The owner, ***************************, aka Da Cajun Seafood Shack, aka Chef G, agreed to cater our school fundraising event. He cashed our deposit and never provided the catered meals. Claimed he was in an accident the night of the event and could not deliver food. After a month of contacting him, he still has not refunded our school the money he took.

This place is a joke. Please do not waste your time seriously. The phone number on the website it an IPhone number first of all. I called and instantly I was told “unfortunately we don’t have any gumbo or jambalaya but I can text you the other location’s number and you can call them” so like weird having a business text you but ok lol. I called the number that was sent to me and they swear they couldn’t hear me so I hung up and dialed again, I told them I wanted to get my food delivered since the website advertises free delivery. What they don’t tell you is there is a $50 minimum within a 5 mile radius. The lady on the phone said “okay what would you like to order?” I told her and she instantly stopped me and said “we don’t have any gumbo or jambalaya” what a joke right? Lol. So I asked her what are they selling since they don’t have those two items. The lady proceeds to say they have the seafood boil available and I instantly laughed because correct me if I’m wrong. Isn’t it just Shrimp, sausage, sometimes chicken and rice in both of those dishes? So How do you have the the boil but not those two dishes. Moral of the story don’t waste your time.

This is a small place next to a small parking lot. So I was there on a rainy late Saturday afternoon and got right up to the order window.I had the fish and shrimp combo with cabbage and red beans & rice. The fish was fairly thickly and crunchy-battered cooked just right. The shrimp were quite large for a combo plate... this place isn't cheap, but they have it all down to a Cajun science.Food: 5* (Delicious to an item)Service: 5* (Delivered to my car)Looks like I'll be returning here!

When I pulled up, from the looks of it, definitely not what I expected. But looks can be deceiving!!The girl who took our order was very personable and friendly. The food was delicious. Wish the portion sizes were a tad bigger but overall everything tasted like traditional Cajun style food. Very tasty and not over fried at all. The seafood gumbo was AMAZING!!!

Food was so fresh and so yummy. The hush puppies were my favorite side dish. I got the 3 piece fish and the 4 piece shrimp. Family owned business.

Ordered the Fried Shrimp Po Boy walking back from the gym. It was delicious and tasted fresh. Would definitely come back to try the other items.

This little tiny place was delicious!!! The flavor of my shrimp was just right. I'm a shrimp guy I have tried many Cajun style restaurants and this is definitely in my top two most tastiest that I've ever been too.

Great place for fried fish. Love the flavors, I used the lemon on my Red Snapper and it opened up a refreshing combination of spicy and tart that forced me to continue eating. Red Beans and Rice and Cabbage were my two sides and they brought the heat. The food is well seasoned and isn't overly salty like you find with most fish fry coatings nor is it oily. Good portions make this spot perfect for lunch, dinner, or for snacking. I ordered online just before closing and took it to go. There is out door seating options underneath an awning that would be excellent on a sunny day. The owner is pleasant and ready to take your order.Wheelchair accessibility: Order at the window off the sidewalk, no stairs or doors

This place is horrible and the cook is horrible. They should not be moving to a new location, they should be closing down. I spent $22.05 on some vinegary cabbage, cold straight out of the refrigerator red beans and rice, and red snapper warmed up in a microwave. You can tell from the texture and my food that it was done in 5 mins. Who sells fish with no bread? She wasn’t able to give me a receipt because her point of sells machine was broke. I was so upset I didn’t even want to turn around. She actually took the red beans and rice out of the refrigerator and served it to me! Never again. If she owns the place, she should close it down and if she is employed they should fire her. Waste of money and time. It’s much more better places out there than this.

So good and tasty. As my fiancé said the best tartare Saice he's ever had and homemade. We got Hush puppies, bag of shrimp with corn & potatoes. For seconds since it was so good we got Fried Catfish red beans and string beans absolutely adored. Thank you Delicious this spot is cute n quaint a must if your looking for Louisiana style southern goodness absolutely worth the five star.Pro tip: they don't serve alcoholic beverages so bring your own.

Food doesn't taste authentic at all, I was watching the guy make my crawfish and he kept picking up the strainer because he couldn't tell if the crawfish was done or not, crawfish wasn't cleaned AT ALL NOT EVEN A LITTLE they had mud all in between their legs. Tasteless po boy. And my order of fries literally looked like an actual handful it was so little fries.

A few thingsOne they scored a B for the health gradeTwo placed an order for pick up and the lady confirmed the internet had been down for 2 days. Did not ask me what the order was nor how could they accommodate .. which sucks considering the business was still open. If the internet is down I’m sure you can call Postmates etc to let them know. .Three - chicken gumbo labeled $15 and then totals out to almost $40 once you select the more cost effective option. A waste of my time.
