I hadn’t been here in years and it did not disappoint. Had the seafood gumbo and it was delicious. For my main entree’ I had fried shrimp and fries. Everything was delicious and the staff were nice, quick and took really good care of me. If you want an alternative to Pappadeux, Willie G’s etc., come to Rajun Cajun and guess what you’re not going to spend a million dollars and the food will still be flavorful and delicious.

Server was like some Diner waitress. She was short, curt and frankly rude. When my stepdad who’s suffering from cancer asked what size a cup of soup is and gestured with his hands, she sighed and said “It’s eight ounces.” And in the most put off, exasperated tone. He clearly was wanting her to show the size with her hands, instead she gives the literally ounces in a cup…. There are lots of restaurants whose cup’s of soup are more or less than an actual measured...

It's been decades since I've eaten here. Great fried seafood. Reasonable prices.

Great happy hour. Ordered a bootie of Malbec for $20.

Service was attentive, helpful, and cheerful.
