Absolutely loved this place, being a Louisiana native my brother in law and I absolutely loved this restaurant above any of the 5 star restaurants and dine and dashes we’ve been to during our stay here in Wilmington! This was the closest thing i could get to a home cooked meal with out cooking it myself. T-Don and Kelly were amazing! Made our food to order, and we ordered a lot! We tried the red beans and rice, jambalaya, crawfish pie, friend green tomatoes, seafood salad, boudin balls, calas, gumbo, and the fried Cajun Mac and cheese. We also ordered poboys. I told T-Don, “ the best way I can describe the food is like buying store brand products and working with what you have when you can’t get name brand original ingredients and making it the best you can and as authentic as possible!” When we come back Cajun Kate’s will definitely be or first stop. Mais dat food is cest bon podna
I highly recommend going to Cajun Kate’s! The shrimp po boy & catfish fingers were amazing! The collard greens were sweet and absolutely perfect! The tomato bisque and the gumbo felt like a warm hug. You can’t leave without getting banana bread pudding! The staff is incredibly friendly and informative! Cajun Kate’s is a little piece of New Orleans in DE with the jazz music playing in the background & Cajun cuisine.
My partner and I tried Cajun Kate’s for the first time yesterday and we were not disappointed. We walked in and ordered almost one of everything off the menu, and the owner Don, and his friendly and accommodating staff walked us through each of their menu items, the history of the establishment, and their love for all things NOLA, as they were making each item. On top of that, they provide sample tastings of their soups, gumbos, and jambalayas for all first time customers. We brought home our huge order, which was made with so much consideration and care, and enjoyed everything we tasted. We’ll be enjoying the left overs for the next couple of days! Cajun Kate’s is a wonderful establishment that really shows their passion for food, and the culture behind the food. We’ll definitely be back!
Cajun Kate's has a New Orleans "Nola" flair, including mouthwatering cuisine, music, and paintings. Actually went to quickly grab collards "to go" and ended up dining in and adding an order of delightful chicken nuggets. Good ambiance here!! When dining inside, it's a nice opportunity to get a lot more acquainted with Don, Kate, Kelly, and Ben. They are very knowledgeable about food. Everyone is super excited to serve and are among the friendliest folks. Make sure to try the cafe au lait! Cajun Kate's Boothwyn, PA (Booth's Corner Farmer's Market) and Cajun Kate's Belvedere, DE (in Wilmington) locations are spot on! Parking is very convenient as well. GOD BLESS y’all! Looking forwarding to more visits real soon. Cajun Kate's gets 5 Spoons .
I highly recommend Cajun Kate’s !! First time trying and I am in love ! Had the catfish fingers, red beans and rice, beignets, and the crispy Cajun Mac and cheese. The staff is amazing and very helpful!!
Absolutely delicious ! If you’re looking for the best catfish in Delaware, this is your spot ! The catfish was perfectly baked and the mild rice and red beans had great taste with a nice touch of sausage. The coffee is always brewing as well which is a plus. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
After discovering this delicious place of southern food a little over a month ago, I've become a big fan. Po boys, crawfish pies, fried mac&cheese, gumbo galore, and more! This restaurant is worth eating every week. Food never disappoints and I eagerly await a chance to get more as their menu changes for something new to try. I usually get at least 3 items each time
We had an amazing first experience at Cajun Kates and plan to be back again and again! They were very welcoming and gave us samples to try since it was our first visit. Everything was so good that we ordered enough for three meals. Do yourself a favor and visit - make sure you try the tomato soup!!!!
