    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 the best meal I've had in OKC in a very long time…read more My wife and I did a little date night. The restaurant isn't much to look at from the outside--just a tiny little white and blue building. Sitting right off 10th, parking is tight as well. Inside isn't fancy, but that's my vibe. There is an outdoor patio I didn't get to check out, but the road noise from 10th is pretty noticeable even inside. Overall the atmosphere feels small town coastal, local, and not pretentious, but does suffer slightly from its location. Service was friendly, and paced as expected for fine dining. Honestly, it's refreshing to not feel rushed at a dinner service. We enjoyed our conversation over a bottle off their (small) wine list instead. We ordered the spring pre fix and it was just ALL hits, no misses. I wrinkled my nose at the menu a bit because I don't particularly love fennel or mint or lamb or hell even salmon but I I have been converted. The food was amazing. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and portioned. The bread...the bread was the best bread starter I've tried. My wife hates oysters and loved the oyster (she tries everything cos she's not a child). The gnocchi was pillowy soft and amazing, not gummy or dense or mushy. The asparagus?! Amaze amaze amaze. 5 perfect courses (6 if you count the 2x different items for the table) for $77 a person?!?! Yes. We're going back asap.

    From local food critic Jared Gleaton Eats full critique…read more Atmosphere and Hospitality: The atmosphere at Sedalia's feels less like a polished coastal seafood house and more like the hidden gem tucked behind a bustling boardwalk fishing restaurant--the kind locals quietly point you toward. We were greeted by Silvana, who warmly led us to our table while Becky guided the service throughout the evening. Plates were seamlessly swapped, water glasses never sat empty, and Becky demonstrated an impressive command of the menu and preparations. Throughout the meal, Zack and members of the kitchen team delivered several dishes themselves, describing each course in detail and offering a small but genuine slice of coastal hospitality. Food: Baked oyster, kent blanc, smoked trout roe, chive breadcrumbs ($35 1/2 Dozen) The dinner opens with a borderline transcendent bite of baked oyster, beautifully balanced and cooked to perfection, singing across the palate. A rich beurre blanc pairs seamlessly with the briny oyster while bursts of smoked trout roe punctuate each bite. The breadcrumbs on the back end provide just enough contrast in texture to round out an immaculate first course. Grilled focaccia for the table, salt cod butter, Szechuan oil, lime, chive, pecorino, balsamic ($15) The grilled focaccia is thick, fluffy, and fantastic. Notes of rich, airy bread give way to salty, buttery layers from the cod butter before finishing with subtle hints of char and acidity from the accompaniments. Barramundi tartare, kumquat, masa nachos, serrano & ancho chilies, spinach ($17) An excellent preparation, the tartare rests atop a thick masa nacho. The barramundi is soft yet slightly firm, its delicate flavor profile lifted by bright notes of kumquat and a subtle heat creeping through the back end from the serrano. Beef tongue anticuchos & la huancaína ($20) The tongue is beautifully prepared--tender with just enough structure. The anticuchos seasoning and huancaína sauce add a nutty, earthy depth that bursts across the palate with each bite. Duck confit pecorino crumble, pappardelle, alubia blanca beans, pecorino ($26) An absolutely beautiful layered dish. The rich duck confit is soft and rich with strong initial notes of pecorino giving way to middle notes of duck and end notes of tomato. Though presented in a tomato based pasta the addition of alubia blanca beans creates a creamy texture that surprises the palate, transforming what appears to be a brothy preparation into something far richer and more complex. Crispy fried hake, mojo rojo, aioli, potato ($23) A thoughtful take on fish and chips. The hake is fried perfectly, with an excellent fish-to-batter ratio. The aioli provides a creamy counterpoint while the mojo rojo adds depth and warmth. Grilled tuna collar with beurre blanc sauce (Special) This special was absolutely stunning and one of the finest bites of 2026. The rich, fatty tuna cheek is tempered beautifully by the creamy, tangy beurre blanc and fragrant tarragon. Each element complements the other, creating a layered, indulgent bite that borders on perfection. Potatoes a la huancaína, ají amarillo, sorghum, olive ($14) This course pushes firmly into transcendent territory. The soft layers of potato are draped in an ethereal ají amarillo sauce that delivers gentle heat while coating the palate in luxurious flavor. Each bite teases you into the next. Honey semifreddo, pomegranate molasses, meringue, citrus ($14) A triumphant end to the evening. The honey semifreddo melts effortlessly on the palate, cleansing and refreshing before giving way to the deeper sweetness of pomegranate molasses and delicate notes of meringue and citrus. A beautifully balanced and borderline transcendent finale.

    Family of Six went for dinner last night so immediately seating upon arrival. The dining area was…read morehot like the AC might've been broken. They had a big fan going. It was warm if it was any hotter outside it would've been uncomfortable and I would've got up and left you eating seafood and then you're sweating in the hall no Bueno. We had the seafood boil. Basically you start out with. They had a Wednesday special which was a pound of shrimp and a half pound of snow crab we add a half a pound of snow crab and we added two eggs. They brought that bag to about 53 $57 I believe yeah so a family of 4 boils and the Kids plate came to $300. FYI we had the calamari appetizer which was so good crispy and then some little squids with bodies was up in there as well. We did the crab Rangoon's order of 12 those were so delicious crispy made fresh. I love the little sweet spicy sauce dividend Yum chef's kiss crab Rangoon's are my guilty pleasure. I could've ate every single one of those. They also have different options besides the seafood boil which we went there for the crab legs. They have fried shrimp fried fish, fried chicken nuggies you know those options as well as oysters really beautiful layout. in there is a full bar where you can sit there and have cocktails drink Ladies Night today night really cool Asian decor inside. See my pictures. I posted. Server didn't come over about six or seven minutes that was disturbing I'm sitting there waiting and waiting she is like would you like something to drink? I'm like of course we would like to drink you know there's no AC and we are thirsty, but she was really pleasant once she got there, sweet tea was on point, diabetic Sweet, just enough yes! they bring you utensils to crackers the claws, the bib, the gloves she brought extra gloves out I went with just the butter garlic butter sauce, mild flavor I didn't want heartburn. The kids got the royal crab special, which is like a mixture of all the flavors. They said that they got the medium spicy and that was hot and they like spicy so be careful on the spice levels they're hitting with that. They got the Thai Chili's up in there. Yeah the food came out. Appetizers came out quickly once we got the order going then we got our boils, but my boil came out and she walked out the owner. I believe she was Asian. She was like your bag has extra claw in there and I was like huh and so my daughter was missing a claw basically a half pound and she was like can you open the bag? I was like what like she wanted to reach in the bag and pull the claw and put it on my daughter's bag and I'm like oh my God what anyways they messed up and they actually gave me an extra claw on my daughter was shorter the claw and you know I'm already in my bag digging yes starting to eat and she literally brought the bag out was like can you just give her claw out your bag I did but no ma'am excuse me you need to replenish that claw that is you guys mistake I've already started cracking claws eating on this and then you want me to hand her something out of my bag. I'm already digging in mind you I had one hand with the glove and one hand without a glove yeah my daughter, but if it was anybody else like I don't want their germs and they don't want mine that was a little bit of gross but you're that hard up for one claw nasty nasty. I hate to see the kitchen like for real if you actually dropped the claw on the floor. They're picking that shit right back up. I know you're eating what's inside of it but it's still just a thought of it. Just a thought of it anyways Parking is fine. It was never busy but I said it was hot the food 10 out of 10 Service seven out of 10 the lady asked me to get the claw out of my bag and hand it to my daughter zero out of 10 ma'am, no thank you
