Reviews
One of the best places around for cajun food. I ended up going there 3 times while I was on my work trip. And all the three times I ordered The Shrimp Sampler because it was that good! Super friendly service and a very quaint atmosphere.
I am an out of towner and this is the 4th Cajun restaurant we have eaten at. Hands down the best Gumbo so far. Dark roux w shrimp, oysters and rice. The roux was perfect! Not too thick and not too soupy! I will be back just for Gumbo. We also had seafood cakes appetizer. They were perfectly cooked with a cornmeal crust filled with mostly fish. Didnt notice any crab or shrimp. Never the less, they were tasty when dipped in the house remoulade sauce! Think of it as an elevated fish patty! I had the Sampler plate. The blackened catfish was good but Ive had better. The étouffée was tasty, but I can really judge since it was the first time trying it. It was packed w shrimp. Glad I tried it. The stars of the platter were the cajun corn which was coated in cajun spices and deep fried!! Absolutely unique to me and delicious! But the Jambalaya rice was my favorite to the Gumbo. Soooo much cajun flavor. I know its a side but it was so flavorful and rice was nicely cooked. We shared the bread pudding. Average at best. I expect more. The interior is a mix of an old gaslamp type restaurant mixed with a bar! Well there is a bar in the middle. Lively noisy place but fun with good food. We will be back. I recommend this place especially for out of towners looking for good cajun food!
This restaurant serves flavors that taste like Louisiana! Authentic and unique taste that don't lose the contrast of original flavors! First time coming here and the service was very nice, and friendly. I even noticed them re-seat a few tables due to the A/C blasting on them with no complaints and smiles on their faces at all times. Decor is up to par with the theme of the restaurant being original LA style food! Good times and good food!
The chef lost their absolute mind today and achieved total redemption for The Blind Tiger's CATFISH. Perri was by far the best waiter I've had here---very nice and attentive. Super crispy, flaky and flavorful...this is the catfish I'm familiar with from this establishment. I ordered the salad and Silly Rabbit again and both were good. Delicioso in my torso
This place is off the wall amazing, great food and amazing service, I took my mom there years ago before she passed and she gave it a big thumbs up...
