• A definate must do! I would say more of a grandma in the kitchen throw it on the plate atmosphere with great local music and dancers to watch! If you want dessert... their bread pudding is absolutely the best (while a bit different than most) other desserts? Skip they're trucked in! Rustic Warehouse setting and fabulous service... Maybe Emeril could get a few pointers here!!! :)

• Cajun Warehouse dining. Really good cajun fare. Desserts are mouthwatering. Music starts late but worth the wait. The costs seem a little high.

• Every time we travel South, we drive out of our way to visit Mulate's. The food is wonderfully Cajun. I love the Mushroom Smothered Hamburger Steak and my husband always has the spicy Duck. The live bands are awesome and there is a small dance floor that is always full.

• a little overpriced for what you get but nice location and tasty bites

  by Jason S.

  
  

• I really wanted to like this place, great open setup, live music. But the food was beyond bland. At over $70 for 2 beers, an app, and 2 bowls of gumbo it just isn't worth it.

  by PattiB

  
  

• Go here with your mom if you just moved to town like 6 hours ago.

  by Matt R.

  
  

• Not worth it at all. $22 for a barely mediocre shrimp po-boy and $7 for a cup of bland gumbo. Waste of money and time in a fantastic culinary city.

  by Brian S.

  
  

• The étouffée and gumbo are delicious. A must have no doubt.

  by Olivia S.

  by Nancy R.

  
  

• Food is way overpriced, and not very good. Our meal was cold when it came out. Very disappointing. I'll stick to my own gumbo from now on.

  by Ed C.

• Great Cajun gumbo !

  by Terry W.

  
  

• Cajun sampler appetizer! $50.00 split between myself and 2 other people as our meal and it was worth every penny!!

  by Ali

  
  

• Very expensive. So very filling. Yummy but I feel bad for my parents. Expensive and I couldn't finish half of my meal! Music is too loud I might mention. BUT yummy like I said. Idk if its worth it.

  by Braeden W.

  by ian e.

  
  

• Amazing food, worth the price.

  by Ethan W.

  by Lexi L.

  
  

• The service from our waitress Stephanie was terrible, she never failed to be rude. Loved the food and music, but her offensive behavior was enough to ensure my friends and I will never return.

  by Katie C.

  
  

• Great location, huge drinks but my muffaletta was greasy and if you don't like cheese its tough luck. They are premade and won't accomoadate your allergies. Super expensive for what it is.

  by Clare P.

• Pretty pricey but very very delicious if you're in the mood for real Cajun cuisine

  by Steven P.

  
  

• Skip the shrimp gumbo. It's incredibly fishy. If you like spicy, go for the Zydeco gumbo. If not, shrimp etouffe and the red beans and rice are safe bets and both are hearty and delish. MmmmmMmmmmmmm.

  by Anna C.

  
  

• Try the Zydeco Gumbo

  by Venson E

• good food great sweet tea

  by Chris W.

  
  

• The food is great! The service-Not so much! Would have liked to receive the appetizers BEFORE the main course rather than with it, and the Female crabcakes are much smaller than the male crabcakes.
