The Rajun Cajun is a venerable North End eatery housed in a vintage dining-car-style diner. An old-school vibe infuses the place. Though billed primarily as a Cajun restaurant, the Rajun Cajun might just as reasonably advertise that it serves all-around southern cooking, considering the limited number of restaurants in the area that can legitimately make that claim. Where else around here can you get sides of collard greens (not canned), mac and cheese, and candied yams?
