The Yummiest Cajun/Creole in Colorado Springs

Yabby Hut

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51)

"The other location is still my favorite. The service is just that much better. The food was great and my crawfish yabby Cajun medium spice level assuaged my craving. The snow crab leg cluster so delish. The place is clean and spacious. Parking was touch as the lot is shared with Casa Bonita. But it was a good dinner."

Front Range Barbeque

★★★★☆ 4.2 (827) • $$

"Tourist review: so, so glad we stopped here for dinner on a Saturday night! We were looking for a spot to watch some college football and landed on Front Range Barbeque... excellent service from start to finish. Immediately the staff honored our request to change tables so we could be near a TV and they were kind enough to put on our game. The bartender was also our waiter and he was awesome. Hubs and I split a plate so we could try a little bit of everything. The meat was super tender & flavorful and baked beans were perfect. I'm a big sides girl and loved the crispy onions and cornbread. We don't usually eat leftovers but this time we did! The ambiance is definitely bar-type which surprised me that they had so few TVs. If you're looking for a spot to watch a game, you could get lucky like us or maybe consider another location... otherwise, a perfect dining experience in Old Colorado City."

The Boil Daddy - Colorado Springs

★★★★☆ 4 (28)

"This establishment is clean and has a simple layout, I like it. We ordered Mahalo fish and a shrimp po boy. The seafood is fresh and the sauce that comes with, we chose Dave's sauce, was garlicky buttery Cajun spiced goodness. Seasoning on the fries was great and the ranch was homemade. The employees are so friendly and accommodating. We will absolutely be back to try a crab boil."

Mile High City Sliders

★★★★★ 4.8 (41) • $

"Holy crap. These are probably the best sliders I've ever had.Like, standing outside the truck is legit difficult because of how good it smells. Believe you me I did quick mental math on if I could hoist myself up through the order window and steal literally all of the burgers before they noticed. I opted instead on paying and waiting like a normal human being. I ordered two doubles, and they were both amazing. Though honestly I couldn't quite tell them apart. Would've loved a little more aggressive flavor -- but I also don't really care too much.Guys, they're awesome. They're SO good. Two doubles is perfect if you want to pretend you're fat but still be like hey it's not THAT much food! They're just so good. I was angry I wasn't starving to death because I wanted to eat like 400 sliders. Look I know this is hyperbolic and all, but I'm immediately a massive fan of this food truck and cannot wait to follow them around town to breweries."

NoNo's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"NoNo's is awesome! It is true to it's vision and atmosphere and delivers every time. It's designed to be rustic and down home - and it surely is. The food is fantastic! The service is passable, but friendly. It definitely scratches an itch when you want cajun food."

"Superb. Great food. Friendly, efficient staff. Quick service. Easy take out or eat in.., sorry no photos, I gobbled the food down."

Jessie's Smokin Nola

★★★★☆ 4.3 (83) • $$

"WORTH A TRIP. Looking for something a little different on Yelp. Cajun sounded good. Positive reviews. Clean. Nola jazz playing on the speakers. Order at the counter. Delivered to your table. Shared the Taste of Nola, and the fried chicken special. $49 including tip. No drinks Fried chicken special: fresh, hot, crunchy, with a kick. Yummy Fried shrimp: cooked just right seasoned. Med heat cocktail sauce. More yum. Jambalaya: ample serving , mild but flavorful. Heavy on the rice, it's filling. Chunks of chicken and sausage. Red beans and rice: traditional flavor and worth ordering Fried catfish. Meaty and tender. At least 2 more meals out of the leftovers. We live 30 minutes away. We will be back."

Toby's New Orleans Po'boys

★★★★★ 4.8 (34)

"Driving through the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, I recall finding Toby's New Orleans Po'boys Food Truck, but without any idea what is was!! Found by the Omar D. Blair Charter School, look for a wide and lengthy dark green train car on wheels! I was feeling free to give the Jambalaya a try and with some of the favorite meats they served. Also, a great substitute, if you are allergic to seafood! ( add chicken, smoked sausage, ground beef) The Jambalaya was absolutely delicious and super filling, the nice staff are also super warm and welcoming. They also serve Poboys, chicken sausage gumbo, crawfish pasta per demand, cajun taters and beingnets ( traditional, pumpkin spice or churro). I'm also super proud that Toby's didn't go out of business last year, during the March 2020 Restaurant shutdown! It was announced by our local independent news source: Westward."

CJ’s Sticky Fingers

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"They have fried Cat Fish, fries, wings, brisket, pulled pork, rib tips!Fast service.This is a food truck, it's only there on Saturday after 11AM. OPEN generally until they run out of food.I had the rib tips, AMAZING flavor. Very flavorful rub but not the commercially sickeningly sweet sauce. An excellent option I'd say for a diabetic looking to avoid sugar.I Strongly recommend this place.*** They DO NOT sell beverages, BRING YOUR OWN, if you will be eating on the move.*** They are parked at Hampden and Tower rd in Aurora CO."

"Great oysters and calamari.Decent flavored sauce but too much oil and they claim and charge live crawfish prices when they serve you dead ones.2.5 stars for the food4 stars for service"

Mattie's Soul Food

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (12)

"Oh man, do not sleep on this place. We went on a Sunday evening and tried the neck bones, wings, Mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes, greens, red beans and rice and onion rings. The neck bones and the red beans and rice are next level good and the corn bread was so buttery and delicious. Honestly there wasn't a bad bite of food. We also had the special house cocktail which was sweet and fruity and delicious.Check the hours before you go and come with a big appetite, we both brought at least half of our meal home and now I can look forward to having it tomorrow!"

Mama Josie Café Creole

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (2)

"Bonjou tout moun! I'm here today to tell you about Aurora's newest hotspot for Haitian (etc.) cooking - namely, Mama Josie Café Creole in the old Tonti's space at Chambers/Quincy. Let's explore the tasty baked goods, main courses, and more that can be found here.One thing I want to make very clear from the beginning (since I've seen some confusion on this subject) is that the "Creole" in the business name specifically refers to the variety from Haiti, not the one from Louisiana. So no, you won't find étouffée or gumbo or dirty rice here - but at the same time, I don't think you'll miss them when you see what else is on offer. Start things off with a cooling beverage - options on your visit may include Grenadia (passionfruit), Melon (in this case referring to watermelon), or my personal favorite, Choublak (hibiscus) - while you check out the substantially stocked pastry case. Mmmmm, don't those Pates look delicious? Whether your tastes lean more towards Mori (codfish), Epina (spinach), or even Aran So (herring), I think you'll find that these stuffed puff pastry delights will serve as a most suitable starting point for your culinary investigations. And on that note, let's look a little further at Mama Josie's menu offerings, and see what awaits us in terms of potential main dishes. On my recent visit, I readily admit it took me a while to make a decision from amongst the proprietress's captivating combination plates. But I finally settled on Poule Nan Sòs. Literally "chicken in sauce", this dish of poultry pieces slow-cooked with plenty of thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers, and mixed citrus is a cornerstone of the Haitian kitchen, and was especially memorable when paired with rice and peas (Diri Kole) and stewed corn (Mayi). (By the way, the more familiar Jamaican-style jerk chicken is also offered here). But chicken is certainly not the only main-course possibility to consider at Mama Josie. When the weather gets a bit cooler (any day now, the way things are going), you may get a chance to try a hearty bowl of pumpkin soup (or rather, Soup Joumou). Or, see what you think of some long-braised oxtails, or even a Sunday special of Dinde (turkey) with some macaroni and cheese on the side. Yes, no matter what you pick, it's safe to say that Mama Josie's plentiful platters will make you "trè kontan"."

The Yabby Hut

★★★★☆ 4.1 (591) • $$$

"Love this place. I've been coming here for more than 10 years. It's like home, comfortable and welcoming. They've renovated the restrooms and added a washing sink outside them. Love it! Leas crowded in the restrooms when all you want is to wash your hands. And the food is good. Love the yabby Cajun seasoning. Can't wait to come again."

Crab & Shell Cajun Seafood

★★★★★ 4.5 (54)

"I should have written a review of Crab & Shell Months ago. I never thought I'd see the day where I frequent a restaurant weekly but when I tell you, I frequent this place WEEKLY, it means you should go. Not only is this a local, family-owned business, but the food is delicious. My roots trace back to Louisiana and I am a huge fan of the seafood boil. I had been on the search for a decent seafood boil place in Denver and had been disappointed by many different places. I think the Yelp algorithm must've heard my call because when this spot opened up, it suggested I try it out because it was new. I also LOVED that this restaurant was close to my home in Cap Hill. My first reaction when i walked in was how clean the restaurant was and how it didn't smell like seafood when you walked in the door. In the warmer months, they open the front garage-door windows which makes for a pretty great atmosphere. So enough about my thrill for this spot and more about the quality of food. On a scale of 1-5 the food is consistently a 5. I only get the boils and I build my own and I go with the house blend sauce either medium or hot. The sauce is delicious. They put a ton of fresh garlic in the sauce which is why I think it tastes so good. Each boil comes with 2 potatoes and a piece of corn. It's always hot. The seafood is always clean and tastes fresh. The prices are super reasonable too. I think my favorite thing about this restaurant is how friendly the staff is. I go quite frequently and am always greeted with a smile and a hello. When I leave it's the same but with goodbyes and "I'll see you next times." Everyone there is kind and hard-working. When you're there, ask the servers about their story and I think you will be surprised. You'll, at the very least, have a lovely conversation. I can't think of a better place to review than Crab & Boil and I truly hope they stay in open for many years to come."

The Crab House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (97) • $$

"When I got there, the place was empty. As I made my way to the counter, I didn't know whether I was able to dine in or take out. The individual behind the counter didn't even ask me; so confusing.I ended up getting a booth. It took the same individual like 5 minutes before taking my order, which I have no idea why I'd need that much time and no one else was in the restaurant. Never asked me for a drink. I ordered the lobster roll with fries and honey mustard (which apparently turned into ranch when my order came out). Everything about the meal tasted so bland. I have had better at so many other places. I was left disappointed.Not only was the service awkward and had an uncaring attitude, but the ambiance was strange too -- I felt like an earthquake was happening the entire time I was there -- the entire booth was mildly shaking. I have no idea why that was the case. Overall, this place I feel needs better service, with those who are caring, considerate and not robotic, as well as more flavor in its meals."

Po' Brothers

★★★★★ 4.9 (16)

"The food here is AMAZING. My husband and I both got the half orders of shrimp po boys. They were so good... we wished we had gotten the full! The shrimp is fried just enough, the bread is so soft, it's loaded with fresh herbs and vegetables, and oh! my! god! The sauce... I want to take a bath in that sauce! The owners were also very kind and you can just tell they are good people. The truck itself has a little bit of seating they set up around it, and they are getting a mural commemorating their daughter painted on the back of it. We'll definitely be returning."

The Juicy Seafood

★★★★☆ 3.5 (229) • $$

"The salt and pepper plus garlic butter mixture tasted perfect on my shrimp and mussels. I was impressed how flavorful it was. The shrimp and mussels were a nice size for the price point. The cheesecake was decent. The side of spaghetti for my kid was big for $4My family and I are definitely coming back. The servers were upbeat and attentive on a very busy night. The fried calamari was extra salty."
