Amazin Cajun is a delightful place with wonderful food. I have eaten there for over 6 months and I have never been disappointed in there service or food. My favorites are the gumbo and New Orleans shrimp broil. Chico and Melissa are the delightful owners. read more

Excellent food and affordable. Shrimp and grits and grouper was great. Red beans and rice Vietnamese spring rolls.

It's a quaint little restaurant atmosphere is like being down on French Quarter. It has a touch of Vietnamese in it but 85 to 90% of its cajun food, authentic Cajun food and as for the pork egg rolls that are Vietnamese they were fantastic. Shrimp boy was great. The gumbo was top-notch. Service is great. It's truly authentic cajun food. The desserts are great. Also, they're just not your cheap desserts. They come from a bakery. read more

We just tried Amazin Cajun for the first time this past week. The shrimp and grits was outstanding as was the salad and garlic bread . We liked the relaxing ambiance and friendly owner and staff. Highly recommend . read more

The owner was super nice! Gave me free sample of gumbo to taste before buying. Gumbo has good heat to it and many meats. Spring rolls were house made. Big servings and cheap price. Support the locals! read more

I was excited to go here first time.I had vietnamese and cajun fusion. The gentleman I spoke to when I came in, was very polite.Very helpful gave me a free sample of the seafood gum.I loved it. I got the steamed boudin. Excellent. My meal was completely ruined when I blonde lady with glasses came out and was very nasty to me. The pork egg roll was amazing. If it wasn't for the one nasty lady completely ruining my meal.I would give this a much higher rating. read more

Food was delicious! I enjoyed the gumbo and the egg rolls. Next time I'll order the spring rolls. I also gave in to the coconut pie from Rolen's, a popular local bakery. This pie brought back memories of my favorite childhood dessert. Although the staff takes the orders at the counter, they deliver the food to the tables, fresh from the kitchen. An important note: they make beignets only on Fridays so plan your visit accordingly. read more

I tried this restaurant based on reviews here and definitely was not disappointed! The catfish shrimp bowl was delicious! I also had a side of fried okra which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I will definitely stop here again when I'm in the area. read more

The food the service and the ambiance were delicious and lovely. The shrimp were fresh and amazing. The fish was also delicious. Grits good. Red beans and rice yummy. Will come again. read more

This is a small little restaurant that specializes in Vietnamese and Cajun food. Yes that's right I'm not mistaken. The owner is Vietnamese and grew up in Louisiana. It's not fusion thought I suggested this could be a great combo with crawfish spring rolls as a draw. The spring rolls were fresh with local costal shrimp. The boil flavor was delicious and the shrimp were big. The etouffee was creamy with a mild heat. The best part of this little place is the people! Both sets of parents were at the restaurant helping out. The mother and father in law were wondering about offering drink refills, clearing tables and captivating customers with good old fashioned Southern small talk. Absolutely can't go wrong with this est. something for everyone and a local owned by people who are passionate about their business and care. The epitome of STAY LOCAL - BUY LOCAL read more

Amazin’ Cajun - Low country shrimp boil - Seafood Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Hidden Gem of the Wiregrass! Great Food in a Great Family Restaurant! We dined on 11-22-23 and had a terrific meal of Crawfish Etouffee w/rice. Nice slow & easy heat in the etouffee sauce that went perfectly with a nice hot piece of garlic bread. My wife had the Low Country shrimp boil. Sweet shrimp, andouille, potatoes, and corn. Spot on. We also had an order of fresh shrimp spring rolls and fried egg pork egg rolls. The spring rolls are a kind of Vietnamese hand roll. Terrific in the peanut dipping sauce. The pork egg rolls were tasty & crispy. Both were great & I recommend starting any meal there with an order of both. We also had pork fried rice. All of the food was great & the proprietor (Chico) & his "staff", his wife and mother, could not have been any more welcoming. We happily support Positive, Welcoming, Family-Oriented LOCAL businesses. This does NOT describe all local businesses, but it is a very accurate description of this Hidden Gem. If you are looking for great food cooked by a family who obviously care about personal service & quality, then PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. Dothan needs more businesses like Amazin' Cajun. We'll be back very soon! read more

This place is Amazing, just like the name says, lol. I tried it on a whim one day, and now I go back on a weekly basis. The food is always fresh and delicious, and best of all it's a small family establishment. Chico and his family are all great, and every time I'm there it feels like I'm sitting down for a meal with my family. I would highly recommend this place, they will not disappoint! read more

I'm in town for work and we got to the hotel kind of late. Amazin' Cajun closed at 7PM so I didn't think I was going to make it before the closed so I started waking to Chick-fil-a. As I walked past Amazin' Cajun at 704 the Open light out front was still on so I took a detour. As I walked up to the front door someone was about to turn off the Open sign. They told me to come in anyways. I asked if he was sure and he said absolutely. I walked up to the counter and there was a table of what seemed like regulars ranting and raving about every item on the menu. Since I got there after close they already ran out of some things. I ended up going with 16oz Gumbo, their last Egg roll and a corn on the cob. The egg roll is not a normal egg roll. I think it's a sausage link wrapped in pastry and deep fried. The regulars told me I had to get an egg roll to dunk it in the gumbo so that's what I did. It was pretty good. The gumbo container had rice on the bottom so make sure you stir it up well before you dig in or you'll be left with a bunch of rice after the gumbo's gone. The gumbo was pretty good. It was a little spicy but nothing out of control. The corn on the cob was excellent. I think it sits in a tin of butter so how could it be bad. When they pull it out of the butter they throw a dash of Cajun seasoning on it to give it some kick. I don't make it to Dothan often but Next time I'm in town I'll have to try the Shrimp Boil. read more

The food is fresh and very delicious. Their signature dish was amazing. I felt like I was in a Cajun New Orleans kitchen. The place is nicely decorated with clean restrooms. Our service was very friendly with many recommendations. The owners are very nice and even gave us food samples to help us decide. They also have fresh beignets on Fridays!! We're definitely coming back. read more

AMAZING I was on a road trip with my friend down to FL when I realized that we were in Alabama--I had never been to AL before, and needed to eat the local food to check it off my 50 state list. THIS WAS A GREAT DECISION. PERIOD. My catfish and shrimp were perfect, the sweet tea is authentic and DELICIOUS, and the rice and beans are to die for. I recommend anyone come try their cooking! read more

First time eating here and will not be our last! Had the Shrimp Boat, shrimp and grits and red beans and rice. Got it to go and our family enjoy every bite! Highly recommend! Excellent customer service...very friendly! read more

I don't feel their large salad is enough in the bowl for the price Zaxbys has a big salad for around the same price. I was still hungry after paying over $35 for me and a child to eat there! read more

I have waited to visit this place for a year... Never could catch it opened. But I managed a course or weeks ago and regretted it. Limited menu and not a very big dining area. No one is there to greet you or recommend a popular dish. So no servers. Not a good atmosphere. I gue read more

Just not what I was expecting. I would not call this Cajun. It reminds me of a Chinese restaurant and the food was just okay. Nothing spectacular read more

Delicious food and the nicest people you can imagine. I loved the shrimp and grits, the Big Easy salad was fresh and huge, and we were lucky to get there on Friday when they had gumbo. read more

Friendly excellent service and food! Offered samples and explained dishes with pictures. Stopped here traveling through on way home from vacation. Very clean and cute decor.

Friends had fried rice with egg rolls, trout special . We all shared a slice of butterfly cake that was very good. Pleasant experience. read more

A local restaurant with good food and friendly service. Definitely worth a return visit to try more menu items

The Gumbo is delicious! The staff was so sweet! Will be back very soon! Easily the best Cajun food around

This is a good place. It is a small family run business. I recommend the etouffe and the gumbo. Very friendly folks.

Just found this place, oh my goodness!!! They have it going on. We had the shrimp boil & gumbo, it was absolutely amazing. The taste and with the little bit of heat was like being home in Metairie. Thank you for opening in Dothan. Going back for some beignets Friday!!!! read more

We are traveling to Florida from Wisconsin staying overnight in Dothan. Amazin' Cajun was absolutely delicious! The gentleman who helped us explained the different dishes and let us sample some of his shrimp gumbo, which was amazing - and resulted in us ordering a bowl! Their prices are reasonable, food delicious and staff very friendly. We plan to stop in again on our way back to Wisconsin in early April. Highly recommend this place! read more

We were fortunate enough to see a friend's social media post about her experience at Amazin Cajun. We try to support locally owned businesses, so we were happy to be greeted by the sweetest people who offered a free sample of gumbo and explained everything on the menu. Our food was fresh and beautifully prepared. Each bite was full of flavor with a little bit of spicy, but not too much. Their seafood is fresh from the Florida coast and not farm-raised or off a restaurant delivery truck. We will be back to enjoy other things from the menu. read more

Absolutely Delicious! They had us at the sample of their NOLA Seafood Gumbo! Everything we had for lunch was great! Melissa and Chico, the owners, were friendly and provided exceptional service! We can't wait to come back again and try the rest of their menu. read more
