Great food! It was unique in that the ambiance represented a bayou. Service was fast.
Cajun Steamer sounds simple, but they have a large menu of Cajun food and steamed options. Being a bar, they have a lot of drink options too. The restaurant is decorated to fit the Cajun theme. There is a sports feel with TVs mounted everywhere. The day we visited they switched from music to sound from a football game. They are located in a shopping center. Parking was plentiful and close. The service here was some of the best we've had in the area. Our server was friendly and on top of anticipating anything we'd need. Our food came out quickly. Our server kept up with service even as the restaurant filled up. The name of the restaurant made me think it was a seafood boil spot, but they have a large menu of Cajun items. They have a nice mix of fried and steamed or grilled options. One can splurge or eat sensibly here. We started with Boudin Balls which were delicious and a little spicy. My House Salad had fresh veggies. My husband had a Cajun dish that he enjoyed. I was excited to see half orders of some dishes available and went with a half order of Melvin's Blackened Chicken. This was a nice combination of caramelized onions and balsamic vinegar. The mashed potatoes were delicious. The half portion was plenty of food for me. My little one wasn't going to be able to hang in long enough for beignets, but I'm trying them next time! We left excited about this spot. There are plenty of menu options to bring us in regularly.
Sometimes I forget about this place because it's in the middle of a strip mall but if you're local and need a shrimp boil or some Cajun food, it's a good place to stop in on! We ordered the Blue Crab Claws and for some reason we pictured them differently. They were much smaller but pack a lot of flavor. It was a little more fishery than I like but it was good. Our kiddo loved the grilled cheese and fries. Really good fries! We had their shrimp basket and why we ordered half...I don't know why. We should have done the whole order. Shrimp was great and had a good breaded coating on it! Fries were delicious. Husb puppies and slaw was okay. Hurricane drink was good. Someone got a Category 5 Hurricane and that will definitely wake you up and keep you warm!
Stopped in for dinner while on a business trip in Franklin. My colleague found it and it sounded fun! We ordered the alligator bites app which I forgot to get a photo of. I'd never had alligator and wasn't sure what to expect. Deep fried - No specific flavor but very chewy incase you're wondering! It was Margarita Monday so we got margaritas. mine (on the rocks) was mostly mixer but for $5 I hadn't expected different. My colleagues frozen one he said was strong. I got salmon which was well cooked and tasty. Rice was pretty standard and broccoli was crispy not overcooked! He got the fish with seafood stuffing and said it was really good. I imagine it's a crazy place to be during an LSU game! But Monday night was perfect for an after work dinner.
Looking for a lunch spot . We love Cajun and food googled it & found Cajun Steamer, said let's go. We sat ourselves and the server Porche , who was great , explained some of the meals. We started with gator bites and they were fried but good. My main meal was Catfish Pontchartrain ,a fish dish with a crab topping on it. Think it was in the Cajun specialties menu .But it was fabulous!! Definitely having it again when we go back. The wife had grouper tacos which she enjoyed and was a good portion of 3 big tacos. They have a great sweet tea with free refills. The interior was wide open and had a really cool atmosphere. Will come back again when in the area.
Our first time eating at this restaurant. They was very busy so service was a little slow. For appetizers we ordered the fried okra, and hush puppies and they were good as well. For my meal I ordered the mahi-mahi it was good but lacked more seasoning for my taste. I ordered the red beans and rice as my side and it was very good. My daughter had the snow crab legs and she said they were good. My wife had the peel and eat shrimp and they was good as well. The star of the show was the fried cheese cake and it is AMAZING. Get it you will not be sorry.
