Cajun Restaurants near Rego Park, NY

“Outstanding experience, I would give more than 5 stars ? , everybody goes above and beyond in everything they do, I want to give a special thanks to Herman, Pen, Henry and Ardy for their excellent service. They're always welcoming and treat everyone like family!“

“Really interesting cuisine and experience. Cute and small joint serving Cajun Korean food with a lot of variety and inventiveness. The jambalaya was great with a lot of flavor and kick. The softshell crab sandwich I had was phenomenal -- just the right texture of fried crab and toppings with some pickled vegetables. Service was really kind and efficient.“

“Pretty good po boys quality wise. I just recommend that they should get some horse radish for the po boys like how it's done in NOLA. I really liked the catfish Po boy, but had to go to the supermarket to get my own horse radish. Sandwich is delicious though, albeit a bit smaller than a hero.“

“First time there yesterday..the place is beautiful. The food was OK. Our waiter Jonathan C was awesome!! The blue crab doesn’t need the powdered sugar on top. The alligator bites batter was too salty and the cornbread was on the dry side….half a loaf is only 2 small slices for $8…not cool. And last but not least, the bread pudding should have been warm and the caramel sauce taste burnt. I will still give it a 8 out of 10 rating.“

“I really enjoyed my evening out at this joint. The food was on point; well seasoned and expertly prepared. The staff exuded warmth and were very attentive. And a nice vibe and feel to the place. The only minor issue was (a) the seating is a bit tight and (b) it was a bit noisy. I would have given 4 1/2 stars instead of 4 but that's not an available option. I unreservedly recommend! And if you fail to try their grilled oysters...well, that will be your eternal loss LOL.“

“Cap't Lou is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Great food, crowd and ambiance. The owner, Raymond is such a humble and generous host with a welcoming smile. If you haven't tried the food, I highly recommend doing so...you'd love it!! ?“

“This place is an overall great time and great addition to the neighborhood! The staff were amazing with their service and knowledge about the region and menu, and the co-owner was making drinks at the bar! The cocktails and food are a must try!Drank: TI’ PunchAte: Salade Creole (loved), Camarons Coco-Vanille (loved especially the vanilla bean sauce)“

“My family took me here for my birthday and we had a wonderful time! The staff was very attentive and the food was served quickly. Everything on the menu was tasty, it was hard to stop ordering. We had such a great experience we’re planning on celebrating different birthdays here! I would highly recommend this place if you love seafood!“

“Hands down, the greatest sea food boil around. I'll drive 30 minutes to Capt loui even though there's several other companies way closer to me. It's just that good. Service, food, cleanliness, the staff... everything is top notch, never once left without being completely satisfied. If I could give more stars I would, 10/10 experience every time ?“

“Celebrated my son's 35th birthday here. The owner was wonderful, very friendly and made the bday celebration more special. We enjoyed the seafood boils, calamari, hush puppies, and fish and chips. Special sauce was delicious and if you like spicy don't worry that extra spicy is too hot. Highly recommend!“

“My recent experience was exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Daria. From her warm greetings to her attentive care throughout the meal, every interaction was a testament to her professionalism and dedication. Highly recommended for both delicious food and impeccable service.“

“Aqua Boil is a hidden gem. I got the Crab Boil and the seasonings were tantalizing and food cook to perfection. The service was excellent. They were very attentive and the vibes were positive and upbeat. Definitely going back for a second visit.“

“Absolutely delicious and authentic Chinese food. I was invited to this restaurant by my Chinese boss and he ordered most of the food. I was blown away by just about everything we ordered as I have never heard of most of these dishes. They were all amazing, with the exception of stinky tofu. If you’ve never had it before, you probably shouldn’t risk it as it’s a definite acquired taste. I will be back here to explore more dishes“

“We got there around 945 right before the kitchen closed, we ordered fast and got the lobster, soft shell crab basket , king crab, Mac n cheese and garlic bread, Cajun fries , mussels, ordered all rhe seafood with the boil sauce which is a mix of all of them definitely go with that and don’t need to order extra sauce, came with potatoes and corn, the drinks were that great but the service was fast, it was super busy, classic seafood/cajun vibe“

“when i came here gustavo was very nice, very accommodating & made my dine in a wonderful time. when you come here make sure hes there! ill definitely be coming back again & again & again! food was seasoned perfectly, the all you can eat was AMAZING. strawberry margarita was top notch! id highly recommend!!!!!“

“- great service - great happy hour drinks - large portions we could have used more broccoli there were a lot of shrimp one of my crab clusters was huge another one was kind of skinny - I think medium is kind of spicy - great bread pudding - delicious garlic butter on the side - garlic noodles were alright - I forgot the name, I liked the canned beer“

“Stopped in 1803 for lunch while I was downtown. The staff was friendly and super helpful.I ordered the Catfish Sandwich that came with friends. The Catfish was flavorful with their house chili sauce. I wish the bread wasn’t so thick for the amount of meat.Interested in trying some of the other options on the menu, but overall had a good experience.“

“Really attentive service. Always checking up on you. The seafood boil was very tasty for 3 lbs with 2 side and extra order of sausage came out to $70. Really good deal. Only complain the music. Same reggaeton on repeat. But definitely will “

“This place is really a league of its own and deserves more than 5 stars. The food here is fantastic and flavorful. Its hard to find quality Creole and Lousiana food in NYC and this place more than delivers. Ive come here multiple times and every dish is interesting and filling. The prices are a bit high, but I think it is worth it for the quality and quantity that you get.“

“This is a good restaurant with the typical seafood boil with different types of sauces to choose from. The service was good and it's really the only type of cuisine like this in the area so it's a bonus. The restaurant has quite a few tables and it's very clean. When I went there wasn't that many people in the restaurant so I hope this review brings them business because they deserve it!“

“For my birthday today, I made the decision to go to this restaurant. I was rather happy. It was my first time, and I'm happy that I chose this location. A perfect ten. There was an aura. The cuisine was excellent. The beverages were adorable. The interior of the restaurant is lovely. I got my dinner fast and the service was very courteous to me and my family. I'll be back very soon!“

“202403xx::OH NO!!! all u can eat(AYCE)is $45 now. i got the flounder and rings, calamari, and i was getting full. so getting the $29.99 AYCE was not worth it. the calamari was actually softer than almost all the greek restaurant calamari.“

“Love the Food & the person who Takes the orders is Pleasant, I live on Gunhill& been here a few times just for the food.. I had ~ Wings,General Tso chicken ,fried pork Dumplings ,egg fried rice in all the orders. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD!! I will return for sure.Parking: There’s a parking lot front in front. Also street parkingKid-friendliness: There’s space to sit & eatWheelchair accessibility: No steps. Which is great!“

“I used a Groupon for my meal and the only issue I had it was NOT written in the fine print you can not use the Groupon for BRUNCH. I brought it to the hostess attention and she pulled out an in-house menu that says no Groupon. What good is that gonna do if you don't know ahead of time? IDK Needless to say, I had to wait an hour until the BRUNCH time was over. Other thank that! The food and service was excellent.“

“THE LOBSTER BOIL WITH CRAB LEGS LOBSTER TAILS AND PRAWN SHRIMP ? WAS EXCELLENT PRETTY FAR BUT WORTH IT YOU CAN ORDER AHEAD ? TRY THE SPICY IF YOU LIKE THAT OR CAJUN...GOOD PRICES NICE COZY SPOT. SEAFOOD AT ITS BEST ??Wheelchair accessibility: WHEELCHAIRS CAN COME IN AT STREET LEVEL“

“Went her with my wife on a date night and it was amazing. There was a DJ playing nice old school and new music the food is great service is on point and the servers are very respectful and attentive to your needs. I highly recommend this place to come hang out eat some good food and enjoy yourself.“

“I ordered a lobster with lemon pepper cajun sauce and it was out of this world good. I don't know why this place is not as busy as it should be. Maybe they need to run oyster specials like Captn Louie. I enjoyed the takeout. The lobster was fresh. I would not recommend getting the noodles for an additional $7 because you can just go buy a box of pasta and put it in the sauce.“

“Food was good, tasty. Service was ok, slight language barrier. I asked for a beer on draft and server brought me a bottle beer. Other than that it was cool. Nice spot. Cool vibe. Busy lunch crowd. Not a traditional Buffett. Just order all you want. But crab legs, lobster tails extra money.“

“My fav Cajun Seafood spot !!I’ve been here many times and never once has it disappointed me. The seafood is fresh, large portions and very delicious! Absolutely love the decor and the staff is friendly. Plenty of room to gather with friends and family and also watch a sports event on the large screen.“

“This was my first time trying seafood boil and the experience was really good. I am a spicy food lover so having the option to choose your spice level on the menu was a plus for me and the combination was really good.The oceanic combo gives you a good amount of food which can easily be shared between three person (saves you a little money). Besides I also loved their Piña Colada.Side note: the seafood boil experience can get a little messy, so I would suggest having extra napkins and ask for an extra pair of gloves.“

“I rarely write a review but I have been obsessed with Crab Du Jour since they opened in Harlem. My experience here has been delightful from the food to the friendly and attentive staff members who make customers feel right at home. If you are a seafood lover who’s in the mood for mouth-watering authentic Cajun dishes that won't break the bank, look no further than Crab Du Jour in Harlem; just steps away from the hustle and bustle of 125th Street. Their signature boils are an absolute must-try! They offer a variety of options like Crawfish, Shrimp, Snow Crab legs, Dungeness Crabs and Lobster Tail – all cooked to perfection! Each boil comes with potatoes and corn on the cob and your choice of classic garlic butter, lemon pepper, and the original Cajun or Crab du jour special, sauce. I usually add sausage to my boil; Yummy! Looking for something other than boils, there are plenty of choices! They offer dishes like po’ boys sandwiches which come with fried oysters or fried fish filets. My friend really likes the crispy chicken po’boy. They also offer fried shrimp baskets, or crab cake baskets, just to name a few. Regardless of what you choose off the menu here, you can be sure that it will be delicious and flavorful every single time!“

“I tried Oysters for thr 1st time, not my thing but also not bad! I had a crabcake Po'boy and my 2 friends also ordered shrimp po'boy sandwiches. All of us enjoyed our food so much that we couldn't waste time chatting and just ate. The $1 wings were pretty great too. The staff was really welcoming and nice.“

“My boyfriend and I went there on a Sunday around 4:30 pm. I made reservations earlier the same day which weren't really necessary as it wasn't busy. We ordered our drinks and the waiter explained everything pretty thoroughly as it was my partners first time. The food was amazing, the only thing is that we didnt get the best filled pieces but it still tasted amazing. We got the king crab and the snow crab legs in their Cajon blend, mild w/ potatoes and 1 corn each. Great meal and the drinks were good as well. It is a cash only venue, the ATM avaliable does charge a percentage to take money out and there is a 20% service fee that's tacked on to the bill. I didn't see any signs about it and may have missed that on the menu but I assumed that 20% was including the tip. If it's not management should be more clear about that. Good vibes though.“

“Was a little nervous after reading some not so good reviews about their customer service and watching some TikTok reviews.... However I still decided to give them a try...walk in the place was empty but it was in the evening and just finish raining. The worker in the front was cool and helpful he gave me some suggestions which helped me make some of my decisions. Once my order was complete the cook came out with my order to explain which each meal was before packing it away which was sweet and helpful because it allowed me to take the pictures I needed since I was taking my food to go. Everything was tasty except for the tender meal with the mash and corn that was my least favorite. The fries were also too soft for my liking wish they were a little more crisper. I may or may not visit again but I do suggest you stop by and check them out for yourself. Ambiance: 4/10 Food: 8/10 Customer Service: 10/10“

“Me and my friends went here on Christmas for dinner and were sooo happy we did! The owner is incredibly kind and welcomed us an hour before close and even remade our togo order after one of our friends accidentally threw it away ? Will def be back! Food is so good, slushy drinks are so “

“10 stars!!! Excellent customer service Amazing quality of food. Everything was cooked well and delivered as promised. Definitely will be supporting this business in the future!! My family in Brooklyn was extremely happy and satisfied with their dinner for Thanksgiving today Thanks so much for everything!“

“Wow!!! Very impressive, everything fresh, delicious & huge servings. I had chicken tenders, my mom had fried shrimp ,we both had with sweet potato fries that had a slight syrupy taste which were amazing, we got hush puppies and calamari to split..both great..we ate and still have plenty left for a full meal.. also have a seperate full bar, frozen drinks, tv's etc service was also great ..I definitely recommend ...oh and great prices“

“Good service, very clean, friendly staff also good food. Majority of the items are pricey but that’s because seafood is expensive so it is logical. Certain items are budget affordable thought depending. I ordered the seafood pasta, chicken tenders, fries, hush puppies, fried shrimp, onion rings, lemon pepper fries, lobster tots etc and it was delicious and super yummy. I’ve been coming here for more then a year since it was first opened and I honestly love it.“

“Great food. Service was ok, but not great - got the wrong drink delivered, no cutlery until after the food arrived, and, despite asking about dessert at the start when ordering, our bill was delivered with us asking for it, so we didn't get the chance to order beignets.“

“I've done take out many time, usually the boil bags and fried rice here and always good. However, came twice on a Saturday to dine in with family and couldn't hear ourselves over the music. We left both times because it was impossible to hear the person next to you or even speak your order to the waitress, my son was really uncomfortable and crying. Music was on point don't get me wrong but didn't need to be blasting like it was a club, we should be able to have family meals there and be able to hear eachother speak. Hopefully soon it's rectified so we can finally dine in.“
