"Go to Cajun Queen for a big ol’ family dinner, get seafood, and get it fried. In this two-story house-turned-restaurant in Elizabeth, it’s a little too easy to go in for seconds of the plump fried oysters, the seafood gumbo, or the crawfish Creole. The Bayou platter is the best of both worlds with both chicken and catfish. This longtime Charlotte staple, around since 1986, is genuinely a great hang, made for celebrating something with a big group and listening to some upbeat live music upstairs. And don’t be shy about ordering a round of cocktails for the table." - Kayleigh Ruller
