Red Hook Cajun Seafood (Jackson)

Not quite sure why they call it Cajun. The food isn't up to Louisiana standards. Pretty sure they precook the seafood and wait for the customer to say what seasoning they want because the meat is bland but the shells are coated in the seasoning. Never been to a restaurant where the food is served in plastic bags! The restaurant is dark and doesn't seem very clean. The waitress didn't take her time and needed to be asked for refills. And the molten chocolate cake was horrible. Not a good place to eat.

First time here. Server was ok, she wasn't overly friendly, actually not friendly at all. Didn't smile, or even ask how are you tonight or welcome us in. As a matter of fact, I didn't see any employees smile. Several were on phones though.
As for the food, I can be a little harsh when it comes to good seafood as I'm from Louisiana and my in-laws are in the Pacific Northwest so we know great seafood. This was not great, it was fair. The catfish was very "dirty" meaning you could taste the dirt taste. The fried oysters were overly breaded and the gumbo was no more than Campbell's gumbo soup. Gumbo is not supposed to be that watery. Unfortunately, for the almost $100 it cost for the three of us, this was a one and done visit.

Let me begin by saying. If you go here stick with the seafood boils. I believe that’s there specialty and what is best! I got the seafood combo fired. Oysters and catfish with Cajun fries. Fries were cold. No taste, everything was frozen. Hope to get it one more chance!

I and my group went there for the first time this evening and throughly enjoyed it! Marlena was our server and was fantastic. I got the fried shrimp and molten chocolate cake and both were delicious. Drinks and food were sent out on a timely manner and Marlena was on top taking care of us throughout our meal. We will be back sometime in the future!

Our waitress was great. Very friendly
The food on the other hand not so great. We had fish, shrimp, oysters and gator bites. The shrimp were ok but the other food tasted like it came from a grocery store box. The fish had more batter than meat. It was paper thin. The gator bites looked like crumbs from a pot. I'm sure we won't be going back

We tried this place for the first time. I ordered the catfish basket and my girlfriend ordered the shrimp basket. The shrimp was fine, but the catfish filets were the thinnest that I have ever seen. There was almost nothing to them except for the extremely dense breading. The fries were limp and soggy. I do not recommend this restaurant.
