Service was exceptional. The food not so much. I had clam chowder and am revising my review. I got food poisoning and was not very happy for a couple days. The doctor confirmed the chowder was the culprit. The service was exceptional and my wife's meal was just ok for scallops she says she has had much better. So service gets 2 🌟's food zero

I'm sad that we are losing this Little Rock landmark. Fun atmosphere. Beautiful river views. Great seafood!

Pecan and coconut tilapia was delicious! The white cheddar grits are a perfect complement. The bacon wrapped and BBQ shrimp were also super good. It's sad this place is closing June 1st.

This place rocks! Soon as we got to our table, the band started playing "Play that Funky Music" and we danced like crazy! Servers were great, friendly and attentive. The DJ played some cool music too! Food was just delish! ðŸ‘ðŸ‘âââââ

Amazing how they can feed that many people and still be closing! The parking lot was full to overflowing! We had to park by the ballfields! The food was really good and the service wad excellent!

Tuesday evening company dinner for 16. We got a small back room pretty quick. It was cold when first arrived but quickly got hot after we all gathered. The service was great. The waiter suggested the special, so most of us got that. Bacon wrapped first, shrimp, mashed potatoes and squash. My steak was medium well instead of medium. The potatoes were room temperature and stiff. The squash was a big hard chunk. I should have stuck to my original plan of ordering the lobster pasta or shrimp and grits. My coworkers got them and they both looked good. The tequila shots were great!

I just wanted to visit this restaurant before they close their doors on June 1. I don't live in Little Rock anymore. They were pretty busy, then again, it was a typical Friday night. You couldn't tell that they were closing down. Come to find out, a member of their staff informed me that it was because of the building owners going up on the price of the lease. Because the wait time was almost 2 hours long, we decided to visit another food establishment. Needless to say, Little Rock will be losing a great staple to their food scene.

We're from out of state and decided to try this location based on the location and reviews ... We didn't realize it was graduation weekend on top of Mother's Day weekend ... Needless to say there were several large groups at the restaurant on the Saturday night.

Cajun's Wharf is an amazing place to visit. There's the laid back environment of the bar, including live music Thursday through Saturday, and then the more upscale dining experience of the restaurant. Where they serve delicious entrees like lobster tail and crab legs. And you can't beat the view from the deck. I love this place and will be sad to see it go.

Long wait for small servings and average taste. I was in town to visit my family and we ended up here. They were quite happy happy to see me, so that vibe and atmosphere is what I will mostly associate this place.
I haven't been there in a few years.. I have enjoyed my past dining there and listening to the bands. Pretty cool place

Cajun's Wharf has a great location overlooking the River. It is a large place, with several rustic dining rooms, and private dining areas. It has substantially declined over the years. Why anyone would go here for the food is beyond my comprehension. The food is universally tasteless and bland. Baked Salmon was served cool - tasteless. The grilled vegetables were mushy and overcooked - had been sitting for some time before being plated. The grilled chicken was overcooked, hard to chew, and except for the burn marks had almost no flavor. The fried shrimp was ...fried - not much else to say. I doubt it came from the Gulf. Gulf Shrimp tastes better than that. The place is well worn, needs renovation and some maintenance. Servers were doing their job without much enthusiasm or attention to detail. Tried to visit the bar where there was loud music only be turned away by a large bouncer who wanted me to pay a cover charge - Hey, I just ate here and spent $$$ for crap food and I'm not allowed to even visit the bar. I read this place was closing - hopefully sooner than later.

Great food!!! My first time trying oysters and I'm in Love. The grits were cooked to perfection as well. The drink was very tasty, not too sweet & just enough alcohol

I went with a large group (20+) on a Wednesday night. They sat us in a private dinning room which was kind of nice. There were two servers taking care of the group so we were off to a good start. At first I thought the service was slow but it turned out that someone in the group ordered a bunch of appetizers for everyone. The appetizers were served buffet style. There were two large plates with the fried food that included calamari, crab cakes and eggs rolls, a dozen raw oysters, a dozen oysters Rockefeller, around 2 pounds of steamed and seasoned shrimp. I'm not actually sure if they were crab cakes or sea food cakes but they were pretty dry like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. I didn't have a raw oyster but I got to try one of the Rockefeller. It was pretty good. The egg roll and the cake thing were both, ehhh. The calamari was good enough for me to go back for seconds. They didn't take dinner orders until the apps were almost gone so that really stretched the night out. I was torn between the Horseradish Grouper, Seafood Mixed Grill and Boston Casserole so after someone at my table ordered the grouper and someone else ordered the mixed grill, I asked the server what she recommended and she was pretty quick to say the Boston Casserole is one of the most popular items. I went with the recommendation. It was shrimp, crab, lobster and scallop over linguini, tossed in a newburg sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese and baked. It sounded like a good idea but it was average. I'm not sure what I expected from a seafood place in Arkansas but something was off. It could have just been that frozen/thawed taste â€. It tasted okay but then again it was covered in newburg sauce so I'm surprised I could tell it had a frozen taste. I think we got there around 630 and didn't leave until 830 or 9. I know we were a big party but the night seemed to drag on forever. It's not the fault of Cajun Wharf, but the next day I heard that Little Rock's downtown is pretty vibrant. I think my rating might take into account that Cajun Wharf isn't really in the hip part of town. Next time I'm in the area I'll have to do a little more exploring by myself. It was

Cajuns was a really nice place to eat. There is a great view of the river throughout the restaurant. Cajuns is a good place to chill on the weekends cause they play live music.the prices are high on food. A good Entrée is 25-30 dollars. Cajuns is worth the money tho. Cajuns does have a really good drink called the Play Lido. You only need one. If your drink two you might get drunk. The best thing about the drinks is they are cheap. Well the drinks are very affordable. When you have affordable drinks, great food, and a view thanks makes a great spot to chill. They have heaters so you I would most definitely go chill a Cajuns at night or have a date there during the day. Just be warned if your eating better bring at least 75 dollars.
