About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for live music
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.

    I was extremely disappointed with the seating staff at this restaurant. We specifically asked to be seated at level where the band was playing as we had gone to hear them. However hey told us it was full. Till we left we kept seeing the same staff send other parties to the level where the band played.

    I’ve been to Cajun Queen several times and this is the first time I’ve been extremely disappointed in the service and food. I had a reservation for 7pm and they seated us at the high top table by the bar. We waited for approximately 30 minutes before the bartender came to the table. The bartender (no fault of her own) was waiting tables and also taking orders on that side of the restaurant. I ordered the Etoufee with chicken, shrimp and crawfish, which was very tasty, but didn’t have any crawfish. My friend ordered the blackened catfish, which wasn’t very tasty. She changed it to fried catfish and it was delicious! I would recommend they hire additional staff to wait on the tables, instead of overworking the bartender. Not sure if I would go back.

    First time here and was pleasantly Suprised. Food was fantastic and drinks were great. Overall excellent experience. Our server Max was incredible, helpful, friendly , warm and gracious. We were very lucky. The only suggestion I have is, if there is a way to get a more blackened crust on the mahi mahi

    The food and service at Cajun Queen has always been top notch. We even got to enjoy the Jazz band while seated upstairs.

    We had a great experience, Queen. My husband’s birthday dinner was perfect and we had several modifications to our orders. The waiter was very accommodating and understanding.
