I've been to New Orleans many times and have experienced some great Cajun style food, so I have pretty high standards. For the most part, from what I've ordered, CQ does a pretty damn good job. I've been twice and ordered the \u00c9touff\u00e9e both times because it's very good. It's got the perfect amount of spice that pairs well with an ice cold Abita. The BBQ shrimp is a great app as well. It's not so much about the shrimp as it is the sauce you dip the bread in. Delicious. My girlfriend was hit and miss with her entrees in the 2 times we've been. The shrimp Diane was just OK. It's a lighter consistency than the \u00c9touff\u00e9e and doesn't have the kick I look for when I'm in the mood for Cajun. The shrimp and grits weren't good at all. The grits were bland and the blackened shrimp didn't hit the mark.\n\nOverall, I enjoy coming here, but the prices are a little high. I've had better quality for cheaper in New Orleans, but I guess you're paying the convenience fee. Groupon & Living Social FTW!!!
