Reviews for Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill in Franklin, TN

We went here for dinner after work and it smelled amazing when we walked in. Neighborhood bar feel, lots of Cajun goodies on... the menu, good beer selection and service was great. I had a Cajun Ribeye that, when ordered rare, was actually more towardsblue. I eat really rare but this was close to returning it. I saved it, took it home and re-heated it. My side was a crawfishetouffee and it was delicious! Dessert was deep fried cheesecake and it was one of the best desserts I?ve ever had it was aWhen Harry met Sally moment for sure. Here?s the breakdown: Good Food +1 star; cold beer +1 star; great service +1 star; FRIEDCHEESECAKE +1,000,000 stars. I?ve been back and will go again. Read more

I got the cajun trio which had etouffe, red beans and rice, and jambalaya. All three were really good, and the jambalaya was my... favorite of the threw. The boudin balls were pretty good, and I liked the sauce. The boiled shrimp was decent but could haveused more spice, and I wasn't really a fan of the butter. The fried pickles were average, and the daiquiris were okay. Read more

Great atmosphere and great oysters! We had oysters three ways fried, Rockefeller and charbroiled. Personally I liked the... charbroiled best, nothing wrong with the order two. The cheese was great on the charbroiled. I will be back for sure!! Read more

I wanted to love the place and made a special trip to try it out early, before the rush. Seems like half the folks were locals... so that?s a good sign. Atmosphere was a bar, and we were not locals so no smile or howdy for us. We were looking to do crawfishas they are in peak season, so we shared a boil. It was very spicy, as I like it, but my company couldn?t taste much because theregular boil seasoning was too hot. They forgot the sausage, so brought uncut, water boiled sausage later. It was meh. The fullshrimp tasted off. The crawfish were over boiled so stick to the shell. The peel and eat shrimp were good. Their crab wasexcellent, though. The beer was cold and good selection. All in, we spent just north of a hundred for two people. Over all-much better places in Nashville fora boil (especially on Nolensville road) and because I?m not in walking distance, this is apass for me. Read more

We've been coming here a long, long time. This restaurant hasn't disappointed; it endures in an area where restaurants tend to... come and go for a reason. The Cajun influence is obvious and proud. The food is as good as anything in New Orleans. When yougo to a regionally-inspired restaurant and it's consistently filled with people from that region, you know it's good. If itsounds good, try it. But I can recommend the Boudan, the gumbo (they have several types -- the ya ya is my favorite), andanything to do with crawfish. Read more

This place is really a hidden gem and the food is sooooo good. The chargrilled oysters are seasoned very well and you get huge... raw oysters. The grits in the shrimp and grits were very well flavored. I?m glad there is a place nearby that actually getsCajun/creole food right. Read more

The chargrilled oysters were GREAT! I like the pastured catfish and cajun mashed potatoes but the crab meat batter was TOO... sweet. It tasted like a sweet roll versus a crab cake ????. Overall great service and worth the wait. I will definitely beback!! Read more

We love everything that we had ordered at Cajun Steamer Bar and Grill. It was Saturday night, the line was outside the door but... once we got to our table our orders came out fairly quickly. Our server and the hottest were nice and prompt. We were stayingat the Courtyard by Marriott and want to grab a bite without having to drive. It was the perfect walking distance for us andthe food was delicious! The price was not bad for all the foods and beverages that we ordered! Read more
