    the name of the purple shrimp
    Amy S.

    Wow, this was beyond my expectations! As I perused the food vendor at the food hall, I was faced with a very tough decision. I had it down to 2 choices when the cookie lady said she had eaten here in the past (and was waiting for delivery of her lunch today). She said it was great. So here I go.... to the great unknown. I selected the shrimp po'boy from the menu and on the phone we go??? It seems this vendor had an arrangement to use one of the nearby restaurant kitchens and had their chef at the ready. While I was waiting, we talked and I discovered this is a family business... mom, dad and daughter. They were all very personable and a few minutes passed very quickly. As we chat, here comes mom with steaming hot shrimp and the assembly begins. Everything was fresh and delicious. I love my shrimp and this was one of the best po'boys. I highly recommend stopping if you see them. Enjoy!

    One of the best dining experiences I have had. Coming from Atlanta we have a ton of great Cajun…read moreoptions but this really impressed. Everything from the ambiance to the food and even the service was phenomenal. Great dining room area with both an outdoor and indoor bar. We sat with the bartender AB that immediately greeted us with waters and their menu. They are currently running a pick 2 for $15.99 menu that has some pretty great options. We had 2 meals & chose the wings, blackened shrimp po boy with the small gumbo's. Wings were super crispy, juicy, and tender. With a nice light Smokey taste. They buffalo and blue cheese sauce was actually pretty impressive. The po boy had a good amount of shrimp to bread ratio, with a nice sauce included. The gumbo had a deep rich flavor, but was not overly heavy with fatty meats. We were also informed of the happy hour oyster special, so we ended up getting a few of the rockerfella and raw. The rockerfella was amazing with melty cheese, a nice garlic flavor, & served with crispy bread slices. The raw came with crackers, lemon, wine vinegar, and a tasty cocktail sauce. Both were delicious. Marco, the manager came and spoke with us about our experience which really showed the attention to detail this restaurant offers. After sharing our story of visiting New Orleans a few years ago and bragging about the beignets, he brought us 2 out to finish our meal. I have to say, these were better than the ones I've had at cafe beignet in NOLA. They were HOT out the fryer to the point where the powdered sugar was slightly melted. Crisp outside dough but gooey soft in the center. A unreal experience to end a fantastic meal. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Luckily my sister lives 5 mins from this place but I would easily drive a hour or 2 when visiting from out of town just for this experience. Marco and AB really went above and beyond to make sure this was a special outing on a regular ole' Monday, and we could not have left happier.

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance--fun and laid-back, but with a touch of elevated Southern charm.

Their specialty cocktails are excellent--creative, well-balanced, and worth a visit all on their own. We're planning to return this Sunday for their jazz brunch, and I'll update this review afterward. Looking forward to seeing how Sassafras delivers in the daylight with live music!

You can tell the kitchen cares about ingredients and quality--from the first bite to the last. We ordered the burger, a fresh seasonal salad, and a few selections from their oyster menu, which is now one of my favorites in the area. Everything was perfectly cooked, well-balanced, and beautifully plated. The vibe is relaxed but elevated, and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. We also discovered they have a happy hour menu with a great variety of options--definitely coming back to explore more of that. Sassafras strikes the perfect balance between Southern charm and modern dining. Whether you're here for cocktails and oysters or a full dinner, you're in for something special. Highly recommend!

They put together a veggie boil which had potatoes corn and broccoli with garlic butter and seasoning. The table tried mozzarella sticks, fries, onion rings, and hush puppies as well. The rest of the table indulged. My niece got the king crab kings which was listed as market price. You can only a pound, not a half pound. This was $100, but was enjoyed. On weekends they have a special of 1/2lb of shrimp, 1/2lb of snow crab legs and one lobster. A few people opted for this and enjoyed it. Restaurant has a causal vibe. Nothing fancy but still a splurge. Party of 8 and the hill was under $400 when with an order of king crab legs. Definitely worth the price. Plus they allowed us to bring a special birthday cake for the birthday girl and even sang to her. Hannah provided great service the entire night!

    Cajun Express in Royal Palm Beach has quickly become my go-to spot for a mouthwatering Cajun feast,…read moreand it's an absolute gem that deserves all the praise! They provide cajun boils with a fast food approach to ordering and cheaper prices. The ambiance at Cajun Express is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual gatherings with friends and intimate dinners with loved ones. My husband and I go here often when we are craving a good cajun boil. We have always gotten one of their baskets as an "appetizer". We've tried the calamari basket as well as the fried oyster basket and both are a great starter. The dipping sauce that comes with the basket is great! A tip is to ask them to bring out the basket first(or whatever else you want as a starter) if not they will bring you all the food out at the same time. We also always each get a boil. We've tried a lot of their seafood but my favorite is always the scallops, crawfish and clams. YUMM!! The portions are generous, and the prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. Cajun Express truly offers excellent value for money.
