I went in to meet my parents for lunch one day and the guy (Hank) taking my order was absolutely amazing!!! He took amazing care of me and my parents! The food was absolutely wonderful! I had a catfish filet, a small jambalaya, and one boudin ball!!! The food was top notch, the service and atmosphere were amazing!
I might be a little biased since I grew up on authentic Cajun food made by my mom, but I was excited to give Big Easy Grill a try. I ordered the fried oysters, boudin balls, and seafood gumbo.
The fried oysters weren’t too bad—crispy and decent flavor. But the boudin balls and gumbo didn’t really do it for me. Both had a strange smoky flavor that felt out of place, and the filé in the gumbo tasted old or maybe overdone. It just didn’t capture that true Cajun depth and comfort I’m used to.
The staff was nice and the portions were fair, but overall the food missed the mark for me. If you’ve had real Louisiana-style Cajun cooking, you’ll probably notice the difference.
I’m from Louisiana and the food did not taste like the southern food I was use to from there. The boudin balls do not taste like best stop, dons, or Billy’s boudin. The crawfish etoufee was also a tomatoey base like a creole etoufee instead of a Cajun etoufee which doesn’t have tomato in it. The muffuletta wasn’t bad.
This restaurant is on my list of favorites in the area. Which is odd for me because I order the same thing everytime I go. I always get the creole jambalaya medium. I've probably been there 30-40 times (hush - I know that's a lot of jambalaya but I know what I like lol)
The food comes out relatively quickly. Of course it could be quicker, but you can order, eat and be done within a regular lunch hour, and if you want faster - I guess Dairy Queen is in the parking lot so maybe go there.
The only ding on this place I can think of is that sometimes during the lunch rush, it can be busy. This isn't bad though, it's actually a testament to how good they are.
Keep up the great work Big Easy Grill, I'll be back
Enjoyed the food! The seating by the front door area was less than desirable, but everything else was spot on. Thanks for a good meal!
the establishment should absolutely be ashamed with the product they are serving their customers. this alongside a side order of boudin balls costed me over $20. this is the chicken and sausage “gumbo”. as a cajun myself, i am fully aware that restaurant quality won’t be authentic but it should at least be QUALITY. this gumbo is grey looks greenish which if you look up what it SHOULD look like…is brown. the rice (even as a side order) was mushy. i called the restaurant and let them know of the poor quality and their response was “we will not refund you because you didn’t like it” and rambled on about how she knows it’s good and that my opinion shouldn’t be taken into consideration. i’m extremely disappointed.
Thought we'd try something new today. Boy we're we in for a pleasant surprise! My husband had the Fried Fish Dinner and I had the Muffaletta. I just loved the Olive relish that they had put on it. It was so flavorful!! Loved it!!!!. I highly recommend Big Easy Grill!!! **********
Etouffe was good and spicy. The fried fish plate could have used another piece of fish but was still good. Boudin balls were excellent.

Orderd the gumbo today and it went down the drain after the first bite, worst gumbo ever. I am from southern Louisiana and have never seen green gumbo
The wife’s fish was good
Had seafood gumbo. Needed hot sauce, which was on the table. If you need a cajun fix, this place is it. I lived in New Orleans for a while and I was thinking this place is a lot like the walk up places in the Quarter but served at tables not styrofoam cups. Good, simple, authentic.

I don’t see how anyone could leave a negative review here. Outstanding people and equally outstanding food. Love the Jambalaya.
