Cajun is just a name, 7/25/2010
Reviewer: Barry from Santa Barbara, CA
Cajun Kitchen is solid for American breakfast or lunch items. In my experience, their Cajun specialties are a joke. I tried the Seafood Gumbo today and it was horrible. Hardly any flavor at all. What's wrong with that picture? I can't believe someone in the kitchen thinks it's ok to serve this.


Really? This is the best breakfast in Santa Barbara?, 8/16/2009
Reviewer: Rachel from Portland, OR
We were traveling in the area during a road trip from Portland and found ourselves in Santa Barbara at breakfast time. Not knowing the area we found Santabarbara.com's best of 2009 list which listed Cajun Kitchen as the best breakfast in town. We made our way to the Chapala location and were pretty disappointed with this "best of" restaurant. The food was not horrible but was by no means great. Not at all what you would expect from a restaurant that was chosen best in town. The menu is not original in any way and the food tasted average at best. The service was decent which seemed to be the restaurant's one redeeming factor.If this really is the best the town has to offer we'll skip breakfast in Santa Barbara next time.


Last visit will be my... last.
Reviewer: Amanda from Santa Barbara, CA
I used to dine at Cajun Kitchen on many occasions. However upon our last visit we had to end up asking for our money back due to a few circumstances that I believe warranted it. The manager of the restaurant wouldn't handle our complaint and instead had us wait for the owner to call us back; when the owner did call us back he was very defensive of his restaurant and said he would like to make us happy and that he would provide us with a refund; however he stated "he didn't appreciate doing it." Instead of apologizing to us everything turned into a hassle. When we made it into the restaurant to put the refund back on my card the manager, instead of refunding my card, made us wait again while he called the owner because he didn't want to deal with it. Horrible service on top of horrible service, very disapointing.


No complaints here
Reviewer: Mark from Santa Barbara, CA
We've been here a few times and they never disappoint. The food (a scramble with sausage and grits and the New Orleans omelet with potatoes) was cooked perfectly and the service was impeccable (I couldn't count the amount of times my coffee was topped off). They will get another visit.
