This place is really a hidden gem and the food is sooooo good. The chargrilled oysters are seasoned very well and you get huge raw oysters. The grits in the shrimp and grits were very well flavored. I’m glad there is a place nearby that actually gets Cajun/creole food right.
We've been coming here a long, long time. This restaurant hasn't disappointed; it endures in an area where restaurants tend to come and go for a reason. The Cajun influence is obvious and proud. The food is as good as anything in New Orleans. When you go to a regionally-inspired restaurant and it's consistently filled with people from that region, you know it's good. If it sounds good, try it. But I can recommend the Boudan, the gumbo (they have several types -- the ya ya is my favorite), and anything to do with crawfish.
We love everything that we had ordered at Cajun Steamer Bar and Grill. It was Saturday night, the line was outside the door but once we got to our table our orders came out fairly quickly. Our server and the hottest were nice and prompt. We were staying at the Courtyard by Marriott and want to grab a bite without having to drive. It was the perfect walking distance for us and the food was delicious! The price was not bad for all the foods and beverages that we ordered!
The chargrilled oysters were GREAT! I like the pastured catfish and cajun mashed potatoes but the crab meat batter was TOO sweet. It tasted like a sweet roll versus a crab cake 😕. Overall great service and worth the wait. I will definitely be back!!
Great atmosphere and great oysters! We had oysters three ways fried, Rockefeller and charbroiled. Personally I liked the charbroiled best, nothing wrong with the order two. The cheese was great on the charbroiled. I will be back for sure!!
Wait staff was very friendly and offered the right dishes. Tried the Gumbo and YAYA Gumbo and both were very plentiful and spicy. Tried the Trio and it was good but the red beans needed more spice to it. Also tried the pasta and it cleaned out ur sinuses. Definitely returning.
Some of the best Cajun food you can get around middle TN. The gumbo is to die for! The drinks are great! The oysters were decent too!
