Anybody eaten here? Cajun restaurant a friend of mine recommended for the trip to GA this weekend. Made the mistake of looking at the menu this morning and now I'm hungry.

I have wondered if opening up a really authentic good Louisiana restaurant elsewhere would do better than opening one here in state.

Doesn’t answer your thread hahaha but I have pondered such a thing.

Henry’s in Acworth is also very good.

Its best cajun food in Atlanta area no question. Henrys is good, but Gumbeauxs is better. Its about 10 miles from the office and I make the drive quite often.

I hope the food is good because the name is just awful and honestly offensive.

Up in Roswell, Adele's on Canton kept me alive during my year in Hell working in Atlanta.

I enjoyed Gumbeaux's though I'm not from LA so can't speak to how well it represents "real cajun". I will say that the portions are yuge. I prefer Henry's in Acworth, personally.

I’ve been to Gumbeauxs a few times and it’s really good for the area. Everything I had there seemed fresh.
Adele’s in Roswell is good. The owner was a line cook at Commanders before Katrina then moved to the Atlanta area
Aj’s poboys in Marietta off Roswell Rd is by far the most authentic and best poboy in the Atlanta area

I'm almost always disappointed when traveling through other states and finding what they call an "Authentic Cajun" restaurant.


You'll see dishes that are familiar to us locals----in name only for the most part.


Most of the time it is just bland crap with some Tony's sprinkled on top, some hot sauce added and they think that makes food Cajun.
