Cajun Depot Grill - Ellijay (GA)

5 /5 Matthew Sinclair: Highly recommend the Cajun shrimp and grits. The shrimp gumbo is a must have. Even the salad was amazing. Definitely worth the drive.

5 /5 Lana D: Best restaurant in Ellijay by far! We went to every restaurant in town and mostly go for the atmosphere because there is really nothing special that we couldn’t make at home. Moved here from Seattle and really missing good food. Once driving by I noticed Cajun Depot Grill right outside of downtown, it’s hard to see from the road. Did not expect much and were blown away by the variety and flavors. Outstanding Cajun food and great service! Our waitress was super sweet and even gave us a little history on the place, told us about this amazing chef and his passion for Cajun food. Highly recommend! Honestly I think it’s best Cajun food I ever had.

5 /5 Melba Gant: We decided to drive up to Ellijay for no particular reason and googled restaurants. I have been looking for a good po-boy for ages, even being disappointed last year on a trip to New Orleans. This place is where it’s at! We got the zydeco sampler to try a little bit of everything and then a po-boy for me and crab cakes for my husband. Everything exceeded expectations. The restaurant is clean and inviting and the staff is incredibly warm and friendly. Our server, Kadence, was amazing and her coworker, whose name we didn’t get, was equally helpful and friendly. We’re happy to make the one hour drive to come here regularly now that we’ve found this little gem!

3 /5 Dave Mosley: Sadly disappointed. Food was delicious, as it had been when I took friends a year ago. Service was insanely SLOW. Drinks (no craft beer, Louisiana beer, etc) took forever, as did the crawfish appetizer, which was eaten quickly by party of 5 (server should have suggested 2+, they were out of crab cakes) . Never asked if wed like more. Then the protracted wait...I finally asked for bread, as we were all hungry...4 pieces...no butter, oil, anything. And the wait continued, so I had to ask for more bread. 2 servers and 6 tables. Over an hour get food and by that time only 4 tables. 1 server was at small bar consuming a large plate of food. Couldnt find the other. Finally got second drink as we finished meals....and place was empty at 7.40 pm on Saturday night. Who owns or manages this place and why arent they serving, greeting, engaging customers or monitoring things? THERE ARE SO FEW LOCALLY OWNED SPOTS W REASONABLE PRICES AND GOOD FOOD....THIS IS ONE! But, it cannot make up for the terrible (non-existent) service. It was almost as though our party of 5 wasnt there....it was that bad. We arrived es at 6 pm sharp and were there until 7.45 with most of that time waiting and being ignored. As we left we overheard another group saying the same thing.

4 /5 Natasha Travis: We stopped here for dinner after a few glasses of wine at a nearby vineyard. The parking was easy and plentiful. The restaurant ambiance was appropriate with darling signs indicating their Louisiana roots. The bar was limited ,however, likely they could have made whatever we wanted and had all the basic items. Appetizer selection was good. Unfortunately, the gumbo was unexpected with tomatoes and corn; not consistent with the typical gumbo recipe. Otherwise, the servings were heaping with enough to carry some home! Service was excellent, very attentive and accomidating; what I consider great hospitality! We spent 80$ for our meal without alcoholic drinks. All in all, I would definitely go back
