Quaint little cafe with good food. I was a regular but I will not be back. Twice they were out of the side that came with the meal so they gave me another side same price but changed me for the side. I completed but no use. Today they were out of potato salad for the gumbo and offered mashed potatoes. I asked if we could substitute 1 small onion ring for the 2 missing potato salad and waitress said sure. Changed me for the onion rings but no credit for the 2 missing potato salad.

What a great place. My wife and I were visiting family in sunset who had just moved there and we were looking for a place to eat. Everything was fantastic and the entertainment was awesome. The chicken and shrimp were some of the best I have ever had. Looking forward to our next visit. 10 stars

This is a hidden gem but food is really good. I love the catfish bites, seafood combo, and shrimp poboy is good!

Absolutely every single thing that we've had here was On Point! In an area of the country where everything that you put in your mouth is good this place is amazing!

We live not too far away, so we finally decided to get this place a try. Boy, are we glad we did! Phenomenal food and very reasonable prices. From the seafood platters, to the filet mignon, to the fried chicken, and even the chicken & sausage gumbo, everything was homemade and delicious!
Bonus tip: the fried pickle appetizer is the best we’ve ever had, even my kids were fighting for the last few in the plate!

I have been here a few times since last year.
The crawfish aren't too my liking. A lil too bland...
The main reason I will not come in is when my niece asked for no cheese on her burger, it came out with cheese! We even told the girl from the beginning when we were ordering appetizer she is ALLERGIC to dairy. The nice server took the burger back. It looked like a different burger intil she gets half through and there is the infamous stretchy swiss! UNBELIEVABLE! We didn't see it under the sauted onions.
East at your own risk if you have an Allergy, they wont listen
Dietary restrictions: You tell them no dairy, you get cheese after asking for no cheese, gets same burger with most of cheese taken off and hidden by onions!
This place is amazing! Love the boiled seafood, onion rings homemade, and BBQ on Sundays! The atmosphere is always amazing, and love the Sunday Bands, it’s a family atmosphere. And lastly the waitress staff is phenomenal! Good food is worth waiting for.
Love love love this place! The decorations, everything makes you feel at home. I love the atmosphere and everything about Cankton Cafe! The food is everything. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat just at anytime of the morning, day, night, or whatever… I would 1000 recommend!
The atmosphere, everyone is treated like family. It’s such an amazing place to eat. Not only is the food amazing, it’s so comfortable and nice. 10/10 recommend!
