Cajun Country Cafe

Amazing southern style cooking skillfully prepared with a lot of care and attention. You can tell that the owner must have a lot of pride in their restaurant. The fried catfish was perfectly cooked and the batter was extremely light and delicate. Not at all greasy or heavy. The collard greens were exceptional, you should definitely give them a try even if you think you don't like greens.

Cajun Country Cafe popped up first when we checked Google maps for a place to eat while visiting Oxnard's Christmas Tree lane. It had been a while since we had some soul food, so we were up for it. I have 2.5 teenage boys (one is 11), so we got the fried fish sampler and the barbecue sampler. The food was so flavorful -- my kids declared the mac & cheese the best they'd ever had, while I was swooning over the candied yams, and we all thought the fried red snapper and catfish were so delicious with a breading that was not too thick and perfectly crispy. I did not even get to try the hot links, which my kids and husband gobbled up. In spite of how great the food was, it was the vibe that really stood out to me. Cajun Country Cafe is in a nondescript strip mall, but we happened to stop in o

It smelled so good from the moment you walk in because of the food. They are very welcoming and kind if you are a first timer or not sure what to order. The food speaks for itself, jam packed with flavor and depth. A go to for fried chicken, catfish, and the mac and cheese.

My honest review as a foodie. So I ordered the combination catfish and red snapper with redbeans and rice side and dirty rice side. The redbeans had too much pepper in them for my taste, dirty rice was good. The fish was fresh and fried perfectly but my standards I think they need more spices in the flour. The shrimp were over cooked. They were rubbery. The hush puppies were decent my taste would like a little more spice also. As for the price for it all. It was around 34 bucks with a drink. A little bit bigger portions on the sides and It would be perfect. Service was awesome, didnt eat inside but the place did have a distinct smell. Not what I was expecting with a Cajun place.

My first time here, and what an experience! Not only is the food soooo good, the service and family atmosphere was awesome that I almost felt like I was invited to dinner at their home. I’ve never been to Louisiana, but I feel like I have now!🤓
