Stopped in for a belated birthday. We originally planned to go to the downtown location, but they were closed for renovations (with no notice online). The Pelham Road location is roomier with a better layout, so it worked out in our favor. The food was the same, and the service was over-the-top good. I couldn't tell you the last time I've experienced that level of service. The only warning I would offer is that the portions are very generous. Unless you are a competitive eater, get the smaller size and order a variety. Everything is great. read more

Easy and convenient, if mostly fried. Mrs. and I stopped here because she was drawn in by "Shrimp Po Boy" and I'm perfectly okay with that. When she knows what she wants for dinner, I'm going to cooperate. The restaurant was not busy at 6pm on a Friday evening so we were seated immediately at a table and drink orders taken. When our drinks arrived, we ordered dinner. Quick. Like less than five minutes. A big sandwich with Mrs. that arrived with a plate of fries. And a plate of catfish and shrimp for me, also with a stack of fries and the cole slaw. All of it was okay. The catfish was light and flaky and not overly battered. Fresh from the frier. The shrimp were also lightly battered and lightly spiced. The TON of fries we had were delicious. Cooked properly, served hot and with a nice zingy spice on them. Overall, a good experience. Solidly four stars. [Review 486 of 2026 - 1414 in South Carolina - 25668 overall] read more

Great meal great service. Caught them at the end of the night on a Monday. I want with the pick 3 and settled on seafood gumbo chicken jambalaya, chicken and sausage gumbo. I got crawfish étouffée, but it had a funny taste so I substituted the chicken and sausage combo. No issue from the server when I asked to switch it out and they brought it in a hurry and it was steaming hot! My coworker kept it simple and got fried catfish and french fries. We both enjoyed our meal! read more

Ordered online for pickup. The food was just okay, but way overpriced for what you get. Catfish etouffe needed more seasoning. Hush puppies and shrimp were delicious, but an additional $8 for four small shrimp is ridiculous. read more

Leslie is an excellent waitress! I had a coupon from a booklet in the mail for $15 off when you buy an entree and 2 drinks. The fried okra was salty ,crunchy and irresistible! Even the grandkids liked it. The shrimp PO boy sandwiches were very tasty! Good, hot fries. Cute ambiance. Colorful Cajun posters and souvenirs adorn the main wall. read more

Catfish and Shrimp platter is served with fresh fries and coleslaw with a lemon wedge. The fish is fresh and the shrimp are delicious. Only downside is there are no hush puppies served in the platter. Maybe an à la cart add on. The portions are amazing and excellent for a seafood lover! The batter is perfect and light with a great crunch and flavour. This place is a must try for anyone who is visiting this area in travel and is looking for a true service in southern hospitality with seafood. A hidden gem that only the locals know about and now you will be surprised by this amazing restaurant too! Plus there is a very cute Cat Artwork on display in this place. So adorable! read more

Seated immediately. There was a New Orleans type theme decor. Our server Megan was outstanding, very helpful and friendly. This was our daytime here so they gave us 6 samples of their gumbo type dishes. I like a couple of them but didn't care for a few. I really liked the chicken and sausage gumbo, my wife liked the red beans and rice. My wife ordered a bowl of the red beans and rice and an order of Cajun fries. I got a small fish, oysters, and shrimp combo and a cup of the chicken and sausage gumbo. We both really enjoyed our meals. I would order any of those again. I would eat here again! read more

If you a lucky to get J as you server you be even more satisfied. Handsdown the food is amazing

Good food. Laid back atmosphere. We had the gumbo, lobster bisque, and beignets with caramel sauce. All very good. The only thing I didn't like was the red wine was served in thin plastic cup with mediocre wine. But will still definitely, 100% come back again. I was surprised to learn they've been here for 11 years! read more

My wife and I stopped by The Lost Cajun during the SEC Tournament, and we were glad we did. It's a small place, but the food was excellent. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo Pasta and my wife had the Shrimp Stir Fry. Both dishes were delicious, flavorful, and well seasoned. I asked our waitress if the kitchen could tone down the spice level for my dish, and they delivered perfectly. The flavors were still great without being too spicy. We left the game early and arrived before the big crowd, which worked out well for us. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Greenville. read more

This place is themed as if some one from New Orleans moved to Greenville. Lots of Marco gras and other Nola paraphernalia all around. The food was really good and there were quite a few things I wanted to try but ended up settling on the Cajun wings and red beans and rice. Cajun wings are their take on buffalo wings but they have a different type of sauce. Slightly tangy and slightly spicy. The wings were their take right size, not those giant oversized ones you get at some restaurants. Overall quite tasty. Red beans and rice was pretty standard. Small chunks of sausage in the bowl with red beans and a scoop of rice in the middle. My server was attentive, quick, and friendly. read more

Wow. It's been awhile since I've been to one of these restaurants. The service was great. I ordered the gumbo soup first. Then the Red Fish Bien. It was one of the best dishes I have had in years. I do travel a lot and this was excellent. Really glad I stopped in tonight. read more

Food was plentiful and tasty. Ambience was the eclectic but welcoming vibe so endearing of NOLA. Service was busy, but totally rocked it and was so fun and friendly. read more

This is a chain restaurant serving mediocre Cajun food. Concept is good, atmosphere is OK. I had the VooDoo Pasta and it was listed as spicy on the menu, however it wasn't spicy or flavorful at all. I had to use a lot of their seasoning salt and Tabasco to get it to have any flavor at all. I sat at the bar and the service was quick, friendly, and efficient. read more

Wonderful! Quick, friendly service, fun atmosphere and delicious food! Told the waitress it was our first visit and she brought us a flight of the Cajun favorites to try. We ordered gator bites for our appetizer. They were crispy and delicious with a great spicy dipping sauce. Entrees were the seafood gumbo which was hearty and delicious, and the half zydeco shrimp po' boy with a cup of crawfish Etouffee which was divine. We had the traditional beignets for desert. Wonderful experience! read more

Great Poboy sandwich Cole slaw and okra were delicious! J was a wonderful hostess and made some wonderful tea!!

Always a favorite stop for us when we are in Greenville. Get the red beans and rice and the jambalaya and mix them!! More than enough for two. The hush puppies are great and now they have honey butter, which is an excellent addition because we ask for honey usually. Always pleasant service and clean. We will miss coming here as our daughters graduate! Thank you Lost Cajun for the years of yummy memories! read more

Delicious Cajun food in Greenville? Yes!!! Came by for a late lunch. Ordered the Fried Zydecko Shrimp with Spicy Cajun Sauce Po Boy. Had a nice spice level and the batter in the fried shrimp was crispy and had a real good flavor. Sandwich bread was fresh and toasted. Paid $2 more for Cajun fries and that was a good deal. Server was friendly and food came out quickly. Inside is decorated well to a Louisiana theme and it all works well. Will save room for desert next time! read more

Loved the service, the interaction with the employees, and the food. I had the blackened redfish. It was cooked to perfection on a bed of corn and other Cajun delicacies. And, to top it off, the waitress convinced me to have a beignet. I'm so glad she did! It was great! This restaurant is very unassuming from the parking lot, but full of good stuff on the inside. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did. read more

Got the jambalaya with the blackberry cider which was a great combo. Love the atmosphere and the staff who were super friendly. The portions are perfect and the prices as well. So happy I stopped here for lunch . Would definitely come again and highly recommend! read more

I was visiting from out of town. I ordered crawfish etouffe to go and lobster bisque. When I got to my hotel, they gave me CATFISH etouffe that smelled like it had been fried in overly used rancid oil. I called the restaurant to tell them, and they didn't offer any partial credit, not even an apology. The bisque was ok, but I paid $40 just for the bisque. I understand mistakes can be made but that's when a business/management makes a difference. I will never return or recommend. read more

Let's see I will start with the service and seating had to sit at the bar which was ok but we asked the waitress when a table came open to seat us. WOW her memory was short when we seen one was open she said we couldn't because we asked for bar seats??????? To not make a scene we order food and drinks the were good and the gator and fried mushroom but the bisque lobster soup was horrible there was no lobster I will post the picture of what we got and what we expected. The bartender was amazing price tag very high $$$$$ so come with extra. We ordered and shared would have been washing dishes if we ordered separately lol . (The drinks we ordered separately) read more

Po boys, gumbo, ettoufee, jambalaya all are grest.perfect breaded fried okra. Only miss were the beignits which were leaden We always want to stop here when we pass through Greenville. read more

Service was great. However the food is cheaply made for sure and tasted of lower quality ingredients. The chicken sandwich was lackluster. Food was pretty bland. Edible but won't be going there again. read more

Ample parking due to it being in a shopping center lot. Extremely friendly service. Laid back, casual dining. The food for the most part was delicious. The only thing not to my liking was the lobster bisque, it was very thin and oily. Outside of that everything was seasoned authentically and well. read more

Good seafood with Louisiana flair. Not a good place for takeout as the fried will be soggy by the time it gets home.

Nice little restaurant on Pelham. The service was prompt. The mushrooms were a small portion and a bit bland. The crab cake was thin and really couldn't be tasted in the big bun. read more

For sure not the best Cajun food we've ever eaten, but we had a good experience here. I like the option to order smaller (and less expensive portions) and the menu has a good selection of items to choose from. Shrimp and grits were good, side salad was not great - quite a few past date slimy greens, étouffée was tasty and my son loved his grilled chicken sandwich. Service was good. Food came out pretty quickly. We really liked the casual atmosphere. The Commanders Palace this is not, but if you want quick, cajun themed food, The Lost Cajun is a good choice. read more

Always enjoyed the food, lots of variety and great staff. Samples are a plus if you're not sure

Used to be wonderful but last visit was disappointing. My husband didn't get his entree and it was because either forgot to put order in or kitchen mistake. Manager ignored us and when we asked about a coupon we had when we got the bill, she was rude. I got shrimp and grits and not as good as usual. Grits were dry and some not cooked. Cooks were not the same as ones who had been there for long time. Waitress was clueless. Haven't been back since. read more

Yum! The food is impeccable and the ambiance is like bourbon st! The service can be lacking in efficiency but these days understaffing is an issue everywhere. We've visited multiple times and never had a complaint other than longer wait times. I suggest the voodoo pasta, fried okra, gator bites, crawfish ettouffee, and red beans and rice. read more

I did takeout and had an excellent chicken and sausage gumbo soup. Nice and thick and flavorful.

Just wonderful, the food was on POINT! The ambiance is fun & Mardi Gras-y! Service was very fast. We got catfish & redfish! Crab bites were to die for! read more

Straight bayou goodness with outstanding service!! Crawfish Etouffee had a deep roux (I sprinkled in my fried okra it was so good) and the Lobster Bisque was rich. Varied menu and welcoming atmosphere makes it a Cajun spot for all. read more

Came here for a quick date night and we were so impressed with the service and food. The hostess was so friendly. We were greeted by our server and we told her it was our first time here. She explained everything and gave us some suggestions and also gave us some samples to try which I really appreciated!! The food is delicious and came piping hot. My husband got the fried fish and shrimp platter. It was a huge portion. The batter was light and airy. I got the cajun shrimp alfredo. Sauce was good with the right amount of kick. The shrimp was cooked really well. I would definitely get that again. Great service and food!! Restaurant is smaller than I thought but we had such a good experience. read more

After a long 3 hour bikeride, I wanted some lunch and I wanted to eat outside, so after wandering up and down Main St., we would up at one of the two tiny tippy tables at Lost Cajun. (The sidewalk/entryway wasn't even cement so the table and chairs wouldn't sit level.) Small complaint because OMG the food was SO good. I had a blackened shrimp salad and it was loaded with shrimp that were really yummy! The Italian salad dressing looked like the color of radioactive nacho cheese so I didn't douse my salad greens in it. My husband had cajun fries alongside fried shrimp (only 3) and fried mystery fish (3) and it all tasted great as well. Our server was probably stoned, which I could care less about, because he was a little spacey and when asked about something on the menu, his one word answer was "flavorful" which doesn't explain anything lol. He was really friendly and prompt to wait on us as well. All around really great meal that I'd gladly repeat if I am in town again! read more

Excellent food and customer service. I enjoy it when I visit Greenville. Especially the gumbo and gator bits.

Very disappointed in food tonight. Fries too crispy, shrimp small and catfish too greasy. Much better the last two times we were there. Waitress not very friendly. Looking gorward to it since work was rough today. Not a fan!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. Always stop for lunch when we head to Greenville. Also take home some swamp salt to use between visits
