Reasonably priced. I had the spicy fried chicken, not the spiciest, but very enjoyable. The corn bread was moist and delicious. The hush puppies were nothing to write home about, and the cole slaw was flavorful. A good visit to a decent joint.

I love Cajun Joe's! A little off the beaten path, it offers up some yummy food you can't find in A2, that's right , I said it, food in Brighton you can't find in Ann Arbor. :-) My favorite is the chicken gumbo (rice on the bottom please) and the fried okra. If you are ever out that way, you should stop in. We usually go every other month, because we are craving it!!

I absolutely love Cajun Joes. They deserve six stars. I have been eating here since I was a kid I'm 27 now and it's still awesome and delicious. The chicken is fresh from the fryer and always crispy. The sides are also very good. I would recommend the 2 piece meal with gumbo and makes potatoes. The gumbo is really my favorite. Big chunks of chicken and vegetables. Just the broth is amazing. I always get it with rice on the bottom. The place is small and cozy with hot rod and nascar memorabilia on the walls. Thy always have some old school music rockin and the staff is really friendly.

Boyfriend bought 2 pot pies and when he got home (we live down the street) I cut one up and it was all watery and the crust was rubbery. I had two bites and thought it tasted sour and didn't want anymore my boyfriend ate a whole plate! Well, needless to say he was up all night stuck in the bathroom.

Reminds me of cajun cafes in New Orleans- no fuss, no pomp and circumstance, just really good food with great ingredients in a drive-up strip-mall. It appears that most people make this a take-out grab and go stop on their way home for dinner, but we decided to order at the counter and eat-in. I had the chicken gumbo with rice and a corn bread muffin for less than $5, while my hubby sampled the chicken strips, catfish strips, and mac & cheese. They were out of fried bone-in chicken when we ordered, but mostly because someone before us was basically catering their family dinner from whatever they had available at the time. If you have a large order- it would be best for you to call in ahead so that it can be prepared in advance for you. Everything was tasty and I'd definitely come back again!

I had the ribs; they advertise them as a specialty. There was absolutely nothing special about them. They are boiled and smothered in a honey based BBQ sauce. The biscuits were quite pasty.

So here's my story, I work in Troy but I don't have a car so I carpool out there from Ann Arbor. My friend who I usually ride with can't take me there one day because he has to catch an early flight somewhere. That day happens to be my last day of work and I sure as hell don't want to have to make it up on the following Monday. So I ask a fellow co-worker, who also happens to live in Ann Arbor, if I can ride with her. So here's where Brighton comes in. Apparently she can't take me all the way home because she's visiting her boyfriend in East Lansing (U of M and State cohabitation...gross) and can only take me as far as Brighton. Fortunately for me I know someone that can pick me up. Using Google Earth, I choose a location to wait for my friend. This is how I'm going to end up at Cajun Joe's. After I get back, I'll tell you how my culinary adventure went. Until then, I'll try to get through my day and hope that I don't get deluged with work on my last day. 8/4/07 Update So here I am the day after and I'm not impressed. I don't usually review places after only one visit because there's no way that you can sample everything in one day. I believe in second chances, so I guess this just counts as a first impression. However, my first impression is that this place is nasty and over-priced. Cajun Joe's is a little place that kind of works like a KFC or Popeye's only much MUCH slower. You're going to be waiting in line for a while if you want something substantial. I ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich that didn't taste too bad. I could tell it was authentic Southern cuisine because I felt really tired and heavy after eating it. Not good if you're trying to eat healthy, but great if you don't care about that sort of stuff (or if you're like me and you're doing it for shits and giggles). It was about $3.50 which is on the average side for anything burger-sized. However, the chicken (which I didn't have) was way too expensive. You're better off making it at home or going to KFC to find a better deal. Four pieces for over $6 is not my idea of a fair price. The restroom (the men's from what I saw) is pretty disgusting (although I've seen worse). The area around the toilet is wet. Everyone is too afraid to flush the toilet because they fear the germs they may get, which leaves a mixture of urine swimming in that porcelain bowl. Most importantly, the door wont close or lock. so pee at your own risk and do it fast lest someone bust in (it's a one toilet bathroom). All in all, my fist impression sucked. I would only go back there to split the price of the 4 piece with a friend, or to try the "Ugly Burger" which is a deep-fried burger. It sounds disgusting but if Andrew Zimmern can do it,so can I. Now time to do some cardio to shed off the pounds that BBQ chicken sandwich gave me.

I have lived in the area all my life and have been wanting to try this place for years but it just never happened. Well, today the wait ended! The owner here is so super friendly and gave us a run down of menu items since this was our first time. It helped that we were alone in there too (it was a late lunch). They put a lot of care into making their food and it seems they make everything from scratch. It all looked and smelled amazing! We settled on fried chicken, fries, green beans, regular biscuits and corn bread muffins. My mother in law got some roasted chicken. I didn't mind the little bit of a wait because we had a good time chatting with the owner and another employee. The food was soooo good! Crispy, moist, perfectly seasoned chicken (if you've read my review of Holden's, this gave theirs a run for the money!). Green beans were good, they had a pleasant sweetness that I can't put my finger on... The biscuits and corn muffins....oh lord, definitely homemade and I dont think I could pick one over the other! MIL says the roasted chicken was great too but I didn't try it. Overall we paid about $24 for 10 pieces of chicken (5 breast, 3 wings, 2 thighs) 2 large sides and 4 biscuits. Not bad if you ask me and very well worth the money! I look forward to my next visit and definitely won't wait so long to go back!

Went here for a late lunch for the first time. No greeting when I walked in, even though the place was dead. The staff seemed bored or almost slightly annoyed I was there. I ordered a spicy chicken wrap and it arrived in about 4 minutes. It was pretty large, but it was very bland. I was hoping for some chicken tenders or something to get a good crunch, but it was just cut up pieces of what looked like breast meat. It was all soft and ranch-dressing. Not a very interesting bite. All I ever tasted was cheese, ranch and chicken. The lettuce and tomato was an after thought and was so sparse it was laughable they even remembered to include it. The "spicy" part of the "spicy chicken wrap" was just bottled hot sauce they put on -- which just tasted like vinegar. All in all, I am unimpressed. Perhaps I should've been wiser and gotten the fried chicken since it seems to be their specialty. If their fried chicken is that great, then they should just take the other stuff off the menu. That wrap included.

I LOVE their cornbread! I enjoy their regular fried chicken as well as their bbq chicken. I usually get the baked beans and stuffing. The green beans are just o.k. They're quick and the staff is always friendly.

A bad review of Cajun Joe's are you kidding me? This place is fantastic and not crazy overpriced for BBQ. Love the cornbread, love the BBQ, they even have Southern Sweet Tea. I live in Los Angeles and when I visit Ann Arbor for business twice a year. I come here. Seriously, I love this place.

Wow...what a disappointing experience. I must say that we didn't try the food due to lousy customer service. First off, right when we walked into the place, 2 young teens working at the place scurried in the back for some reason. We were left standing there waiting for someone to acknowledge our presence as we heard a bunch of people on the back talking. Finally a young teen girl came out with this unenthusiastic attitude as if we were wasting her time from whatever it was she was doing in the back. As I told her I wanted a meal, she stood there hand on hip like I was taking too much time deciding which pieces i wanted. My DH asked about the Mac and cheese and asked for a sample which he told me was watery and unusually salty. The mashed potatoes were instant potatoes according to the girl - not surprising as this is a fast food type joint. The girl had such an attitude about her that I really didn't want to go on with my order as did my DH. I'm not sure what is up with Brighton, but the only decent establishments we've been to with decent food and service have been the diners. Is the whole Brighton restaurant/food scene run by entitled, spoiled teens that don't give a crap about what they do since mommy and daddy pay for everything? It's a shame. I've lost hope in finding decent food here in my new home town.

We live in Brighton for 30 years and have visited Cajun Joes many, many times over that time. In the past year they have gone downhill more each time we have gone there. The worst was what will be my last one. The "Children" running the place are sullen, un-caring, and overall disrespectful. they are bothered because someone came in at 7:50 p.m. when they now close at 8:00 p.m. (Which is new). All the food had been put away and there was no hiding their collective disdain in having to serve us since they had to pull it out again. When we got home and began to eat everything was cold including the center of the chicken. This type of treatment makes one wonder what goes on in the kitchen where you can't see. We can't take that chance anymore.
