Cajun Restaurants near Fairfield, NJ

“My family and I have been coming to this Fairfield Jose Tejas for over a decade now! We have always loved the fun atmosphere and great food. Service is consistently top tier. Margaritas are a must when you go (or Cerveza if that's more you). At our most recent visit I had the Mesquite Chicken Salad, which was great - but I unfortunately chose this to fill the gaping hole which is now the disappeared "Tostada Grande" of Jose Tejas past. It was legendary, and very well priced. I have noticed the price points for most if not all items have increased. Going to have to try my hand at recreating the Tostada Grande from home if y'all don't bring it back! I know I'm not the only one who misses it. Regardless, try this place if you are in the area or go to their other location if it's closer. It's always a great place for lunch & dinner.“

“Worth the wait and the hype - usually no wait during quieter hours but be sure to reserve during peak times - the food was delicious and fresh, cooked perfectly with a deliciously famous Capt Loui seasoning - be sure to load up on the seafood for extra flavor in the boil, addd garlic noodles and some homemade lemonade for the full experience “

“Since 2003, the brainchild of the husband-and-wife duo team, Albert and Yanick Ranieri, have opened this premier restaurant and martini bar located on Valley Street in South Orange. Upon entering and translating from the French, a "butterfly" insignia floated above the bar, illuminating the various hues of the 57 martini and specialty cocktails offered. The interior evoked a sophisticated and modern vibe, with the lighting being subtle. Reservations were made by one of our party members calling the restaurant yesterday for some of us as first-timers. Greeted by the host, a table was waiting for us. The menu merges American, Caribbean, French, and Italian cuisine, leaning toward Southern and Cajun-style dishes. As an appetizer, my partner, our friends and I decided on the corn and crab croquettes. For our main meal, we opted for Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp with Maryland Crab Meat, Jambalaya, Coq Au Vin, Organic Roasted Chicken Breast, and Linguine with Shrimp. A complimentary assortment of breads with butter started our meal, which some of us washed with French martini. The food was delicious, and the sauces were flavorful. However, there was a slight snafu with the wording of one of the items on the menu, which was brought to the manager's attention. Listed was organic roasted chicken breast served with caramelized carrots, but what was received was the breast with part of the wings and carrots not caramelized. The service was wonderful, and our server was Mohammed. It was a nice time spent, which we could recommend.“

“Amazing food i love Haitian food , there soup jumou every Sunday and saturday morning is the best, it taste just like mammi would make it at home, it's spicy yet not over doing it,savory so you can taste the time it took to cook it ,plenty of fresh beef, squash , dumplings and macaroni to go oh lala over.They make it only on Sundays and Saturday. There customer service makes me proud to be Haitian ,the ladies there are not rude bizzy but not rude. It's a bar setting so limited to no seat's.
