Cajun Restaurants near Somerville, MA

“The Cajun sauce is phenomenal. Fresh seafood and big portions. Good place to hangout w friends and family. High recommended. ❤️“

“New to the area. This place is INCREDIBLE, I would ignore any low star ratings. The food is amazing, with very generous portions. I ordered the griot, rice and beans, and pikliz. It was $20 and could easily feed 3 people. Griot was fantastic, like a crispier carnitas, rendered pork shoulder, crispy, salty, delicious. Rice and beans, perfect, simple, rice cooked very well, beans creamy and delicious, and grounded with earthy flavors of allspice, black pepper, and clove. Pikliz were perfect for this meal, incredibly bright, unexpectedly spicy (in the best way possible). If youve never been to Haiti or want to taste some of the flavors you remember having there, then I highly HIGHLY recommend this place. Woman working the cashier was lovely, she knew I was a bit of a fish out of water going to this spot and took care of me and the food came fast, hot, and packed well.“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Tuesday 1/24/23 on my lunch break at work in beacon hill, ordering here for the first time . I went with the 5pc mix chicken with a honey biscuit, also ordered 3 honey biscuits side order. I got 2 thighs, 1breast, 1wing, 1drumstick. The chicken had a well balance seasoning, very crispy not covered in heavy batter, chicken was cooked fully and moist inside very tasty was very happy with the quality and tasty of chicken! The honey biscuits where delicious it was sweet with a glazed over the top they had blueberry’s inside and like a cake not dry and very good! If you haven’t tried this spot it’s a must TRY! I was very satisfied with my lunch and ready to get back to work from my half hour break. Check out my pictures below!“

“To the person who said the waiter said they ran out of sausage three days ago, was miss informed. They ran out t of sausage three years ago. My first visits ti the shaking crab in quincy I know they served sausage. After that came the hot dogs. Never ordered sausage again“

“I’d been wanting something spicy and carb-heavy for a long time, and this place absolutely hit the spot. Great for sharing, with spice levels to suit everyone. We tried the snow crab legs, shrimp po’ boy, and lobster rolls — the lobster rolls were the crowd favourite!

It is on the pricier side, but totally worth it for the quality and flavour. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be visiting again!“

“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.“

“The best food which I have not had in a long time. Ordered mild sauce but ended up with medium. Spicy but yummy“

“Border Cafe always hits the spot.
Conveniently located on Route One northbound in Saugus, Mass., it's always my top choice for its great atmosphere and delicious Mexican cuisine. With a huge selection and reasonable prices, there's truly something for everyone. But what sets them apart is their amazing staff, always friendly, hard working, attentive, and committed to making every visit memorable.

Border Cafe never disappoints and keeps me coming back for more every time.I Highly Recommend 😋“

“Had the mussels and shrimp boil with potatoes, broccoli, and corn on the cob! Don't forget the mai tai and mojito! Everything was amazing! The service was friendly and fast!!“
