| - I've never had Cajun food in Louisiana so I can't make a comparison even if I wanted to, which I don't. It seems a lot of people like to complain about ethnic food being Americanized or regional styles not living up to expectations. We live in Phoenix people-Phoenix, AZ, USA, not Phoenix, Japan or Phoenix, New York. I have eaten Mexican food in Kentucky of all places. Was it the style of food I am used to being a native Arizonan? No, but I can appreciate that it wasn't bad, just someone else's interpretation.
So, the end result is I like Baby Kay's. I've eaten here several times and never had a dish I didn't like, nor bad service. I like that their hushpuppies actually have flavor beyond that of a wad of cornmeal. I like the gumbo and jambalaya. I tried the crawfish ettouffe and it was great. I like that the potato salad is not swimming in some overly sweetened mayo concoction.
So while it may or may not compare to your version of authentic Cajun cooking, it is still a great place for a meal.
