In Short
Like other restaurants in the Stanleyville section of the Elizabeth neighborhood, this one is located in an old house. Barbecued shrimp and spicy fried oysters that come with a tangy dipping sauce may well be the best two appetizers in town. Diners can order their choice of crawfish, chicken or shrimp served three different ways: etouffee, Diane or Creole. Each varies in degree of spicy, with etouffee toward the have-plenty-of-water end.

A mere 3 1/2 years ago, I was brought to Cajun Queen on a date. Since, this restaurant has been a favorite of mine. I love the atmosphere; always sitting upstairs! The jazz band provides fabulous live entertainment. However, I would advise sitting across the room is you are planning on having a quite conversation. Their is usually a wait and the bar upstairs provides great drinks to sip on while listening to jazz and waiting to be seated. The food is absolutely amazing. I have had many items off the menu, but usually order off the specials. If you haven't tried Cajun Queen- you are definitely missing out on one of Charlotte's best kept little secrets. Great dining with a group, on a date, or as a business dinner.

This place is great! Staff are very pleasant. Food is out of site!!! I have been a regular since '97. I have tried everything or just about and it's all delicious. Blackened is wonderful. Toppings you can get are excellent. The Dixieland Band is an asset to the already great atmosphere. Everyone should go and try this out. Kudos to the Cajun Queen!!!!

The best cajun food around!!! The restaurant is in an old house and the quaint atmosphere is as good as the food. The music, the ambiance and the servers just add the wonderful cuisine. I recommend everyone to this restaurant, don't worry not all the food is spicy there is something for everyone.

Know Before You Go:
The Seventh Street Gator Band, a bunch of old-timers who pipe out Dixieland jazz seven nights a week, plays upstairs. The band is good but deafening. Don't sit up there with a first date.
The Extras:
Want to try your own hand at Cajun cookery? The restaurant's special spice, Bayou Blend, is available for purchase.
