Review by Tiana Abbott

I had a delightful evening at The Free Man Cajun Cafe & Lounge! 🎶 We were drawn in by the vibrant live jazz, creating an electric atmosphere that was truly special.

I ordered the crawfish pasta, and it was phenomenal - rich flavors that transported me straight to Louisiana! My friends enjoyed the shrimp étouffée, which they raved about. The service was friendly, though a bit slow as it was busy with an event.

The $10 cover was reasonable for the fantastic entertainment. I'll definitely be back for another night of great music and tasty comfort food! 🎉
