I tried this new spot for lunch today. (open since April)
I planned to eat light but that didn't work out...the special was breaded pork chops w/ mac'n'cheese. Fantastic. $8.95 (came w/ corn and bread)
I saw some great looking salads and po-boys being served as well.
The sandwich menu is impressive (soft shells, 3 kinds of sausage, meatball, veal cutlet,etc)
The owner came out, too. Very nice guy...I'll go back!

Re: Rajun Cajun
Is this owned by the same guy that owned the previous restaurant in the same location?
I think he was Chef Duke's (Giovanni's) brother?

New owner: Shawn Cahill.
He bought the place and totally remodeled it. I don't know what it was like before but it's as nice a neighborhood restaurant as I've ever been in.

Re: Rajun Cajun
I went back today and thoroughly enjoyed the "Buffalo Chicken Salad".
An old lady next to me had the red beans with -2- pork chops and she cleaned her plates! (beans on one plate, meat/bread on the other)
Nice crowd today, too.

Was excited to be able to eat lunch there today with DH. I'm a teacher, so lunch out is a treat. I'll be kind and say they must have been having an off day. I know for sure our server was.
