Cajun Restaurants in Portland, OR

“This is one of the most delicious places I’ve ever been to!!“

“First time here. Everything was delicious! But especially the downtown shrimp and grits. I can't wait to come back and try the uptown version. Our server was wonderful and the entire experience was *chef's kiss *! We live an hour and a half away, but I will make the special trip to come back. What a gem!“

“This is one of the most delicious places I’ve ever been to!!“

“I loved every bite of the nacho buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. The food wasn’t greasy and the texture the Mac and cheese was amazing. Jose provided excellent customer service and made an amazing plate of food. I plan on stopping by more often and would recommend this place to anyone.“

“We LOVE this place! The oysters are fresh, the clams are flavorful and everything in between has been great! The staff is knowledgeable about where the oysters come from and what to expect on your flavor pallet. Service is quick and when they are busy, they set proper expectations. The space is rustic but really cool, especially walking off of a city street, it's definitely not what you expect!! We have gone as far as eating here twice in one day!“

“delicious five stars I buy every time I see them open the lobster Mac and cheese us my favorite everything is delicious“

“We ordered delivery this morning! Shrimp and grits were outstanding, a side of oysters cooked to perfection! Fried chicken and biscuits and gravy, best ever I heard!“

“We had a great time meeting up with old friends at this prototypical portal of Portlandia!! Wonderful time eating and drinking, swapping lies and near truths in the best Nawlins traditions. We heartily recommend this joint!! We will be back!!“

“I'm a few months late writing this review, so it looks like this particular location which was in a cluster of food carts has closed down since. There were some outdoors and indoors tables/benches there if you want to eat at the location.I ordered a gumbo regular with red beans, veg andouille (seemed to be made of baked beans), and Brandon's Nana Pudd'n (banana pudding). I was given an estimate of 5-10 minutes wait but it turned out to be closer to 30, but it seemed like one person was having to take orders and cook at the same time for most of the time before an additional worker showed up and there were some other people ordering around the same time as me since we were all on our lunch break from a conference.Unfortunately, while the food portion was generous for just $10, I found the gumbo to be too salty. I liked the vegetarian andouille, though; the texture actually did taste pretty meat-like, but I think the workers said it was made out of baked beans.The banana pudding was also a very generous portion, and I would recommend it if you have a sweet tooth and like whipped cream and nilla wafers.“

“The best food in Portland! Truly authentic and amazing customer service!“

“We love Matt & Memere's! Flavors are authentic and delicious! Today it was the highlight of my day!“

“Montebello location is very delicious and friendly staff!!“

“First and foremost the food was BEYOND DELICIOUS and the service was perfect. Not to mention they have vegetarian options which is really appreciated! Our waitress was helpful, kind, and attentive even though it was busy. You have to try their risotto!!!!“

“Outstanding food! The cook is wonderful and helpful about what is gluten free! The portion sizes are very large but you will not want your stop eating them!We were certain we wanted to come here after the ear piercing. So, we had called the night before and found out most of their food is gluten free except the gumbo. My husband is gluten free so I had the Trinity gumbo. He had the red beans and rice. Hands down some of the best we have had! I would recommend to anyone looking for Cajun in PDX. My husband was told about this spot from a coworker and we looked it up. We love Cajun food, so it was a must try. We would go back in a heartbeat.If you have a good allergy, call them and they know all of their ingredients/spices well to aide you. I can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Very well knowledgeable on the ingredients and allergies associated with their foods. Would recommend to anyone with allergy restrictions to call and ask. They are awesome and hope you can enjoy it!“

“We stopped by for a late dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant was quiet and there were a few parties still eating. The servers were courteous throughout our visit.And the food- the food was phenominal. We each had the Combo #2 (shrimp and crawfish). The portion size was generous and the flavors were decadent. I had the medium cajun sauce and the spice was a little tingly, so beware if you're not used to spice and go for hot or higher; they don't mess around with their spices. Another member in our party tried the mild garlic butter and when I tried it, it was equally as delicious.Would go again.“

“Food is always amazing. For the price there's a lot of great food. love their specials and friendly staff.“

“Everything was so good. My first time trying and I will be back! I’m a chef myself and I was very impressed! Good quantity. They even stayed open later just so I could pick up my order! If that’s not good customer service I don’t know what is ! I will for sure be back this is my new seafood spot!!!“
