We ate at Cravin' Cajan last Friday. Many items come in mild, med, hot or crazy hot. We went with hot and I'd say it was right on.
Our order was:
Catfish & fries basket $8.99 (our appetizer)
Crawfish Etouffee $10.99 (house sauce, hot)
Grilled Fish Platter $9.99
Side order of Boiled Potatoes $1.49 (house sauce, hot)
Pros:
The restaurant was clean and cute. The food was fresh, served up nice, steaming hot and pleanty spicy. Catfish could have been a little thicker, but it was still quite tasty. Fries were better than most places, but not sure I would call them Cajun. Etouffe was hot and had a lot of crawfish, which is always good. They didn't skimp on the fish platter. The fish was moist, flaky and served with lots of grilled peppers and onions. Boiled spuds were great, but order them in the bag or ask for extra sauce. I ordered them on a plate and while it did have some sauce it wasn't enough for me, so had to ask for more.
Cons:
The dirty rice that came with the fish platter was flat. I'm no dirty rice expert, but compared to dirty rice I've had before I thought their version was bland. The service was hit and miss. At first our server would come by constantly, like 3-4 times in just 3-4 minutes (little over kill). Then we wouldn't see our server for 15-20 minutes. Maybe that was so we could enjoy or meal in peace. The problem with that was we were out of drinks when she dropped off the main courses and I needed more sauce. We finally flagged down a bus boy and asked him to find our server. Then the server did it again when we were ready to pay the check.
