Staff was incredibly family and made us feel like we were at home. Food was delicious so we will definitely be coming back! The shrimp po boy was filling and the jambalaya was tasty!

This place would get 5 stars if they communicated better or were faster. We waited forever just for our water. Over an hour for the food to arrive and there was no communication. When the food arrived, however, it was worth it! If you don’t have to be anywhere for a while and have time, I’d recommend them. The people were friendly. They need to have music and more lighting though. That would add to the vibe. I got the Etouffee with shrimp and it was SO GOOD!!

Ok this is a two part review.My wife and I were really, really wanting to eat some good, authentic Cajun food.We got there at about 6:05pm Saturday evening.We asked for some water. We were kind of looking around, the place was pretty deserted, it was my wife, me and three other couples in an about 950 sq ft place. There was no ambiance, no music, no lighting, just a big room, quiet, awkward.I thought it was odd. Our server, a young lady, was very nice, very soft spoken. I noticed it was just her and the cook working that day. On a Saturday night? I started to get concerned.The water came at about 25 minutes later. I started to think this was a huge mistake. We ordered our meal, my wife ordered and Étouffée and I ordered the Jolie Blon, both of us with a salad. We asked our waitress to please bring our salads first. Our salads came at around the 30 minute mark. We were starving, still smiling and hoping at least our food is good.Salad was fine, it was a salad you would get anywhere else.No one ever came in after us. They were not busy. It was still us and three other couples.At around 45 minutes after ordering, we got our food. After 7pm I noticed that the lighting changed and the music started to play, maybe is in a timer???I was really really hoping the wait was worthwhile.And it was!!!!My meal the Jolie Blon, was SOOOO delicious!!! Every bite had an immense amount of flavor! I closed my eyes to be able to take it all in. It was so delightful!!!My wife’s étouffée was also great! It tasted so good and authentic.The cook was ON POINT! He knows what’s he’s doing!So I’m telling you, if you want authentic delicious Cajun food? COME HERE!!!BUUUUT!!!!If you’re starving and cannot wait for your meal? You will have a bad time waiting. So come here knowing that you will wait for a very long time, but you will get amazing and delicious Cajun food.If I could review the food alone? I would give it the highest amount of stars I could. But because it’s a combined review I can only give it 4, but I would rate 5 star for food, 2 star for everything else.

The atmosphere is very southern. Great hospitality, clean tables, I LOVE THE HOTSAUCE SELECTION, and the food was great! We shared some fried green tomatoes & fried pickles. I had a catfish po boy with hush puppies & my husband had their jumbalaya with shrimp. He also ordered some cheese fries on the side. I would give my food [po'boy & puppies] a 4 out of 5. My food was delicious and Hot, but the hush puppies needed some work. They were just a little too breadlike and needed more flavor. My husband gave his meal [jumbalaya,shrimp & cheese fries] a 4.5 out of 5 because he did need to add some tony chasier to his meal and hot sauce. Also the cheese on his cheese fries was not fully melted. Though very tasty with out the melty pull. I would definitely go back again. I do recommend this spot if you are looking for some cajun flair. The people are nice and it's always good to support a local business. Enjoy your plate y'all!

The server was friendly and welcoming Keisha started our evening on a great note! Why more people haven't discovered this yet I don't know. Way better than Voodoo daddy. Catfish was lighter and tastier than Angry Crab. I strongly recommend you try it, you will not be disappointed. Gator bites were very tender and delicious, they were perfect! Okra had good seasoning and light breading. Asking where the gator came from she said Louisiana! Amazing!!

Date night with my husband George. I must say this was delicious! I had fried catfish with red beans and rice, as well as a sweet tea. My husband had alligator with fried okra. flavors of louisiana on Kyrene and Elliot 315 W Elliot Rd, Tempe, AZ 85284...the catfish was light and tasty served with hot sauce and tartar sauce.

Overall the name set me up for a bang of flavors see our feedback for each order with our rating on a scale of 1-10, 10 being bomb AFMom - Cajun chicken salad (5/10) lacked flavor and seasoning; Coleslaw (1/10) super sour missing salt pepper sugar and summmm; fried green tomato's (10/10) first time trying fried green tomato's and was a hit for the kids tooSon 12yrs - Shrimp Po Boy (7/10) "the flavor, overall not enough flavor" whatever that means ? he ate most of it fairly quicklyDaughter 4yrs - Chicken fingers (?/10) - she only ate the fries (10/10 IN UNISON) and a piece of a piece of chickenConsistent feedback is lacking FLAVORS

This is our new FAVORITE place to eat! It is a low key, casual, family oriented restaurant. The food is so awesome! I loved the catfish!!! The alligator is great too! I can’t wait to come back. This place is so worth the trip for awesome food with awesome flavors!!! 10 stars if I could.

My family and I were very pleased with our meals. I do admit that service was a bit slower than usual, but given the times we are in, we understood.All of the fried items were seasoned well, fried well (not soggy or burnt!), nice crispiness and overall delicious! Sweet tea, rice, beans, fries, shrimp (even blackened), chicken, catfish, okra, garlic bread, cajun roll, beignets and sauces were great!! No complaints about customer service, very friendly.Would give 4.5 stars if it'd allow me!
The food was unbelievably delicious, great service and very friendly staff. Restaurant is very clean and will definitely be returning.

Food was excellent and authentic. I’ve spent a lot of time eating in Lousiana, nice to experience it’s authentic flavor in AZ. I had the Jolie Bolin. Perfect.

While I would love to say the experience was great, it wasn't. They need more help (both servers & cooks) and they need to change their oil in their fryer. They ran out of green tomatoes, which was the main reason for me going there, and instead of coming to me and saying "I'm sorry we're currently out of our fried green tomatoes...can we substitute something else for you this afternoon?" They just gave me fried pickles. I hate fried pickles. I saw one potential customer leave due to not being helped and I don't blame him. It took me a while to be helped and then over 20 minutes to get basic appetizers (that were wrong). My advise...give this place a few months to get its act together and maybe give it a try...right now, I REALLY can't recommend it.

Good place, and always good to have Louisiana food options. Kesha was a good employee there that provided top notch service. (Sorry of mispelled name).
