D.C.'s Essential Cajun Restaurants - Eater DC

"A fixture in Old Town Manassas, Okra’s is all about channeling the Big Easy. During the summer, music from the street performers who cycle through the stage outside wafts into the friendly bar where regulars drain cold Abita beers and fruity Hurricanes. Inside, hungry diners have their pick of traditional Cajun fare — including creamy red beans and rice, sausage po’boys, and blackened catfish nestled on a bed of zesty dirty rice." - Eater Staff

My husband and I went here for mothers day dinner and it was amazing! We had the dynamite shrimp appetizer, which was absolutely fresh and flavorful. I had the dirty rice with fried chicken and it was perfection. My husbands shrimp and grits was delicious and fresh as well. Will definitely be back! Oh! He had a landmine, and I had a Bourbon Street martini and both drinks were so good!

Great place! They have outdoor and indoor seating. We had our 3 dogs with us so we ate outside. The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly. If you like super spicy the firecracker shrimp is for you! Everything we ate was delicious!!

For our anniversary, we decided to try Okras. Our server, Tadd, was great and the food was delicious. Amongst the many dishes, the corn bread, fried oysters, pork chops and Crawlfish Monica were outstanding. For tasty food and friendly Looziana atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back.

This a great little local Cajun restuarant in Manassas! Wow! I was pleasantly surprised and shocked! The food was very flavorful, I had the alligator bites (Awesome), a half oyster po boy (pretty tasty) with an upgraded side to the seafood gumbo (awesome). The service was outstanding. I highly recommended this place! The key lime cheesecake looks sinful! I didn't get, so I am a bit sad about that. Happy eating!!!

I'm not sure I've ever consumed an etouffee faster than today. Their crawfish etouffee was exactly what I needed on a rainy day. We also had the corn chowder, the catfish sandwich, the fried oysters, and the fried okra. I'd order any of these dishes again. Everything was delicious, so now I have another reason to revisit Manassas.

My family and I were exploring downtown Manassas when we stumbled upon Okras. We love trying new food and decided to stop here to eat for an early dinner. We loved the atmosphere and our server was good. We ordered the alligator bites for an appetizer and they were okay. We were not a fan of the sauce that was served with it. My partner ordered the crawfish étouffée and said it was delicious. I ordered the shrimp and grits as it's one of my favorite dishes and I get it often, and was extremely disappointed. The flavor was awesome, however, the shrimp was extremely over cooked. I didn't want to complain, but they were so bad I gave in and asked my server to bring me more. The second portion was just as over cooked. For a $20 dish, I not only expect more shrimp (I received 6 with my dish), but I would expect them to be cooked correctly. Also, I have worked in the restaurant and customer service industry for years and was highly disappointed that no manager or supervisor came to be sure that my food was as better the second time around. I was so upset I skipped dessert (bread pudding is my favorite) and left with no intention of returning to this restaurant again.

I come to Manassas regularly, and Okra's is always a necessary visit. The folks are super friendly, the food is just amazing. This visit, we did the shrimp & grits, along with okra and alligator bites! Creamy grits, and shrimp that popped with bite and flavor! Just a fantastic meal and experience, every single time.

This is a fantastic place here in Manassas in VA. There Jambalaya is outstanding and from just the explosion of flavor from there Jambalaya I can tell there other foods are just as amazing and for sure going to come back for more for sure. This a must place to go to chill or to hangout with friends and family alike and also fantastic for kids as well so if your down in Manassas VA park pull over and come in to Okra's Cajun/Creole straight up amazing.
