I used to really like this place. However, when COVID hit, they pared their menu way down. This limited menu seems to be here to stay, and it just doesn't have a lot on it that I want.I recently ordered their catfish, which comes fried. I asked if they could blacken it instead of frying it (which they used to do), but now they can no longer do this. I might be wrong about this, but that implies to me that the food is not fresh and instead comes pre-packaged, already fried. (Again, I might be wrong.)This one makes me sad. I wish this place the best.One thing I still like: their po-boys. Go for lunch and get yourself a po-boy with fries and a gumbo.

One of the few places I can go for gluten and dairy free food. I love the seafood and the fries. I also love that it’s a family run business. This is a full-service sit down restaurant with a small floor, so be patient. The food is cooked fresh by order.

As we pulled up on a Saturday night at 7:45 pm they were placing a "new hours" sign on the door. Apparently they now close at 8:00 pm. Maybe an update to the website first would have been a good idea.

This Lost Cajun location will blow your socks off! Red beans and rice? NICE NICE NICE!!! Cat Touffee? YAY YAY YAY. And don't even get me started on the gator bites. The staff and service is great, the food always hits and our family of 6 leaves happier than a pig in mud. We come so often that our waitress feels like a friend and treats us as such. If you ever get the chance to make it to this restaurant you won't regret it!

We hadn't been this location before, but stumbled on it earlier this week, and were THRILLED to realize they have a patio! We had lunch that day, and went back for dinner tonight. Great service, amazing food!!! I would strongly recommend their Cat-ouffee...it is delicious. I can't do a lot of spice...the spice level on this is perfect for me. It warms the front of your mouth, but doesn't burn your throat or take your breath away. SO good. Tonight we shared a basket of hushpuppies in addition to our meals. They are not greasy at all, and are SO flavorful. If you've lived in the south and miss catfish, shrimp, crawfish, and the flavors of southern cooking, you will be glad you found this place. If you've never lived there, treat yourself and give these classics a try!

Great little place. Food is good, with my favorite the gumbo. My wife loves the Cat-touffee. Service is very very friendly though best to be patient as while they are not usually crowded, they can get a big rush of people slowing things down. Fun New Orleans style decorations all around.

Excellent food. I love the gator bites and fried pickles. Definitely a place I want to go back to time and again.Only reason for four stars is that sometimes the service can be lacking (slow), but it's still worth a visit.

Me and my dad went here a month Ago and me and him really enjoyed it and the catfish was crispy and really good we were a little disappointed that they didn't have honey for the beignets but they were still good and made fresh and the staff were really friendly we will definitely be back ??

The food is tasty. The portions are good. The staff is very friendly. There's multiple locations so you can enjoy their food in more places than one. There's plenty of parking and easy to get to.

The food was fantastic! Well seasoned and fresh. Their hot sauce was the best hot sauce I've ever had. The only reason I'm giving four stars is I thought it was a little overpriced. One of the things we ordered was the kids chicken tenders and it was $7 for only two tenders and very little fries. I'll definitely be returning though.

The food is terrible. The menu says that it is seafood gumbo and there is no seafood in it. Everything is frozen The shrimp tasted freezer burnt. The salad I ordered was wilted and brown. The girl in the kitchen is rude. Will not recommend

The food and service were both incredibly wonderful. I'm not sure how such fresh shrimp landed in Highlands ranch, but it's great that it has. I'll be sure to be back for more. The shrimp Po boy was so fresh, the bread was baked perfectly and the fries were seasoned nicely.Bergyn was our server and the place was very quiet, but it didn't reflect the quality of the food or service.

So we went there last night for the first time ever because my neighborhood raved about it and it was in the neighborhood. A gentleman greeted us and told us to sit anywhere. There was only one other table filled with three ladies and they had already been served. We sit down and there were no menus so we had to go track those down and then we waited another 10 minutes and nobody approached our table. We thought we had to go up to the front desk to order and as we were getting up the same gentleman came over to get our drink order. It took another 15 minutes to get our drinks and a few other tables came in. We had to flag him down so we could order our food. Even though three other tables came after us they received their food first. The gentleman was polite but made no excuses for why the service was so poor. The food was decent but it was fried and it is hard to screw up fried food. After such high expectations I was definitely disappointed.

I'm on the fence between 3 stars and 4. The service is always a 4, but the food is hit or miss. Today it was just ok. I love their catfish etoufee, but today it was bland. Usually it has so much flavor. The boudin balls were also pretty flavorless. Their sauces are dynamite though. The place is clean, comfy and welcoming. They have a few slushy drinks too that are yummy. One is nonalcoholic and has a sour note!
