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.

Great Food, Great Outdoor Patio
by DowntownCharlotte24 at Citysearch
Had a great experience my fist time at the Queen of Cajun. I had the Bayou Platter and my girlfriend had the Etouffee. Both were excellent but I especially liked the blackened seasoning on the chicken and catfish mine came with. From what I heard the Etouffee is one of the most popular on the menu so you can't go wrong with either one.
Overall, I will def return and recommend.
- Pros: Great Date Spot, Food, Outdoor Seating, Online Reservations
- Cons: Parking is tough if you come on Fri and Sat

One of the best in Charlotte
by Kevin C at Citysearch
The band is great but can be overpowering if you are right in front of them. I have had numerous items on the menu and have never had one dish that did not exceed my expectations. The BBQ Shrimp app is a MUST. I dont even care if they put the shrimp in, the sauce and bread are the best. you will get a different atmosphere and food quality is as good if not better that locations like del frisco.
- Pros: Food is unmatched and unique
- Cons: sitting right in front of the band

By Far- My favorite restaurant in Charlotte!
by ShelbyBrooke at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Love the Food, the Service, and the Music! Great overall atmosphere.
- Cons: Parking can be tough during prime hours and there is usually a wait.
The Details on Cajun Queen
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.
