Best Cajun Restaurants in Mount Vernon Square

Although they do not take reservations, we were able to get a seat and the food was good. I’ve been to other locations but this one had the best food and service.

We were here on a Saturday night, and pleased that it was busy but not deafeningly loud. I love the atmosphere and food at this place. The “hurricane” I ordered had little to no alcohol in it… I didn’t complain, but think that’s not really fair at $12. Otherwise, all good!

We had such a fun time celebrating my husband’s birthday at Milk & Honey. Our server was great and recommended two delicious meals for us, the berry french toast and chicken & Biscoff waffles. We went for brunch and they had a DJ who played really good music. The whole restaurant was a vibe 🤌🏼✨

Roxy was an amazing server. Engaged and made us feel like we were regulars. Food was delicious. Lively atmosphere and apparently happy hour is a draw, which will we find if true out another time.

My goodness, the roux--it is perfect, making the gumbo the best I've had outside of NOLA and H-town in years. That alone made the meal. Also loved the hush puppies (who knew). For my main the pork tender was perfectly cooked and beautifully matched with mustard cream. My friend had the short rib, which I tried and loved. The only misfire was the strawberry shortcake, which was too sweet, breading too dense, and only one strawberry. My friend's bread pudding was superb. The service was excellent, water refilled consistently, food arrived at a nice pace. Kudos to Dauphine's, I'll be back with a cajun spring in my step. Thank you!
