Has the south location opened up? I drove by and the parking lot was full and the big patio fan was on.

Not officially. They are probably doing training / friends & family type of thing.

From their FB page:


Join us this Thursday, May 12 as we soft-launch the newest Cajun Corner! Our hours will be 11-10 on Thursday and we hope to see you there

I've been told that their opening was delayed because they didn't put in a detention pond.

interesting... aerial imagery shows one installed just south and east of buffalo wild wings. i'm sure the intention was for it to be shared by multiple tenants. perhaps cajun corner didn't tie into it properly or the pond isn't adequately sized for both businesses.

No, CC must have their own detention pond.

unless you know some peculiarity of this specific project, i don't see why... it's not uncommon for planned developments like this to have a common detention pond.

There is a formula that the city has for new construction. If BWW had made their detention pond large enough to accommodate their runoff and that of CC, then of course CC wouldn't have to build their own. But why would BWW do that? They have been open for years now and had no idea who their future neighbors would be. They built their detention pond to meet their requirements just as CC will do. From what I'm told CC just got bad advice somewhere along the way. The city is working with them and it should all be cleared up soon.

cajun corner on south i-44 was open for business today.

Cajun Corner has great food

I wonder if Cajun King is still good, been about 8 years since I’ve been but both times it was great!

i had a pretty good experience there today. food and service were on point, but they weren't busy yet. i think they've been open since last sunday.

the only weird thing is that they have a wall of beer taps that appear to be self serve... i haven't ever seen anything like that and don't even know if that would be ok under able regulations. it's possible that there is a bar that hasn't been installed yet but it didn't seem as if there was enough room.

i had a pretty decent experience at cajun king around a decade ago at their original location. but their brief venture into the southside near 74th & penn was one of the worst run places i've been to.

When I spoke to the owner about their planned location on 23rd about 5 years ago, he mentioned he wanted to do a self-serve beer model and asked me about the legality.

I checked with several bar and restaurant operators and they all told me that ABLE would absolutely not allow it, which is why there is no such thing in the state.

Maybe something changed?

interesting background... wish i would have snapped a picture to post here. the only thing in front of the taps is one of those common metal dividers that says '21 and over beyond this point'... in a restaurant bar, you typically see that divider, then the bar seats, the bar itself, then the taps. here, it's just that divider and then the taps... it's set up almost exactly like a long fountain station, except with beer taps.

Having self-serve beer taps during a pandemic seems like a hilariously bad idea.

I was there a couple of weeks ago and they definitely told me that the beer was going to be self serve. Yet to be seen if they can pull it off.

Closer to being an endemic

What about Crave in Yukon, last time we were there it was a self-serve beer wall.

I was just coming to ask about that. I thought that was the case.
