    Blackened Catfish + Spanish Paella
    Jim D.

    Last evening, we dined here early about 530 to 630 pm. It was around 70° so we ate outside, which was a great place to enjoy the sun setting over the Belmar marina. We brought our own wine. Can't beat BYOBs - you save so much money. We skipped the appetizers, though by the descriptions, the selections seemed inviting. Anyway, it was probably better not to fill up on an appetizer because I had the huge Spanish Paella, which was not simply quantity but quality - all seafood, chicken, etc. very fresh and deliciously prepared. My dining companion had Blackened Catfish, which was also scrumptious. Service was prompt and friendly. We will be back soon.

    Chicken & Shrimp Jambalaya

    Went to the Ragin Cajun with a very dear friend of mine and we had a stupendous meal. We ended up here because the original restaurant we wanted to go to that night was no longer accepting reservations (to be fair, we were trying to make a reservation VERY last minute which basically undermines the purpose of restaurant reservations in the first place). I don't live super close to the shore (~35 minutes away) and Ragin Cajun was well worth the trek. The little pre-meal thingy they do is bread rolls with butter and roasted (?) garlic. My friend had the genius idea to make a little sandwich out of these three ingredients plus the clams we ordered as our appetizer -- so yummy. The jambalaya was awesome and the portion was MASSIVE. The blackened catfish was awe-inspiring, easily the star of the meal. The sauce (tartar, I think) they paired with the fish was perfect. The service was excellent -- warm, friendly, and charismatic. The ambiance was cozy and unassuming, really reminded you that this restaurant is inside of a gutted home.

    I'm really torn between 2 or 3 stars for this review... my friends and I came on a Friday evening and asked to be seated on the porch (I sat right next to the entrance of the restaurant). They have a screen door that slams shut every time it's opened (unless you're very careful). Even the wait staff were careless.. If you sit inside next to the doors, or on the porch - keep this in mind. I'm regards to the actual meal, we got mac and cheese w/ lobster, coconut shrimp, and asparagus for appetizers. For mains, we got the jambalaya (seafood), Etouffee (steak and shrimp), blackened shrimp and pasta. This is where I'm torn - everything was okay. Nothing amazed us but there were some highlights. The scallops and shrimps on the blackened shrimp and pasta were really good, the pasta was eh though. The Etoufee was unique but nothing to brag about & the beef was way over done. The jambalaya had a kick to it and mussels were pretty good. Why I'm doing a 2 star review and not a 3 is that my friends and I have a strong intuition there's a lot of imitation seafood used & not specified. For example, the lobster on the Mac & cheese w/ lobster had lots of lobster pieces that are most likely imitation meat. For a seafood restaurant to serve low quality seafood or even imitation meat, we were pretty disappointed and felt cheated by the end of the meal.

    Definitely not Creole cooking.. I ordered Blackened Chicken Bites ... full of grease and no seasoning... also had the red beans and rice which is soggy rice and a can of kidney beans... very disappointed

    Excellent food! The setting is small giving it an intimate feel. The rolls are the best along with the blackened shrimp and scallops.

    NEPTUNE CITY: Cats Luck Vegan is a fan favorite restaurant specializing in fun breakfast and lunch…read moreoptions and everything is 100% vegan! The Cool Joe specialty sandwich is MASSIVE and boasts vegan meat, egg, cheese, bacon, and loads of toppings. It is like a vegan fat breakfast sandwich! They offer up a huge assortment of sandwiches, plates like chicken and waffles, smothered fries, crunchwraps, and even a nice gluten free section. There is a full bakery and cafe and they also do catering! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at the outdoor picnic tables right in front of the building. We happened to visit when they were having a garage sale and picked up a vegan cookbook for $1. Check them out on social media for specials and events!

    My mom and I absolutely adored this place, they have so many cute odds and ends so the atmosphere…read moreis amazing, they have post positivity signs and pro choice and eve free stuff for people who need it! As for the food, it was so delicious! Everything from the breakfast, to the wrap for lunch, to even all the deserts was just so fresh! They' even have fresh sauces made in house that was so good nothing I've ever tasted before! Service was amazing, we were greeted and given time to choose what we wanted, served and offered really nice hospitality. If you're in the area or even a little farther it's so worth coming out here, my mother and I came an hour out to try this place and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be making the trip back down here again!
