We fly in from Reno NV yearly going on 3. Gotta get you some of this. Great food smackin service. Atmosphere. Great drinks and reasonably priced being from Reno. 2 people Apps entrees 3 alcoholic drinks and desert 68 bucks. Plus there's a sampler The service was so good we gave them a smacking tip.
This place has great hush puppies and Cajun gumbo. If that sounds like your style, then drop in!
Me and my wife went here for a date in town and loved it. If you've never been there before they give you a sample tray of different gumbos and some Jambalaya to try. The gumbos (especially the lobster one) were excellent, so rich and creamy. We're kind of used to the instant meal variety of Jambalaya so this was a nice departure from that with lots of flavor.
We ended up getting some hush puppies and fried okra for appetizers. They came out quick, and I am a sucker for hush puppies so those were absolutely fantastic. The fried okra was also good.
Entrees we ordered were blackened fish stir fry and an order of shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits comes with the lobster bisque on top so it is just delightful. The blackened fish stir fry was great too, nice and with a little bit of spice.
Needless to say we cleaned the plates and would recommend!

Excellent food and great service! I'm completely obsessed with New Orleans, so I absolutely loved the music and decor in the Lost Cajun. The food was great. I ordered the alligator bites and the small fish and shrimp platter. So delicious!
If you’re craving New Orleans, this is the spot. Surprised how much I enjoyed their beignets, shrimp, catfish salad, sweet potato fries and variety of appetizers. Everything goes well with Bourbon 😉!! Tonight was Eagle Rare & Basil Hayden. Come w an appetite. Appreciate the friendly staff and recommendations 🥳👊
Immediately a new favorite for us here in the Upstate. Some of the best roux I've had in a long, long time. Sampler came with six of their cajun classics and they were all good. Our first trip, my wife and I each had a half Shrimp Po-Boy with a side of Gumbo (mine was Seafood, hers was Chicken & Sausage). The bread was fresh, the batter did not overwhelm the shrimp and the Gumbo was devine. Perfect depth on the seasoning with just the right amount of heat. Service was excellent! We will be back soon! Highly recommend!
They give you a sampler tray.. This place is great. I ordered the Blackened fish gumbo, and The Hurricane for a drink. When I tell you they were both on point! FYI: I like frozen mixed drink, sue me 🤷🏾♂️ The Lost Cajun Greenville SC I will be back. So leave the light on 💡!
What a disappointment, but maybe it’s my fault for trying a new restaurant during “The Fall of Greenville event “ I ordered the seafood gumbo and sausage gumbo with a side of alligator bites . The gumbo looks like watered down dog food, that i wouldn’t even give my own dog , with two pieces of baby micro shrimp and the alligator bites had mixed pieces of shrimp in the container. Quality and quantity were awful !!!! But I can say the staff was amazing and friendly everyone kept checking on us as we waited for our Togo order . Maybe I just came on a bad night ?? 🤦♀️
The atmosphere and service here is really good. It definitely has a New Orleans vibe to it when you enter, with the service, let you know you definitely get southern hospitality. The server did let us try the different sauces available which was really cool.
It could be because I've been to New Orleans and experienced authentic New Orleans food that my expectations are higher, but the food was decent.
The best thing we had at the table was the pastas, and fried okra. My daughter did not like the jambalaya, and my mother thought the red beans and rice at Popeyes is better. I think a little more rice with the red beans would have been better. It was more of a soup with the amount of rice provided. So definitely ask for an additional rice if you order.
