow waiting for the food to come up they close that 8:30 I was in there at 8 and didn’t get my food until about 5 minutes till closing. I definitely will not return to this wharf, however other ones that I’ve been to have been very good.
