Jemil's Big Easy

Watch out for this guy! The first time I ordered from you simply cancel my order right when it was due to be delivered. At least she refunded me my money. I decided to give him another chance and this time I never repaired my order or did anything at all, except keep my money. He totally ripped me off for a meal. He never gave me even after he promised me to refund the money. This guy is a crook!

I ordered food from Jemil's Big Easy through ChowNow for immediate pick-up. When I got there, they were closed for two more days. I called Jemil's Big Easy to explain what happened and to cancel my order. They verbally agreed to cancel my order. I tried to confirm through email, but they never responded. 2 days layer I was charged the full amount (about $50). I tried contacting them again, no response. I tried going through ChowNow customer service. ChowNow made a minimal attempted to contact the restaurant as well, but they also received no response. I can appreciate a mistake, but this feels intentional at this point.

Absolutely fabulous. The fish and chips are like nothing I've ever had. The fried shrimp Poboy is so spectacular

The food isn't bad. I lived in New Orleans for four years so I know what good New Orleans food should taste like. It's very hard to find good Cajun food in the Seattle area, so you can do much worse than this place.Sampler with the blackened catfish, red beans and rice, and jambalaya was pretty good. I wish their jambalaya had shrimp in it though, it was definitely a little lacking. The fried okra was freshly fried so it was hot and delicious. Service is what you can expect from a place like this, laid back and friendly albeit a little slow.Certainly not worth going out of my way to get food from this food truck, but if I'm craving the taste of New Orleans, I wouldn't mind if it was in my vicinity.

Every time I see Jemil's food truck at Westlake, people line up before they even open. Got in line around noon and the line was at least 12 deep but I really wanted to try them and the menu looked pretty good too from Po' Boys, Etouffes, Gumbo, Jambalayas, Blackened fish, fried goodies etc. I decided to get their Catfish Po'Boy Sandwich, pretty good sandwich, fried catfish, heavily seasoned, good amount of lettuce & tomato with their remoulade sauce all served on a crusty bread. My co-worker got the Chicken Po'Boy and she liked it very much too. We also shared some fried okra, salty but tasty! They go pretty heavy handed on the salt and seasoning. Po'Boys are a nice size and definitely filling. Depending on the meat you get, the sandwiches can range from $10-$13.Even though the line is long, the food didnt take very long to make, staff was nice & friendly and work hard to crank out the orders.

AMAZING food. Catfish was like eating a cloud it was so soft and light. Po boy was amazing, so happy to find somewhere with fried okra too!

This truck came to our parking lot today. It smelled so good and the food was even better. I had the blackened shrimp Po'boy sandwich. It was huge...I could only eat one half and saved the rest for tomorrow's lunch. Great portion sizes and plenty of large shrimp! Will definitely try some other items on the menu next time they come here!

My jaw would've dropped once I discovered how succulent their blackened chicken was, but I was too busy. Eatin' chicken! ...which is generally a lame thing to order out, but the rules don't apply to Jemil's. Though I've never been to Louisiana, I'm still a Southerner and would pick BBQ over Cajun any day as I've literally never enjoyed Cajun food. That all changed one fateful Tuesday when I poached some leftovers from a work lunch catered by your boy. All I could think was "WTF! How can chicken be so flavorful?". An thus began what has become an obsessive search for how--HOW?! to recreate this new, disturbing reality. And I haven't even gotten to the salad! What sorcery did Jemil pull for unassuming leaves and usually lame squash to get their act together and become something so tender and fresh I felt like a baby deer eating rose petals on the lawn of the Royal Family as they take their tea and cucumber sandwiches.Let's not forget the jambalaya, which managed to be juicy without a sign of mushiness and was actually spicy enough to excite my tastebuds - they were doing cartwheels. What in heavens? I'm just lost.

TL;DR: If you want to place an order for pickup from Jemil's, it's a good idea to call first to see if they're open.Food from Jemil's has always been great - best fried okra I've ever had, anywhere. Today, though, I placed an order, with a pickup time scheduled for about two hours later (during posted business hours). Order platform (ChowNow) indicated the order was received. Went to pick up order at the scheduled time, but no one was there. ChowNow, to their credit, called within 30 minutes of the scheduled pickup time to see if I'd gotten my order, because they could see in their system that the order cycle hadn't been completed. ChowNow immediately processed a refund.Based on this experience, on a similar Yelp review in April this year, and on looking at Jemil's social media, I wonder if they're still in business at all (no recent posts). I do hope they survive - the food is so good! But if they are still in business, they should update the order platform to not accept orders if they are closed or can't fulfill them.

Amazing cajun cooking. Jemil is a seriously talented chef and entrepreneur. My order got cancelled but he helped me anyway. The fried chicken and blackened catfish are superb. You made a customer for life.Thanks,Russell
