Papa Boudreaux's Cajun Cafe is a highly recommended restaurant for a special occasion, known for its exceptional Cajun food and massive portions. The etouffee and redfish are must-tries, with the redfish being the reviewer's best fish experience. Beignets are a standout dessert, even better than those at Cafe DuMonde. Reservations are required, and cash is the only accepted form of payment. It is widely regarded as the best Cajun restaurant in Tennessee and a must-visit in Nashville.
This cozy little house-looking building on the side of a country road offers an unforgettable experience, not just a meal. The food is fresh, not too spicy, and served hot off the stove. Must-try dishes include the Gospel Creole, Boudin Balls (hot and crispy!), and Oyster shooters. The gumbo and etouffee are also very good. The place is small, with only about 10 tables, and fills up fast. BYOB is allowed for beer and wine. While the atmosphere is friendly, the staff’s casual vibe might surprise some. Despite its quirks, the food lives up to the hype—damn good and worth the drive.
