Cajun Restaurants in Lexington, KY

“My friend and I stopped here from out of town; very impressed with both the non-vegan and vegan options. The food was EXCELLENT, staff was very friendly. Black beans, etoufeé and jambalaya were all excellent. Would come back in a heartbeat. Bellamy the travel frog gives it 5/5 frogs.“

“First visit to their new location - quiet, funky and laid-back spot for delicious, eye-watering Cajun/Fusion; Tammy's Thai Peanut is definitely choice! ??? Also, I could go through a gallon of Stingin' Honey in little more than a month - it's addictive! ?

Vegetarian options: Tammy's Thai Peanut Etouffee w/ peppers, baby-corn, etc. is the featured veg entree (its great!), but there are a couple more.“

“We had Gumbo ya-ya cater our son’s graduation party and it was fabulous!! We had multiple cajun options from the restaurant for guests to choose from and at the end of the night people had gone back for 3rd and 4th servings!! We were so pleased, the owners were amazing and made sure our special event was enjoyed by all. No one walked away hungry and everyone complimented us on the food!! We will definitely use them again. Thank you so much!!“

“Good people and good food! I can’t recommend highly enough. I’ve yet to eat anything that I didn’t like. Bourbon Chicken and Spicy Rice is a great starter if you’re trying to figure out.“

“I have been on a crab kick lately so we tried Shaking Seafood and Wings tonight for the first time. It was phenomenal! The seafood (snow crab, head on shrimp, headless shrimp, crawfish) was all cooked perfectly and the crab legs were HUGE. Nothing was overcooked or rubbery and the sauce is delicious. The crawfish were really good and clean, too, and not tough even though I’m sure they had to have been frozen. The restaurant is very clean, everyone is friendly and service is fast and friendly. We will definitely return. Thank you for a great meal!“

“The environment was neat and our server was really friendly and helpful. The restroom needed to be cleaned and there were at least 4 employees standing around talking/on their phones during our visit.
We received complimentary seafood bread and it was really tasty. Our food was served quickly and hot. We ordered the fried catfish po’boy, fried gator po’boy, and a seafood boil (snow crab legs, lobster tail, corn, potatoes, crab house cajun, mild). The seafood boil was flavorful, the fried catfish was ok, the gator was good but not enough to fill the bread, and the hushpuppies were really good.
I recommend this restaurant if you like seafood.“
