I'm really glad that a place like Krimsey's Cajun exists - vegan Cajun restaurant, who would have thought? Not my visiting friend from Chicago; he wants to return here on a future visit! The food is fantastic - great flavor, many options, good portion sizes. The spot itself isn't huge but I've never seen it too full, and the parking lot outside is tiny but street parking is available. On my last visit, for 3 of us, we got hush puppies, fried pickles, the Gumbalaya with cornbread, and two different kinds of poboys, the New Orleans (with hearts of palm) and the fried green tomato - one of those with a side of Cajun potato wedges and the other with chips. It was quite a delicious feast!
The only downsides to our visit were, 1- they didn't have any biscuits & gravy left (we were there around 2pm, brunch menu is available until 3pm.. hence why we ended up with 2 Poboys which were still good, but really craved some biscuits & gravy), and 2- after we were done with our meal and wanted to get the Voodoo Brownie Beignet, we were told it would be another 30ish minutes for those to be made (we were on a schedule and didn't have the opportunity to wait longer.. I had them before but really wanted my visitor to try; next time, I guess!).
Aside from those 2 hiccups, we enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. I even ended up buying a bottle of their homemade Cajun ranch!
Recommend: hush puppies, fried pickles, Gumbalaya bowl, Jambalaya bowl, cornbread, New Orleans Poboy, Voodoo Brownie Beignet
Things to note:
- the parking lot is small and tight, you're better off parking on the street or surrounding neighborhood
- free wifi!
- they sell a number of items ranging from clothing to bottles of their Cajun ranch or Cajun spices
- order dessert with your meal just in case there is a wait time
