First off they brought a sample tray I really liked that. The food was really good. The place was clean and staff was friendly. I highly recommend this location in Burlington nc. Mike

Nice vibe, good service. Food has the flavor, but too salty for me.

After seeing a coworkers plate, we decided to try The Lost Cajun out. We were greeted at entrance. We were also given some samples as we hadn’t eaten in the restaurant before. We ordered a sampler, oyster plate, and lobster bisque. To our surprise the portions of food are small for the price. The food was good but not for the price. The service was inconsistent. At one point only the cook was in the restaurant with us. I am unsure if we will try this restaurant again.

I've gone twice and the flavors are as strong as anywhere in North Carolina! They give 6 free samples for you to try, every visit. It's the only place I've gotten crayfish in the area as I couldn't find it elsewhere, and it was in the free sample. From the appetizers to the main dishes to dessert, this place is amazing! The staff also recognized me on my second visit! This is one of the places I'll really miss next week when I'm living in Texas. The food is great, as are the people, and I've been to way more expensive places that don't have anywhere near the great taste! Everyone is great at their job and honestly I hate that I found arguably the best restaurant in North Carolina a little before leaving. I would recommend a dish, but there are too many great ones here, so I would suggest going several times!

Good Cajun food here but small portions. When they seat you they put beads on your neck, kinda like New Orleans Style then they bring a sampler with all the different types of gumbo etc. It’s pretty neat. The Lobster bisque was delicious. Service was okay, we had two waitresses but one left and then the other one took a break and we were left with the cook helping us at the end.

So we stopped here due to the fact that we have been to the one in south carolina and had a great experience. We got in around 5 it was only our party of 5 and a 3 top before us. Then the flood gates opened and their inside seating filled up with about 6-7 more tables. Their manager came from the kitchen and helped start the tables coming in with drinks and the sampler platter. Our server was very friendly and she was working the tables as best as she could. When the second server came in her whole vibe and body language was just negative. And you could just tell she didnt want to be there at all. So our food order was taken about 25 min after sitting and after some of the smaller tables got taken care of. As we waited for our order, tables that came in after us had eaten and were starting to leave. We finally got our food we wanted more bread however when we asked the 2nd server how many were in a basket we never got the answer. 15 min later we got bread from our server at which time we also order baby beignets. They made them to order however they were the regular ones and not what we wanted. We ended up just cancelling them. It was now 7p.m. and we had to get on the road. We did receive 10% off for a military discount. All in all we were excitied to go but so so disappointed in the results. The manager and the original server as well as the 2 other kitchen staff were trying their best i will give them that. I probably wont visit this location for a bit , but hopefully i will give them another try.

We were here again tonight! My little family and I have loved this place since it opened. Always enjoy the food and Elaine as our waitress. Husband claims as of tonight, he’s a huge fan of their fish. And, once again, thank you chef! Your food is delicious ?

Service is excellent! We are native New Orleanians and they always get it just right. Definitely worth checking out for yourself!

Good Lord this place is excellent. Elaine.. the server... one of the best ever. try the lobster bisque.. you'll thank me!!

Staff was very friendly. Was a great dining experience with awesome people.
