I'm glad they serve Patton's Hot Sausage here. Too many places serve a regular weiner when you ask for hot sausage. The hot sausage patty was cooked perfectly, but they missed the mark by using the wrong bread. The taste and texture were off because of it. For an authentic hot sausage on a bun, I feel you need Bunny Bread--it's a game-changer!" read more

Food was good and fresh cooked to order. Had the wings and fried rice. Added 2 of the pig feet's

I didn't like seafood before working here and it changed the game! It is a place for a quick bite! If I had to recommend anything to anyone it would 100% be the turkey wing. My grandma is actually obsessed with it because of how flavorful it was! read more

I got a seafood platter, half fish half shrimp. I specifically asked if it was catfish or not because I know some places like to use basa fish (cheaper fish) and just say it's catfish. Yea I'm sorry but I highly doubt that's catfish. I recognize the difference, if you eat catfish regularly then you'll immediately notice the difference. PS - The plate was more full then the photo. I tried to spilt it with my wife but both of us ended up trashing the fish after a few bites. Lol Shrimp was good though. I hate writing bad reviews but I just wish local seafood spots would stop doing this. read more

Cajun Shack NOLA - fried chicken and fries - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Everything fresh clean and tasted perfect. Just the fix when you need some seafood on a friday

Place is a little cluttered and employees are pretty rude but other than food is great.

Came to visit NOLA from Texas. I was overwhelmed by all the seafood places to eat but I ended up picking this place. I'm so glad I picked it!!! Everything was so flavorful and delicious!!! My whole family loved it. I especially loved the spicy crawfish and corn. My sister ordered gumbo which was also great. The snow crab was also delicious, I just didn't have the tool to eat it with :P. I will come here again when I visit NOLA! Thanks for a great seafood experience, Louisiana style. read more

Cajun Shack NOLA - plastic bags of food on a conveyor belt - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Located in between Read and Crowder, Cajun Shack is one of the newest boiled seafood spot to pop up in the East! There was plenty of parking in the strip it's located in and the place is very clean and modern inside. I ordered 3 pounds of Crawfish, an order of Pig Feet, Boiled Corn, Potatoes, and a D&D Sausage to share with my dad. Their crawfish had plenty of flavor and a good spice level to it. Not too spicy, but enough to give you the sniffles and maybe give you a little cajun tear. The boiled corn and potatoes were good, but nothing too exciting. They were very generous with the amount of pig feet for the order and it was delicious! You cannot go wrong with D&D Sausage, that is always enjoyable. Tried them again a week after for their other items. Ordered the Shrimp Po Boy, Hot Sausage with Cheese on Bun, D&D Smoked Sausage on Bun, Fried Wings, Meat Pie, and Crawfish Pie for my family. Everything smelled so good when I opened up my bag and it was hard to restrain myself from digging in immediately. I was patient and was able to take some quick snaps to show everyone my glorious food. My family and I enjoyed everything that I ordered. The shrimp po boy was so so good with great sized shrimps and they were fried and seasoned very nicely! It was dressed perfectly and everything just went well together. You can never go wrong with a hot sausage on bun, but theirs was especially good. They put on two hot sausage patties and every bite I took was so gloriously meaty! I usually do not order smoked sausage on bun, but I am glad I did this time around. The wings and pies were all good, but all just your usual standard items at a seafood spot. Everything I ordered was just spot on! Overall, a great new seafood spot to check out in New Orleans East! The staff is really friendly and eager to serve their customers, I cannot wait to check out their hot foods whenever they come out! read more

I think I come here at least once a month! I love their garlic butter crabs. I normally call in some wings or crab Rangoon before getting there and then order some boiled seafood as well. It's very clean inside and the line moves at a good pace. They have options for beverages and snacks as well! I also highly recommend their chickens wings for a party! I ordered a couple trays for my house party for my birthday and their were no leftovers everyone said the wings were good! read more

Cajun Shack NOLA - Boiled Crawfish, garlic butter shrimp as well as Cajun shrimp - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a convenient location if you live in the New Orleans East area. I've had their red beans and crawfish. The red beans are nice and seasoned and the rice is perfectly cooked. Their crawfish is just hot enough where it's still edible and they taste fresh (some seafood restaurants in New Orleans East have the tendency of using rotten crawfish). The service at this location is pretty satisfactory, I'd say. The employees are friendly and quick. I haven't had a single bad experience with the employees so far. The inside is fairly small, however, and there are no seats or tables, so you might have to sit in your car or stand if your order ends up taking a while. Overall, this place is a solid 4 stars, because I've only tried 2 menu items here and the inside lacks seating. Occasionally, orders will take long but the employees have always told me estimated wait times and were fairly accurate so far. Also, I haven't been to this location since sometime in 2022, so maybe the quality has changed overtime. Apparently, they are available on Uber Eats and DoorDash, however I've never ordered from Cajun Shack online, so I can't really determine if it's satisfactory or not. read more

I was on a study break and was deciding wether or not to get some food. I am definitely glad we came across this place. We couldn't decide on what to get, so we got a bit of everything. Crawfish, Sausage, potatoes/corn, wings, and baked spaghetti. (I honestly wanted to order more like their gumbo or red beans and rice, but I had to control myself) All of the food was great. 1. Baked spaghetti reminded me of when we used to have it for school lunches but better! They added sliced sausage in there too, so it was a little change up from the norm. 2. Crawfish was a great size with a great flavor! Definitely had a kick to it, but is it really NOLA/ Cajun crawfish if it didn't? 3. Chicken wings is my soft spot. We couldn't eat it until we got home, but they remained crispy and crunchy. Wings were a good size especially considering their price for them. 4. Sausage/potatoes/ corn were the typical classic sides! Couldn't go wrong. I will definitely be back. Ive been hearing others talk about their gumbo, red beans and rice, and Shrimp Hi-Hop. I just couldn't get them all this trip without being full for the next 3 years DEFINITELY a place worth trying if you haven't already! read more

The Food is good and service was fast. I've sent friends and family to the restaurant and they like the food too. The only down side is that you have to check with workers to see if the seafood is local. Some of the seafood is not local. read more

One thing I can say is the food and the service are awesome. The seafood is seasoned well. My favorite on the menu is the garlic butter king crabs. I also love the shrimp and broccoli. read more

Highly recommend if it's your first time to New Orleans....it was my First time to New Orleans so I was looking to try something that represented Nawlings cuisine and they delivered! I had the chicken and sausage gumbo (again, for the first time) and was loving every bite!!! It had some kick that wasn't overwhelming, it was welcoming and delicious! Ordered a small gumbo and it was also to my surprise very filling. They had some shrimp, crab and crawfish that I will be back to try before I leave. read more

The service was very good. I ordered 2lbs of boiled crawfish, 1lb of boiled Shrimp and 2 ears of corn. The crawfish was 3/5, it had a good spice but it was sweet... like they added sugar to the boil. The Shrimp was a really good size but very hard to peel, they a bathing in a warmer so probably just over cooked. The Corn.... oh the corn, it looked good but it just wasn't. They must have gotten it from Sam's put the butter in the armed and threw the corn in. It didn't have any of the seafood boil flavor. Overall not great, not terrible but don't think I'll be back. read more

Just freaking amazing. No seating --FYI. Grilled Catfish & Shrimp over fried rice. Legit read more

Cajun shack just opened recently and as a New Orleans native, i am a big fan of seafood!! I came here through recommendations of many friends and family that live in the area because they always tell me how good this new place around the corner is. Today i was craving gumbo instead of crawfish so that's what i got. I can tell you the gumbo is really great and full of flavor! I'm not sure what kind of gumbo style you guys like as there is no "authentic" gumbo anymore nowadays, but i love my gumbo with Okra. This gumbo however does not have okra and that's perfectly fine because it is still delicious. They are very generous with meat. The grill cheese is cooked very well, it's not on the burnt side and not too buttery! Overall i can say that I'll be coming back here and also joining the group of friends and family that recommend Cajun Shack NOLA. read more

Delicious and Customer Friendly!! I certainly enjoyed their shrimp Poboy!! I can't wait to go back for a visit!

It was good but it would have been even better if the delivery driver didn't take half my meal

Great food & great service. Doesn't look like much when driving by but we read some reviews before we stopped and was not disappointed. This is definitely a grab and go place. If possible order ahead. But the food was excellent. read more

The food was great!! I had and fish and shrimp plate. And my friend got the baked spaghetti with cheese on top with a side of jambalaya that was also good. read more

Not going to lie, wings boiled crabs and Turkey necks are good and tasty. But it's not worth the wait. I've had enough I'm pregnant at 30 weeks and this is the last time I will ever place an order over the phone. I place the order over the phone to be proactive so my good will be ready by the time I arrive. It's always the same excuse. "We had a lot of orders and yours is about to come out now." Each three times I've had to request a refund only to see they had just began my order. How frustrating when I am a regular and pregnant. I'm done getting my hopes up with them. And each time all I ordered were wings only. Highly annoying and frustrating service. read more

Service was great! They let us sample their crawfish and the gumbo. We also got a turkey neck. My family came to new Orleans for crawfish but came when it was out of season. We ordered about 5 lbs of the crawfish and it was tres spicy! There gumbo was good. Prices are decent. The only downside is that you can't really eat in there. We had to go to a park nearby but they five stars is for the customer service. They were great and very friendly! Will come back to try the crawfish when it is in season! read more

THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY!! Everything that I've tried here is Amazing! Their wings and fried turkey wings has such a great flavor! The price is good for the amount of food you get! And the boiled seafood has a good balanced of flavor and spice! Will definitely be back sooner than later. Also, the staff is all very friendly and nice. Clean establishment! read more

Wing plate with fries is so salty. Called and complained and the person answering the phone is rude says thats how the batter is made. I had some friends who said the same thing just asking for the salt to be a choice an add on want be eating or recommending this spot.

Best Gumbo in New Orleans!!! That gumbo had me going back for more... Crawfish is fresh and delicious!!! I usually go to Castnet... but Cajun Shack has gained a loyal customer!!! Every item on menu is delicious from the meat pies to the broiled seafood to the burgers. You can't go wrong at Cajun Shack!!!! read more

I had the pleasure of eating there last night. I ordered a shrimp and oyster Po boy and also the Dungeness crab. Both were delicious. The owner is very nice and let me sample several items on the menu. The gumbo was delicious as is the crawfish and red beans and rice I highly recommend going here. I will be having dinner here again tonight read more

I enjoyed the hot sausage on bun with fries but the taste didn't make me feel like eating all of it, because you smell and taste the grease.

We walked into the place and it's a completely takeout restaurant no seating we got there around 6:30 when the website says they close at eight and they told us over not taking orders we're just selling seafood think of crawfish by the pound and that was that it's in a sketchy part of town read more

Went to get their famous Fried Turkey wing it was very good . I will definitely return for another one .

First time in NOLA and wanted to see what the boiled shrimp was like at this place. It was very tasty. My only complaint was that I was expecting for there to be more liquid in my bag as it was delicious. This is not a sit in place so be aware. Customer service is amazing. read more

Amazing food! Great price points for large families. Great Costumer service. Highly recommend!!! Can't wait to come back!

You know it's good when you get a craving for their garlic butter crawfish and potatoes every now and then! Their garlic butter sauce is finger lickin' good. Also here's a tip to get the most of it (and also a quick dinner hack): with leftover crawfish or potatoes, I add them into my cajun Alfredo pasta and the garlic butter sauce and its cajun seasoning creates a perfect balance with the pasta! read more

Best blue crabs (with eggs) I had for years. The boiled shrimps were colossal in size. The spice in boiled shrimps and crawfish were excellent. The gumbo is really tasty with lots of chicken, sausage and chopped crabs. Highly recommended!!! read more

The BEST garlic butter crawfish ever!! I usually don't write reviews but these crawfish changed the way I eat and see crawfish! On top of that there shrimp poboys are always fresh and delicious. Plus they are always nice whenever I go in there! read more

Today I went in and spent 50.00 in crawfish and the crawfish was spoiled I then called Cajun shake and the man told me maybe it was my taste buds I then told him that 3 other ppl tasted it and they said it was spoiled . The man told me this is fresh crawfish and it was me and my tastebuds instead of his food ....the crawfish guts where pink inside it and was also dark colored with a sour taste. I'm highly dissatisfied and will not be returning read more

The food was GREAT. I love their fried chicken wings and fried rice. Everything is reasonably priced for the quality and quantity, however, there is *no seating,* and it took a while to get our food. If you're in town and you are able to take out food, you will be pleasantly surprised, but again there is no where to sit. read more
