Cajun Restaurants near Lexington, KY

“We had a nice lunch at Bourbon n' Toulouse. This is definitely a different style of restaurant and reminded me of ordering food in Queens, NY. There are a lot of options to choose from, and they all sounded delicious. I ordered a 1/2 & 1/2 of gumbo & jambalaya. The food was seasoned well and they provide you with a good portion. The gumbo had a nice spiciness, which I really enjoyed. The prices for the food and portion size is extremely reasonable. I would love to come back to try other dishes.“

“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.“

“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 🦞“

“Stopped in to get a bite to eat and couldn’t be more satisfied! The food was delicious, atmosphere very relaxed, and the lady behind the counter was an absolute BEAUTY of a conversationalist! If I could give 6 out of 5 stars I absolutely would, and I plan to return in the near future“

“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.“
