Credeur’s Cajun Cookin’: Go For the Gumbo

April 23, 2015 by

If you love the spicy, robust flavors of Cajun cuisine, you’ll flip for Credeur’s Cajun Cookin’. This authentic Cajun cuisine eatery is certainly nothing fancy, but what it lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in its heaping helpings of tasty seafood and pistolettes.

The Louisiana-born owners prepare everything, from the shrimp po'boy sandwiches to the crawfish étouffée, true to tradition, and all of the meals arrive in large portions in a takeout box so that you can easily take home what you can’t finish in the restaurant. Specials include Cajun favorites that change from day to day, and there are also gumbo soups, jambalaya, and boudin served cafeteria-style in the middle of the casual dining room.

Credeur’s features exposed wooden walls and chalkboard menus that add a bit of down-home charm to the small restaurant, but it’s the tasty Cajun cuisine that will keep you coming back for more!
