Cajun Restaurants near Meraux, LA

“Quite surprised to find this gem of a restaurant! The food was great with generous portions. The staff was very attentive and professional without being annoying. Seems like more if a local hang out rather than the usual New Orleans touristy place, which is a definite plus! Added bonus, my husband lost his knife the night we were there. He called the next morning to find that they indeed had found it and he could come pick it up anytime!! What a relief since it had been a gift from our son. They also have a little nod to the staff on the menu - you can buy them a beer for $8, which we were happy to do! They deserve it!“

“Great food and quick service“

“Awesome food at a great price.And Awesome service!“

“The food is phenomenal it has such a homey feeling that welcomes you with each bite. You will never leave dissatisfied. The service is very generous everyone is very welcoming. I absolutely love this place it is like a hidden gem“

“Laurent was our server. He was friendly, attentive to the table, and quickly responded to additional requests. Loved the music and atmosphere. We were seated quickly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“The first time I visited here I had the cheese fries with fried shrimp. My daughter had the seafood pasta. The food was very good and fresh. Then we had 2 for 1 drinks. Of course I been back two times after that and had the Bourbon burger with fries. Mouth watering not to mention the atmosphere is very peaceful.“

“Enjoyed their classic New Orleans live stage performance, but they threw raw egg at me, raw egg all over, all over my hands.

Vegetarian options: Gave me a lawnmower to make my own food.

Kid-friendliness: Stage performer ate my son.

Wheelchair accessibility: I was pushed into the canal.“

“Silk Road is a bit off the beaten path, but we were very interested in trying the restaurant. The reviews looked great, but they were old. We are so glad that we ate dinner here. We ate outside as it was a beautiful evening and the inside didn't appeal to us. The food was amazing and the prices incredibly (almost unbelievably) reasonable. Apparently the chef has been there for 10 years and continues to wow the staff with his creativity and quality delicious dishes. We can't agree more. Usually we don't repeat a restaurant when we are on vacation because there are so many to try in a short period of time. This food was so delicious, we will partake again before we leave. As a side note, my husband is gluten free and there were a number of options for him. His red curry dish was wonderful, as was my tikki masala.“

“Tomahawk Steak Dinner is excellent, it feeds two people.“

“I don't ever make reviews, but these people were dope af. I came to Louisiana to escape the hurricane in Florida, and I'm high-key thinking of staying here to have this food regularly. Them hot honey wings and the red dragon wings was bomb, their egg rolls were crispy af, and we got a pound of shrimp that was well seasoned. Also, the cooks and the cashier were all cool to talk to. Love these guys, and we're gonna hit them up again before we head back home.“

“Visited from out of town. It was close to my AirBnB. I tried the fried rice combo which came with ham, shrimp, & chicken fried rice with a protein side. I chose fried pork chops. The chops were just mildly seasoned & not fried crispy enough but was a good quality pork chop. The rice was decent. I will return to try more options. An extra starFriendly service.“

“Wonderful comfort food. Large portions and variety ❤️“

“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.“

“I was a bit skeptical about ordering from a food truck, but my brother and I decided to give it a go. We decided to try the spicy chicken sandwich on brioche and OMG it was a amazing. Our entire experience was wonderful, but I never tasted a chicken sandwich packed with so much flavor like this one. PLEASE don't sleep on food trucks in New Orleans la. Cocoa & Cream was super helpful and kind. 5/5!“

“I ride from Metairie. Been eating Mama ish since been. Way on Michoud. We would walk from Gulfway for that seafood baby.“

“Go Get You Some 🤤“

“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.“

“Hot n fresh n tasty wings came with fried rice. My kids said the crawfish tasted better than mine.“

“I like love it because of its simplicity, awesome food, and service. The waiting staff don't bother, you get your food almost immediately (fresh and fast) and if you choose to eat their the booths are very secluded so you and a friend, co worker, date etc can eat undisturbed (my favorite part). Highly recommend“
