Home to the flavorsome platters of South Louisiana, Cajun Queen is a converted home restaurant, the architecture of which dates back to the vintage early 18th century. A nostalgic iteration of the 1980's New Orleans greets the visiting patrons, with purple, green and golden themed décor priming the interiors at Cajun Queen. The dining experience is equally comfortable, and customers can cine in the living room, expanded restroom, sunroom or wrought iron rooftop terrace. From crawfish to seafood, gumbo to steak—the servings at Cajun Queen are a concoction of culinary choices. Fried shrimp, etouffee, blackened chicken breast, bayou platter, ribeye steak and frenbch cut pork chop are often the most ladled platters which customers like to order. Wine servings prime the bar area to complement the authentic Cajun flavors.

    Cajun queen always exceeds expectations! Staff is always so tentative and friendly. Had the etouffee last night and ended with a slice or the oreo cheesecake 😍 both were heavenly. Will be eating here again soon!

    Definitely, you need a reservation, there is plenty of parking on the street, and a vale parking. The service was very good and the food was excellent. It was a little bit noisy, and we didn't hear any b background music, even though we are in the season for Christmas and New Year. The food tasted very good, and the prices are reasonable for food, but they are a little high for drinks, especially the Alcoholic drinks. We had a good time. Thank you!

    Second time going and food was great just as the first time. Angels Envy is overpriced at $18. Fine dining restaurants don’t even charge that. Food was priced right for taste and portion.

    Service wasn’t great !! Our waitress never went over any of the menu. We had to ask for silverware. The gumbo wasn’t delivered until requested. The waitress had no personality.

    4 guys going for dinner after a Panthers game and we were happy. There’s nothing super complicated about it but there are large portions of tasty food served in a neat old house. We were somewhat unlucky with the table being seated just where people were going in and out and servers were rushing by with food and dishes, but the place was pretty full and I guess someone had to sit at that table too. Service was surprisingly attentive and quick for such a busy evening, wait time was fine and glasses were kept refilled. We will be happy to come back again.

    It was okay. We had decided to return after previous year’s experience. The food was not even close to the prior year, which was disappointing. It was bland, just not flavorful. Everyone had been there the year before and agreed it wasn’t at the same level. Servers were friendly and did what they should do.
