Cajun Restaurants near Meraux, LA

“This is my favorite spot in the parish. The food is always delicious, and the menu features some inventive fusion options in an unpretentious, laid-back atmosphere. Their alfredo is up there with my favorite pastas in the GNO area. The real MVPs might be the appetizers though: firecrackers, gator bombs...you can't really go wrong.“

“Great food and quick service“

“Best po-boys... We've been eating here for a number of years. Our go-to especially for breakfast po-boys. The best bread ever...made locally in NOLA. Not sure why they didn't have Bloody Mary's this time...they have had in the past....but sandwiches still worth the visit.“

“Great service and delicious food“

“Beignets. We tried them all. On our way to the battlefield, we happened to pass Parish Diner and decided to stop. Good thing we did! Easily the best beignets in New Orleans. Unanimous vote!“

“Skip the seafood in the French Quarter and head to this spot. This is where the locals come to eat. Large menu, great prices and original Nola food. Delicious!!“

“Decided to try this establishment as we have passed it for a while. It may have said it was a Red Bird fried 🐔🍗 chicken but also was a daiquiris shop. Ordered our food, wife got a chicken sandwich 🥪 with fries 🍟 and I got a breast and wing with fries 🍟. After a short time our food was served. Wife got what she ordered and I got a drumstick 🍗 and a back, completely opposite of what I ordered. Upon going back to the register the manager asked what was wrong and I explained what was wrong and said immediately corrected the problem. Kudos to the manager. The young man that took out order was wearing dark sunglasses 😎 while he took out order and afterwards he took them off. Food was hot 🥵 and tasty.“

“the other day was my first time going as it was recommended by a good friend. it is, hands down ,my new favorite establishment in new orleans! the staff were very friendly and welcoming. they were quick to point me to menu favorites that i,a meat eater, and my friend, a vegetarian ,both loved! I had the hot sausage burger and gumbo and my friend had the island veggie burger.any bar that throws down for Bowies birthday is tops in my book. the vibe is very true art forward as well as the patrons. .Even though I was new to a lot of the crowd it seemed like they were happy I was there. i will be back!10/10 stars.“

“One of the best poboys I have ever tasted.“

“Classic home cooking in the parish...but this place is hard to beat!! I ordered the Friday special--shrimp pasta with 2 big catfish filets, corn and garlic bread. That meal was fire!!! And plenty enough to share! The wife had a cup of gumbo(it was more like a bowl!) that was FULL of chicken and sausage!! The employees were super friendly and the prices were very fair. Don't sleep on this place.“

“creative and lovely food in an amazing building“

“For gas station food this was some of the best I’ve had. I ordered wings and a friend seafood plate with fried rice. The wings are very similar to KFC hot wings but better. Even their Red Dragon sauce is similar to the KFC candy apple wing sauce from the early 2000s. Will definitely come back for the wings.“

“Never had one bad meal at this establishment! Highly recommended !“

“This restaurant is a must stop EVERY time I’m in town visiting family. My Lawd I always get the shrimp sandwich on bun but I got the hot sausage patties po-boy as well this time. Also grabbed a pound of shrimp and a pound of crawfish. I know I was being big eyed because I was hungry but I didn’t regret it because everything was good, per usual. My mom tasted the crawfish and looovvveeed the favor. I got the regular spice level and she said it was just right, not too spicy. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend.“

“This place always has got food for a low price. And is always packed everyday with loyal customers. Everyone around here enjoys the meals they make. They open at 9:30am-7 but sometimes the owner has to leave early because he sells out to quick“

“We had MeMe’s cater our Thanksgiving lunch at work today and it was some of the best catered food I’ve ever had. The whole office (who are sometimes some serious food snobs) were all raving about it. I didn’t even not hear one complaint about any of the dishes. They are a small but mighty business and I highly recommend them.“

“We had a breakfast wrap that was Amaazing............“

“Customer service was on point. Servers welcome you like family. The atmosphere was jazzy and a vibe with the N.O. music. The food arrived quickly and was well seasoned. Will definitely be back.“

“I used Nola Crawfish King for an outdoor party we just held in June. I worked with Sophia in catering, and she could not have been more helpful. She quickly responded to all of my many emails. I wanted a crawfish/shrimp boil, and she helped with deciding what the ratio should be considering it was late in the season for crawfish. The guys who did the boil did a great job, set up all the tables and chairs, and everybody loved the seafood. Don't hesitate to use this company. You won't regret it.“

“Another night in NOLA which means it’s time to try a new food spot. Earlier today I was over on Canal and passed by Willie’s. The smell itself drew me in and I decided at that moment that I was coming back. LoL!!!! Willie’s sits right on the strip so it’s super easy to find. The front was totally open and there were a few tables outside on the sidewalk. As the strip is super active, sitting outside would be dope if you wanted to people watch. LoL. Walking up to the counter, each register had a cashier so the line was running smoothly. Taking a moment to review the menu, it was as one would anticipate; simple, straightforward, and one dimensional. The highlight of Willie’s definitely appears to be the Daiquiri’ as there are many options. I decided on the 3pc Cajun Tender Combo which comes with Fries and a Honey Biscuit. I also added a side of Red Beans and Rice. I mean, it is NOLA so I had to do it. I placed my order. Received my number. And took a seat to await my order. The restaurant was clean and vibrant. The yellow and red throughout the restaurant really set an upbeat tone that pairs well with the neon lights and vibrant colors of the Daiquiris. Once my order was ready, it was delivered to the table and I was good to go. Let’s talk the Food: Biscuit - Simple. Buttery. Crunchy around the bottom edges. Soft in the middle. Nothing special to note. Reminds me of a biscuit from Church’s. I’ll say 7/10. Tenders - Big. Juicy. Crunchy on the outside. Well seasoned. That’s it. That’s all I got. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I’ll say 5/10. Fries - Well Seasoned. Crunchy. I’ll say 7/10. Red Beans and Rice - Now hear me out. I love a good RB&R and these were good. There were way more beans than there was rice, which is ideal for this kind of dish. They weren’t too spicy. They were flavored well and the beans were tender. You can definitely tell they were slow simmered. I’ll say 8/10. Now… hear me out! The food wasn’t bad but for $25.00, chileeeeeeeeeeee. No ma’am, No sir. Lemme go to the chicken spot for half the price. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I won’t maybe go again if I want a lil piece of a tender. But at $13 for the Combo and $8 for the RB&R… imma need a coupon or something. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ok, Ok. In all seriousness, if you’re in the area, go for the experience. *P. S. For my Up North people, Willie’s puts me in the mindset of our “New York Fried Chicken” spots that be on the strip in the hood.“

“Show up and party only if feelings aren’t butt hurt.“

“Came in from Missouri to work Hurricane Francine. Stopped by today and grabbed some crawfish and shrimp. It was great!“
