Went looking for Cajun food for Mardi Gras & Tim's was so fun and good we went 2 nights in a row. Pros: - Everyone is treated like family, Tim comes around and talks to every table. - The food is authentic Cajun cuisine with loads of flavor - large portions - live music and fun atmosphere - food and drinks specials weekly, check their socials - love the decor, feels like Louisiana in AL - the sweet roll that comes with platters is phenomenal!!!! Cons: - Very busy (was a holiday weekend), which is great for them - could just be slow w service at times. - Expensive priced crawfish compared to other spots in town $45 for 3lb w potatoes corn and sausage. I know it travels a ways to get here, just still pricey - Smoking area in garage/bar seating *if that bothers you* - cold out back depending on the time of year read more

Had the displeasure of eating here this evening. We ordered three different plates for the table, and every single one came out cold, not just lukewarm, but like it had been sitting in a refrigerator and never reheated. The only items that were actually hot were the catfish and a hotdog. Our waitress took about 20 minutes to come back and take our order, and after the food was delivered, we didn't see her again for quite a while. That meant we never had the chance to mention the food was cold, couldn't get refills, and were left sitting there waiting for the check. When she finally returned roughly 25 minutes later, she saw that most of the food was untouched and didn't question it at all. At that point, we just paid and left. To make matters worse, there's a section of the ceiling actively leaking a dark, sticky substance that looks like honey, which is pretty concerning. The pepper sauce for the greens also had peppers that had turned completely white, not even a tiny of green or yellow anymore. Overall, a very disappointing experience. We won't be returning. read more

*sigh* When you are looking forward to some Cajun but just doesn't deliver. Service good, food eh.... Got the seafood Gumbo and seafood platter. Wife got one shrimp in the gumbo and her side green bean casserole was something that more closely resembled a microwave dinner. I've had better Cajun in middle of nowhere Colorado than whatever this was. If you are deciding, I would pass and find something else that fits your fancy. On the hunt now to find some good Cajun near Huntsville. read more

You can't beat Tim's for authentic Cajun food esp their boiled crawfish. They even got the dipping sauce game on point. We had some boudin balls also not pictured but they are amazing. Great staff and service even tho it was slammed due to crawfish season but that's expected on Friday and Saturday nights. Their outdoor section with live music will make you feel like you're actually in Cajun country with all the decor and vibes of bayou life. read more

I liked this place, with a few reservations... Pros: Parking was a breeze (there's a lot), though we came during off hours--also meant no issue with seating. Service was lovely. The boiled shrimp were tasty, had some spice, and came out quickly. My shrimp po' boy was good (if a bit skimpy on shrimp for the price). The bread was nice, and I enjoyed the Cajun fries (note: they're salty, but I didn't mind it). Crawfish po' boy had much more stuffed in it and was nicely cooked. I didn't think prices were outrageous (the shrimp were a bit high, but meh). The fried stuff didn't taste like old grease, nor was it dripping with oil. Cons: I can't speak for the gumbo, etc. but it didn't feel super authentic to me. Next time I'll try one of the "real" Cajun dishes. Will SOMEONE please clean that bathroom. It smelled awful, was tiny, and you could see where (hopefully just) water had come up from the floor drain recently. It was honestly just nasty. Once the restaurant got a few more customers, I could see how the single server was going to have a hard time dealing with all of them attentively. Pepsi products only :( Overall, I'd go again. Practical notes: lunch menu is served daily until 5pm (they also have specials); then it converts to the dinner menu. read more

The alligator is spot on perfect and tender. The boiled crawfish - I wait all year for the post that Tim's has it in. The spice is perfect. I drive about an hour and a half for the crawfish. The only thing I would ask in a perfect world is if the boil started earlier than 4 on Saturdays. But I'll take what I can get! Service has always been great! read more

Tim's Cajun Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

The food was very good. Even our picky eater loved it. We ordered some gator bites to share and they were a table favorite.

Ordered at 11:30 for a Noon pickup. Misjudged traffic and got there at 1215. Food was not ready for pickup. Finally got food about 10 minutes later, everything looks amazing but was soggy. I ordered a catfish PoBoy with fries for myself. Catfish had zero taste & fries were limp & soggy. 1 Coworker ordered a shrimp PoBoy, said his shrimp taste like rubber, same issues with fries. Last coworker ordered Wings, Jambalaya, & Fries. Same issue with fries, Didn't get to the Jambalaya, & the wings were "just okay". For a grand total of $70, this was NOT money well spent. Maybe I will catch the food truck this summer but I will not be back to the restaurant. read more

Came in Sat for lunch and paid $16.95 for 3 overcooked, salty wings, 2 uncooked cheese sticks one was cheddar not mozzarella and the cheese wasn't even melted, and a handful of flavorless shrimp. Table was sticky and it was seriously dark and creepy. Not great service, waited forever just for service. Felt like there was 1 waitress for the whole lunch crew. Will never be back. Ask for a picture...I really wish I had taken one. read more

Still one of my favorite places in Huntsville, but the last three times I have visited they close an hour early. I guess the insufficient staffing bug bit them. Tonight I arrived at 7:10 (they close at 8) after my daughter's practice. The dining area had a generous amount of people, but we were turned away because they "just closed the kitchen." I'm all for that when you need to, but this marks three visits in a row through two months like this...it isn't a one time thing. They should just change their hours :/. read more

Food is good. Although I order the gumbo mostly. Service is good. If they are full house they may be slower but I forgive busy servers. In a old pizza hut read more

I've heard about Tim's Canjun Kitchen so decided to finally try it out. It appears the building used to be a Pizza Hut. With that being said, it is definitely a "mom and pop" type of restaurant. Its decor is definitely geared towards Louisiana, hence "Canjun" kitchen. The restaurant definitely needs some upgrades although it was clean. Our waitress/cashier was super nice and gave us great service. I ended up ordering the gumbo with fried okra and corn nuggets. The gumbo was good, however it was just too much rice. Less rice and more gumbo. And although the okra and the corn nuggets were very crispy (how I like it), they were served a little on the cold side. I almost asked the waitress to pop my plate in the microwave. Last but not least, I tried their famous bread pudding. It was delicious, but once again, it was on the cold side. Not sure if the food is actually cooked to order, but nonetheless it was pretty decent. Not sure if it screams Louisiana, but definitely will come back and try something else on their menu. read more

I wish I took photos but we all ate so fast. When you miss Louisiana Cajun food you need to come here. The staff is friendly, atmosphere is fun & packed full of folks. Crawfish boudette appetizer was amazing dipped in their roulade sauce like a Cajun mayo. Gumbo, jambalaya, red beans/rice, fried okra, green bean casserole & fries AND CRAWFISH WERE ELITE. Bread pudding is the best in town. read more

First time there. I love mom and pops with local flavor. This has plenty. Excellent value. Service was quick. Had the jambalaya with fried okra and deviled eggs. Jambalaya was served in rice, versus pasta with sauce, so different than what I've had before, but it was very good. I am not a Cajun connoisseur so not sure what authentic is or includes. Lunch menu served until 5PM when the dinner menu is served. read more

It has been a few years since last visit to Tim's and I'm so glad that they survived the pandemic and everything!!!! And- the food is still great! The étouffe was full of crayfish, turnip greens were most delicious, fried okra was crunchy but moist and very well seasoned and squash casserole was excellent- great flavor, not greasy, well seasoned. And shrimp po boy was excellent- lots of shrimp, well fried, not greasy and delicious! Service was excellent and for the price- great value! Will definitely return! read more

Had a hankering for red beans and rice with sausage, so we headed to Tim's. Its been at least 15 years since our last visit. Was disappointed all around. The red beans and rice was not very tasty, almost a "muddy" taste to it. WAY too much rice. Green bean casserole had no fried green tomatoes. Bread pudding was super-rich but OK. The place was very clean, if dated. Doubt we'll be back again. read more

Being form New Orleans I love the atmosphere at Tim's. The decorations and decor make me feel like I'm home. I stopped in last Friday to try their meat load special. A large chunk of meat load was served with a side of mashed potatoes. The other side was bread pudding and I love bread pudding. Their bread pudding is more dense that traditional bread pudding, but their sauce is spot on. The absolute winner of the meal was the roll. OMG! Their yeast roll was the best roll that I've ever tasted in my life. I told the waitress how much I liked the roll and she brought a couple extra to the table. So much for the diet, but it was worth it. The service provided by Melissa was outstanding. I need to return to Tim's more often. My ticket was $13.41 before tip. read more

A hidden gem in Huntsville. We came here after the lunch time crowd and had a great experience. We had the blackened chicken salad and a gator po boy. All the good was delicious and the portions were good sized. For dessert we had the bread pudding, and let me tell you, it was the star of the meal! The bread pudding is to die for! Yum! read more

The crawfish étouffée was delicious. Reminded me of the food near Breaux Bridge. Save me a trip to BB

Here's how Tim's Cajun kitchen give them her stacked up 8.0 Pts. The flavor profile you could expect for Cajun cuisine hits of the mark perfectly. I would say if you're going to go to Louisiana to try the cuisine skip it and go here it was delicious to say the least. If you get the gator tail appetizers don't dip them in anything eat them adjust the way they are. I don't think I can eat another bite I was so full the proportions are perfect I would definitely come back. All My Yelps breakdown like this; 2.5 pts =Service, 2.5 pts =Clean 2.5 pts =Food, 2.5 pts =Swagg Grand total= 10 points read more

I ate hear recently and got red beans and rice and fried okra. To me, to be a top Cajun restaurant you need to knock the classics out of the park. Red Beans and Rice is a classic. And Tim's version was just okay. One disappointing thing is instead of long grain or medium rice, they used what appeared to be minute rice. The flavor overall was just lacking. I will say the fried okra was good. The building is an old Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn building. It is dated and that takes away from the overall ambiance. read more

My wife and I went out on a Saturday night, and service was fast and friendly. This is usually our go to spot during crawfish season. Their house sauce is hands down the best around, and crawfish are seasoned well. We ordered the 3lb crawfish platter for $29.99. The crawfish were pretty large so we got less of them and unfortunately went home hungry. Not really something you like after $60 before drinks, tax, and tip. Restrooms could use an update. read more

I am originally from Louisiana & know how to prepare authentic Creole & Cajun cuisine myself. The gumbo was good for it to be from a restaurant. The crawfish Ettouffee needed more seasoning but it was still decent. The chicken & sausage jambalaya was surprisingly good. The boudin was far from good. They should honestly remove it from the menu. Full Video Review utilizing the QR Code in the photos. read more

Good service and food. No one there eating within the restaurant for lunch? We enjoyed the extra service and our lunch.

Went Tuesday night, 15 Aug. big mistake. Catfish has an odd taste and was chewy. Oysters were fried to death and were inedible. Fries were greasy and tasted like old grease. On a pleasant note the coleslaw and green bean casserole were pretty good. We've eaten lunch there a few times in the past couple months and the food was good. Not sure what happened tonight but we wasted about $50. Our server, however, was great! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Food was good and the service was prompt. Probably would have a little more lighting for lunch. Overall good place would return. read more

Good Cajun food but if you want spicy, then use the hot sauce at the table. Truly excellent red beans and rice and the rolls were hot and fresh. Both were worth taking home the leftovers. Blackened chicken with creole pasta was ok. The crawfish etoufee was good. The seafood gumbo was flavorful but shy on seafood - maybe just luck of the ladle. Okra and green bean casserole were satisfactory. Very cool decor with the murals on the walls. Excellent service despite saying they were understaffed. read more

Quality Cajun food that never fails to satisfy! Coupled with fast and friendly service! We have enjoyed Tim's for many years!

I had lunch here before driving back to Birmingham last week while on a business trip. Walking in and taking a seat, I asked the waitress for the crawfish étouffée with some fried okra and also some stewed tomatoes and okra. The good came out in less than 10 minutes. The serving of étouffée was in a separate bowl and I thought it was smaller than expected however chocked full of content especially crawfish. The fried okra was a large serving while the stewed tomatoes and okra were in a very small bowl. I was disappointed with its size. See the pic for all 3 items mentioned. The étouffée was good (3), the fried okra was a 3.5 and the stewed okra and tomatoes a 3. Overall I decided to give the meal a 3. It was decent and A-OK. This is a casual style restaurant. read more

I ordered the 2 portion dinner plate with chicken and Sausage Jambalaya and Red Beans and Rice. The sides were stuffed potato and green bean casserole. The good: The red beans and rice were very good. I also enjoyed the the green bean casserole. The bad: the potato had obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time and was very dried out. But my biggest disappointment was the Jambalaya. It was a bowl of overcooked rice. That's it. There wasn't a single piece of meat in it. It seems it was leftovers from the lunch crowd and all I got was the rice on the bottom that had been cooking all day. I think if you want the fresh stuff, go at lunch or order off of their Specials menu. I will say that our server was very good. He got us our drinks and orders quickly and checked on us without being annoying. read more

Okay so after my doctors visit today, I was told that I have a slight increased cholesterol level and high blood pressure at 29! Horrifying, so I wanted to have a dinner that wasn't too salty or fried(I'm from Mississippi, I can't help it), then I stumbled across Tim's Cajun Kitchen, suggested by a very handsome male friend of mine, hidden on Jordan Lane! Something like serendipity! The server was so polite and happy to serve us even though we arrived a little after 8, they close at 9 on Monday's. After looking over the menu, I decided on a cup of crawfish etouffee and crab boiled shrimp- not fried!! It was absolutely amazing and delicious and filling, though a small portion. I am craving more now as I type! I am a regular here now! Oh, the rolls are baked to perfection. The place is dressed like a street in New Orleans- a true Louisiana dining experience! read more

We are from Texas and my husband traveled to Louisiana weekly for work. Our expectations were high. The food may have been good if our service had not sucked and we got everything correctly and in a timely manner. We ordered margaritas that took 30 mins to get. I ordered baked oysters for an appetizer, that came after our entire meal was done. I had a baked potato with sour cream and butter and they brought it fully loaded. When they corrected it, it still wasn't right. Our waitress was full of excuses, but everyone else was getting their drinks and food in a timely manner. The food was ok but I'd rather go to Shreveport. It felt more like a bar and bar food than a good place to eat. Not sure we will be back for another try just because of the service. read more
