Best Cajun Restaurants in Arlington

Good food, service was prompt and attentive. I recommend. Do not drive but take a taxi or Uber. Parking was nuts!

Food was amazing we got the Pan Seared Salmon and Cajun pasta and then the biscuit to start and literally everything was delicious and the service was great. We were seated quickly and received our food quickly

This was our first visit to Miss Toya’s restaurant. The restaurant has a great ambiance, the prices were reasonable BUT the food was phenomenal. We had the fried green tomatoes which were cooked to perfection. I got the fries catfish, golden brown on the outside and delicious on the inside. I can’t say enough about the food! We highly recommend this place.

I have enjoyed numerous meals at RT’s and they are consistently of high-quality. RT’s has superior service, a wonderful ambience, soft music in the background so you don’t have to raise your voice and exhaust yourself speaking. The restaurant is always festively decorated for every season/holiday of the year. It’s clear that the managers/owners take extraordinary pride in and care of their restaurant. Last but not least, the food is exceptionally delicious and well-presented every time! And while you might just drive past this wonderful restaurant on Mount Vernon Ave. in Alexandria, without noticing, it is truly a gem. It deserves a few Michelin stars.

My goodness, the roux--it is perfect, making the gumbo the best I've had outside of NOLA and H-town in years. That alone made the meal. Also loved the hush puppies (who knew). For my main the pork tender was perfectly cooked and beautifully matched with mustard cream. My friend had the short rib, which I tried and loved. The only misfire was the strawberry shortcake, which was too sweet, breading too dense, and only one strawberry. My friend's bread pudding was superb. The service was excellent, water refilled consistently, food arrived at a nice pace. Kudos to Dauphine's, I'll be back with a cajun spring in my step. Thank you!
