Really cool place! Food was excellent. Striped bass was fresh caught and delicious. Shrimp was amazing. Appetizers were great, and I love hush puppies! Service was spot on. The blackberry pineapple marguerita might be a little pricey, but OMG so good! Loved the outside deck right on the water. Gorgeous view. We will be back!

Cajun Craft is a little restaurant tucked away on Clay Ave. It is in the old Krispy Chicken building. The new folks have totally updated the place with two seating areas for diners inside and one area for patio dining. Order at the counter, then they bring food to you. Very friendly folks. Menu leans toward Cajun foods, although they have some Vietnamese food as well. Boudin balls were awesome, very crispy and tasty. I had Cajun chicken tender basket (4 tenders, fries and a roll) for $9. Hubby had seafood platter (oysters, shrimp, catfish, fries, hushpuppies) for $15. Food was served hot, generous portions. The coating on the chicken and the seafood was crispy and light. They also have oysters on half shell, but we were just too full! Will definitely return!Thanks for your detailed review. If you havenât came back for oysters on the half shelf yet, you must. We wouldnât serve you anything we wouldnât eat ourselves, the freshest. Weâre happy to see you two enjoy your dishes. Please come back and see us anytime. And make room for oysters! See you next time.
