live jazz nightly!

Cajun Queen has to be Charlotte's best kept secret. It has the laid-back atmosphere of 'Nawlins without having to leave North Carolina. They even sell "Dixie Beer", which is the famouos beer of New Orleans....

Authentic

Large protions and the most authentic Cajun eatin' that I have encountered east of the Mississippi. Great service. Dining rooms were a little small, but appropriate for a converted house.
