The food was amazing. Crab cakes and catfish was perfect. Cute place and will definitely be going back.

We experienced great service and tasty food. I ordered the Jambalaya with shrimp and my husband tried the Five-pepper cream. Both selections were delicious. We will be back. read more

Was pleasantly surprised when we went there. My wife isn't much into "spicy" food, but the server walked her through all of the items that were on the mellow side. I like the spicy food, and had the blackened catfish, and it was top notch. Love, love the cornbread, but everything we had was really good, and the service matches it! Will definitely be back! read more

Great new addition. The food was so good I didn't even take a pic. The gumbo was so amazing- not something I usually crave but highly recommend. I followed another reviewers advice and got the crab cakes which were great. I feel like in the Midwest they tend to be too much bread. They also had a delish remoulade sauce. We also got the shrimp and grits and blackened shrimp po boy. Honestly, the sandwich was pretty ridic- we just ate the shrimp. I'm not sure how you are supposed to eat it! The shrimp was very spicy but had great flavor. For a casual place, the service was also great. read more

Excellent food and service! I would try everything on the menu if I could! We will return again when in Omaha and need a good place to eat!

Very spicy for the Cajun i am used to. Best tjing was the bread pudding. We are from Beau Bridge La.

Really liked this restaurant. The Mac and cheese is phenomenal,definitely the best I've had in Omaha. Venue is not very large.

Service and food were both excellent. Try the blackened Po Boy. Everything made fresh to order, very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

So nice to have an authentic taste of NO in the heartland. Fresh and personal care makes each dish unique. Look forward to more great food at their new location in Dundee. read more

I'm a Louisiana native so I had my doubts but my boyfriend suggested, so I decided to give it a shot. I was blown away. Knowledgeable staff, great service, amazing flavor. I got the grilled shrimp po boy and it tasted like home. Everything was hot, fresh, and came out at a good speed. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had the jambalaya with crawfish and shrimp. Truly amazing flavors, authentic Cajun here in the heart of Omaha. I'll probably be back tomorrow. read more

Acadian Grille Scratch Kitchen - jambalaya with the shrimp and crawfish. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I am a Cajun (originally from Lafayette, LA) and this food is LEGIT. Absolutely fantastic etouffee and gumbo, and their hurricanes are great too. Also loved the boudin balls and remoulade sauce... it's my home-away-from-home fix here in Omaha -- and the staff is TERRIFIC! Highly recommend. read more

Found this place by (happy) accident. Needed to grab lunch and saw it. First, the 5 Pepper Soup. Spicy, creamy- just the right amount of heat. Peppers have flavor too. Roasted just right. The blackened catfish po boy had great flavor in the catfish, but also the fresh bun helped keep it balance. I will be back! read more

We decided to try this spot on Fat Tuesday's when we were in search of a great Cajun/creole restaurant. It's a fairly small place with about 20 tabletops I would say. We were greeted fairly quickly upon entering and offered 2 table options in the dining room, a small 2 top along the wall or a 4 top in the main dining area. We chose the 4 top to have more space. Server was very nice and let us know about the specials. I ordered the fish and chips special and my friend got the shrimp po boy. We didn't have to wait very long for the food, which was delicious. My fried cod was very thick cut and not heavy on the batter, which I like. The Cajun chips it came with were ok, but I feel like they needed salt. My friend liked her shrimp po boy a lot and got the Gouda Mac as her side which she said was also really good. Overall we had a great experience here and I would come back to try other dishes! read more

Acadian Grille Scratch Kitchen - Fish and Cajun chips special - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Great food, great service and to help actually remembers you when you come back. We now go there about once every two weeks. Keep up the good work! read more

Found this place on YELP. With mom and dad both from Louisiana, Cajun/Southern food is in my blood. I had gator bites to start and then on to some spicy collard greens and the shrimp and grits, all were seasoned perfectly and tasty as hell... oh and a side of cornbread just to top things off, unsweetened just like I like it. I'd recommend you come down here and try something right quick. read more

This review is for catering. MARDI GRAS PARTY, YA'LL!!! First of all, the catering prices were more than fair compared to many other Louisiana style restaurants in town. The portions were large and we could have easily downsized and still had plenty leftover. The chef even encouraged us to order 1/2 the amount of cornbread to save money since the slices are huge, then offered to cut them in 1/2. Right on time with our delivery on a recent snow storm day. The ettoufe was packed full of flavor! The jambalaya was everything we expected and full of sausage. The cornbread was delicious and huge. Boudin balls were scarfed up as guests arrived, and they were served with a kickin' remoulade. Many of the guests raved about the great food. Looking forward to eating in the restaurant next time. read more

We are always looking for something new and we seem to always be left disappointed. I was recently shown the yelp app and decided to give it a go since the last or first time we used the app it was spot on This place was spot on . The staff grabbed us before we could read the please wait here sign . Everyone one was more than friendly and helpful with navigating their menu and choices they offered . We all were very happy with our new find and will definitely be back !! read more

Nice little Cajun place. The Gumbo was super yummy, as well as my side salad with homemade dressing. Service was also good. For my entree had the black cat. The fish was very tasty, however the bed of "dirty rice" is was on was a bit underwhelming. Overall, I'd come back again when wanting Cajun in Omaha. read more

Had a great experience all around, atmosphere, welcoming, service, food, and cleanliness. My colleagues had the fish & chips special and seemed to enjoy their dish. I had the acadian salad with shredded salmon added (had to confirm with chef - but ok'd), and a dijon kind of dressing (can't remember the specific one - out of several choices). The salmon was moist and 5 oz worth. 2nd time I've been there (shrimp/grits/tasso) and will keep going back. read more

I don't want to say that I'm a creole snob but let's be honest I walk into a place that says it has traditional gumbo and then you have to add shrimp and crawfish I was a little worried. However my wife ordered the herb butter sirloin with the gouda mac and cheese it was excellent this is not a steakhouse but I recommended significantly for the steak also. I went with the untraditional roast beef po-boy I literally ordered it because I've never heard of a Cajun restaurant that served the roast beef po-boy. But it was actually good it's got a light gravy on it that's a little bit salty but works well with roast beef and the rest of the po boy horses traditional and good. We also ordered the boudin which was a little bit Fall Apart but the sauce they give you with it makes it really really good. Then we also got the alligator bites. I'm a huge fan of alligator everywhere I've ever had it so I might be prejudiced because I love alligator. But this was good stuff and the dipping sauce the only complaint I have about it is they didn't quite give me enough of it it's super sweet and it goes great with the alligator. For dessert we had the blood orange creme brulee. I've had bad creme brulee before though I don't know how in the world to make bad creme brulee. This was actually pretty good couple of issues would be that the caramelized sugar layer on top was a little thick and the cream beneath was a little shallow. I did scoop some uncooked sugar off the top. But I ate every single bite and lick the platter clean so while there were things I didn't like about it it didn't stop me from eating the whole thing and then chewing on the bowl. The service was really good are wheat rice was really sweet really patient answered a lot of our questions always with a smile and called me darling a lot which I miss being from the south. If you like Cajun food I definitely recommend this place read more

Amazing food. Great service. Low key. Even clean bathrooms! A great surprise and so many options. Can't wait to go back. We had the crab etoufe which was as delightful as New Orleans French Quarter's and a blackened catfish that was awesome. read more

Been here once tried to come back for lunch but they weren't open yet! Beat gator I've ever had huge tender pieces! All I want at this point is to have their gator in a poboy I'd be in heaven! read more

The best Cajun I've ever had..and to think I had to fly to Nebraska to get it! My son and I tried many dishes over the course of 2 days. Day 1: Gator Bites. Crispy seasoned..hot temp. and the sauce topped it off. We shared a bowl of gumbo... What a mistake because we were like two fools with dueling spoons...if anybody was watching... Extremely tasty gumbo. I had the shrimp with grits which was out if sight! They had forgotten the ham so the waitress brought it out. I was thinking oh it's just some ham.. let me tell you...make sure to get your ham... I'm just saying.. He had the blackened chicken with parpadelle. His dish was milder in a cream sauce but no less tasty! We ended with the Creme Brulee. It was excellent.. Not too sweet with a mild citrus bend and again the dueling spoons came out because we only ordered one! We took a side order of dirty rice to go and had a squabble about whose idea it was and so should get the Lions share.. LOL..I pulled rank..I paid so I won. Day2: we started with the Boudin balls and cannot complain..again well seasoned. My son went for the jumbalaya and added crawfish which he had never tried before. I ordered the catfish poboy. It was one of those cases where you are afraid to try the highly seasoned dish and then have to go back to your fish and tartar sauce. So we both tried my sandwich first. It was fried just right and the bread was lightly toasted. The remoulade sauce was darn tasty. With the Jumbalaya what can I say.. It's a mouthful and with crawfish added!! My son is now a lover of crawfish. The real surprise is that going back to my poboy was not difficult at all because it was "That Tasty"! My son even stopped midstream and asked for another bite. I had a side of collards that were sweet and tangy... really good. We were too stuffed to try anything else and I am bummed that we didn't take some sides back to the hotel but we got sidetracked by friends we had texted who decided to show up. So I left empty handed. Service was great and the manager is really personable. read more

We were looking for a non-chain restaurant...something locally owned, unique, and good food. We searched and found Acacian Grille Scratch Kitchen. What a diamond in the rough! The surroundings are simple and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. This Cajun spot offers a unique menu where flavors make you feel like you are in a high end Louisiana restaurant. We had Seafood Cioppino and the Gumbo. They were both excellent! We also had a couple of the Hurricanes. This was our first trip, but certainly won't be our last. read more

We have been here three times and had an excellent meal every time. Have tried a good variety of things on the menu; gumbo, catfish po'boy, dirty rice, Boudin Balls, Gator Bites, Crab Cakes, Shrimp and Grits, and more. Have been disappointed by nothing. It has all been very good to excellent. The Gumbo is sausage and chicken. In this form it is fantastic but if you ask for some shimp added it goes to another level. Gumbo is a tough dish to do well. The roux is the hardest part. It has to be bordering on burnt to be perfect. Theirs is excellent. Very dark. Gumbo not super thick like so many places try to make it. If roux is right it loses some of its thickening properties is what I was taught by a chef. Just get a bowl - a cup won't be enough. The shrimp and grits are fantastic as well. Nice and spicy, not overcooked. Grits creamy and smooth. Fried catfish was just right. Seasoned well. Service is great! The owners are on site and participating. I only have one complaint! They close at 8pm. This is too early. I want to go to Acadia more but we are not ready to eat untill 8 most nights and.....my quandary. Do wish they would extend their hours. Get down here and try out the Acadian Grille! (Please check my other reviews to know that I'm truthful in my reviews and this isn't a family member or friend review *********************** UPDATE They have extended their hours! Excellent!! read more

This Cajun-inspired scratch kitchen just opened in Miracle Hills. They offer Po Boys, Burgers Soups, Salads, Pasta, and deserts (including homemade vanilla ice cream and a Blood Orange Crem Brulee I really want to try on my next visit). They also have some great looking Chef feature items like an Herb Butter Sirloin with Gouda Mac and Cheese & cauliflower puree. I had the Acadian Burger (a ground chuck and andouille burger with roasted poblano peppers and gouda cheese topped with onion straws) and my wife had the Gouda Mac 'n Cheese with Tasso Ham and Cavatapi. Both were fabulous and we can't wait until our next visit to try something new. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Great food great service great atmosphere. Love this place in Omaha Nebraska for business great place to eat.

Went here for lunch. I had seen positive reviews on yelp and decided to give it a try. I had the blackened chicken pasta. It was very good. Sightly spicy as you would expect from Cajun food. Good service and atmosphere. I will definitely go back. read more

What a great find- very casual, good service and some yummy dishes. I had the Five -Pepper Cream with Blackened Chicken & Pappardelle. Went with my cousins so we all get something different and share with each other. Jambalaya was great and the corn bread was delicious. Bread pudding and pecan sandies was a good end. Staff was friendly and they have a nice patio area. Will go back for sure. read more

Amazing! Moved out to Omaha a few weeks ago from the south and this is the best food I've found so far. Felt like I was home eating the best gumbo. Shrimp poboy was excellent and loved the sauces that came on it. Also got the taco, more of a meat and cheese pie but very good none the less. Would highly reco read more

OMAHA we have a new Creole place an it's Legit! I've now been to the Acadian Grille multiple times and I can't begin to praise this place enough. The decor is comfortable an the chefs are out in the open to watch. I have not had one dish that hasn't blown me away. The boudin balls are what I remember from places in New Orleans. Their homemade remoulade sauce tastes fresh w a perfect bite. Shrimp Po Boy is on super soft but toasted bun an the shrimp are fried to perfection. Crab cakes also a win w plenty of meat. One dish I can't speak enough praise which is the crawfish etouffee is honestly one of the best I've ever had. I'm a fan of spice however will say this place is on the spicier side so if you are not a big fan have them kick it down a notch. I do have to also say that not only at the people awesome that work there but they also let me bring my bully to lunch outside w me. So that is an immediate spread the love review of an awesome establishment. Keep up the good work! read more

So good! The soft shell crab and andouille sausage gumbo was great! Very casual ambience.

Excellent service. We discussed spice levels with our server and he made recommendations to suit.

Pleasantly surprised! Wish I would have know about this place! Will definitely return. Awesome staff with great conversation!

best food in town! not like my grandma made but better than what your grandma made! order the black cat!

I had the fried catfish, smoked Gouda Mac and collard greens. THE BEST CATFISH!! I didn't have to put anything on it. Perfectly cooked. Everything was so good! I usually like to put hot sauce on my greens but these were cooked so perfect. Just the right amount of heat and tang! My new top 5 places in Omaha for sure! Oh yah- the Boudin Balls are a MUST if you go! read more

We had take out last night from this place. We had an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a side dish which came to over $40 which. I thought was a bit high. We had the boudin balls which were ok but the sauce was pretty tasty, I had the five-pepper cream with blackened chicken which was very good, my fiancé had the shrimp and grits which we thought the grits were too bland, and the Gouda Mac and cheese just didn't have enough flavor for us. Over all it was an ok place. I would order again and try something different. read more

My fiancée and I discovered this place by chance and we loved it. The gator bites appetizer is a must. The dipping sauce is really unique and tasty. I had a po boy, I wish there had a been a bit more filling to it. But it was good. Order a purple haze to wash it down with. read more
