Cajun Restaurants near Sunset, LA

“My brothers and I recently had the stuffed seafood daily special. The food and experience were much more than we expected. I had phone-ordered three lunches to-go but, changed our minds after walking into the restaurant. We decided to stay and eat in the great atmosphere. We're looking forward to our next trip there for more food and atmosphere.“

“Great food and service. Our server, Macie, was amazing! She is clearly experienced and focused on a great experience for customers. Ask for Macie as your server on your next trip to Cafe Josephine!“

“Very good boudin, extra spicy and the boudin balls had a special spice that was different, we really liked it! Glad I got off the beaten path and didn’t go to Billy’s next door, it was certainly worth it!“

“Great food every time I have been. Always fast out and fresh.“

“best pork roast I've ever had“

“Absolutely the best meals! Everything there is delicious and they even have frozen meals for those nights that cooking just won't do! They are a must visit place!“

“Hamburger steaks are great and so is the boiled crawfish !“

“Burgers tonight were 🔥 as usual! Thank y’all!“

“My teen boys went in tonight to eat. They brought home burgers for my husband & I. Even the food sitting and taken to go was DELISH! 10/10 recommend!“

“Food I have picked up to go has been great. The chicken cracklins were warm with a light crisp, the boudin was meaty with good flavor, the fried ribs are always our favorite to chew on, the meat pie (meat) is really good and the crawfish pie is my hubby's favorite. Outside, the fuel pumps are roomy and easy to operate. The diesel pumps on the side are very convenient for my hubby's dually. The staff has been really nice and Mr. Hebert is always accommodating if something is needed. Overall, we give it a great review and we're excited they have come to Jennings to open their business“

“My husband and I travel to southern Louisiana the first weekend in May every year to partake in the crawfish festival. As a result, we like to dine at as many local establishments as possible and we always try to give an elaborate, detailed review. Let me preface this by saying I come from a family that owned a restaurant for 24 years and I have high standards. Since we come to town for crawfish, that is usually the first thing on the menu. It is not my favorite, but my husband loves it. So he ordered the crawfish(platter I think) which was a couple pounds with corn and potatoes. We were offered regular or spicy. Right here is where things get different. We eat a LOT of crawfish down here and we do our own crawfish boils. You can choose “spicy” and obtain that by leaving them in the pot for a few extra minutes to soak up the seasonings and they will be “spicy”. However, there are a few places that try to obtain the “spicy” by adding a powdered heat to it after they have been removed from the pot. If you like that way, that’s fine. We do not. We find that all it does is get all over your hands and face and really doesn’t add very much flavor to the meat at all. Each to their own. On the flip side. The crawfish were cooked and presented well and they were priced right. I had fried catfish. This too presented its own problems since it was brought on a basket, but I didn’t receive any napkins, a plate, or a fork. I did go and ask for them and received all of them. I realize that most people are ok to eat certain things with their hands, but I am a nurse by trade and I know what is lurking around on people’s hands. There will never be a day when I will eat anything with my hands. On the flip side. The catfish was phenomenal!! It was seasoned to perfection! Cooked exquisitely well and served hot! On a scale of 1-10. I’d give them a 7.5. It was good. The things they did good, they did really good.“

“One of the first places I stop every time I go to Lafayette! HUGE portions, DELICIOUS, creative menu and amazing staff!!!! Please open a location in Mandeville🤗🙏😉“

“Love this place. The food is delicious, and the people are awesome. The amount of food is usually enough for two.“

“Food was great, they were out of a few menu items but find a good replacement as we did order the Daily Special. Alot of food for the price so great bargain. Wasn't packed but kept a steady stream of customers while we ate. The waitress was friendly and hospitable. It's exactly what one would expect from a hole-in-the-wall kinda place. Food was spicy but I expected that. Will stop when we pass thru again.“

“We had a reservation for a party of 11 including 2 children. The atmosphere is chill and nice. The manager and waitress checked on us several times. Overall was ok and the service was great but the food was average. The portion size was nice but my chicken florentiene was bland. It came with garlic mashed potatoes which I enjoyed and as the other side I got rice dressing; it needed more seasoning and was just basic. The entrée itself was fried and mostly breading over a small chicken breast. It could have used more seasoning but putting the spinach and sauce over the chicken made it a soggy mess. There weren't many thing on the menu that I desired so I settled for this. I only went to this restaurant because of my dad's birthday dinner but I prefer Infusion (better food) or the Lil pizza spot. Probably won't be back.“

“Always great quality foods and generous servings. Great place!“

“6.13.25 @ approx. 1 P.M.
I came here for the first time because Lumber Jacks (another eatery I wanted to try seemed to have been closed for good).

I saw chicken and sausage gumbo on their menu, but they ran out.

I tried the shrimp stew. It came with corn and potato salad. It was good.

We also tried the fried catfish (2 pieces), and I really enjoyed the piece I tasted.

If you are ever on Moss St. and looking for a plate lunch, the Lunch Box might fill the void.“

“Great Great Food clean store very nice I would recommend“

“First time visiting today, 7/10/23 and so glad we did! I had the Tony Chachere on Focaccia an d my sister hand the Marilyn Monroe. We both loved them! I’ve never had Focaccia bread so soft and delicious before. It was very hard to choose from all the wonderful sandwiches and I’d definitely go back again next time I come back home to Louisiana for visit.“

“The brunch was “the bomb”! Celee our waitress was quite pleasant and very helpful with choices of mimosas. Love love love the blood orange mimosa!!! Manager Chris was really nice and offered great advice on table reservations on our next visit. Overall I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Would recommend to all.“

“Can't argue that whatever you choose will be good. Always enjoyable service and people. I know it's been around for a long time but doesn't have to look like it. If I'm around I definitely will be stopping by but not really going to go out of the way.“

“Looked for a sit down crawfish boiler between Ville Platte and Lafayette that was boiling for lunch on a Saturday. Cankton Cafe was one of the few sit down places open and boiling. The place was easy to find with plenty of parking. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the crawfish seasoning and quality was above average. Definitely a small town restaurant worth taking a detour for.“

“Always go to crawfish corner bc the crawfish is always well seasoned and the man in the front is always so nice! 😊 I think he deserves a raise lol“

“Ordered the seafood platter and a cup of gumbo. The seafood platter and etoufe was very good! The gumbo had good flavor but for $10 it had roux which was delicious and 5 tiny shrimps plus the bowl of rice, I like pepper , onion and celery this had absolutely no veggies! Please add a little more meat! And some veggies!! They are cheap and make a world of difference ,We will be back just make it better.“

“it’s awesome and it has amazing service.“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Went in for dinner on a Thursday Evening Everything was delicious. Our Server was Sage she was amazing kept drinks full on the table and food and appetizers coming out quickly! Second time in three weeks we’ve been in! Mitch was our server the last time and had the same experience!! I haven’t been here in years over the terrible service they use to have seems like they have turned the place around!!! Will definitely continue to come back!“
