Very casual and laid back atmosphere! Enjoyable place to relax and spend time eating a Cajun meal. We tried several of the dishes as this was our first time. We had crawfish etoufee, shrimp gumbo, red beans and rice with sausage, fried green tomatoes.... and, if that was not filling enough.... we topped it off with their version of bread... More

My wife and I went to Cajun Steamer's for lunch yesterday and enjoyed our meals. My wife had the grilled shrimp po boy and I had the jambalaya. Along with her sandwich she substituted the included side for a cup of seafood gumbo (there was a up-charge). The sandwich and gumbo were just like you'd get in LA; flavorful with... More

If you like crawfish and Cajun food, this is the place for you. The food is spicy and fresh. There is a covered and uncovered dinning area in back. Service is very good and the waitress are always cheerful. Every Monday oysters are half price.

We were just passing through Franklin on a vacation south and found Cajun Steamer's as a close by restaurant with a New Orleans themed menu. It sounded good and the menu looked good also but unfortunately this place has simply outgrown itself. It is basically located in a strip mall and is sized like a narrow dress shop but,,,, they...

Most trips to the Steamer have been very good, this time not so much. The outdoor seating and service was very good, but the food was only so, so at best. We may give it another shot, but it will be a while.

I grew up in Louisiana, so I do know good cajun cooking when I taste it. This restaurant is awesome. They even have Abita beer on tap!

I love the vibe of Cajun Steamer and their steamed Royal Red Shrimp is, hands down, the best shrimp I have ever tasted. On a good day, the shrimp are HUGE and you get a lot of them. I have only had one or two occasions where they seemed small or average in size. Other seafood options are great as... More

This place has a funky beach-bar type atmosphere. Nice wait staff, TV's around to watch the game and GREAT cajun food. This is not a place for a romatic dinner or if you are looking for quiet atmosphere, but if you want great food and ice cold beer to wash it down with - drive to Cool Springs and try... More

Perhaps I've been spoiled by the blackened grouper at Bosco's, but my dining experience at Cajun Steamer was lacklustre, especially given all the local recommendations. They have an extensive beer menu - and my Red Stripe was nice and fresh - but neither the blackened fish fingers nor my shrimp and grits were great. They weren't bad, but the fish... More

Shrimp and Grits are excellent. It's a little pricey, but well worth the time to eat there. The place is small and very busy during lunch. Would recommend mid afternoon to miss the crowd.
