Cajun Queen

This review comes a lot late from our visit to Charlotte last year in July, but I really enjoyed this restaurant for the food and atmosphere. Five stars, despite at the time, it appeared the air conditioning was not working. We could tell this was a popular restaurant as it was packed when we came. It was a good idea that we made reservations. The decor is charming and brought the feeling and vibe of New Orleans. They had a very talented live band playing Jazz and Blues music. The food was so tasty and delicious and I would say it was authentic as any of the best restaurants in New Orleans. I would definitely come back and highly recommend if you love and miss Cajun cuisine and New Orleans charm. I hope by now they have the air conditioning fixed.

Food was good. A little more seasoning or spice would have helped. I had Cajun pasta and my friend got The Shrimp Diane. Drinks were delicious. We set upstairs where the band/entertainment was performing, loved it. Waiter was a nice guy and was very attentive.

I did feel a little rushed as we had two attending to us and one would immediately clear things as she saw them finished. It was too much service if that's a thing. Yes we had 7pm reservation and they close at 830 but it was 8pm. Outside of the frequent interruptions we enjoyed our company and the food.

My husband and I came for dinner and it would absolutely wonderful. The food, the service, the atmosphere and the drinks were all great. I had the duck and my husband had blackened catfish and chicken and the red beans and rice. Oh and the bread pudding, my husband loved.

I have dined here on two occasions. Each meal has been excellent. They serve real cajun dishes that are delicious. I especially enjoyed the BBQ shrimp very flavorful with just the right amount of heat. I ordered the blacken shrimp and grits with sausage. It was so good and with large portions.
