    Crawfish Trio - only the fried tails were good. Everything else flavorless.
    April K.

    The service was fabulous and the employees super friendly. I ordered the crawfish trio. The fried tails and cocktail sauce was really good. The gumbo was good. The étouffée was a really light flavorless roux and very little roux at all. And only the gumbo was temperature hot. My husband got the taste of New Orleans. Only difference between our dishes were he got red beans and rice instead of fried crawfish tails. Red beans and rice also pretty flavorless. We used a lot of hot sauce. The ambiance was cool and definitely decorated for New Orleans.

    The place was slow but wow what a great experience. The food was good and the waiter Kayden was very sweet. The atmosphere is nice . You're eating food while listening to jazz . The desert pecan pudding is good . The prices are great . Nice overall experience. For sure will be going again.belly, welly, jelly!

    Blackened Chicken Pasta

    The food was so good! I got a house salad with the blackened chicken pasta for lunch and they have this special dressing called swamp sauce that can't be topped! The service was great, even met the owners and really made the establishment more of a welcoming atmosphere, and I loved the cute little decorations all around the restaurant. I can't wait to be back!

    Hey another night out on the town in Yukon at "The Big Easy". Ok now this place just hit the spot. Close to home and nice New Orleans vibe. The service was excellent and totally enjoyed the meal. Had the Crawfish Trio, Gumbo, Etouffee and fried Crawfish Tails. Not too spicy. I got to shake the Louisiana on everything and fine tune the heat.

    Red beans and rice

    While out cruising Historic Route 66, aka "the Mother Road," the wife and I decided to have some lunch. My wife and I are former Yukon residents, so she had a hankering for her previous favorite spot. So The Big Easy it is. Upon walking in we were greeted by a nice young lady, who told us to find a seat anywhere. So, that we did. Walking to our tables, we noticed the nice New Orleans decor on the wall to set the mood. Some nice Cajun like music played and we picked our seats. The restaurant had a lot of patrons, so this place had to be good. After a short wait, the nice young lady who told us to grab a seat returned and took our drink order and we perused the menu. As she walked off, the radio switched to "Private Eyes," and we got to enjoy some Hall & Oates. Nothing says Cajun like Hall & Oates! I got a chuckle, and kept browsing the menu. After browsing the menu, it all looked very delicious. My wife and I insisted that I go for the red beans and rice, so that is just what I ordered. Red beans and rice with onions and bell peppers, with a kielbasa blackened type sausage all resting on a bed of rice. Sweet corn also is mixed in. A disclaimer - I cannot say I've really had genuine Cajun food in the past. I'm also not one for the exotic taste of alligator and crawfish, so I steered away from all of that. On my next visit I do plan on venturing out and trying something out of my comfort zone. But for now, I'll stick with the wife's recommendation. For my buddy Jeaux D, if you are reading this, I hope we can still be friends after my Cajun food comments. In good time, the wife and I both received our dishes and began to enjoy them. Our drinks stayed full the whole time while we waited and the staff were very friendly. The sausage was delicious and well seasoned, the rice was great, the beans and corn were delicious. My wife was very satisfied, and stopped short of licking her plate clean. No complaints at all with our food. I recommend this place if your travels being you to beautiful Yukon, Oklahoma. If you decide to get your kicks on Route 66 and want some good food, please stop by this little jewel of a restaurant. Friendly folks, good food, good prices, and great service. Enjoy!

    Blackened Pork Chop and Filet or Ribeye New Orleans
    Taryn K.

    I've always got a hankering for good Cajun, so when I found out about The Big Easy New Orleans Cafe, I was so excited to give it a try! Let me just say that this place HAS IT GOIN' ON. Amazing cocktails, amazing hush puppies (cleverly named 'Shut Up Dogs), amazing entrees, and amazing service! I had the Blackened Pork Chops and was in complete bliss with each bite. The savory blackened seasoning and sauce were truly the stars of the dish! They had so much flavor packed in that I found myself tempted to lick the plate clean. My husband had the Ribeye New Orleans and he was one happy camper! I mean, how can you beat a steak covered in a creamy Cajun seafood sauce? Answer, you can't! I can't wait to return and make my way through more of the menu!

    Amanda was very nice and helpful with her favorite food choices. Love the vibe of this neat 33 year family ran biz. Really took me back to Orleans with blues/Jazz on the radio really good food. Turns out Amanda is the mgr.

    Ok... so the portion size is just about right and the food isn't too shabby. I would say i've had a little bit better.. but this little stop is worth a visit.. I wish i would have had the steak though, b/c I tried a piece of the kiddos steak and it was really pretty darn good! I do hate to give the one piece of criticism... a little more salt/pepper and flavor would have made it go over the top. Also there was something else missing.. cornbread.. bread on the plate.. note sure.. just didn't feel like i had the full nawlins in okie feel. didn't walk away empty though.

    Filet or Ribeye New Orleans
    Alan G.

    We ordered the Ribeye New Orleans: Ribeye on pasta then smothered in a cream sauce of shrimp, crabmeat, crawfish, bacon, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. So good. My one mistake was ordering the steak medium well - don't do what I did. My wife likes it that way but she had wished she ordered it medium as well. The food was great though. Perfectly creamy and spiced. I don't think I've ever eaten steak with pasta but with the addition of seafood... I was pleasantly surprised. This was enough for my wife and I to share but I could see one person being able to eat it though. Came with a side of corn. We also ordered the Seafood Pasta: Good portion. Different cream sauce than the New Orleans. Still really good. Service was good. We got there 45 mins before they closed but called ahead and they were really kind and accommodating saying there's plenty of time to make the steak and not to worry... just come on in! They didn't make us feel rushed and the food came in good time. The staff were wearing masks and tables were distanced for the most part. Check it out!

    I went to The Big Easy to have dinner and had a great experience. Kissner and the staff were very friendly, polite, and helpful. We had Gried Gator Appetizer, Shrimp Royale, and The Taste of New Orleans. The food was great and I will be going back. The restaurant and restrooms were clean.

    Blackened Catfish
    Donn D.

    The prospect of another burger was just about enough to make me commit seppuku so we just had to find something different. I definitely wasn't expecting to find a Cajun food place in the middle of Oklahoma, and certainly not a decent one but The Big Easy came to the rescue and just knocked my socks off! The blackened catfish had a really good flavor, and the blackened chicken and pasta was just too good to be believed. They don't just throw some salt and pepper on their dishes and call them seasoned. They actually Season their food with wonderful spices that tantalize the taste buds and cook their dishes to perfection. I just ate so much, and my only regret is that this place is 965 miles from my house so it's unlikely I will get back here in the near future.

    This was my first visit to a Cheddar's. I came in for lunch on Saturday and was craving Chicken…read moreFried Steak. I was sat immediately. I guess I beat the crowd since it wasn't terribly busy , but there were several tables with families. When I left though , the parking lot and the restaurant was full then. Good timing for me. My waitress was Olivia and she was very attentive and informative since I told her it was my first time. She answered questions and brought me a refill before I had to ask for one and gave me a sweet tea to go when I paid the bill. Now for the food. I had the Chicken Fried Steak on top of Texas Toast , Mashed Potatoes , White Gravy on both , Green Beans , Sweet Tea , and the Complimentary Croissant with Butter. The Chicken Fried Steak came out perfect , not too thick not too thin , good breading , hot , and the gravy was pretty good. It was on a piece of Texas Toast which I'm not used too , but it was fine. Mashed Potatoes were thick , not too creamy , and good. The gravy went well with both and I did add some pepper since I like mine more peppery . Green Beans , well they threw me off. I was trying to find out what the strange flavor was in them and I had to ask Olivia. She told me it was Sugar , what ? I knew I was tasting sweet and thought it was Honey which would also be kind of weird in Green Beans. I saw little pieces of Onions and she told me they use Bacon and Sugar and I think Butter. When I make Green Beans I use Garlic Salt and Butter and sometimes Bacon , but not Sugar. Complimentary Croissant was just okay , but I would've preferred a Yeast Roll with Cinnamon Butter. Sweet Tea was just right also. I'm originally from South Carolina and sometimes back home it's really sweet , but as I've gotten older I like it a little toned down , but not under sweet. I talked to Olivia about the Baby Back Ribs and will be back to give those a try and maybe bring my Son and his Wife with me. The restaurant was clean and organized and the staff was friendly. I also got a Veteran Discount which I appreciate. I would recommend to anyone if they've never tried a Cheddar's.

    Service alright and although it was Mother's Day our party of 8 was seated in about 20-25 minutes…read more Food was average at best. Ordered a burger and fries. Asked for medium for the burger and it was at most medium rare. Fries were like warm by the time they got to the table. Restaurant was clean and neat but we were seated near one of the kitchen entrances so got to listen to the employees yell "corner" every 30-60 seconds. For the price it's not worth returning.
