Reviews of Cajun Kitchen
Food was excellent and the prices were some of the lowest we’ve seen for crab.
We got a pound of snow crab, pound of king crab, half pound of mussels, and half pound of shrimp with potatoes and corn for just over $100. As you can see we demolished the entire bag.
If your plate doesn’t look like a war zone, you’re doing it wrong.
The inside is very clean and lots of seating, although when we were there it was completely empty. We would go back again.
I got fried catfish with cajun-flavored fries and hush puppies, while my wife got a seafood boil selection with the mixed blend of all spices. It's not quite as good as an authentic seafood boil you'd get in Georgia or Louisiana, but still very good food and service, reasonably priced, and relatively unique cuisine for the West Metro. We'll probably go there again. Also not sure why Fox News was playing on the big screen at an immigrant-run business with such a diverse clientele, but it's a sign that the food is so delicious that no one seems to notice or care.
The best place for quality and awesome food at very reasonable prices. Impress your spouse or date with a wonderful seafood boil. Seafood steamed in a bag. Bib required (Smile) I personally recommend the lunch duo of Shrimp (no head) and sausage with a bowl of white rice to mix in. Plump shrimp and sausage with corn on the cob and baked potato and broccoli. All for under $20.00 so worth it. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean!
The restaurant is in an old building that used to be a Wendy's, they re-renovate it and made it looked more appealing on the inside. Lots of coastal decoration to give you that feeling that you're somewhere tropical.
Went on mother's day and they were really busy but they did get the food out on a timely manner. Everything was good and tasted fresh (for MIDWEST). The sauce had a kick and was very flavorful. Price was reasonable for the combos and of course some stuff are market price.
Y'all know I'm all about some good seafood. Cajun Kitchen did not disappoint. I been away for 5 +yrs so to see all the seafood joints popping up in Minnesota was very exciting. They staff was fast and friendly. The price was good for a landlocked state and the specials were an even better deal for multiple people to share. The seasoning was on point, just the right amount of heat and the broccoli 🥦 was a "chef kiss" amazing addition, so juicy and delicious. This is definitely my new spot to eat when I'm back in the Sota.
Ordered 2 of their weekly special for 46.99 each and it came with 2 cluster snow crab legs, 1 pound of headless shrimp, sausages, 4 corn, and 2 potatoes with their special combo sauce in medium and it was soooo good. My sister had the same thing in mild and she liked the medium better. Also got cajun fries on the side which was also flavored really well & not too salty like some places. For a weekly special and the portion they give, I thought this was a steal. The customer service was also amazing a quick!
Went with some friends and had a great time! Service was extremely quick, got drinks less than two minutes and I swear food in less than five. Got the spicy combo for two and it was delicious, as well as reasonably priced for two people. Would definitely go again. Highly recommend.
Discovered this place during a solo business trip, ended up eating a memorable meal of two lbs of seafood in my underwear at the hotel (wore the gloves of course). Would do it again! Thanks Cajun kitchen.
I really like their Chef Special.
The lobster, crab, sausage, corn, potatoes all blend seamlessly with the spices to create a fantastic meal. My family and I love the food here.
Stop in and give it a try. You’ll be glad you did.
Let me just start out and say… THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! The place inside is very urban, decorated and very clean which is not really expected from places that sell seafood. They have very speedy service. The waiters are so nice, they always check up on you, they always refill and ask if you’re okay. You get a bucket to throw your shells in when you eat and they even give you a bib, not only that they have reasonable prices and the seafood is 100% FRESH I’m telling you it felt like heaven eating here. Not only that they didn’t overcook the seafood I had either which is awesome. The meat was tender and the sauce is to die for!! I would def recommended getting medium for the spice level, it was a slow secret heat coming on when you ate but wasn’t bad. Also my boyfriend said the fried seafood wasn’t soggy and NOT OILY at all. it was very crispy and delicious. The place also has a ATM inside so don’t worry! it was also very convenient that they had a little wash area for after you eat when your hands are dirty. They also provide a lot of napkins and paper towels at the booth and tables. I HIGHLY recommend going to this place and giving it a try at least once. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed coming here and WILL be returning.
I love this place! Very unassuming place with delicious food. I put this right at the top of the list for favorites in Twin City dining. I decided to treat myself to the Chefs Special - Seafood Delux....I was not disappointed. They give you a choice of mild, medium, or spicy and I went with medium. It was a delightful slow, sneaky heat. I really enjoyed it all and will definitely be returning.
Awesome Cajun. Order the chicken strips, Cajun fries and a custom boil. The chicken and fries were very good. The boil had shrimp, sausage, and snow crab. All boils come with potatoes, sweet corn and broccoli. Broccoli was a surprise and actually nice add to a Cajun boil. DO NOT let the exterior appearance of the restaurant fool you. The interior of the restaurant is newly renovated, clean, and has comfortable seating for parties of all sizes. Service was very good. This is a must stop restaurant if you are in the area.
First time and the service and their patience was awesome. The food is delicious and the portions are well worth the money. 3 cajun places opened up and this is the best one hands down. The establishment was clean, the staff attentive and best of all the food. We definitely have a new favorite.
Great food, always my first choice to get a seafood boil. The only thing I think could use some improvement is customer service. We were placed somewhere without getting asked where we’d like to be seated and the place was not busy. Also, our menus were tossed on the table..
You gotta try this place.
There is a group of folks with whom we enjoy authentic cajun (HOT, not Minnesota hot, but really hot). We have been looking for a place that can do really good and fresh seafood. We walked in and were impressed by how clean this place is.
We tried a variety from the menu. The fried food is just what it should have been. The guy sitting next to me ordered a boil. He had one shrimp he couldn't eat. I helped. It was really hot and tasty.
Service was very friendly. Good value on the food. Probably the most reasonable prices seafood around.
Great service! Flavorful food and reasonable prices!!!
Restaurant is located in a building that was previously a fast food restaurant, and you would never know! They did a great job making it their own space!
Clean, good lighting and plenty of space!
We have now been there 2x and both times, they were fairly busy, but it did not affect the service.
We will definitely be back!
Really nice staff and good food. I got the shrimp basket since I wasn't prepared for the higher prices. And it was GREAT! We will be back.
Prices are a bit high so it's not a place to eat regularly. However once in awhile it's a yummy treat!
Staff are very friendly and servicenis quick. We really enjoy this restaurant and appreciate all the hard work.
Phenomenal seafood boil I really enjoyed the spice they add to theirs. One of my new favorite dishes to eat glad I got one close to me
They serve very delicious seafood meals. And the price is not so expensive. I am glad my friend brought me here
Delicious food and fast service. Had the chef's special - seafood deluxe with mildly spicy garlic butter. I like somewhat spicier food than my friends and this had a bit of kick to it.... Please be sure to ask for "no spicy" if you are on the fence.
The make your own combo was good. It is fun to have it arrive in the inflated bag, open it and reveal the yummy food inside. It also comes with plastic gloves and a large plastic bib. The fried shrimp basket was great.
Best seafood place I’ve been to. I always order the chefs special and the sauce is flavorful and on point. Which you get a taste of everything. I highly recommend this place for seafood boil.
If you like seafood, you're going to love this place. And don't let the "Cajun" scare you off, they have all levels of spice, including None for you Minnesota lightweights. The combos are served in a plastic bag (see my pic) and you get a bib and gloves so you can tear, shuck, and otherwise disassemble the food till you're left with the good stuff. A great dollar value for all the food you get. There are also basket options of fried shrimp, catfish, etc. The hushpuppies are made of lammas bread, just one will fill your stomach, so don't eat all ten like I did.
I feel like the portion sizes are decreasing (a half pound of crab is definitely not one half of one crab's body) but still very delicious!
My chicken strips were crunchy and delicious!
AMAZING food. 10/10 would eat again. Great customer service. The seasoning on their boils are so good and exactly like when I lived in Texas. Will be back.
This place is amazing. Their seafood boils are absolutely delicious. We always get the chef's special so we can get a bit of everything. The calamari app comes with the best sweet chili dipping sauce I've ever had. Also extremely quick service.
Great food and decent proces for snow crab. Service was prompt and polite.
Food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Prices are a little high, but I think it's worth it. Will definitely be going back!
Great cajun food, eat in or takeout. Staff friendly and polite. Seafood was fresh. Definitely will go back.
Simply AMAZING. The host/waitress was amazing. She constantly checked in on us, made sure our drinks were full, and got us anything we needed. The food... The food is amazing. I ordered softshell crabs and a catfish fry, while my wife went all in with the seafood supreme. It warms my heart to see my wife lost in eating so much awesome food.
This place was so good! I had missed Joe's crabshack when it closed. I found a new favorite!!! Their crab boil with corn and a potatoe was delicious. I will be going back often. Highly recommend
First time choosing this place, as compared to other cajun places the food quality is below average. Dry shrimp, and crawfish they're not soaked in sauce like other places. Very clean and bigger than most but food quality just wasn't there, the corn size was half of what one would usually get at other places. I'd say if you want a good dining experience go here since it's big and clean, but food quality definitely try the other ones around the area.
A+
Well versed menu.
Fast service.
Great prices.
Excellent quality.
Hits the marks !
Super Good Food and A Nice Portion ...to die for ..I had the shrimp and crab Boil.
First time to try this place ever. Will not be the last! It is super delicious! It is clean and the wait staff is really polite.
This is one of the best sea food places in Minnesota if I had to rank the service and food there wouldn't be enough starts to. But for now will say 5 starts ☺️☺️☺️😉
You can not go wrong all the food is well season and good.
Great food , only one thing wish they made there fries fresh instead of frozen.
Love the inside. Food needs more flavor and less oil. Good customer service. Fair priced.
Super tasty seafood. I love shrimp and they have a great shrimp boil. Makes me feel like I’m in New Orleans
So good! I don't often rate 5 stars but it was such a great experience. Everyone was friendly and attentive. We ordered one of their specials (similar to the seafood deluxe) and some additional crab legs for our family with the Cajun kitchen special sauce. I thought the sauce was perfect. The prices are reasonable for the quantity And quality of Seafood you're getting.
Some of the best Seafood I've had in a very long time and it's super affordable I would highly recommend it.
Good price for the amount you get. Friendly staff & quick service.
I love this place they have the best seafood
If I’m honest, we went here for the first time this weekend and when we pulled up to the building the outward appearance made me second guess. The pictures in the windows were faded and it looks like a very old converted office building on the outside. But that saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” totally applies here. And I’ve never been happier to have been wrong. When we walked in the place was clean and there was an obvious attempt to refresh the space. That being said, a good meal isn’t about the ambiance, THE FOOD. The food is incredible, I’ve only had seafood this good one other time at Grand Catch in Saint Paul for triple the price. The apps were amazing, the service was great, and the seafood boil was incredible. This place is clearly owned by very hardworking people who have a passion for cooking and customer service, and that’s why you visit a restaurant isn’t it? I couldn’t recommend highly enough and we will be going back for more delciousness.
I ordered the Chef's Special and everything in that meal was delicious however the crab was lackluster. The legs were small and had little or no meat in them. This was a total disappointment!! The side of hush puppies were good. I wouldn't recommended getting any crab legs but I would dine here again. The restaurant was clean and the food came quickly. They could use a little background music to drown out other conversations. They have booths and tables to dine on. There was plenty of parking and handicap spaces available.
The food was hot and fast. A large variety of people whom were well behaved. The food was fresh.
I've had better experiences here and tonight wasn't a good one. Crab legs were overcooked which caused them to be to soft. Meat stuck inside and when I brought it up to the staff they looked at me as if I was lying.
The crab legs are really good, and the shrimp with no head, my only problem was that the lemon pepper wings were very salty, and it made my blood pressure go up, and I told the lady about it, she told me to order the plan ones, or barbeque next time. They are really, really nice people, but I did not like the fact that she did not even take anything off due to them being salty. But I paid for it, but I don't recommend getting the lemon pepper ones if you have blood pressure issues. Again the other food here is really tasty, this is a really nice place to eat at with friends, and family, the people are so kind. This is my 1st time ever having an issue with anything from here. And the only other thing that I did not like is that when a croud of people came in, they were not checking back to make sure we were ok.
Had the Cajun Boil and was almost to much to eat. Ordered it Medium spicy and was not over powering a nice heat. Did make my companions head sweaty and, my nose run a little. Perfect.
Wonderful addition to my search for great food. The Cajun Kitchen met all my expectations for a crawfish and shrimp boil. I was able to get 1/2 pound of crawfish and 1/2 pound of head-on shrimp with corn, potatoes and broccoli for $17. Delicious food, just right amount of heat that allows you to enjoy the flavor.
Well done, I'll be there again soon!
Exquisite. About $40/$50 a boil if you want the good stuff
Me and my boyfriend had it for New Year’s and it was still one of the best Cajun crab and lobster place in Minnesota. My family also ordered it for my graduation party and everyone was blown away just make sure to SHAKE THE BAG
Food is always fresh and crab legs are always decent size
The seafood boil is very delicious & filling. They give plenty of food for the price & have great customer service if you dine in !
Really nice family restaurant, great seafood. Reminds us of the Crab Pot in Seattle. You should try it!
Disappointed that I have waited this long to finally pay a visit. We had the Seafood Deluxe, Fried Shrimp, and a couple of soups for a very reasonable price. Both the fried and boiled shrimp were very fresh and tasty, some of the best I've ever had from such seafood joints. The value you get here is much better than what you'll get compared to Red Lobster. We had the Cajun House special sauce for our Seafood Deluxe, and was amazing.
Food was amazing
They offer a few selections of beers and wine which is a huge plus for me.
Service was excellent and they are so polite
Prices are a little on the high end for the "get your hands dirty" items, but they do offer weekly specials. The basket item prices are fair.
The place itself is very clean, decoration is beautiful, and its definitely a treat yo self type of place. I can see myself coming here once a month or more.
I didnt care for the lobster tail but enjoyed the rest
Never disappointed and have good serving sizes
The fried seafood was great. The quantity was poor. I had so many fries and hush puppies and barely any fish and shrimp. The 2 pieces of catfish was actually 1 piece of catfish divided. A total rip off in that aspect.
I'll fry it myself next time.
I LOVED 😍 ♥️ THEIR SEA 🌊 FOOD AND CUSTOMER SERVICES 😋. THEY'RE EXCELLENT & FRIENDLY WORKERS. ABOVE ALL THE FOOD IS EXCELLENTLY DELICIOUS 😋 😍 😜 😊 😀 👌 THANKS HOPEFULLY YOU'LL LOVE IT.
Nice decor, clean tables, friendly service, pretty good food and flavor. Definitely recommend if you need a cajun fix.
The seafood is delicious and prepared with care. We ordered seafood by the pound and a basket of chicken strips. An unexpected special touch was broccoli along with corn & potatoes in our seafood. I really enjoyed the squid & head-on shrimp. The chicken was delicious as well, my husband’s favorite dish.
Best Gumbo I've had in a very long time. Catfish combo, nicely seasoned. Would go again.
Love it!! Great food and awesome service
The restaurant is very clean. The seafood is extremely fresh. Cajun kitchen is worth the trip...bring your appetite!!!!
I enjoyed myself and I will return with my first visit. But after the crab legs they would cooked a little bit long. So I plan to return it just get 2 lb of shrimp with no head. Thank you for the experience I will be back
First time trying them. It was pretty good. I Enjoyed every last bit. I had the shrimp no heads. In garlic butter no heat. So, Yummy..... I also got the king snow crab in house sauce and mild. That flavor on them crab legs. The mild was just right. I definitely coming back for more.
Wow. Thoroughly impressed. We stopped here for dinner a few nights ago, and this might be the best seafood I've ever had. My wife and I split the seafood boil (can't remember the name of it, but it was $35), and it was more than enough food for 2 people. The seasoning was incredible, and the seafood was super fresh. We will be going back on a regular basis. Such a great addition to Crystal!
Had the crawfish. As a native CAJUN, I could tell they were precooked and seasoned after. That's ok they were still good to eat. Feb-Apr is season for good crawfish. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. I suggest the fried dinners.
The food here is delicious, the crab legs, lobster, shrimp, are the best. I love the potatoes, corn, and sausage, never can get enough.
We also had the hush puppies, yummy.
If you want some good seafood and other delicious food, try Cajun kitchen.
One if the things I also like it's so close to home and the prices are reasonable.
This place has a very quiet atmosphere even with the high ceiling. The food is amazing and the service was great too. I’m not aware of many Cajun restaurants in Minneapolis so this place is a nice change of pace from the usual.
Very great service food, always is ready on time when I pick and tastes so great for the right price. I eat here two times a week if not more then that. Would like a rewards program like punch cards for eating here so much but it wouldn’t lose my business if they didn’t. Have not ate inside but very good atmosphere and very clean surroundings. I give them 100 stars and will see they soon.
Yummy food and great service. Seafood boils don’t get better than this.
SEAFOOD DELUXE BOTH TIME REVIEW: I want to give them a 2.5 but I can’t so I’ll say a 3 because it is higher than a 2. But here’s my experience with them: I moved here about 3 years ago from the west side. I was excited because someone had recommended them a few months in being here so I did .. very oily to the point the seasoning wasnt really on the seafood boil itself but at the bottom of the bag.. when getting to the bottom and being able to dip the seafood in the sauce it was ~mwuah~ chefs kiss.. fast forward haven’t been here since covid lockdown and I wanted seafood for my bday august 2021 was looking at recent reviews and got skeptical but did it anyways .. and I just want to confirm .. the food is still amazing!! BUT! The online menu is NOT correct and they def skimp you on the seafood .. my crab was all ligaments and thin and small and my lobster tail was of a baby lobster! Had to be .. so food good, but bring a scale w you! (Jokes but yea just my honesty here w a grain of salt!)
Can I give 10 stars?! I don’t even write reviews but I had to for this place. I’ve driven past this place several times and not thought much about it. Today, my boyfriend stopped to get food. He went in and ordered food to go while I waited outside. I wasn’t really hungry and didn’t get anything. When we got home I tried his fish. Ohhhhhmy! I am not kidding when I say we fought over this food. It was heavenly. We have both vowed to never buy catfish from anywhere else. When I tell you this food was touched by the hands of God himself, I mean it. I had to write a review so other people would go eat there, because I really need them to stay open so I can continue to enjoy this food for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to go back!
Very nice sit down area, nice staff wonderful seafood boil. Had a great deal for$40... crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn.... our new boil place... used to be cajun deli, but they got them beat. Love that we can actually sit down comfortably and eat and food was amazing.
We had the boiled shrimp. Cajun seasoning. Mild. Came with corn and potatoes. We also included steamed rice, perfect pairing. Very reasonable price for a pound of shrimp meal. Delicious.
Food is great, customer service is great!
My husband and I ordered the Seafood Deluxe with Cajun Kitchen Special for the seasoning and extra hot for the spice. I wasn't sure of the spice levels and asked for a sample of the medium and hot. They brought out the two samples no issue and we ended up going with the extra hot. We like alot of spice. This will definitely be a regular place we come back to again and again.
I had to leave an update. We have been ordering from here since before COVID. The last time we ordered $150 worth of food on 9/13 for family and we got less food than we ordered. The pieces of seafood were significantly reduced for the same price. The last time we ordered was 7/7 and several times before that including dining in. The taste is still amazing but this was alarming. Below is my review from the summer of 2019.
Previous 5 star review
I absolutely loved this place. I love seafood and had traveled to the East Coast recently and was looking for a similar experience and this place did not disappoint. The food was tasty, we ordered the hot level and it felt like medium for non-Minnesotans. We did the seafood combo and skipped appetizers and dessert and were stuffed. The snow crab legs were meaty and juicy. The crawdads were so flavorful and the shrimp, sausage and squid were delicious. I’m a transplant to Minnesota so I’m happy to have found this place. I can’t wait to bring my visitors here. And yes the place is clean and the service is gracious and fast.
Ordered via Bite Squad. Figured I'd give it a try. Ordered the shimp basket. Says you get eight but got nine, all of which were perfectly cooked. Great spicy fries too. Had the gumbo. Very good as well. Also ordered the 1/2 pound sausage. Very pleasant flavor and was surprised to find it came with potato, corn on the cob and brocolli. All good. I am from the south and have visited Cajun country for years because I love great Cajun food. This is the best I have had in the Twin Cities in years and I've tried them all..
There seafood boil bag is delicious!!! I highly recommend
If this place was 2,000 miles south of Crystal it would probably be decent.
They were great shrimp with head ordered 10 pound of them for a party and they came through plus two extra pounds on the house if you don't want to cook lol it getting hot lady's a gentleman call ahead for your order from mild to hot to spicy with corn and potatoes 😋 will be back for more
The food was delicious - hot and fresh.
Food was very, very good. Service wasn't all that great. Waitress was more worried about our money than she was clearing things out of the way and making sure we had everything we need. Looking forward to see all the great things they will add to their menu. And hoping to see more alcohol choices besides beer and eine.
My husband and I tried this place out for the 1st time and it was better than we expected. It was also our 1st time trying a seafood boil. It tasted fresh, was seasoned well, was enough to feed 3 adults and a 5yr old (2 weekend specials) the front end was clean, nice atmosphere.The only reason for the 4 star review is because we also had the fried oyster basket and I believe they were pre-packaged breaded oysters.
My first time being here. Food was really good. I ordered some catfish, fried okra and shrimp. I am excited to try the seafood boil next time I come
I was shocked and amazed at how good this food was..
My husband and I was blown away..
I did not think it was gonna be good, especially because of the area..
But service was amazing and food was so amazing..
That is all we ate and we didn't feel full, but satisfied and didn't feel hungry for the rest of the day..
Wonderful food and lots of it. The flavors were amazing. The only reason I wouldn’t give this place 5 stars on this visit was because the wait staff attempted to pull us into some of their drama over who’s table we were at. Hard to enjoy a meal when one server tells you not to accept service from anyone but him then never checks back in. 🤷🏻♀️ The food was great and we’ll probably give this place a 2nd try.
So delicious! I ordered pickup and they had it ready for me ten minutes after I called. The spice level was perfect and the sauce was amazing!
Tried Cajun Kitchen today just on a whim. I noticed Cajun deli was closed mondays and I came across this little establishment. I have to say I’m VERY pleased with this place. I will definitely be a returning customer from now on ! I adore the lemon pepper, Cajun shrimp. I got the spice medium. But all together it was amazing.
It was very impressed with the cleanliness. The food was
Exceptional we really enjoyed it.
They have all kind of prices so
If you want to go big you can or
They have very reasonable prices. Dont judge by exterior
Appearance. Inside looked great.
Bomb! Literally the best.... there is a knock off version of this place called Cajun Boiling in Minneapolis.... can’t compare. Cajun Kitchen taste the best. Always full after, never scrawny lobster or crab. Now we’re in quarantine and we STILL have made this a part of our regular eats! Love it!!!!!
I am in love with this place. From the portion, the price to the flavorful seasoning; everything is just perfect. Customer service is wonderful here as well. They get you seated down quickly and also take your order in a fast, professional way. So glad they opened up close to where I live!!!
The food is good but when I walked in to order the 2 people ignored me while they had a personal conversation for about 2-3 minutes. And the big windows above the door are terribly spray painted in black paint.
Highly recommended. The food was excellent, and being able to watch and interact with the staff as they prepared the food definitely enhanced the experience. Simply the best!!
I got 2 clusters of crabs, 1lb of shrimp & 1/2lb of sausage on special. The seasoning and crab was good though from the look of the shells they were old. Shrimp were good but not peeled. Sausage was very rubbery and not fresh. Corn was over cooked potatoes were undercooked. To my suprise it came with broccoli, it was good but very soggy. I'll have to give them another try but at this point I think I prefer Cajun Deli.
Great place for seafood.....probably would've passed it by except that someone I know went there and said how nice it was inside and how good the food was. So true! Most of the seafood is served in a giant steam bag and comes with corn on the cob, broccolli and small red potatoes. Huge portions and deliciously seasoned!! Great hushpuppies too! Check it out, you'll be pleasantly surprised!!
It was my first time here. Great food for great price! Will be coming back here again. The service was phenomenal and fast. The inside is clean and very friendly. Enjoyed it very much! Definitely recommend!
Very good food, a decent sized portion of each as well. Very open restaurant as well so you don't feel crammed. The service is also good here, the waitress was very helpful. The manager even ran out to our car after we had forgotten something inside to make sure we didn't leave it behind.
Cajun Kitchen is AMAZING! They offer incredible seafood boil platters. If you enjoy seafood with lots of butter, I can't express enough how good they are and how worth your time it is to check it out!
First time here and was not disappointed. Had the Snow crab with all the seasons and medium heat. Little on oily side but over all good.
Sea food Broil, the garlic butter season with extra hot was amazing, guna be there soon again!
the fish could not swim, it was dead. yet swimming still in garlicky sauce. delicious. poetic. nice service, quirky decor, full of flavor. i recommend the broccoli. it was filling for body and soul.
Amazing people and awesome food 😋...I think I am hooked, I am there almost every weekend.....mmmmm love their spice …
Instead of choosing what they have on default for menu selection, they had a option where you choose what foods you want to have for your order.
Men's bathroom looks clean.
Food was good!
They were curious and the food arrived quickly! When I say I wanted to eat my arm, I mean this food was fabulous! I got the crab and shrimp boil with the cajun kitchen special sauce!..... all I can say, we wanted to go back the next day, and I'm sad I changed everyone's mind. This place changed my seafood experience. Until I see you again, thank you!
Hubby and I were excited to see a cajun restaurant open closer to home. Decided to wait several months to see their ratings/reviews first.
We finally tried it last night. We were hoping to smell an aroma of garlicky butter and cajun seasoning as we walked in, but did not smell anything. That scared me a bit. Wasn't sure what I was getting myself into at this point. But the restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated and the staff were all very polite and willing to help us right away.
We ordered 2lbs of shrimp. Both seasoned with their own cajun kitchen special seasoning. One pound hot and one pound mild. The hot tasted slightly less than a mild and the mild was more like a seasoned garlic butter with a small amount of cajun seasoning added. The sauce had no thickness from the seasoning, a bit on the watery side, and had an over powering taste of lime.
The okay food combined with the great staff calls for a second chance.
Delicious food, great customer service, welcoming, and very clean!!! Definitely my new favorite Cajun place to eat. And OMG, the broccoli in the boils is to die for...I always order extra to dip in the sauce!! Since I’ve tried it, I’ve been going weekly. Lol!
Updates.
Totally worth the money. Price is reasonable & definitely the spicy hit the spot.
This spot is my favored. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this place I go the most. The crew is very helpful and the cuisine they place on your table is so flavorful. I never miss an opportunity to have a good meal in this restaurant. Highly recommended.
I love seafood so it was perfect. I love the all spice, the food was good. But even if you are not a seafood person they serve chicken and other thing as well. Great experience as well.
Went here for lunch and it was DELICIOUS! The waitress was very nice and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food. I was sad when my flavor adventure was over, but will be back for sure!
The flavors were all very good food was delicious my only complaint was at the crab legs were very skinny and small other than that it was good experience
lOVE LOVE lOVE Cajun kitchen, CLEAN! The staff are amazing and friendly. For a reasonable price the portions are satisfying 🥰 fried blue crab 🦀 on the appetizers menu is my go to! We also love the crab legs , crawfish 🦞 calamari & lobster tail! And the fact that they throw and boil eggs and broccoli oh my God amazing please don’t ever switch up!
So good!!! The special is bomb. Potatoes, shrimp, corn, crab, broccoli and the sauce. Best boil around!!
Amazing food and service! Will be back!
Best Cajun shop in mn by far
Food is great and not really expensive. I like fried shrimp and cajun fries combo. It's like 12 bucks and there good fat shrimp. Wish the to go cup was a little bigger.
Let start by saying that the restaurant is spotless, including condiments. I was there when they were opening. The server was wiping down booths, condiments, tables, etc. This has only been opened a short time so I'm guessing still going thru "growing pains". I ordered the fried oysters with cajun fries. Fries were fabulous-crispy & flavorable. Oysters, not my favorite. Very heavy batter. That's on me, not a big fan of a lot of batter. Now let me tell you that there were 2 gentlemen who ordered the boiled lunch special & were super happy! Apparently, the no head shrimp with boiled veggies & cajun spice is just like eating in New Orleans. Definitely, I will go back to try what they had.
I have since been back for the Shrimp Boil lunch & was absolutely fabulous! Service was again terrific. My grandaughter also loved it!
The food was really good. The dipping sauces, the breading/batter used. Everything tasted great. I had chicken tenders, shrimp, catfish and Cajun fries
As someone who lives local to this restaurant I'm always excited to find exceptional food. This restaurant did not fail to miss the mark, and I would be shocked if it didn't explode with growth. Keep up the good work guys!
Amazing food!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves seafood. They have a few non sea food items as well.
The best restaurant ever. If u have gone u should. I tipped $10 today at wife b day. I never do but here I did. U won't regret it. Seriously
Did a pickup and the catfish was delicious
Food was fresh and good. They won't let you take your drink to go for some reason.
It was good to find some spice level beyond Minnesota nice. The potatoes were boiled to perfection and all the seafood seemed fresh. It was a good value and tasted great.
We had 2 lbs of crawfish and 1 lb of no head shrimp. Shrimp was easy peel. It was good. Will go back for more.
Cozy and Clean. Great social distancing wonderful staff
Great seafood boil. I got the extra spicy but did not really taste the spice until the next day. It was worth the trip to crystal. Look forward to trying it again.
Very tasty and delicious seafood. I love their sauce. The servers were friendly too.
SUPER delicious! made for great leftovers. crab legs spendy but to be expected
Better than expected! They provide big portions and for affordable rates. I enjoyed the meals a lot and the staff members were super personal and informative. Recommended!
The variety of dishes were surprisingly amazing. The Cajun spices used were impressive. Would recommend it any day.
It was not that good. Great customer service. But Catfish was small pieces and super mushy and greasy.
Ordered some chicken with some apps and sides, great food! Was very impressed by the portions and quality for the price. Definitely will be going back soon.
Ordered our food to go,it was hot,seasoned well and delicious!!!The service was courteous and prompt.Now,one of our special places to frequent,especially on special occasions.Thanks Cajun Kitchen!!!Keep up the great work!!!
It's a very good place to get Cajun seafood along with a great price! Thank you so much when we don't have the time to cook for ourselves.
The food was AMAZING!! Seasoning was on point, seafood was fresh. The shrimp was very easy to peel even while holding a baby. I will DEFINITELY be going back
Beautiful place and The food here is Delicious.Take my Family all the time.They even have corn with their sauce and its Delicious.Great place for seafood lover .
Great place! The customer service was great the food was amazing with great flavors to choose from. I would definitely recommend Cajun Kitchen to my family and friends.
Now I’ve tried a lot of seafood places in Minnesota, but this one hands down has to be the best. Nice flavors decent size portions & not as expensive as other places I’ve been . My favorite new spot !
Seafood boil here is the best
Great Cajun boi restaurant. I loved the flavors and they have squid/calamari as an option in the boil which I thought was novelle around here. The prices were decent too. I will definitely visit again to try different combinations.
I wish they had dungeness crab available more often.
Awesome food! We order by the pound for what we would like. Food is always on point. Definitely ordering again and again !
Omg! That sauce!! The service was fast the restaurant is clean, they make sure you're happy! I will definitely come back. I highly recommend if you looking for the boil satisfaction.
The best seafood boil with great prices! This is my go to spot if I want seafood with just the right amount of spice 🤤 …
It was good. Small portions though. Even though it's by the lbs, which took me by surprise. Clean and nice decor, however the womans bathroom had no lock...
Had the two biggest items on the menu as a family and we got to enjoy fried frog legs. Very nice staff and good food.
Love the seafood boil but wish the sauce was a bit thicker. The corn on the cob is way too soft. Definitely wasnt a fan of soft corn
This place is very no but the staff is very nice the area is very clean my first time there they told me all the promotions and everything which was really great because they have this boil for 39.99 and you actually get lots of food you have to ask for more garlic pieces if you prefer heavy seasoning at the bottom of your back even adding on is very reasonable will most definitely be back there again!
Great food, great service and the price is more than fair. The seafood chef surgical was awesome! We'll definitely be back.
Amazing, delicious food. Done faster than we expected and at a good price. Definitely will going here again and again
Great food! Very good prices, very clean and friendly environment and great staff.
The only thing I would prefer not to listen to gangster rap. There was some swearing in some of the songs and there were kids at the next table.
Seafood was very well done and the seasoning/sauce was really solid as well. Despite our party being fairly large the food came out surprisingly quick.
Seriously, just go! As an Air Force vet who was stationed in Louisiana for years, I didn't think I would ever have good cajun food again. 1) Cozy interior design for ambiance 2) Amazing food & 3) AMAZING FOOD! Had myself crab, crawfish and shrimp, and its brought in a steamed bag (so cooked the RIGHT way), and when you ask for spicy you get just that.
I'm fading out as I write this, so if you like Cajun-style cooking this place will NOT dissapoint you. Get going already, I need this place to stay open!
Lowest seafood prices in town! Very spacious and a clean restaurant. Daily specials are great deals! Will be back.
This is the most amazing place ever. They have the best crab boils and also really good fried shrimp and they are nice sized too..
I had the crab shrimp boil.. oh was it good. Will definitely go back again and try other menu items. A must go to.
Love the shrimp boil. I like that they keep their lunch prices even on the weekends! Such a plus. That will keep me coming back.
The Boil was great, the staff/owners were engaging and super friendly to my family, Very nice and clean atmosphere!
We'll return there often!
Fast service. Incredible food. Well priced! They do good work there
Great food. Very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Can't wait to come back!
Visitted yesterday evening. Grand opening special had shrimp, lobster tail and crab. Food is very tasty. Definitely will go again.
I have you words, but you should run not walk and do it soon.
Great flavor and good service. The former Wendy's was recently renovated and it's nice and more importantly its clean. It is certainly expensive.
Food was very good.
mmm MMM! I had to lick the sauce off my latex fingers and order a side of bread just to mop up every last drop. Getting messy with food never tasted so good.
Probably one of the best cajun restaurannts in the twin cities region. We had the two specials with crab legs and shrimp. Very tasty.
Hands down the best place around. Food and service are excellent, and prices are fair. If you want to go out for dinner, treat yourself here!
Great scenery, kind customer service. The food was good, the sauce was a bit watery, season could have used a bit more salt and garlic.
A little pricy but the food is very good and tasty.
Cajun kitchen, you the bomb!!! I’m always impressed every time I eat here. Great, delicious food at a great price, you do it right
The food was out standing 👍🏻
Food is amazing and well seasoned! The staff is professional and have great customer service!!!!!
The seafood always fresh, and really good, ima big girl and trust me I know good food!!! 🤣🤣🤣 customer service is always amazing!! …
MY BEST COUSIN & HIS FIANCE BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY..... MY MEAL WAS MOST DEFINITELY 10+ THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS EVEN BETTER MUST TRY I GIVE YOU 2 THUMBS IF I HAD 3 I'D GIVE YOU 3. I'LL PROBABLY EAT HERE 3XS A WEEK LIKE MY COUSINS FIANCE.
The most delicious seafood boiled I ever tasted 😋 , salt 🍋 spice everything was perfect, and service was awesome 👌 …
Great prices, house sauce has great flavor & I love that my boil already comes with potatoes, corn, & broccoli other places usually charge by the potato or corn
The food was good, the crab is tasty. Some of the waiters are a lil extra and annoying but otherwise cool place.
Delicious boil and fried calamari! Service was ok. We will be back again. Yum Yum!
Delicious and well priced! Great atmosphere as well with fun decor and plenty of napkins!
Good service, decent prices, would have been nice if they had garlic butter. Willing to go back.
A few months ago when I had tried this I didn’t enjoy it months later it’s actually pretty good I just wish they would clean their muscles better I always find seaweed in them
Cajun kitchen is the BOMB .com so I highly recommend this place I wish there was one closer to my home but its worth coming all the way out here
1 pound shrimp boil is always awesome love their cajun sauce! delish!
Every few years i forget that I don't like shrimp much. The corn and potato's were awesome.
Me and about 4 of my friends dine in. We shared 2 seafood deluxe’s amoungest all of reasonable and affordable prices. I recommend trying this place!
Great price, great lunch specials, like that they add veggies. Second favorite Cajun place in Minneapolis
Friendly service delicious food
They have fresh seafood and also if you do ask the front desk you’ll be able to see what they have seasonal as well
I ordered my seafood boil from here not to long ago and the smell is just so good 😍I took a bite of the shrimp and my mouth watered 🤤and there very helpful and cheap ‼️ …
Amazing! We have now gone twice this week. Cajun sauce was amazing. Location is beyond cute inside!
It's okay, The minue needs more options and the service is poor. But the food is excellent...
I lived in Louisiana for years and I am so happy to find out that I can get AUTHENTIC cajun seafood boil again. So insanely good, 10/10 definitely coming back.
Always has flavor unlike other seafood spots. Prices are reasonable also
The place was clean, great waiters, food is good and fairly priced. I'm omw now lol.. I love that place.
This was the best value for seafood I’ve ever had. Service and cleanliness was on point.
I was literally stuffed and could not finish all my food. Almost like back home
I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH 🥰 my fav is the deluxe seafood wit the kitchen special sauce and extra garlic butter no spicy 😛 …
The C Kitchen has very nice decour and decent food. The food did not have the true cajun flavor I was hoping for but it was good
Great service, great food, great price. Will definitely be back and have already told my family about this place.
Best seafood boil 😋😋 everything is served hot and customer service is awesome 👍
