    I love Taytro's and wish I lived closer to it. Cajun options are delicious, and I always take rice…read moreand beans, jambalaya, and/or gumbo home for the family. Service is always great, too!

    This was our 3rd or 4th time to this establishment and unfortunately it did not meet expectations…read morelike our previous visits. There is almost always a wait but tonight we got seated pretty quick. The menu has quite a bit to choose from and unfortunately I feel like the prices have gone up and the quantity doesn't match what you are paying for. I ordered the fried shrimp. I asked for fries instead of the rice & beans. For $17.50 I'm expecting 8-10 shrimp...I got 5. They gave me the rice & beans and when they brought out the missing fries, they were stone cold. I was informed that since I didn't get the fries originally there, would be no substitution charge and that the rice & beans were on the house. My husband ordered the jambalaya entree that came with cornbread and a salad. Cornbread was a sliver but it appears he had the best meal of the night. Our friends ordered the chicken sandwich and it came with stone cold fries. The other ordered a burger that came without the cheese he requested (then was charged for asking for it) and stone cold fries. All fries were discarded and fresh ones brought out after awhile. 1 out of the 4 meals ordered was the only thing that turned out right. I kinda expected an apology or something for all the issues with our meals but nothing. The company we had was great. The dining experience was a let down.

    2026 update: Sister Cities Cajun just as good as it was on my first visit, circa 2020/2021?…read more I was on the hunt for Jambalaya that I could order for my Mardi Gras themed birthday party. This night, I only wanted to try the Jambalaya, and eat the ribs, I was in luck! on my last visit, the ribs were sold out. There were every bit as delicious as I remembered them. I asked the server about the Jambalaya, and she mentioned I could get it catered for my party. I did not realize that I could have ordered it cold, to heat up when my party was ready (there is a place on the website to notate that, hopefully this helps someone) I did not mark the correct box and my Jambalaya was hot at 3 pm when my party was at 8 pm. They were so helpful with further cooking directions and my Jambalaya was perfect come party time.

    I stopped at Sister Cities Cajun. I had the smothered catfish, and my husband had the shrimp and…read moregrits and of course, I had to taste his too! Nothing was too spicy, everything was seasoned just right, and the flavors were on point. The service was great and attentive, which made the experience even better. The ambiance had smooth music playing that set the perfect vibe for a relaxed meal. And let me talk about that cornbread sweet, fresh, and so good I needed a second piece. I might need that recipe if they're willing to share. Four stars given cause its always room for improvement.

    Husband and I were invited out to this place by some friends. They informed us of a band playing…read morethat evening. Checked into the event. They had two bands playing back n forth all night. I've passed this place up on occasion driving to mt Vernon. Always wanted to check it out. Glad we did. They have a gravel based parking. They have outside seating under a roof. Once you walk inside it's like you're in a wooded swamp like area. It was packed a bit so couldn't take many inside photos. The food is Cajun based. so you want some gator or catfish bites. They are one of the places to go to in Clinton County. I tried their grilled chicken sandwich with cheese. A side of Cajun fries( not Spicy- husband thought they may season with ole bay) we shared fried pickles and fried okra- we were almost full off of those alone. Large portions for appetizers! even their ranch dressing they brought out to dip the pickles in seems homemade. staff was amazing and attentive. We sat at the bar to eat and all of the ladies were wonderful! they also have a bar outside. Which was perfect as we were going to watch the bands. Overall we had a great time there!

    Service was ok, but server brought catfish nuggets when I ordered the fillet. The coleslaw was gray…read moreand rubbery looking. I've worked in food for 40 years and I know what FRESH slaw looks like. The server said it was made fresh that day like every Friday. I told her I didn't believe that and to take it away as we were not eating that. Last week everything was excellent. Big difference from one week to the next. I don't think we'll be going there next Friday. Consistency is a must when you're serving food. She did not offer a replacement of any kind and our bill DID NOT reflect a discount either, disappointing. The customer is always right, remember that!

    My friend and I went here for dinner. We each got the snow and shrimp combo…read more The sauce has plenty of flavor. The service was okay. The shrimps seems smaller in size than a few year ago. The amount of food you get is definitely less than before which probably due to the rise of food cost.

    I have been a loyal customer and order the same shrimp boil from this restaurant nearly every week…read more The spice level has always been consistent, which is why I was surprised when my recent order was significantly hotter than usual; so spicy that it was difficult to eat. I called the restaurant, explained the issue, and was told I could bring it back the next day. When I returned, my replacement order was made at the normal spice level I have always received, which confirmed to me that the previous order was noticeably different. Unfortunately, my niece's order, which was picked up at the same time, was extremely spicy as well. It was also missing the sausage that was included in the order. After eating only a few shrimp, she had to drink milk because of how overwhelming the spice level was. I immediately called the restaurant to explain the situation. Rather than addressing my concerns, I was repeatedly told, "You ordered spicy, what did you expect?" I explained that I order the same item regularly and that this week's spice level was clearly different from what I have received in the past. Instead of working toward a resolution, I was told they reviewed their camera footage and saw me check my bag. I explained that I checked my replacement order, not my niece's order, but they still refused to help. What disappointed me most was not the mistake itself, but the customer service. Mistakes happen, but dismissing a long-time customer's concerns and responding with a "welp" when told you lost a customer is unprofessional and disappointing. Based on this experience, I will not be returning.
