Gumbo was delicious. Crawfish was amazing. My husband made me throw mines away and I have been mad at that since. ? I really want to call up and have them overnight more. Very nice people. I was the only person of color and I was welcomed.

This place is a dump. The floors are rotten the ceiling is falling in. We ordered two steaks medium rare they were well done. Just all around a bad experience. Will never be back. Definitely not what it used to be. AND THE CRAWFISH SUCKED.

Location: about five minutes from the interstate. nothing surrounds it. Looks like two double-wides put together attached to a small house. Do NOT judge the food based on appearance. Or do, because you'd except momma's cooking from here.Food:I ordered the Cajun express. Essentially a sampler of catfish, shrimp, boiled and fried crawfish, red beans and rice, effoute, momma's pie, hush puppies, and jumbo. It was a great sampler plate since I live eight hours away. Heavy on the cajun seasoning, it was fresh, hot, and a hell of an experience. I loved what I ordered and could easily feed two people.husband ordered the ribeye + potato. He doesn't eat seafood and this was about the only option available to him besides a pork ribeye. The meat quality, seasoning, and taste were decent. 1/3 of the steak was fat, expected for a ribeye.We purchased a piece of strawberry cake to go; delightful! We were too full to eat it there.Atmosphere: think of the family reunion. This is a mom and pop run restaurant; everyone was kind, attentive, professional, and fun.Service: they were SLAMMED. we spent about 45 minutes waiting to order at the table, and an additional 30 minutes on our food. Be patient with them. The experience is grand but they are only open Saturday and Sunday, and everyone comes to EAT. While we waited for our food they gave us gumbo to try. We were asked if we wanted refills about 20+ times, no exaggeration. You won't leave thirsty or hungry.I can't wait to take my family here some day. It's a hole-in-the-wall joint built around quality food and a comforting atmosphere.Cleanliness: this place needs a deep clean, but you don't come here for that. Again, you come to EAT.
Kid-friendliness: Kids were at nearly every table.
Parking: About 40 vehicles could park here. Get there earlier than later because they were flooded with people!
Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp into the main entrance.

The owners here are very kind and generous and the food is phenomenal! I am a truck driver and I was driving a brand new school bus to deliver from factory in NC to customer in CA. I broke down in their parking lot and they were so kind and invited me inside and gave me a delicious meal for free! I had their fried catfish, fried shrimp and hush puppies. The food was so flavorful and the fish was so tender it just melts in your mouth! If you ever have the opportunity to visit and eat here you will not be disappointed! Thank you again for feeding me and allowing me a safe place to wait for a tow truck!

Tonight my wife Michelle and I tried Cajun Express for the first time. The gumbo was excellent! We had for our appetizers cheesy crawfish bread and crawfish pie. Two great choices. We ordered the ribeye steaks cooked medium, with baked potato and salad. I had shrimp with mine. The cook Will redefined in my opinion how a steak should be cooked. It was very tender and well seasoned. I could not even finish mine (a first). My wife had for dessert a dish with chocolate cake, ice cream, caramel and chocolate syrup on top. . It was decadent. The coffee I had was very good. A perfect finish to a perfect meal. The servers were very attentive and very professional. I strongly recommend this place and giving it 5 stars does not give this place justice.
Parking: There is plenty of parking and wheelchair and walker accessible.
My first time going to this place and I got the chicken tenders with fries and the tenders tasted good but the fries and the food itself smelled like it’s was cooked in old oil. I won’t be eating from here again…
