10 months agoWe had the Chucklehead Platter and Shrimp Po Boy with slaw and potato salad. The food looked great and tasted great. I loved the flavor of their Cole slaw. Service was wonderful. Wait time was short considering it was Sat night. It was 8 so I hope the place was packed earlier. They get a 10/10 overall!

10 months agoThis is was by far the best experience I’ve had in a very long time at a restaurant. 10/10 recommend. And I will be back probably on a weekly basis!

10 months agoHonestly, I would have left some photos or videos however, I’ve cleaned my plate! The food was on point! I’m not a food critic because I like all types of food and appreciate the variation of flavors due to different people’s fixings! My husband and I walked in and sat down! That is important to us not to wait when we’re hungry. This restaurant offers, bottled drinks and real catfish, not swai … two very distinct different white fish, that are not the same. I ordered the gumbo Yaya, grilled chicken and andouille sausage to share AND the chuckle head platter, filled with yum goodness!!! my husband ordered the Nola, muffaletta, and was unable to eat at all-It was so big and he enjoyed every bite!! we finished with hurricane Katrina, six fried beignets topped with powdered sugar. We plan to go home and go to bed now, as we will sleep well! Thank you to Cajun River Bistro for the great dinner !

10 months agoThe food is fantastic!! We had The Voodoo appetizer- the shredded beef was so tender and the cheese curds (cubes) lightly fried, not heavy. The picked red onions added the bit of bite it needed. The poboys were great- the catfish light, flaky and moist, the oysters fried to perfection. The Nola (muffaletta) was huge with thick layers of meat, cheese and olive tamponade. Would fountain drinks instead of bottles be preferred? Yeah, but that's a minor issue. We will definitely be coming back!

11 months agoI didn’t know what to expect coming here at first, but it turned out better than I thought actually! Cool music, cool atmosphere! Friend and I got the deep fried gator bites with this sauce and they were pretty good. Got the fried shrimp Po- boy with side of Cajun fries and WOW. It was probably the best shrimp I’ve had in a long time and the fries were well seasoned and crispy to perfection. Not to mention the staff were friendly and the service was quick. I’m definitely coming again! Great job!

a year agoJust picked up our order from there and I couldn’t be more disappointed. Paid $14 for barely a half bowl of gumbo and the advertised French bread is about the size of my thumb. Additionally, don’t waste your money on the voodoo appetizer. Complete letdown, portion size is ridiculously small for the price. Quality subpar. Photo included: one on the upper left is the small size. One in the bottom right is the large.

a year agoWas travelling through Ashland City and was hungry so I did a search and The Cajun River Bistro looked promising. When I arrived Britt got me a table and something to drink while I looked over the menu. There’s a decent selection standard Cajun appetizers, meals, and sandwiches and I decided to try their Tour of NOLA. This consisted of a small bowl of Gumbo Ya Ya (chicken and andouille sausage), The Gulf (shrimp & crabmeat), and Queen of Rice (red beans & rice with andouille sausage). All three were quite good, a nice bit of kick, but each of them were very flavorful and not overpowered by heat. My favorite was The Gulf…nice spice and loved the seafood flavors. Enjoyed the Red Beans and Rice built on a solid roux, great flavors, and tender beans. This is a nice way to sample a number of dishes and the meal was filling. They have only been open 10 days, but the food and service shined and everyone took great care of me. I met the owners Lynn Cathey & Sammy Naquin…great folks and they are excited about their new business. I’ll be back the next time I’m passing through…the Muffuletta sounds delicious!
