Spice does NOT equal taste

by shaynekedarnadumom at Citysearch

I read about Ragin Cajun here on Citysearch and since my family is from New Orleans and I've grown up eating good cajun food, I decided to try it. I hate to have anything negative to say, but to say I was disappointed is an understatement. When I looked at the shrimp ettoufee (spelling?) I thought I was seeing things. It looked and tasted like it came out of the frozen food section of your local grocery store. Everything else I ordered was the same. The okra was no different than Church's Chicken (except about $4 more in price), I've had better hush puppies (regularly) at the local fish market, and my mama makes better shrimp right in our kitchen. Nothing I ordered was special in any way. But what really SLAYED me was the $25 I spent! Maybe I just ordered the wrong things? Sorry, but this is NOT authentic Cajun food....

• Pros: staff friendly, bayou decor
• Cons: food, prices for what you're getting

GREAT CAJUN FOOD

by cajundude at Citysearch

Being from south Louisiana I can honestly state that the food here is as authenic as cajun food comes. The atmosphere is down home with local Lafayette music playing in the backgound. The decorations on the wall reminded me of local places back home. This is a must stop to pass a good time if you are in the area. Many thanks to Stephen and Jeannie for the hospitally shown to us on our visit.

• Pros: Great food, local flavors from Lafayette Louisiana

Incredible Cajun food and Gator

by bhfoodie at Citysearch

First and foremost i love cajun food and this place is one of the top 5 places in LA! I love the crawfish etouffe and the atmosphere along with the staff are great. If you go you have to try the "gator" most of the time i order it for the table and dont tell anyone until they dive in and they are alwyas surprised at how good gator really is.....its a must. Keep up the good work guys!
