  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Great food. Service was ok. Our main waitress could have been more attentive. There were a couple groups that were loud. Once they left we could hear the band.

    What made the experience special were the conversations with the couples next to us. It was a joy.

    Server was pleasant but overwhelmed with amount of tables. We have went here for over 30 years and was seated on patio for the first time. It was very out dated, cold, and not romantic at all as we had planned for Valentines. The day was unbalanced and my husband had to sit at a very small table across for me. Ordered a drink when they brought our food and didn’t receive it until we were ready to leave. Just sent it back. Not worth returning.

    Fantastic experience as always. For seating, request downstairs for a quieter experience and upstairs to really hear the music! Our server Angie/Angela was amazing. Try the French 75, light and refreshing and deep with flavor. We love Cajun Queen! One reminder— bring a few bucks to tip the complimentary valet!

    My wife and I started with barbecue shrimp and fried oysters. We pinch the bread into small pieces and place into the bbq shrimp to soak up the sauce! We both had the gumbo. For our entre we (shared $5 upcharge so we each had our own plate) the blackened mahi mahi on a bed of rice with the crawfish and sun dried tomato topping! So so good!!!! We get the same thing everytime we go to the Cajun queen. Very romantic setting downstairs in the fireplace room❤️
