Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill

Char-grilled oysters….$28.99 for 12 TINY oysters; the flavor was good, but they were dry, not buttery and juicy like NOLA. “Blackened” shrimp po-boy…the shrimp tasted like precooked frozen shrimp that had a little seasoning sprinkled on them; they weren’t even warm and tasted awful. The chicken vindaloo was good, as were the fries, otherwise I would have given a 1! Don’t waste your money.

Slowest service known to humanity, you will literally wait like 15 minutes for a drink when you sit down. Be prepared to wait an hour for your food when you come here. The food is good when you eventually get it, however.

Good eats. Highly recommend. If you're lucky Abby will be your server.

I’ve been to Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill on several occasions and the food to include drinks have been awesome. The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly and professional. Wednesday my wife and I ordered chicken wings, Char grilled Oysters, drinks, and two Redfish Rockefellers. We usually order the same entree. This particular day the entree wasn’t fresh and tasted different. The sauce was watered down and lacked taste. The mashed potatoes were brown and tasted like an old “yesterday” potato. The entire dish was off and seemed very old. I took a few bites an immediately went to the bathroom. Thankfully the waitress took it off my bill. My wife didn’t eat hers after my experience. I was ready to leave after. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth for a few hours. I enjoy this restaurant, but please use fresh ingredients and don’t cut corners.

(2023) After many times visiting Cajun Steamer, tonight may have been our last. Cajun Steamer was insensitive to special needs children. I've taken my new family there several times in the past year. Both my fiancee and our kids had loved the place. Tonight we went there for a nice, family dinner and after ordering drinks and meals, noted the background volume on the music playing in the restaurant was getting louder than usual. I asked the server if they could please turn down the volume and explained clearly that the children are autistic and would overwhelm them. They said they would mention it to the manager and we waited. Food arrived with a different server and I asked again about the volume as I'd been watching both kids slowly becoming upset by the sound level. Halfway through the meal, my finance had to take both children out of the restaurant and down the street to escape the sound level. One was clearly in tears. On speaking with the manager, he told me that no-one had mentioned the children were autistic. Worse - he told me point blank that his boss (a restaurant owner I assume) told him to turn the volume back up. My family was unable to enjoy a meal together and my step-son who'd been excited to go there, now refuses to go back. Way to go... I'll take my business elsewhere and recommend that anyone else with family members on the spectrum do likewise. (2016) First time trying the place and I was blown away. Great food and at a reasonable price. 4 Stars because we had to flag down our server several times after she wasn't checking the table.

Finally had my first alligator taste here. The gator meat was a little chewy. The crawdaddy serving was actually generous. We had to share with the group. Some of the dishes were a little salty. There is parking building on the area if you find the side-streets full.

My guest had eaten here twice before and recommended it, she went there for the Raw Oysters. Problem #1: Basically insufficient parking. Garage two doors away says 1st floor for Public's customers and others will get a ticket, other floors for medical clinics. We parked on 1st floor that was 75% empty and took our chances. Got the seafood dip (cost more then many of the entrées), but was very good. I got the Bayou Chicken stuffed with shrimp and crab. Found 1 shrimp in the sauce seriously no larger then 1/8 of an inch, and the crab must have only walked by my plate, because there was no crab to be found. Stuffed absolutely not. The chicken was thick pieces of grilled chicken that had very little flavor, because they were too thick to soak up much of the flavor of the sauce or the nonexistent stuffed crab or shrimp. The side was red beans and rice flavored water with a 1/2 tablespoon of rice placed in the center.(Started to order Red Beans and Rice as my entree - so glad I didn't do that!) My guest ordered the Raw Oysters ( her go to meal!) and two of the Raw Oysters were bad! As she said, they should have been able to smell them when they were shucked and never served them in the first place. Food arrived in short order, but refill of drinks arrived after the check. Waitress did offer to get manager to replace the two bad Oysters. However, after you have put a bad oyster in your mouth, that ruins the taste for the remainder. My guest was so disappointed she said she was not going back. We decided on not being further disappointed with desert. Meal without tip (no alcohol drinks) was $61.00
