I've Been seeing this spot on social media so I browsed the menu and it caught my eye! It's pretty new so we didn't have a problem getting a seat granted it was around 5pm on a Friday. The resturant is beautiful and in a great area (French Quarter) it took over the space that St. John was recently in. The service was great and the waiter was fast with everything. The food was outstanding! For appetizers we got: Gumbo- This was a big shocker I didn't expect it to be this good packed with flavor. Calamari- fried to perfection the batter was well seasoned and the meat wasn't chewy. Fried Ribs- Very tender, fried and nicely seasoned I just wish it was a better sauce to dip it in! Entrees: Half a rooster- A fried half of chicken breast and wing. To be honest it was well done, had a great taste. It came with a marinara sauce under it initially it threw me off but it complements it well. Shrimp & Grits- The Grits were buttery and salted nicely not too watery. The shrimp were cooked pretty well the sauce made the whole dish! Overall I love what they have going on wishing many blessings to them. read more

Place is located in the heart of the city! We got seated immediately and our waiter was friendly. We started with dozen of the garlic and parm oysters, gator bites and fries. The bites and fries were great, cooked perfectly. I did not enjoy the oysters they were off. For the entrees we ordered pasta, shrimp n grits, cajun wings, and sampler. The pasta has good seasoning but the seafood tasted old. The wings were salty and a joke for the size. The sampler was trash! The jambalaya was spoiled, the red beans had a weird taste and the gumbo was ok. My husband said the shrimp n grits had a different flavor n was different. I wont be back here, I wasted a $177. read more

My friends are visiting out of town for Mardi Gras. We decided to stop by Cajun Flames before making our way to Bourbon Street. Cajun Flames didn't disappoint us! We ordered Steak & Mash, Steamed Mussels, Seafood Gumbo, and Red Bean & Rice. The seafood was fresh and seasoned. The steak was cooked. The gumbo and red bean & rice were delicious. read more

Overall, a cute, new spot with friendly staff and quick service. I wanted a little nibble and was craving oysters. I ordered the Oyster Trio: Included Rockefeller, Pimento Cheese, and Herb & Garlic Butter served with the most delicious crostinis. They were all of decent size and the Garlic Butter & Herb were my favorite of the 3. Pimento Cheese came in second and the Rockefeller was my least favorite but I'm not a big fan of a lot of toppings on my oysters so take my review with a grain of salt as my favorite way of eating oysters are raw, fried, and charbroiled. If you love oysters with toppings this might be just what your taste buds crave. I wasn't planning on drinking but when I saw that they were infusing their vodka for their Bloody Mary's, how could I refuse. Not bad but I prefer a hint of a thicker texture with mine. read more

Char grilled oysters . Delicious. Charred sprouts were fine. Too much glaze and the peanuts? Added nothing . Then we ordered the steak frites. "Medium rare". The waiter gave me a weird look. What he brought to the table was a crime worthy of a 911 call. I would like to report a murder. Go look up "medium rare strip steak images" then look at this "steak". No. Waiter was extremely puzzled why we were sending it back. You tell me. read more

I love stopping in here towards the end of the day for a drink or four, I always get the steak with the chimichurri sauce and substitute the carbs for mixed veggies. I like sitting at the bar and going about two- three hours before they close cause the bar tender is oh so fun. read more

Incredible experience! The food was one of the best dishes of our lives, the staff was lovely and the ambiance was great! We tried the Oyster Trio and it knocked our socks off! 11/10 recommend! We've been thinking about them all night and can't wait to come back for more! read more

Nice ppl and nice food. Good options to pick from. Good drinks . Came here close to closing with a group of 4.

Pros: Nice seating. Attentive staff. Cons: Food was too salty, especially the gumbo. Fried frog legs were definitely not fresh. Both the fried dishes of frog legs & gater bites were salty. read more

They don't miss!!! Every time I come to the city I have to get here! I truly wish I could fly this food to my city at least once a week.

Great respite from galavanting in the quarter- best Pimm's cups I've had and the Cajun Oysters are melt in your mouf good! Everything we had was so tasty. Great service too. If you can get a seat on the balcony at night, it's a fantastic spot for people watching and listening to the tunes on the street. Thank you, Cajun Flames! You made our weekend at Funk fest that much better. xoxo read more

Was walking around looking for a place to eat with friends and found this place. We ordered a bunch of appetizers including the frog legs which were very well seasoned crispy and delicious! The oyster trio which were all good but the Cajun style took the cake. The gumbo and red beans from the sampler trio were delicious but the jambalaya was just alright. Tasted more like dirty rice. The crab and oyster dip was a little grainy but fresh! The drinks were strong The service was ok waiter seemed a little confused but was nice. The booths were nice and clean and you can see the chefs making your food. Overall 8/10 experience read more

Went in to get a big Togo order for my family and at first was put off that the staff weren't too friendly. Place was empty but got that were annoyed to serve you vibe. Ordered a burger and fries which was just ok, side of Mac and cheese for my kid which was disgusting and cold, then for me I got the shrimp and grits which I was so excited for. Well, the grits were tasty but all of the shrimp were undercooked and gooey. I also got some beignets for us and they weren't good either. Not sure how this place ended up with such good reviews. Was also $70 which isn't cheap for what we got. Bleh & dissapointing compared to other restaurants in Nola. Go to Stanley's, that was superb! read more

We're a little skeptical to try this place as it didn't have a lot of reviews and seemed somewhat new. We were pleasantly surprised when we received our food. We both ordered the shrimp po'boys and they were excellent. The portion sizes were huge and the shrimp was fried perfectly. The service was also great. Menu for lunch was a bit limited but everything seems to be very well made. Would highly recommended! Unfortunately we didn't take pics as we were so hungry. read more

My wife and I came down here for our anniversary and had reservations at the nearby place. we stopped in here for drinks and man I'm glad we did. the bar manager has made his own custom cocktail with tequila infused fruit.

Just visited based on previous reviews. The gumbo and jambalaya were awesome. I read the above rave reviews to Koushik. He smiled and continued to provide great service 5 hrs after his last mention. I would recommend Cajun Flames to anyone for a visit it's very close to Cafe du Monde and Central Grocery, so you can't go wrong! read more

My fiancé and I sat at the bar, had a couple draft beers and a meal. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad & shrimp po boy and he ordered Cajun sampler plate. Great flavors, fresh ingredients! Their bar manager, Koushik, was very friendly and attentive. We definitely recommend trying it out. Finishing up our meal with their bread pudding The ambiance laid back and inviting. I love the murals on the main wall opposite the bar. And bonus, they have hooks under the bar for your purse! read more

Had a few bites here including the frog legs, Brussels sprouts, seafood gumbo, and oysters. All good.

Food was extremely salty, over priced and very greasy. The tables were also comically large and booths very deep so it felt like we were children and sitting several feet apart across from each other read more

Stopped in to have a drink after getting kicked out of the R Bar because one of our party had on a red Trump hat. Ended up staying for about 90 minutes as the atmosphere was so friendly and inviting. Tori (the bar hostess...she was so much more than just a bartender...provided great appetizer and drink recommendations. Even though she was busy with drink orders, she was friendly and informative about the restaurant/bar and it's renovation. The drinks were delicious...margarita and passion fruit mojito...the raw oysters fresh and reasonably priced for the location. We had the oyster/crab dip...delicious. I highly recommend Cajun Flames for drinks and appetizers and/or dinner ... the staff, the atmosphere, the food and drink were all exceptional! Thanks to Tori for making what started out to be a depressing evening so much better read more

Noticed that this restaurant just opened so I thought I'd check it out and went in for some Seafood Gumbo in a city known for gumbo. It was very well made with crawfish, shrimp, and andouille sausage. Could stand with the best of them. Then the next day for lunch I had the fried shrimp o'boy, another home run. Can't wait to check out their oyster menu. Nice clean facility with friendly staff and good food at competitive prices. read more

Had a great lunch here. Calamari was excellent and Jitu provided wonderful service! Will definitely be back!

Great place! Right around the corner of 100's of stores, bars, and great music. The food is fairly priced and the drinks are heavily poured. The ambience is clean and uplifting. The restrooms smell nice. The kitchen is a somewhat open concept and man are they making everything with love. Our bartender Koushik was awesome, service was kind and patient. His skills were through the roof he had everyone in the bar smiling plus was greeting everyone coming thru the door. Excited to come back for a later-dinner. Will add though was expecting the hot sauce to be hot but all of Louisiana has been pretty weak. #shotsfired #mexicanhotsauceisthebest #lovef read more
