A bit of New Orleans in Canton, GA, Cajun Menu is the French quarters dream dining experience. YES, I recommend this place and Tyler or host/waiter. Ask him about the off menu items, trust me they are delicious. Just so you know you're here for the authentic New Orleans food, not the decor. The food is cooked up upon ordering so it does take a little bit longer than a traditional restaurant . Order up!! The design is still a work in progress, but the food is the real adventure. We dove right in on our order and started with etouffe and queso dip & boudin balls( off the menu item). This was served with our drinks so we casually enjoyed each morsel. We then were served our entrees: deep fried catfish etouffe on a bed of rice, the gumbo is off the chain there is lobster and alligator in it, the room is perfectly made for the gumbo as well . Then the crawfish etouffe is also superb. My complements to the chef, 20 years in Mississippi & Louisiana area, you brought me home. Thank you ! We topped off our lunch with the fluffiest beignets ever. The atmosphere is delightful, the food is scrumptious I highly recommend this spot for lunch or dinner. read more

The food was very flavorful. Food was a 4.8 out of 5. Food portion 4 out of 5. They were a bit behind on our pickup order but the owner kept us company while we waited and he was super friendly and fun to talk with. They haven't been in the space very long since starting last September. They made the old space look good and I can imagine it becoming very lively during Mardi Gras. Please Canton locals, let's not let this place fail. We have too many chains and not enough flavor like what these guys are bringing. read more

Friendly greeting upon entry and seated in a booth. They also have tables including high tops. Although not leveraged they have a patio with a pergola that might be leveraged in the future. As an older building there was a slight funky smell, but not too overpowering. I started with the sampler platter and each item had a hint of heat to accent their savory flavors. The Red Beans & Rice had a good flavor, but with so much liquid it was more of a soup. The same for the Étouffée which also only had a hint of rice. The dark roux chicken and sausage gumbo had big chunks of chicken but I didn't see any okra. For my entree I had the fried Shrimp Po'Boy and it was a generous serving for a "half" sandwich on nice French bread. It was stuffed with lots of shrimp that had a good meal coating. The sauce drizzle had a sweet and spicy hint to hit with just an undertone of tanginess. Service was friendly and other staff were prompt to clear plates and check in on me. However, the waitress wasn't very present and I was unable to get a refill near the end of my meal. And there was an extended wait to get my check. A staff member told me that after they get their liquor license, that they will offer bread pudding in a bourbon sauce, and I'm looking forward to trying that. read more

5 Stars here!!! Service: Super Friendly and Slightly Slow for all the right reasons! Staff and owners were great. Service slightly slow, but only because everything is fresh and piping hot when it came out! My family and I will wait a little longer any day to get hot and fresh food. Food: Delicious!! My family and I are from Louisiana and have been saddened by the lack of authentic Cajun food (including trying Henry's). This stuff is spicy, flavorful, well-salted, and awesome! We are impressed and will definitely be going back. It's good to have real Louisiana food again. PLUS, they're actively working on adding southern comfort food dishes for people who do NOT like spicy food. They are for the people. ALSO, the owner shared with us that they use beef tallow to fry everything-the difference is noticeable in the best way. Menu: Best part about the menu is not having to order gigantic, full portions! Majority of the entrees have options to get a Half or Full order-perfect for a smaller portion or sampling multiple things. Vibe: Totally Louisiana, Cajun, Mardi Gras vibes in here! They played traditional Zydeco music over the speakers (if you know you know). The owner was great and friendly. We struck up a few conversations with him throughout our meal. You can tell he and staff strive to ensure their customers are happy. Price: super reasonably priced considering the authenticity and the high quality ingredients they use. Overall: We are thrilled to have discovered this new place (open for about four months now). We will be spreading the word. Good food and good times for real Louisiana food! ------------------ What we tried: Red Beans & Rice- super flavorful Chicken and Sausage Traditional Gumbo- dark and flavorful roux, PLENTY of meat (they don't cheat you on that) Crawfish Etoufee- buttery and delicious, plenty of crawfish every bite, nice spice and good crab boil type of flavor Seafood Gumbo- again, plenty of meat, good flavor, dark roux Crawfish Basket- probably best fried crawfish I've ever had. It's anything but bland-tastes like boiled crawfish that was flash fried or something Shrimp Basket- good shrimp, good size, batter was good and crunchy & not too thick Alligator Piquant- tomato-base and rich. Loads of flavor-if you're worried about the alligator part, don't be!!!! Tastes just like chicken just better somehow. Beignets- Supreme! Must order !! Super soft in the inside, thin and crispy batter on the outside, super hot and fresh, powdered sugar completes it, of course. read more

Must try! Authentic Cajun choices, and the ability to try small samples prior to ordering. Adding comfort food choices to menu this week. Across street, on right side, from Walmart near Quality Inn entrance. GPS stopped me early, so kept driving back. Owners encourage feedback, and both stopped by the table. Saves a long trip to NOLA, stop in and enjoy a Hurricane!or Abita as well.... Military discount. Highly recommended. read more

Just enjoyed Fun Lunch Friday at this new place! If you want real Cajun, this is your place! The flaky bread on the Po-Boy, the gumbo roux is dark and delicious and the crawfish étouffée was full of flavor! Mama is in the kitchen and does it right! and They give you a cash discount! They did just open. So give them grace! They are working things out. We love to support local and will be back! The manager made our visit enjoyable and even gave us a taste of the crawfish étouffée! Good luck to them! Hope Canton shows them some LOVE read more

This place has been getting rave reviews, but I think a more realistic review is in order. 6 Hushpuppies for $8, in a bowl with no dipping sauce. I could ask for it, but I think presentation is important. It was just large marble sized hushpuppies in a bowl. Ordered Crawfish Etoufee for $32 as my entree. It was ok. Again, just crawfish over rice with a roux. No bread to mop up the roux. I like my etoufee with tomatoes, peppers, green onions and celery. Clam juice or seafood broth, Cajun and creole seasoning. Wife got a Po-boy, nothing exciting about a Po-boy. Total bill was $79. 4% added since I paid with a card. No music playing, no LSU tiger swag on the walls, no alcohol, plain restaurant. Very little theme. Better experience can be had at Flatlands in Alpharetta. And their etoufee is only $24. read more

So happy we finally tried this restaurant. It absolutely lived up to the hype. The shrimp po-boy was outstanding, with large, flavorful shrimp tucked into classic Leidenheimer bread that had a perfectly crisp crust and a light, airy interior. Everything was clearly cooked to order, and the service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. For dessert, the Cajun mud cake was a must: rich, gooey, and intensely chocolatey in the best possible way. We'll definitely be back. read more

The Cajun Menu - Beignets. Light fluffy and absolutely perfect. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Canton, Georgia

Hate to say it but the fact of the matter is the good was horrible. Staff were great & friendly, it's a shame the food wasn't. Appearance / ambiance inside was bland and dreary. Way over priced, a bowl or Red beans & rice $30. Pretty insane. Étouffée. Very fishy tastes not good. read more

Great new restaurant in Canton. Service and food was excellent. Food was made to order and tasted delicious. Definitely want to come back and try more items. read more

Unfortunately, we would not go back. The Cajun Menu is severely understaffed and unorganized.

I had the Gumbo with seafood and sausage. It was delicious. I was there visiting my sister, we are both from Chalmette, Louisiana.

This whole entire place was amazing from the servers to the owners! Very authentic Cajun Louisiana cooking. Everything is made fresh to order and served. The Louisiana Cajun vibes inside are spot on! If you want true Cajun food this is the place to come!! This place gets 5 stars from me. I am originally from south of I-10 in Louisiana so I know Cajun when I see and eat it! read more

The Cajun Menu - This is real homemade crawfish entoufee. Cooked to order. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Canton, Georgia

The food was authentic and amazing - we had the low country boil, crawfish étouffée, and shrimp and grits. Each dish was truly Cajun, a special recipe, and incredibly flavorful. The food was spicy, which I like, but the owner said the spice can be customized. The restaurant recently got a liquor license and the whiskey sours were good, too. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife team. The husband made great conversation with each table and even told us that if we don't like what we order, they'll make something else, even if it's made correctly and we just decide we don't like it. We loved everything lol, so that was a non-factor. read more

Excellent Cajun meal! Save the trip to Louisiana!....They will not disappoin! Best seafood gumbo. read more

Very welcoming! We have been waiting with anticipation for the opening in Canton. Thank you! The shrimp and grits were authentic, the crawfish ettoufe' was incredible. We were gifted a sample of the red beans and rice that was so good choosing the crawfish was tough to decide. We won't just be back, we'll be regulars! read more

"The Cajun Menu" - During Their Soft Opening, Jasper, Georgia Hey, dawlin! This New Orleans Girl is here to tell you that this is the real deal. The owners, family, and staff are awesome! The family is from Cocadrille, Louisiana! Ya know where dat is? Right in de heart of Cajun Country. Like me, John, who owns the restaurant with his wife, has been cookin since the age of 2 with a chair pulled up to de counter with his mama. That's how we do it down there. His son, Ethan, impressively runs a well-organized kitchen at the young age of 17; cooking since he was a little boy as well. Taylor gave us great service today on her birthday, as did the rest of the staff who came by. We had a great visit with them! Now for de food! This is de real deal! Not like other restaurants that say they are Cajun and serve food the way they think Cajun food is. ***This is Cajun food and it is done right, just as they do in Cajun Country!*** The three of us ordered: 2 shrimp po' boys, a roast beef po' boy, and a cup of seafood gumbo. They even brought out a nice portion of their seafood boil to us as lagniappe (which means "a little something extra" for y'all you aren't from there). Thank you for that! The po' boys come dressed (lettuce and tomato) or without, your preference. We chose dressed. The shrimp are battered nicely, well sized, and are perfectly fried. Their Cajun Mayo adds a splendid spicy kiss to this goodness. The roast beef po' boy with debris gravy goodness is on point. The roast beef itself is slow roasted for 10 hours to falling apart goodness. Scrumptious! The seafood gumbo is different than what you are used to but the flavor is on point and the meat is very tender. Generous portion of rice. The shrimp amazingly are not overcooked. Remember, gumbo can be made a lot of different ways. Their gumbos take 2 days to make in order to get the desired flavor. (Takes me 2 days also.) It was a generous portion (about 16 ounces) for a cup of gumbo and we all enjoyed it immensely. Next. Let's talk about the boil. They do it differently from what I'm used to (no corn, potatoes, onyum, or garlic) but wow! No complaints about this bowl of heaven! Today it had shrimp, andouille, and mushrooms. Oh, mannnn, we have never had mushrooms so good. The flavor and beautiful spice made me see Jesus. I'm pretty sure I wasn't not the only one at that table. I wish I'd gotten some boil to bring home. There's some seriously good spiciness up in here!!! You can taste the love! ***Note that the bread you see in the pictures is not the bread you will get. They had a bread situation today and while it was fresh, it's not the bread they normally carry. Don't worry, you'll get French Bread when you get there and your po' boy will also be longer.*** Ambience: The dining room itself has lighting for daytime and really cool lighting for nighttime, see photos! His mother did the paintings on one wall and his wife took photographs on the other wall. Remember that they are easing into their business and this is a soft opening as they work out the kinks. More things will be added and adjusted. Beer and wine will be offered. You may have to BYOB for the moment - feel free to call and check with them about that. We can't wait to go back! My rating: 5 out of 5 beans! Now, get in your car and go treat yourself! Bring your family and friends! read more

This place is the real deal. I give places that say Cajun food with a grain of salt anywhere in Georgia and this food is just as delicious if not more than back in Nola. Shrimp poboy is spot on. I tried the sample dish and it was delicious but not $25 for 3 small bowls. I will definitely return and get the full portion of the crawfish étouffée. It was the best I had in many years and full of delicious and fresh crawfish. Service was excellent and never had to ask about getting a refill on any drinks because a fresh one was always there before we even noticed we needed one. We will definitely return as soon as the liquor license is passed. Only negative thing about the menu is no Bread pudding. We also don't mind having to pay more for fresh seafood and not some freezer burn rubbery stuff. read more

I had the poor boys sandwich, man oh man it was delicious and sloppy just like it's supposed to be

What a great evening! Dinner was awesome, drinks were potent, service was exceptional! Great experience! Highly recommend The Cajun Menu!

Don't deny yourself the opportunity to eat some delicious Cajun food! We were there for the first time this evening and glad we did. The service we received was top tier and they made it clear they were going to be sure we were happy. Where else do you have the Owner come around and check multiple times to be sure you loved what you're eating. And guess what.... If we didn't like it, he'd replace it with another dish. I had Shrimp & Grits and it was very flavorful and bordered on my limitation for spicy. Spicy isn't my strong suit but while the Owner offered to replace it ( I said NO but mentioned it would be extra good with a beer! ) He told me to request slightly less heat the next time & I will. Hubby has the Red Beans and Rice with Sausage & enjoyed every last bite. And guess what.... They have half orders and full orders to please everyone! Do yourself a favor and give this 4 month old restaurant a try. It's a great change of pace for the area! read more

We came in for lunch. Family of six. We spoke with the owners who explained their philosophy of their menu. We tried samples of many items. I can honestly say I enjoyed everything we tried. We all got different entrees to try. Everything was delicious. You definitely get your moneys worth. read more

About our 5th time eating here and is awesome every time. The service and food are top notch, the food is authentic Cajun using fresh ingredients and seasoning, with most dishes prepared for hours at a time. The cost here is justified by the quality of food and experienced chef dedication to their craft. WORTH EVERY BITE. Do yourselves a favor even if it's just a treat once or twice a month and enjoy. read more

Friends & I went on Sept 3, 2025. Service was outstanding and the food was terrific! We started w crab dip, then had red beans/rice, a combo plate, and gumbo. Everyone in our party said their dish was tasty, hot, fresh & overall 5 stars! Highly recommend!!BTW, did I mention the Service?? Server never let drinks get empty and was so personable!! We loved every minute of our visit. we will go back!! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! As someone born in Louisiana and with my entire family being from there, I can say without hesitation--The Cajun Menu in Canton is the real deal. Y'all, this food transported me straight back home. We started with the gumbo appetizer, and it was perfection. Then came a roast beef poboy and a crawfish poboy that were so spot-on, I had to remind myself I wasn't sitting in New Orleans. To say they were "to die for" doesn't even cover it. While waiting, the owner and her husband came to our table and introduced themselves. Nicest people you could ever meet--and you can tell her love language is food, because she surprised us with a little "flight" of samples. We were absolutely blown away. The crawfish étouffée? Best I have ever eaten in my life. And I've had it a million times. Rich, flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth incredible. The red beans and rice? Let's just say my Maw Maw would've handed the kitchen right over to this fine woman. That's how authentic and delicious it was. And then the beignets... listen. I'm about to commit a Louisiana sin here, but they were hands down better than Café du Monde. Yes, I said it. On top of all that, our server Kelly was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and on point all night. If you're from Louisiana and miss home cooking--go here. If you just love phenomenal food and genuine people--go here. Run, don't walk. This place is a treasure, and Canton is lucky to have it. 10/10, no doubt about it. read more

My husband and I were very excited to try a new place for lunch. We were horribly disappointed. The decor was extremely tacky and dated. For a new restaurant it was decorated with what looked like hand me downs from the 70's. When we arrived there was only one table occupied. The hostess/waitress handed us silverware and menus and pointed toward a booth and said sit there. 20 minutes to get a water and a tea. Ordered alligator bites. Greasy and very salty. Obviously frozen. My husband's chicken Alfredo was served in a very tiny bowl not big enough to eat out of without making a mess. Made with canned chicken. I ordered shrimp and grits. Disgusting. Overly salted and for $23 you would think it would have more.than 4 shrimp and one tiny little sliver of sausage. Not even a full slice. I complained. The owner came and instead of apologizing for the food quality, she proceeded in giving us a unsolicited history lesson that shrimp and grits was not Cajun. I hope that no one else has to endure their so called restaurant. We now know why there was no one there. We love Cajun food. Having been frequent visitors to New Orleans we really expected better. If you are gonna advertise "Cajun" at least learn how to make a decent roux! read more

We tried "The Cajun Menu" today for the first time. We ordered the seafood gumbo, shrimp and grits, and the red beans and rice. We also sampled the crawfish étouffée. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The portions are very generous. Customer service was outstanding. We will definitely be back to support this family owned local business. read more

We had lunch today at the Cajun Menu. The interior is very basic and the light in certain areas is not good. My wife ordered the seafood gumbo. We were told they did not have it. This struck us as being odd since Wednesday is the first day of the week they are open. She ordered the chicken and sausage gumbo. The gumbo was more like chicken and rice soup with some pieces of chicken and sausage. It did not look like it had been prepared with a roux like most gumbos we have had elsewhere. I had the crawfish Alfredo. It was a lunch size portion in a small bowl. The taste was good, a bit of heat. The pasta was cooked well. However it costs $28.00 which is high for lunch. And it comes with nothing- no bread or a salad. When I asked the server about their fried shrimp, fried crawfish she said it was not anything special and it's just fried stuff! I have never had a server talk down their restaurants food. They had no specials today. I was told to check their Facebook page which I did before we went. It has not been updated for days! While we were eating our lunch, our server started turning the chairs over the tables to close for the afternoon. This made us feel like we were eating in a closed restaurant. read more
