"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

"This cocktail parlor slides re-imagined bar bites across the bar tops while patrons sip handcrafted cocktails with interesting ingredients (think muddled watermelon). The delicately crispy flatbreads are a must — the pesto and avocado rendition carries arugula and cilantro pesto, avocado, shaved red onion, sun-dried tomato, cotija cheese, and a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts. What to expect in 2019: the roll out of a monthly guest chef dinner series featuring cocktails by Bob Peters paired with courses crafted by a guest chef." - Katie Toussaint

I have finally found a piece of New Orleans. The food, the flavors, and the atmosphere transports guests from the cozy southeast to the unique vibe of the old French deep south. We were greeted by a racially ambiguous host, which, (if you know N.O.), made the experience even more authentic. The seating is ok, but the live band was amazing. Cajun Queen's menu is straight and to the point and very easy to navigate. Our server was the best, and food was right on time. I can't wait until my next visit to the Cajun Queen. Also, I highly recommend the shrimp scampi. You won't regret it.

The fried oysters are SO delish! The pork chops are really juicy and flavorful! French Quarter Coffee is okay…may be the beer is better. The place is super cute and smiley staff!!!

Very good food here and the service was great!! My wife and I went before the Katt Williams tour at Bojangles and surprisingly, the whole first floor was going as well. This is in an old house with a New Orleans kinda vibe and reservations need made. Worth the visit and would recommend.

Ordered the seafood gumbo and Cajun pasta. The bread pudding was also delicious! For a drink I ordered the apple martini which was on the specials menu. Service was ok. Live band was a little loud but fit the vibe.

We had such a great girls night! It’s a very laid back cozy vibe with live music. The drinks were very good we ordered the hurricane, 7th street stumbler, swamp water, and the planters punch! For appetizer we ordered the fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, the Cajun fried oysters, Crawfish Etoufee, and Seafood Gumbo. For our meals we got the New Orleans Platter, Shrimp and Grits,and Fried Catfish. Last but not least for dessert we had Pecan Pie, Oreo Cheesecake, Cookie Pie, and Bread Pudding! Everything was delicious we can’t wait to come back!

We like to visit here for the Cajun food. We like to sit at the bar on the second floor and listen to live jazz. I like the fried oysters and fried green tomatoes.this place is very friendly and laid back. Our server Max took good care of us. Make a reservation if going during peak hours.

We went to the restaurant for my father’s 80th birthday. The ambiance was great we listened to a live music as we dined. Our server was cordial. The owner of the establishment checked in with us.

We had a Wonderful dining experience. I recommend making a reservation for dinner. We went in a Thursday night and fairly busy. The food and service excellent. The fried oysters as an appetizer were so yummy. We started eating before I took pictures, the presentation of food was beautiful. The food was temperature hot when served. That’s important to me. Some of entrees are spicy but I like that. If spicy is a problem, make sure to inquire. We will go back. Additionally, the wine pour was better than most restaurants…..little bonus.
