Cajun Restaurants in Lexington, KY

“Exceptional meal from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What truly set this place apart, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive—some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced anywhere. You can tell they genuinely care about both the food and the people they serve. I’ll absolutely be back the next time I’m in Lexington.“

“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.“

“Stumbled across this restaurant looking for something to eat on Valentines - AMAZING❗️❗️ We will be back very soon. The bread pudding and pie is to die for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Cajun food. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day special ❤️“

“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!“

“Always a great stop for some fresh seafood 🦞“

“I treated myself to lunch at Storming Crab today after receiving good news during a doctor’s visit today. I normally go to the other seafood boil restaurant, but since I was on this side of town, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m very glad I did! The food and service are excellent. Vivianne was my server and she took wonderful care of me. The food was very good, hot and fresh, and not overcooked or rubbery (snow crab and head off shrimp). The crab legs were a good size and the shrimp were huge. I chose crab house Cajun flavor and spice level hot, which really isn’t that hot - it’s just pleasantly spicy & flavorful. The complimentary seafood bread was also delicious. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Storming Crab. The only criticism I have is the appearance of the parking lot makes the restaurant seem rundown (weeds and trash), but the inside is fine and clean.“
