In addition to offering boils of shrimp, mussels, and crawfish by the pound, this no-frills suburban spot also offers fried fish and shrimp sandwiches as well as a cold meat option. Perhaps perfect for spice averse Minnesotans, customers get to pick the spice level.

The suburbs are showing up! Also located in Brooklyn Park, this strip-mall outpost has a specifically Luisiana take on cajun boils. Spice scents fill the air in Crazy Cajun, the brainchild of chef John Nguyen who hails from a family restaurant business.

Located in the building that used to house Reverie, Cajun Boiling makes the most of its Eat Street address, serving beer, wine, and cocktails with its boils. Boils are also available via apps like DoorDash, BiteSquad, and more which makes warming up cajun style in the winter easy peasy.

Corn, potatoes, seafood and spice is what visitors will find at St. Paul’s Grand Catch. The spot has been making a splash since its debut last year with its crawfish boils and bright-blue exterior. It’s also a partnership with the chef/owner of Cajun Deli in case diners don’t want to venture to the ‘burbs to try his food.

While Sweet Cajun Boiling Seafood may be small, it is mighty. They serve up big, spicy flavors with friendly service to boot. Guests can have their pick of a variety of seafood from mussels to Dungeness Crab and lobster.
