Cajun Connection - Winfield, Alabama

This place isn’t something I personally prefer, but I can see how folks who are really into Cajun food, gator, frog legs, etc would love it.
I took my parents (from Hamilton) here based on recommendations from neighbors.
Mom had fried shrimp that was good. Dad had mahi. He enjoyed it. The Mahi is kinda small for the price. Sad it’s not available fried. The shrimp was great. I had chicken tenders because the menu was not as robust as I’d hoped lol. Not their fault though. Biggest disappointment was that with alllll the fried food you can get there, you cannot get a fried potato. The hush puppies are amazing, though.
Anyway, our food was good, our service was good, the prices seem fair; but I probably won’t be back. That doesn’t mean I don’t think others would love this place easily, so I didn’t want to roast these nice people with a review that reflected just my personal food preferences.
All in all, we had a nice experience and are thankful for it.

After leaving this establishment I didn't really feel like I was in a restaurant or a place to get something to eat.

I felt like I had taken a vacation and visited a place where I do not live.

The service and attentiveness to the client was outstanding. We started our meal off with Gator bites and breaded and fried crawfish tails. My wife who isn't actually a fan of Gator bites actually like them and I thought the breaded and fried tails were great.

I ended up having Bubba Taters: boiled red potato with fried shrimp and Cajun gravy with a side of hush puppies and corn on the cob. My wife had triggerfish platter which was grilled but not fried. Hers came with a side of coleslaw and hush puppies.

Everything was done to perfection... The hostess reminded us that we must stick to the menu precisely and no variations from what's on it. I guess the food prep area needs to keep a grip on how much of what they have for each thing they prepare.

After leaving the establishment with the surroundings of the outside and the humid and overcast Alabama weather we were having I thought I had actually been on vacation this place is so awesome is just a step away from your everyday life. Highly recommended and I will be back and I appreciate the staff and service and food just want everybody to know that thank you very much.

Casual atmosphere and friendly staff. The cajun grilled shrimp, fried fish, and gator bites are so good! Frog legs too. They are only open Thursday thru Friday, and get busy during dinner. The best time to go to avoid the crowd seems to be Saturday afternoons (1-4).

We were told to try this place out. We are visiting from Texas. We got the Boudin balls, crawfish, grilled shrimp, bang bang shrimp, alligator bites, and chicken. It was all delicious! We'll be sure to come back again.

The food and sweet tea here is great! They run out of crawfish quickly so get there early.
Had the beignets for the first time and they are delicious...I would recommend! Even the next day and cold they were delicious! No complaints!!!

I definitely plan to go back. I had fried fish and fried oysters.. the oysters were not as fresh as being at the beach. Next time I’ll just get the fish.

We ordered a pound of crab claws for our appetizer, and were amazed at the generous portion. They were served with cocktail sauce and remoulade, and were absolutely delicious. For our entrees, we ordered grilled salmon and fried shrimp. Both were served with buttered corn on the cob, potatoes, hush puppies and coleslaw. Everything was cooked to perfection. The sweet tea was so good I got 3 refills, and took the last one to go. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I will definitely go back to Cajun Connection if I am in the area again.
