Aside from my last visit - Cajun Fried in Saint Martinville is easily one of the best places for a quick, consistently delicious, and rather inexpensive meal for the entire family. Popeye's may be the "popular" place, but Cajun Fried is what I'd consider the local favorite around here. 1.) Location - Like a lot of the best places, if you are not searching for Cajun Fried then you'll likely miss it entirely. A small location near the local Pizza Hut and Joyce's Market. The only thing that may indicate that there is a great food experience here is the fact that there might be a small gathering of people waiting anxiously outside for their order on the busier evenings! Currently, there is no inside seating available so plan on taking your order to go. BUT, if you only ordered a few things "to test it out" then don't go too far or you may find yourself turning right back around just to order more! Food - As the name suggests, they specialize in fried items. Chicken, fish, oysters, shrimp - but they do offer some very welcomed variety as well. Want those fish filets grilled? Or the shrimp? For a small upcharge they'll take care of that for you. They also have po boys, some great Chinese food options (fried rice, sesame chicken, egg rolls, and lo mein) - and equally mouth watering sides to choose from. Price - A simple comparison should suffice here. At Popeye's, you'll easily spend over $30 for 12 pieces of chicken that may have been sitting there for some time. Cajun Fried offers up to 24 piece deals for just over $20. DOUBLE the order, $10 less. Naturally you'll think "for that price the quality must be pretty bad" - but you'd be making the same assumption I first made only to be proven wrong. Cajun Fried has proven they know what they are doing across their menu and you'll have both a fully satisfied stomach AND a thankful wallet when...

Read moreI placed my order online. I chose a large shrimp dinner with fried rice and paid extra for egg. When they didn't give me the fried rice with my order the lady said it doesn't come with it. I explained to her that when I ordered online it said comes with a side and I chose the fried rice. She went back and forth with me and didn't give me the fried rice. When I got back to work I checked the website again and sure enough it asked me to choose a side. I didn't like how she handled it and I...
