Cajun Yard Dog

Great Cajun Food. Made Fresh Daily. Family Friendly. Terrific Staff. Go early because they do fill up. South Charlotte In the Arboretum, between Michaels and Walmart. The best compliment diners can bestow upon Ron Atherton, owner of Cajun Yard Dog, is that the food he serves up in his Arboretum Shopping Center restaurant “tastes like how they grew up.” With over 35 varieties of hot sauce, many staples like jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, red beans and rice, and the best fried chicken in Charlotte, Atherton strives to offer patrons “authentic food at an inexpensive price.” Folks who grew up in and around Louisiana come in with a certain expectation that the food will ring true as the restaurant’s name, Cajun Yard Dog, and they do not leave disappointed.
