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.

    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.

    Excellent as usual! We’ve been going to the Cajun Queen for special occasions (and sometimes just because..)for over 30 years! The quality of the food (soooo good!) and service has always been top notch. God willing we will keep going for another 30 years!!

    It was okay food wasn't anything special just any run of the mill cajun place service was average at best. The best part was the drinks they were definitely strong drinks and the oreo cheescake wasn't anything to write home about either. All in all over priced cajun place that fails to deliver on a lot

    Cajun queen is always a great experience for me and my wife we love the band. They’re always on point and the food is always good. Candice is the best server and Evelyn was amazing at keeping the area clean. We’ve been eating here for over a decade and we don’t ever plan on stopping
