“My friends and I were traveling and stopped in for some Cajun food. We had crawfish and boiled shrimp. Our server, Jay, was very excited to tell us a bit about the culture. She kept a smile on our faces. Food ✅ service ✅“

“This is by far the best food we have had in Lake Charles, and we've been here for 5 days. Her plate lunches are what home cooking should be like.“

“Regan is amazing and very helpful and friendly!!! Our family had a great experience!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The staff at Southern Spice is fantastic. All the team members work hard and get your delicious food out quickly. So yummy!“

“service is great! food is always good from the peaux boys, potateaux, bowls, to the plate lunch specials... They are Greatttttt!❤️💪🏽💯“

“If you’re craving some real Cajun flavor, this spot is where it’s at! The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, I am always immediately greeted with smiles and hellos from the sweetest employees! These girls are the definition of southern charm! The food is amazing, I have never had anything I did not LOVE. You have to try the crawfish bread which is my personal favorite. Portions are amazing and this is definitely a must-try if you want some down-home Cajun goodness or a home cooked meal without the hassle!“

“Every time I try something different at In-Laws I’m always blown away by the flavor! Do yourself a favor and try their breakfast! Sausage egg and cheese biscuit with smashed boudin ball on top and pepper jelly will make your taste buds go crazy! Highly recommend! (Their lunch plates are just as good!)“

“Food was very good. Waitress was kind and engaging. Music was a bonus on a Friday night. Definitely worth going. One of the better dining experiences we've had as of late.“

“love love love their crawfish! they’re always our go to, but after today meeting the man that was working the drive thru (he may have been the owner, no idea, it’s usually young ladies working drive thru) he was VERY personable and paid extra attention to our daughter in the back seat, i’ll never even think about trying somebody else’s crawfish again (we strayed one time just to see and i was so disappointed 😩🤫) thank yall for offering great size and good prices year after year (we don’t shop for crawfish at all UNTIL they open, we are that serious 😅😂) okay i’m done ty again“

“They have the best crawfish in town, hands down!!“

“Best cracklings we ever had!! Excellent and friendly service!“

“Awesome Food Awesome service Love this restaurant“

“Generous portions with the baskets. We had the shrimp/oyster and fish/oyster. The shrimp were huge and the oysters were tasty. We like the cornmeal breading on the fish. Onion rings were made from scratch and very good. The side salads weren't anything special.“

“Food was outstanding and the customer service was on point. Whoever is in management is really doing their job well!! Totally recommend and personally will be back!“

“Food is always delicious And service is amazing“

“Awesome tasting crawfish; friendly staff“

“Super nice people and good crawfish. I was running behind and wasn’t gonna be there before they closed and they stayed open till I got there!“

“I have ordered The Cajun's Wharf on Doordash a couple of times and picked it up. The first time I attempted to order pickup from Cajun's Wharf, I tried to call them, but they did not answer, and if I recall correctly their voicemail inbox was full too, so I went the Doordash route.
Both times, the food has been extremely good. The chicken strips are grown up, served with a nicely peppered white gravy (which if I am being honest, I have never had chicken strips with white gravy, but it makes sense after you try it, SO good), and a nice amount of food, enough to make into a second meal. Would definitely recommend the cajun taters (home chips). Their onion rings are also extremely good, they are beer battered and the breading stays on them properly when you eat them.
My husband has gotten the burger both times, and he really likes it. I haven't tried it personally but I saw a pickle on his burger the last time and it looked like a high quality cold pack pickle slice.
Have yet to come in and sit down to eat, but eventually we may.

Would definitely recommend trying Cajun's Wharf, as this place isn't just a another bar.“

“We had a great experience dining here on 6/3/23. The dozen oysters on the half shell were very tasty. My husband had the catfish and commented on how it was the best he has had in a very long time. I had the burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for accommodating all my food allergies. It’s difficult but you all really tried and I appreciate it very much. Finally, we had great service from Brook and enjoyed eating on the patio. Keep up the great work. Food service is a grueling job but you all did it so effortlessly!“
