I absolutely love this place !! The atmosphere is perfect, even when it's crowded. There are tastes for just about everone, even those who are not into the real hot stuff. Great music too !!

The food is terrific and the staff entertaining. The atmosphere is great for large parties down to an intimate dinner for two. This is definately one of our families favorite spots in the "Queen" City!

Love the jazz! The food is fantastic.
by ChefMoz.org
Great drinks but quality of the food was poor. I don't mind paying a little more for better quality but the prices here were outrageous for a giant plate of rice with bland sauce and frozen meat.
by Leslie
This is the spot for good cajun food.
by LaNita M.
The Bloody Mary martini is my new best friend.

Live music, great crowd, and tasty Cajun food. If you arrive and there's a wait, try the cozy upstairs bar with first come first serve high-tops and outdoor terrace.

Chicken Diane is amazing!! Skip the BBQ Shrimp.
by Ånika G.

by Brooke B.

by Debbie Y.
Bayou Platter was on point
by Kyle R.
If Harrison is working the bar, order a Basil Collins. Perfect summer cocktail!
by Elizabeth
Oreo Cheesecake is a MUST!!!
by Zenny P.
I make it a must DO when in the Queen City!
by Adrienne M.
Crawfish scampi is awesome. They give you so much sauce perfect for the dipping the bread.
by Ayesha E.
The best cajun sauce I've ever had is in the BBQ Shrimp dish. It doesn't taste like BBQ at all but it's so amazingly good!
by Nikki P.
Just be warned beforehand: if you plan on sharing an entree, there is a $5 "split fee" (I feel that's ridiculous) BBQ shrimp app was so-so, creole and key lime pie were delicious
by Kelly F.
What a great night! Great food and great company!
by Charles C.
The etoufee is awesome, be it with chicken, crawfish, or shrimp.
by Christopher H.
Musts: BBQ shrimp and étouffée! Sit upstairs at the bar or in dining room to listen to the band!
by April S.
BBQ shrimp is where it's at...and air upstairs they have a live jazz band so cute
by Mallory G.
Étouffée has a nice kick. Diane is light and flavorful. BBQ Shrimp App + Bread = Heaven. Not a fan of the shrimp and grits. Go upstairs for the live jazz!
by Greg P.
Pork chops!!!!
by keith v.
Best filet I've ever had (Diane style). So tender and moist!
by Ashlyn T.
Everything on the menu is awesome. Especially if you like spice! BBQ shrimp, étouffée, shrimp and grits.. Can't go wrong. Live Nawlin's style jazz plays upstairs as you dine.
by April S.
Shrimp and grits aren't what they used to be. Too bad.
by AUDIOMIND
Delicious! :)
by Jo B.
Try the Shrimp and Grits - AH-mazing! Use the cayenne sauce on the grits. (via @Foodspotting)

Go for the gumbo
by Cathy C.
Shrimp and grits are great
by Amy S.
Great for dates or big groups or take out. One of our favorites for a long time! Music is loud so if you want to talk try for downstairs.
by Brittany's Tips
Best date nights happen here.
by Dianna A.
Crawfish Scampi is awesome! Crawfish tails Sautéed with garlic, white wine, scallions,parsley and a "Bayou Blend" spices.
by Dan O.
Great food, fantastic service, even though there was a big party and it was packed, we felt like the only ones there. We'll definitely return! Make reservations though.
by jules
Worst service we have had in a long time. Food is great but you get better service at Mickey D's :[
by Jim G.
Sit outside on top balcony! Otherwise the food was nothing to brag about.
by Emylie C.
It's obvious their food is cooked over a wood fire. Tasty. Every time I come here the mahi mahi never let's me down. The drinks are strong and the food is delicious. If you want music too go upstairs.
by AUDIOMIND
The New Orleans BBQ Shrimp is to die for! Be sure to get extra bread to sop up all that goodness in the bowl. Live Dixie Land Jazz 7 nights a week too.
by CLTdining
The New Orleans BBQ Shrimp is excellent! The heat will sneak up on you though...
by Angie S.
chicken etouffe is amazing, & large enough to share or have the next day for lunch.
by Lindsay A.
Go to Cajun Queen for down home creole and live jazz!
by Brian H.
Have not visited in many years looking forward to visiting soon.
by Mike N.
Just had their biscuits and gravy. Wow! Whoa! So good. Very original take on the dish. This is a must try. Brunch only.
by Jeff P.
The Bloody Mary mix is house made and awesome. Also. This is the only place this far I have found that makes a Sazerac! It's even on the menu.
