Cajun Restaurants near Madison, MS

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding!

The Crab Boat Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and the comforting aroma of freshly prepared seafood. The atmosphere perfectly blends coastal charm with a relaxed, inviting vibe—ideal for a casual dinner, date night, or a special celebration.

The star of the show, of course, is the crab. Every dish we tried was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The crab legs were sweet and tender, the crab cakes were packed with flavor and not filler, and the garlic-butter dipping sauce was heavenly. Even the sides—from the crispy fries to the buttery corn—were impressively delicious.

Service was exceptional as well. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations without ever being intrusive.

If you’re a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit. The quality is top-tier, the portions are generous, and the experience is worth every penny. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!

Highly recommended! 🦀💙“

“First time trying out this quaint little cafe’ and I can’t say enough about our experience. It was great. Tommy, our gentleman of a waiter, was excellent. He was attentive, funny, & personable. The food was fantastic! GET! THE! FRIED! TOMATOES! Soooo yum!“

“Incredible service and food.“

“The restaurant was nice and clean also I had one of the best servers ever. Ask for Haley next time you visit, she was attentive, professional, friendly and sweet. Will definitely return again!!“

“My boyfriend ordered a large salad with grilled chicken it was delicious and also very large. I ordered a shrimp po-boy, it had lots of delicious shrimp on it with all the trimmings. My disappointment was with the bread itself. I would have given the food 5 stars if they would use French bread the kind like New Orleans French bread. Then all of my orders would have been 5 stars. They also have a live band, only wish they would have started earlier and have had more cooling or fans on the outside where the band was. It just got too hot so we had to leave. We would have spent more money there if it weren't for that. We still recommend Shuckers a great place.

Parking: No problem, we were able to park right at the entrance. The place was full with plenty of parking to spare. ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!!“

“I was living in Mississippi for a bit and was excited to see the original inventers of the charbroiled oysters out of New Orleans extend their goodness out here to Jackson!! It was great to have a taste of home right at my doorstep. Man, these kats didn't miss a beat and brought this awesomeness here to the capital city of the Magnolia State of Mississippi. It is a must to have their Original Charbroiled oysters. They are often imitated but never duplicated. This is the real deal, and that stuffed lobster is fire too!!“

“the seafood was great. I will be coming back“
