Cajun Country Cafe - Oxnard (CA)

5 /5 Darleene Powells: Cajun Country Cafe popped up first when we checked Google maps for a place to eat while visiting Oxnards Christmas Tree lane. It had been a while since we had some soul food, so we were up for it. I have 2.5 teenage boys (one is 11), so we got the fried fish sampler and the barbecue sampler. The food was so flavorful -- my kids declared the mac & cheese the best theyd ever had, while I was swooning over the candied yams, and we all thought the fried red snapper and catfish were so delicious with a breading that was not too thick and perfectly crispy. I did not even get to try the hot links, which my kids and husband gobbled up. In spite of how great the food was, it was the vibe that really stood out to me. Cajun Country Cafe is in a nondescript strip mall, but we happened to stop in on Saturday night. While we waited for our order, a dude who we thought was just there by himself having coffee got on the keyboard and was shortly joined by a drummer and guitarist. The live music was such a fun surprise, and a new experience for my entire family. (I tried to upload videos to this review, but Google is not cooperating.) We are definitely coming back!

5 /5 Adcock Jason “Argo”: Amazing southern style cooking skillfully prepared with a lot of care and attention. You can tell that the owner must have a lot of pride in their restaurant. The fried catfish was perfectly cooked and the batter was extremely light and delicate. Not at all greasy or heavy. The collard greens were exceptional, you should definitely give them a try even if you think you dont like greens.

5 /5 Emiliano D.: It smelled so good from the moment you walk in because of the food. They are very welcoming and kind if you are a first timer or not sure what to order. The food speaks for itself, jam packed with flavor and depth. A go to for fried chicken, catfish, and the mac and cheese.

5 /5 Sean Campbell: Excellent food. Owner was very nice and patient with me when I could not decide what to order. I got the cajun rub wings and they were really good. Fries tasted delicious. Thank you for the meal!
