Kristina and I had a blast at Rajin Cajun Cafe in South Redondo! We grabbed our usual spots at the bar, which is the perfect place to catch a game. The energy was high with a double-header on the screens: the Lakers taking on the Clippers (tough break for Luka!) and an epic Bears comeback win over Green Bay in OT.
Even though it’s a Cajun spot, we opted for Nick’s Burger with Cajun fries, and it did not disappoint—especially after experimenting with their various Cajun sauces. The highlight of the night? Seeing a bottle of Josh Chardonnay on the menu for only $30. We expected a house brand for that price, so scoring a bottle of Josh was a total win!
We’ll definitely be back soon—they have a great concert lineup coming this February and March, including Journey Jukebox. Can’t wait!

We went because its their last days (I believe they close this weekend). Just reminded me why we had not come back. Food is good but a bit overpriced for the portions. My husband’s lemonade cup was dirty- but we didnt let them know- their already closing so no point. So we paid 5 dollars for a lemonade he didnt drink. Other than the price/portion the food is good. A little of $80 bucks for what’s shown. (1 lemonade only). Btw they also charge a 3% service fee for using a card (was not informed this before and its not posted)

This review is only based on the Thanksgiving fried turkey purchase we made this year. For 175 dollars my expectations for this bird were that it would be hot, juicy and flavorful. What I got was a very ill appearing bird and a few weeks of regret. I absolutely would not recommend this to anyone considering purchasing for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was extremely disappointed and the majority of it (essentially all of it) went straight into the trash. We love to support local and even donated for the daughter’s school event while there, but I’m hoping others learn from our expensive mistake.

Wanted seafood for lunch near the beach & other places don’t open until after 3pm! Luckily this place was open, wasn’t crowded at all maybe 1-2 other tables. Tried the gumbalaya as an appetizer – gumbo jambalaya mix, it was just okay. The rice was on the hard side. Shrimp boil as the entree, I was pleasantly surprised because I typically eat boil in a bag seafood. THIS was delicious. Seasoning was perfect, shrimp were fresh and plump! I added sausage & asked for extra lemons & butter. I would go back for their seafood boil! Our server was Steven, he was very attentive.

This review is only for the Beignets because that’s all I ordered for takeout. I was very disappointed at the size and quality of them. We had purchased some the night before at Downtown Disney and they were great. Unfortunately my dog got to them before we had a chance to eat them all so I decided to give these a try. Sorry but not even close. I paid $20 plus tax for 8 of them. The Disney ones were $18 for 10 and were at least three times as big and fluffier. These were flat and tough. Looks like a nice place to eat but I won’t be ordering dessert.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Unfortunately went on a Friday night and they had closed early due to plumbing issues. So went back Saturday and was happy I did. Had to try that gator out, and it was so good. The pork chops and gravy OMG…. And the amount of food for the price is worth every penny. Was only disappointed with my Ragin Rum Punch it was pretty but very watery couldn’t taste any liquor but had plenty of ice

Real sweet tea!!!! It’s incredibly hard to find true brewed sweet iced tea in LA County and this place serves it up sweet chilled and with a perfect wedge of lemon.
Being from the south, I’ve become accustomed to sweet tea, gumbo and properly seasoned Cajun fries and this place delivers in spades!
I highly recommend their N’awlins Hot Chicken Sandwich. It comes breaded or grilled and it’s perfect with crispy pickles!
During my visit the server was super attentive as was the manager. They checked in on us and made sure my toddler was happy! They’re so family friendly
It’s a must stop place if you’re in the South Bay Area/ Redondo Beach.

A friend took me here for lunch about 6 weeks ago. We went at an off time.I think it was around 2. The restaurant was not super busy. Service was excellent. Love the decor. My friend and I tried a couple of dishes that we shared and I also got soup as a main entree. Food quality was excellent. The decor is straight out of New Orleans with a little bit of a beach city, CA twist… Good music playing in the background. Majority of the staff have been here a long time. It’s not inexpensive, but definitely worth a visit. Would be a great place to celebrate a birthday.

I want to start out by saying I love the decor and service here. However, I feel like I went to a completely different restaurant from what was posted in other reviews. The food was largely flavorless. We got Okra, gator, and a seafood boil and none of it was seasoned well. I have eatin all over the world and Louisiana is one of those places and while I don’t expect actual New Orleans flavor I did expect it to be better than the Angry Crabshack and it was surprisingly even more bland than that place.

Best family-owned, family-friendly restaurant! Great food, great service, great atmoshere–so fun, and what a delight! Came during Hallowe’en and the decorations were top notch! Can’t wait to see Mardi Gras Season! Don’t miss this spot–if you have been to NOLA, full on appreciation! If you haven’t been to New Orleans, you won’t even need to after the Ragin’ Cajun–they brought NOLA to you! Highly recommend–and don’t miss dessert!
