Great Breakfast Stop!
Reviewer: Bob Dolan
from Thousand Oaks, CA
We stopped here for an 11:00am 'breakfast' that really worked;;
My wife had two eggs with hash-browns and lemon-chicken sausage. She gives her meal 5-stars;;
I had two eggs with grits, Louisiana hot sausage, and corn bread. I gave my meal 4-stars -- taking off a star for grits that were a little thin and needed salt.
But, then, how many places are there in SoCal where you can get grits that rate 4 out of 5 stars?;;
BTW: The corn bread was excellent;;
We got a spontaneous smile from two people when we came in.
Service rated 5-stars from start to finish.
Only 'problem' with the service was turning down offers to freshen my coffee;;
Cajun Kitchen has a rich New Orleans menu.
I wish I had tried the Gumbo, but we were set on having breakfast;;
We are going back to the Cajun Cafe.
It's an easy-on/easy-off from the 101.
BTW: You can get a beer [Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and others] with your meal -- this in contrast to reports from other sites that Cajun Kitchen does not serve alcohol -- not true;;
We have this on our PCH-101 Way-point list.

Great food, terrible service
Reviewer: Rami
from Santa Barbara, CA
I had the Cajun Pizza for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately, even though the food was flavorful and big portioned, the service my fiancée and I received was terrible - we will never come back to this location. The waitress completely ignored us after we ordered our food. However, the cook was very fast and both our plates were on the table within 10 minutes, so we gave the waitress some slack on not refilling our coffee and waters on the spot. As time went by we both realized we were being ignored. We ordered coffee, water, and extra corn bread and we received ZERO refills and extra bread. I got up and asked another waiter to get us our refills and told him to cancel the bread after I explained how long we've been waiting. He apologized and returned with the corrected bill, refilled our waters, and told us he'd return with our coffee. So we waited a while longer... and waited some more... and waited. I think half a star is fair considering that I had to get up to ask for good customer service instead of expecting it. Cajun Kitchen does have amazing food, I just hope the food at the other locations are just as delicious as it was here.

Overrated... under delivered
Reviewer: Teresa
from Atascadero, CA
We went to the Cajun Kitchen based on all the positive internet reviews. However, we were very under-whelmed. My home fries were served cold (clearly cooked the day prior as we were at the restaurant quite early and were one of the first three tables to be served). The western omelet that I ordered was also served with cold internal ingredients (peppers, tomato). The eggs were cooked, but apparently, they just stuff the middle with cold ingredients from the refrigerator. And sadly, although, my husband's hashbrowns looked nice and crispy on the outside, the inside was cold and uncooked. He did however rate the eggs benedict a 6 out of 10. Next time we'll eat at home.

Good service, meh food.
Reviewer: Minnie
from Santa Barbara, CA
I think this place suffers from a serious case of the blahs. The food started out just as good as the orignal when they opened years back in Carp. But nowadays, it's a long wait for pretty much standard fare that is either too salty or bland. The service is still great; everyone is super friendly and as attentive as they can be even during crowded times. But the overall feel is that something's gone downhill. The tables are always sticky and dirty and the place doesn't really smell like fresh food, if you know what I mean. It needs a good scrub and maybe a return to whatever formula they were using in the beginning that made it so great!

a regular customer
Reviewer: laura avila
from Santa Barbara, CA
I like that the bus boy's are always keeping your drinks full because they are about 2-3 working at the same time. They seem more friendly than the waitresses.I go every sunday morning with my parents and friends.The food is quick witch I love. I really recommend the crazie sheerly with home potatoes my parents like to eat alot of meet but they were satisfied with the plate.

Good Breakfast
Reviewer: Dan

Good early morning breakfast diner. I get the pancakes and they're pretty good. I hear the omelettes are good too. The New Orleans look is cool. I love the nice, older waitress. She reminds of my grandma. Breakfast with a smile!

As Cajun as you'll find around here
Reviewer: Cherry
from Carp,CA
I love Cajun kitchen. Who knows if it's truly authentic but at least for what it is, it's good eats. My favorite meal being the Roz omelette. With a choice of a potato side dish and a bread side dish, one order can easily feed two people. And not expensive at all! I can walk out of there after breakfast and feel like I got a steal of a deal.

Slightly Spicy Cajun Breakfast
Reviewer: Jason
from Carpinteria
The Cajun Kitchen in Carp is me and my wife's favorite place to eat for breakfast. The food, with it's cajun flair, gives the usual omelet the extra kick it needs to rise above the mundane. Our usual is the Roz. The price and quick, pleasant service are very important too. Their menu has a decent lunch section as well, but as I mentioned, we mainly hit this place up in the morning. On the weekends get there early or wait until later, cuz during the mid-morning hours you'll find a line.

Great Breakfast, Good Lunch, Service always Good.
Reviewer: JS
from Goleta
Always tasty food and good service. I dine here for lunch once a week or so and have never been let down. The food comes quickly and the service is always good, especially for repeat customers. The menu is the same as the other locations, but this one may be my favorite, as it’s not as crowded and the servers have more character. The breakfast is the winner, but lunch is still good. As long as they keep serving the cornbread I will be a repeat customer. Fast, friendly service and good food!
