Wow! The first time I came here last summer I got sick. However, this year I gave them a second chance and I'm glad I did because we both really enjoyed our food! Very delicious. Good staff, refilled drinks and brought boxes and ticket in good time. I enjoyed my $3 drink too!
RECOMMEND this location. The food quality was decent. The location was a bit small and can feel really over crowded. However, the food is good, based on the prices.
Great little spot in Hoover! Great outdoor patio with good shade. Service was great, waitress was attentive, kind, and fun! Good assortment of Cajun favorites even had some gator! Delicious shrimp and grits and the Redfish Rockefeller was great! Comfort food all around!
We were in town from Mobile Al playing a softball tournament and decided to give the Cajun Steamer a try during a big break. Our waitress and her mom both who both work there greeted us and were so kind. The food was great Tuna Dip, Fried Pickles, Cajun Pasta, Fried Shrimp, Seafood boil. We will definitely be back any time we are in the are.
Started with the boudin balls & they were awesome, I had the Redfish Rockefeller & my husband had the Chargrilled Oysters. Both were excellent. I had so much food I had to get a to go package. We will be back should we find ourselves in the Birmingham area again. Damon, the chef, is a true artist!!!
