Cajun & Grill of Circle Center

Blegh. It’s called the Cajun & Grill, but it’s more Asian than Cajun.
Be careful when ordering. I asked for the étouffée and noticed there was no rice on my plate. So I asked for rice (thinking she forgot to scoop me some). When I got to the register, I was charged the 2-​entrée price instead of the 1-​entrée price. Since when does étouffée not come with rice?
So I ended up paying almost $ 11 for a plate of «étouffée» (more on that below), dirty rice (also more on that below) and a side of macaroni & cheese.
There was nothing authentic about the meal at all. The étouffée was just shrimp stir fried with onions and celery in a salty-​tasting brown sauce. The dirty rice was just fried rice as far as I could tell. I’m sure the cheese in the macaroni & cheese was straight out of a can.
I know it’s just a mall food court, but c’mon!

3.5 stars (in the Asian-​style food court category of eats). Surprisingly good if you are a fan of this genre! It’s not fancy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be dang tasty.
Bourbon chicken, tender chunks in a sweet-​but-​not-​too-​sweet sauce … plus no vegetable filler to get in the way! Spicy Cajun chicken, cooked well again with a a bit of noticeable Cajun heat and not too many filler vegetables. Steamed rice, ’twas fine.
I’m not ashamed of my love for cheap food court Asian fare — I definitely enjoyed this meal. And yes, I will be back.

I’m really not sure if the name of this place. The receipt says Kelly’s Cajun Grill, the sign says Cajun & Grill. But the food is as much of a confusing mess as the name of this food court place. I don’t understand how this can be called cajun, it’s really just chinese food. +1 star because the bourbon chicken has a sweet tasty flavor. Everything else sucks.
