Went to dinner with a party of 4. The interior of Ragin Cajun is eclectic and fun without being kitsch. The maroon walls and black accents, string lights, prints of New Orleans jazz and blue performers and mixed of blues and rock on the sound system created a great environment to enjoy a unique meal down the shore. We started with the alligator sausage served with a delicious mustard sauce. A little heat and a lot of flavor. The sausage was cooked to a pleasing snap. It is mildly...

We love this place. We've been coming here for years and every time it is incredible. Sitting outside in the summer is great, and they have live music some nights. Ragin Cajun really stands out amid a sea of bars and Italian restaurants at the shore. There is no place like it in New Jersey. The rolls and roasted garlic alone make the trip worth it. Highly recommend.

Another great meal at Ragin Cajun!! The food is consistently good and the staff is so friendly and helpful. The New Orleans authenticity in the food is very apparent. We took my dad who was born and raised in NOLA and he said it tasted like his childhood. W have eaten both inside and out. Inside you get the warmth of NOLA with hints of city all around you. Outside is a beautiful view of the bay across the street.
