We booked reservations on Open Table for Christmas Eve along with another family of 5. It would have been our 4 top and a separately booked 5 top. After attending Mass we show up and the doors are locked and Rajun Cajuns is closed. This is POOR management. Do you realize how disappointing this was?? And then to scramble and try and find another restaurant on Christmas Eve.... We ended up at a Mexican restaurant... Never will forget this Christmas Eve dinner experience where Rajun Cajun failed us - and we all are Louisiana natives...

Prices are insane for portion size. I visited twice. First time, tried the fish platter and it wasn’t seasoned well. Also had the crawfish dip that was a good portion size and great taste. My second visit I ordered the boudin balls and they were literally small hush puppy size with decent flavor. However, price for 4 small boudin balls at $11.25 is insane. To add, this is the small tray container to give an ideal size. These balls are slightly smaller than Captain D’s Hush Puppies.
**UPDATE with Updated photo** My original review was 9 months ago. I recently purchased the boudin balls again in Oct 2025 and these were a more reasonable size. Also judging by newer customer photos, it appears they have taken the reviews into consideration and made some changes. As a consumer, I can always appreciate a business that is open to constructive criticism and willing to make the change. For that reason I have raised the review score.

My kids and I stopped here today, and it was such a treat! I can't remember our waitress name but she was so sweet and very informative if the menu. I got a cup of the chicken and sausage gumbo and it was delicious! I also ordered the fried shrimp platter with a side of catfish. I don't care for tartar or cocktail sauce, so she recommend the Cajun dipping sauce which was SOOOO good. The shrimp were seasoned to perfection, the fries were good and seasoned BUT the catfish was a let down. No seasoning on it at all, however I do recommend the cook to season it with whatever seasonings that were on the shrimp 😊. My daughter had the kids chicken strips and corn, and she loved it. I can definitely say that I will return to try more of the menu. Oh, and the sweet tea was awesome 👍🏽

My family and I went for the first time at lunch today. We went with the intent of eating El Idolo and not knowing they had closed and new resturant (Ragin' Cajun) was there. We gave it a try. We were greeted at the door and the hostess advised us it was very loud inside (because of jazz band). Resturant was not very busy. We sat at our table for about 20 minutes and were never acknowledged. I finally had to ask a waitress that walked by if she could get someone come take our drink orders. She went to the back and we made the decision to just leave. I feared a bad experience brewing. The staff was doing more standing around talking than serving guest. Do better Ragin' Cajun.

Stopped at Ragin Cajun on a whim and got lunch. It was delicious! I had the lunch special 1/2 sandwich and soup, the roast beef Po boy and seafood gumbo with boudin balls and side of red beans and rice. It was definitely too much food for one person but worth it for leftovers! One of the servers walked by and said oh is it good? I said yep! she said yeah I heard you said mmmmm when you bit into the sandwich 😂 Ashley was the bartender and server and was great! Oh and the Rougarou drink!

This place is amazing!!! Wish I could give it 10 stars. Ashley and Sabrina are wonderful and very friendly. The whole staff is great. Red beans and rice are some of the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back and I highly recommend Rajun Cajun!

🙂We've been there about 5 times now. I keep going back for the Crawfish Etouffee and other dishes. We're from New Orleans and know good NOLA food when we find it. The PO-BOYs are made with real French bread and the shrimp and oysters are properly seasoned (though the size of the over-stuffed sandwich is on the small side compared to some NOLA restaurants). The Muffuletta is larger and tastes great. The stand out dish for me is the excellent Crawfish and Andouille pasta! Rich and flavorful. The gumbo is 'okay' for restaurant gumbo but I pass on it - get the Etouffee instead! (no restaurant outside of NOLA, and very few in the city, can be as good as mom's home made gumbo.)
The spice level is low on all the dishes so no worries for anyone with a sensitive pallet.
The casual atmosphere has a good vibe and the staff is eager to please. They also have Abita Amber on tap! Haven't been there for brunch yet but I understand they have bottomless Mimosas!
Finally, save room for the white chocolate bread pudding. SOOOO GOOD! Served hot and pretty much perfect!

I was amazed at their red beans and rice. I haven't had anything this good in Memphis. The seasoning was spot on. I was raised on the Mississippi coast and I can tell you this is great Cajun food.
