Cajun restaurant closes Birmingham area location, plans to relocate

A popular Birmingham area Cajun-themed restaurant has closed one of its locations, but plans to reopen in the region soon.

Cajun Steamer’s Cahaba Heights restaurant, located at 3151 Green Valley Rd. in the Market Square Shopping Center, has closed.

A sign at the former location reads that it was a “bittersweet decision.”

“This isn’t goodbye – it’s ‘see you soon’ as we plan to bring the flavor, fun and hospitality you love to a new and improved location in the Birmingham area,” the sign states.

Cajun Steamer did not mention in the statement where the new location would be.

The Cahaba Heights restaurant opened in May 2022.

The company still has locations in Hoover, Trussville, Huntsville and Hendersonville, Murfreesboro and Franklin, Tenn.

Cajun Steamer offers Louisiana-style boils with Louisiana crawfish, char-grilled oysters and Gulf shrimp, as well as dishes such as crawfish etouffee, shrimp and grits, red beans and rice and beignets.
