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!“

“The cajun fries (medium spicy) were amazing. Shrimp and lobster were fresh and tasty too. Do note that they don’t come with any sides so you gotta order your corn on the cob and potatoes as extras (which were also tasty after being marinated in the Cajun sauce).

The staffs were all nice and attentive. It would be better if the soda wasn’t flat. Would also be better if a bucket could be offered at the table for the shells, so that the sauce doesn’t float everywhere.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“We've been coming here for a few years. It started in October 2019 when my parents were in town from out of state, where my now husband asked my father for permission to marry me. We've been coming ever since. We even order take our when passing through, and we don't live close by. We really enjoy their food. It's absolutely delicious. We highly recommend going there and eating their food.
We get the chicken quesadilla, black beans and white rice, and corn and bean empanadas. Delicious!!“

“I got the fish and chips. The fish was done pretty well. The batter did not have much flavor. The dipping sauce was good. It had a little flavor and a bit of a bite to it. The fries are tiny and we're overdone. They had no flavor. The service was a little slow. The staff was friendly. The place is old and shows some wear, but clean.“
