“ Came to Dat Cajun Place and let me tell you they did not disappoint! We grabbed seats at the bar, and our server Josh was a one-man show. He handled the entire bar like there were five of him, smooth, fast, and friendly! Now, let’s talk food! The cook, Daniel, served up some All-In Oysters that had me saying, “Oh my, my, my!” This was my first time trying oysters, and they hit the spot and the heat was ridiculously perfect. My friend went for the fried catfish po’boy with a side of gumbo (so good!), while I had the fried shrimp with their spicy sauce, rice, and spicy potato salad. Flavor on point. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, the customer service was top-tier. I can see exactly why the locals keep coming back. Let’s just say I’m going to bed happy, full, and completely satisfied. Thanks, Dat Cajun Place, for an amazing time at the bar! We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Panama City, Florida! ”
“ I loved this place. Great vibe, a bar area, and lots of TV's. Menu had lots of great sounding dishes, plus daily specials. The boudin balls were very good as was the voodoo sauce. Loved the crawfish etoufee, it had great spice. My wife's shrimp, lobster, and grits looked amazing. Would be here all the time if we lived here. It was pretty packed on a Monday night. Only negative would be the server, he didn't seem real happy to be there. ”
“ My daughter took me out for an early lunch and we decided to split our meal and appetizer. Chris, our server greeted us quickly and took our order and gave recommendations. He has a great sense of humor as we chatted about my name "Katrina, the hurricane ". My daughter got the Alligator bites, an Amaretto Sour and we decided on the Tuesday Special "Cajun Chicken Alfredo" (enough for two people!) with a side of bread. The food order was quick & served hot and the atmosphere creative. It was absolutely delicious and definitely wont disappoint a hungry appetite. I cleared my plate !! This should be on the menu as a regular meal as it was so tasty. Wish I could get the recipe. Definitely returning on Tuesday for the special again and especially if Chris is our server. 5's *Check out our pics ”
“ We visit Dat Cajun every annual visit to PCB, sometimes 2x in a week. They have the largest portions, cheapest prices, and BEST food!! $10.99 specials during every week, also a weekly foo foo drink special for $5. This visit we had Chris during lunch and Eric during dinner. Great service from Chris, so friendly and funny! Eric was working dinner and pretty much all business, no chit chat or fun. Maybe having a bad day. Anyway, we'll ALWAYS be back!! Love this place. ”
“ Tons of great food options. Took several minutes to decide what to get. Fried pickles and jalapeños are an amazing start. Their voodoo sauce is very good. The “Who Dat” sandwich was very unique and delicious. Would highly recommend that one. The burger wasn’t bad. Definitely try a sandwich or the tacos over the burger. Lots of TVs for all your sporting needs. Live music was available very often as well. Definitely come check out this place if you want some good NOLA cuisine ”
