Cajun Skillet Restaurant & Catering - Cedar Park

I can’t say enough about Cajun Skillet! Their food is amazing so full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The Hush puppies are crispy and sweet with a touch of Pepperiness (yes, that’s a word) the chicken so tender and expertly season and oh my the jambalaya!!! Not pictured because I couldn’t wait is the beignets. They are fluffy little pillows of love! There are no words to describe how amazing the hospitality is.

Wow. Finding the words to describe this place is tough. Vibe: Immaculate. Small indoor dining area with three tables, some outdoor tables as well. People: Incredibly helpful and sweet. Very willing to explain menu and provide recs. Food: THIS IS THE BEST CAJUN OUTSIDE OF NEW ORLEANS. Seriously though, I've yet to find food of this caliber anywhere outside of NOLA, I had their Bayou Tacos and Mac and Cheese. Buddy had the catfish platter with Mac and cheese and Dirty Rice. I wanted to order one of everything. Seriously though, run here now. It will be an experience like you've never had.

Cajun Skillet Restaurant and Catering is THE place to go for Cajun food in Cedar Park, scratch that, in Central Texas! This is a fantastic black-owned restaurant led by husband and wife team Steven and Shantrese. Shantrese is so sweet and remembers the names of people eating in their restaurant. Steven, working two jobs, I don’t know how you do it where love still shows up on the plate. I ordered the chicken sausage gumbo, mac and cheese, bread pudding, and a strawberry daiquiri. I heard from multiple people at the other tables tonight (from Louisiana) that it is truly the best gumbo from the streets of NOLA which the dark color of the stew. They were impressed and so was I! All the food was great!! Gillam family, thank you for welcoming me into your kitchen. I’ll be back and even want to go for your Sunday brunch!
