Went to dinner with a party of 4. The interior of Ragin Cajun is eclectic and fun without being kitsch. The maroon walls and black accents, string lights, prints of New Orleans jazz and blue performers and mixed of blues and rock on the sound system created a great environment to enjoy a unique meal down the shore. We started with the alligator sausage served with a delicious mustard sauce. A little heat and a lot of flavor. The sausage was cooked to a pleasing snap. It is mildly flavored and was well received. The other starter was a shrimp remoulade. The shrimp were fat and juicy. The sauce was delicious. I've had this dish at Gallatoire's in New Orleans. Ragin Cajun's sauce was thinner but just as good. The neat thing about Ragin Cajun's version is that the dish consists of crispy fresh greens, celery, and raw onion. It was so filling and satisfying. Blackened catfish was delicious. The chef formed a light crust (almost like a creme brulee top) on the fish. The red beans and rice and generous piece of steamed broccoli were minimally seasoned. The rice had a touch of salt. The minimal processing balanced the seasoning of the catfish nicely. The sauce was also a nice accompaniment for the rice and broccoli that were both used to clean the plate of all the delicious blackening. Desserts were key lime pie and creme brulee cheesecake. The pie was perfectly tart and the cheesecake was so light. The other three in the party had pasta dishes with seafood (shrimp/scallops) or chicken added on. Again, delicious use of blackening seasoning in the dishes and lots of well-executed veggies. Portions were very large and three boxes returned home with us. The servers were pleasant and efficient. I will definitely return.

We love this place. We've been coming here for years and every time it is incredible. Sitting outside in the summer is great, and they have live music some nights. Ragin Cajun really stands out amid a sea of bars and Italian restaurants at the shore. There is no place like it in New Jersey. The rolls and roasted garlic alone make the trip worth it. Highly recommend.

Another great meal at Ragin Cajun!!  The food is consistently good and the staff is so friendly and helpful.  The New Orleans authenticity in the food is very apparent.  We took my dad who was born and raised in NOLA and he said it tasted like his childhood.  W have eaten both inside and out.  Inside you get the warmth of NOLA with hints of city all around you.  Outside is a beautiful view of the bay across the street.

One of my favorite restaurants. Staff is always friendly. Outdoor seating in the summer is so nice, watching the sunset. Food is always good. BYOB
