Stopped here passing through Wilmington on the way to Philly. Food was fantastic. We had the shrimp and sausage Gumbo and the boudin balls. Service was great. It is an order and seat yourself location. We were given some samplers of the rice and beans as well as a few others. All of the food was fantastic. Very happy we stopped here.

Was craving some seafood and saw this place had good reviews and for GOOD REASON! As soon as we walked in, all of the staff were super welcoming and nice. The food was amazing. We got the seafood gumbo, cajun popcorn shrimp, catfish fingers, and fried chicken alfredo. The batter on the fried food was perfectly seasoned and had a great crunch to it. The tartar sauce was amazing as well, so much flavor! The staff was so kind to let us try samples for the other items and we are definitely coming back to try their other items. A muuuuuuuuuuuuust try if you want seafood. You will not regret it!

I never do reviews but this was such a warm and welcoming experience. The atmosphere is super welcoming and gives off family vibes. The food is fantastic and portioned well. My toddlers LOVED the Cajun catfish tenders and toddlers are impossible to please when it comes to food. I recommend dining in at least once when you visit. The staff is phenomenal and very accommodating. They gave us some samples to try and engaged with my kids. My youngest toddler absolutely stuck to them. I can't stress enough how lovely the experience was and we traveled about an hour and a half for the experience. If you want a loving family experience with amazing service, stop in. You won't regret it because the best thing you can do is trust a child's reaction in a family owned business.

AMAZING staff! Very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes they sell. The food was even more AMAZING!! I had the red beans and rice and it was PERFECT! They have small, medium and large (also for the jambalaya) and I get the large and still have half to take home!! Also tried GATOR for the first time and it was actually very good! DON'T forget to have the beignets (deep-fryed pastry) for dessert!!! The atmosphere is super cool, very New-Orleans-authentic! Then, one of my favorite things about Cajun Kate's, their prices!!! SUPER low! We could actually afford to eat out which is rare!!! Grade A for sure!!

No one can say enough good about Cajun Kate’s. I have never, never, never had bad food from them, from either location. You must try their Crawfish Beignets and their Brisket Pirogues. Then anything else on their menu. Their gumbo is superb. I enjoy when she offers Chicken and Shrimp and Sausage and Shrimp. I order half and half. Excellent service and very fair prices.

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

Went to Cajun Kates in Wilmington Delaware on Philadelphia Pike. The menu had great options. The service was very good and timely. I ordered a lot. Let’s start with the red beans and rice which had great consistency and deep in flavor profile. The gumbo was better, rich also. The shrimp was well seasoned. The catfish had good flavor. Fried green tomatoes even with the nice flavor the breading was too thin and falls apart so you can’t really enjoy it. The bread pudding was a hefty serving which was cooked well but I would have put just a little more sugar or some cinnamon in it
