Cajun Restaurants near Gahanna, OH

“I see they have locations around town; I've been to other seafood boil places but I don't think to any of theirs. Strip-mall, unassuming from the outside, dark and "nautical" on the inside. Nice, not fancy. No frills- because you are going to be making a mess. Paper on the tables, rolls of paper towels handy. I got the basics, their standard boil, L1 I think: shrimp (no heads but peel 'em,) crab (crack 'em,) sausage, with an egg and corn cob and a potato. I could easily have eaten another corn and egg, and the potato came in handy, along with the other extras, to take a break between shoveling seafood in my mouth. Got their house seasoning, which seems like a cross between Old Bay and garlic butter. Went with medium spice; I like heat, but you just never know from place to place. They brought the bag, plus a bucket and bib and gloves. I used the bib as a precaution but would have been okay without it, perhaps by sheer luck. Gloves helped. They brought a cracker and a normal fork; I asked for a skinny fork and they brought one. Loads of food, perfectly cooked. Tender big shrimp, crab with a decent amount of meat in the legs and knuckles, lots of pretty good sausage. The flavor, and the heat, seemed lacking at first. But they both built along the way, either just in my mouth or from the food sitting in the liquid. Mmm. Very good. The heat ended up lower than a medium, I would say. But I like spice so YMMV. I would go up a notch or two next time. Service was friendly and fast, though minimal. I came right when they opened and was the only one there for a bit. Expensive, but it's seafood and a lot of it. Not quite as good as the best boil places I've been to, but pretty good, and I left stuffed with good food.“

“I booked Creole 2 Geaux catering for a last minute Holiday party. The Owner & Staff did a great job accommodating my urgent request. The process was fast, seamless, and the food was delicious. The staff was very pleased to have food a bit outside the norm! THANK YOU!“

“If you like seafood definitely have to try this place. For my first time it was very good. The shrimp and crab legs were perfect. The shrimp in the bottom was a little over cooked but I’m not complaining. It was sitting in the juice and still tasted better than most places I have tried. Well worth it for the price and I definitely will be back!“

“Great food but it's a little pricey. And I called to place an order and they said I wasn't able to place an order. They also need to update the pictures of the menu. I went to the location and ordered the Shrimp Philly thinking it was $12.99 then the lady at the window tells me $15. It would be nice if things were up to date but for the most part it's great food.“

“I'll start with I travel to Columbus from the deep South regularly so I know what a good bowl of gumbo is. Perhaps I'm a little spoiled but I want to give an honest review but, this is just my humble opinion. The two orders of Gumbo I received were watered down to a soup consistency. Gumbo in the South is thick like chowder. With a little more rue added it would have been really good. All the flavors of the South were in there and really tasty. Also the shrimp in the gumbo pictures on the website are nice and fat like gulf shrimp used down South. What I received in my 2 cups was closer to popcorn shrimp. But it was still shrimp so I was okay with it and since I was in Columbus the selection of shrimp may be limited so I suppose you have to settle somewhat for what is available in the local area. The workers were nice and told me the owner was from Bama so I knew he knows good gumbo.. The price was about the same as what I pay down South so no complaints there. I'll be passing through Columbus again in about a week or so and will stop in for a second round. Perhaps I got served from a fresh pot that didn't have time to cook down and thicken. All in all it was really tasty so give them some support by trying something of the menu and see what you think. After I try round 2 I'll upgrade my review if the gumbo is a little thicker and the shrimp is like the size pictured. If not I'll just try other things that are on the menu to see what I like best. Thanks guys and gals for offering tastes from the South way up there in Columbus.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this incredible Black-owned family business this month and I was so pleased that I got to do so with a couple of friends. We tried a number of things including etouffee, jambalaya, a po boy, mac n cheese, green beans, beignets, soup, plus a whole lot of hospitality. The dining room at their current location is teeny tiny with only a couple of 2-seater tables, but we were able to push two together to accommodate 3 of us. They're located in a strip mall and the spot doesn't look like too much from the outside, with just a walk-up window on the interior. One of the owners, Tonya, took our orders and served us and let us know that her dad, a chef of 60 years was still rockin and rollin' in the kitchen. They have been at this location for 18 years. The etouffee was a little thin, but served with 2 tasty sides and had some good flavor. The chicken and andouille jambalaya was served in a heaping portion. Each were offered with a spice level between 1-5-- we ordered both with a level 4. They had some kick to them but weren't insanely spicy. The Toni po boy was so big that we received it in two different takeout containers. 1 serving of jambalaya and 1 sandwich could easily feed 4 people a hefty meal. Instead, I'll have leftovers for days and I'm not mad about it. The po boy was filled with a salad of sorts that included black olives, lettuce, and onions-- the main element was a mixture of fried proteins including mini shrimp and chicken. It came with 2 sides of their po boy sauce. I would recommend ordering extra sauce on the side if you can. We also tried one of their soups which was actually rice topped with the soup. It was all really tasty with a red sauce base containing a mix of veggies. The beignets were airy, light, fluffy, and came in an ample serving with a TON of powdered sugar and steaming hot, as they should. The amount of food we received for the price was definitely fair, especially considering that we were eating authentic family recipes. I dined with friends who have spent a lot of time in New Orleans, (I've never been), but was told that the jambalaya and po boy were both comparable to what they'd expect to find there. We were told that they'll be moving soon and opening a new location on Long St and I can't wait to check them out when they open up the new spot in June. They'll be closing this location at the end of March or early April so check them out beforehand if you can, or bookmark them for their reopening this summer-- I highly recommend it!“
