NOLA Cajun Kitchen (Shrewsbury) — Restaurant in Shrewsbury

Actually the food was delicious but the service lacked. I ordered online and had a time crunch to be at an appointment. I went to the counter where a young man was busily grabbing food and filling bags and delivering food to tables. Even though he was right in front of me, he never acknowledged me or the man next to me. Finally he gave the first bag to the man.

This area was recently renovated and called the Marketplace. Tons of new parking and...

The place is totally neutral for "atmosphere", but the food was incredible. The NOLA gumbo was tasty and fresh and perfect for my taste with a couple of dashes of Crystal pepper sauce. I had the catfish po-boy and my wife the oyster one. The cornmeal breading was crunchy but light and the catfish and oysters were perfectly done, moist and tender. The oysters were creamy melt-in-your-mouth! We...
