10Best Says

The spirit of the Big Easy is alive and well in the Queen City thanks to this fun, laid-back charmer. Live jazz, cold Dixie beer, and Cajun cookery share the spotlight, and folks never fail to leave Cajun Queen with full bellies and memories of good times. Start off with shared appetizers of fried green tomatoes, BBQ shrimp, and Cajun popcorn �– hey, you came here to eat after all. From there, the choices get tough: Will your main course (served Creole, Diane, or étouffée style) feature chicken, shrimp, or crawfish? If you can't decide, the safest (and tastiest) bet is to go with all three!
