Poorly packed food. Leaked all over my seat.

The fried rice was almost ok, but the flavor wasn't consistent as some bites were better than others. It's soggy and the rice is barely fried.

Spicy fried chicken wasn't great either. Had a weird sweet taste to it.

Spent like $60 for a seat stain and less than mediocre food.

I'll have to pass on this place. Can get better for $20 elsewhere.

This place is in front of a somewhat busy street. We parked in front of the building, which you have to pay for the meter. The inside is very spacious, it was just us and one other group. The options are endless. Food came out pretty quick and still hot. All the food we had was good and flavorful, although it's on the pricier side. Portion size was decent.

The Cajun House is so good and has so many unique different types of foods that you cannot find on any other restaurants menu in the area. I recently stopped in and had the soft shell crab and fried frog legs. Both were excellent. Great seasoning on the batter. Great portions for the price. They also have a great selection of specialty drinks and beer to choose from. Service was quick and friendly.

I'll be going back soon to try some of the more unique menu items like spicy pork brains, intestines soup, and pork feet. If you're an adventurous eater like me, check out their menu.

Steamed Dumplings were still hard. Gumbo was luke warm, mostly broth with no flavor. Pad Thai didn’t have any peanut flavor, but then again I was already disinterested in my food after having broth soup. They appeared to be short staff and the overall service was very slow!

The boba drinks were good! I would come back for that.

Food was very hit or miss. Some dishes were amazing and some were not good at all. Crab fried rice had a few pieces of crab but mostly shrimp. When we were there, the tablet for doordash orders or something was incessantly beeping for at least 30 minutes and it was incredibly irritating. Service was nice besides that. Went on a Sunday for lunch in July and it was pretty empty.

Parking: Amount of parking will greatly depend on time of year + day of the week

I had the gumbo, and it was good. I used live down south and know gumbo. While perhaps not strictly n'awlins legit, let's call it a good Minnesota approximation. The place is a true melange of flavors with BBQ and other flavors on the menu. The gumbo was good enough I'll be back to try some of their other offerings.

I have been coming here for 5 years. This place has the best Cajun boil I’ve ever had. If you haven’t been here - do yourself a favor and try it. House Cajun sauce is amazing, get it hot! Owners are very kind and hospitable.

Dang the little appetizers were really good. I got a few skewers and they were all delicious! My favorite was the fried frog legs. Better than chicken wings dang. Got some scallop/oysters and I assume they use their cajun sauce for it. A little saltier than I like. We got bbq pork, it was a tad too rich and it was tough. Made my gums sore. Got pork feet too! Probably the least favorite I've had anywhere to be honest. The skin is tough and not edible. The sauce was thick soy sauce flavor. I would go back just to try more appetizers!

So goooooooooooooood. I ate an entire spicy seafood boil combo solo with an extra pound of octopus and pork belly with a scallion pancake to wipe my plate clean. DEFINITELY returning. Great Asian Cajun fusion. ?

Great! I've been looking for a seafood boil since I left Virginia and this was spot on. I had a cluster of snow crab and head-on shrimp, they came with 2 potatoes and 2 corn.
