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.

    The service and the fried oysters were great. The three piece band added a lot to the ambiance. The bar had some good local craft beers.

    Food was delicious. Service was friendly and good. We went on a weeknight so it wasn’t very busy. There was a live band which was nice, good jazz music.

    The food was great like always. This was the 1st time my son was able to come with us and his a chef and spoke very highly of the quality of the food. Our waitress was very good and her attention to detail was excellent! I cannot remember her name but I do know it started with a “L”.’’lol! We travel from Rural Hall , NC to eat here about 4 times a year and love it every time.

    Small table, under seasoned food. Wait staff never removed plates, just kept adding until we had to flag them down to remove. Always heard great things. Just didn’t live up to the hype.
