Amazing food and service. Had the crawfish and roast beef poboy, boudin balls, and my girl had the fried pork chops. Amazing! I'm from Louisiana and it was on point!

If you find yourself craving a few pounds of plump crawfish or a roast beef po-boy with a generous application of gravy, the festive, friendly Cajun Stop is your best choice.

Service is friendly and informative. The portions are huge. Prices are super reasonable. We tried the Gumbo and Fried Shrimp - just one word = yummy!

The Cajun Stop is as close to a real New Orleans poor boy sandwich shop as we've had in Houston since Original New Orleans Poor Boys on Main Street closed. Read more

2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Po-Boys: Try the sliced roast beef po-boy covered in brown gravy or the oyster po-boy bursting with crispy battered shellfish. Even Louisianans send their praises!

Best Crawfish Po Boy I've ever had! Wasn't a huge fan of the Boudin Balls though. I'll still be a repeat customer!

Take the The Krazie Bucket. For European bellies it's enough for 2 people.

Could be some of the best boudain balls ever. Oh yes, and spend the extra 2$ to get the regular size, you'll have enough for 3 days.

Because the owner is a native new orleanian, she made sure to ensure that ALL things were authentic! The bread,the shrimp, the lettuce, even the ketchup bottles!

This is the best place for a real authentic po boy. It definitely has the taste of new Orleans right here in houston.
