  Cajun Kate's is one of my favorite places in Booth's! If you go a bit later in the night (especially Saturdays, the crowd is there earlier that day) there's no line and you can usually snag a seat.
  
  The food is legit. I've had the jambalaya and the catfish fingers and while the jambalaya is delicious, I LOVE the catfish fingers. They come out super crispy and flavorful and I can't seem to make my way to other parts of the menu. My fiance raves about the po boys (he's had both oyster and the soft shell crab po boys), and he's a tough critic! To top it off, if you manage to grab a seat, you're always bound to have good conversations with the workers. They're all really nice, the service is great!

  3 stars for the friendly staff and prompt food service.
  I got the beignets and my mother took home the jambalaya. I'm used to light, puffy and fluffy beignets and these left more to be desired. The taste reminded me of a sugar-free coffee roll - mostly just cinnamon and pretty dull. My mom seemed to like them though.
  On the other hand, she didn't like the jambalaya (and she's from the south). When she heated it up the house smelled of old hot dogs. She took a couple of bites and threw the rest away.
  
  Won't be returning, but our experience was okay.

  Cajun Kate's is still the only place I've found in the tristate area to get a correct po'boy. I've never been disappointed with the ones here whether it's catfish or shrimp. They also have gator and sometimes oysters.
  
  They will adjust the spice level if you ask. I always get mine extra spicy. It has so much flavor! You wouldn't think it, but these bad boys travel well. It's a good thing because the seating here is limited to six barstools and it stays crowded. You most likely will need to eat it in the parking lot or take it home. It's not a a problem though! Don't forget they are cash only, but there is an ATM in the market.
  
  My only complaint is the price. It's now $16 for a full size sandwich. The quality is good though, so for a treat every now and then, it's worth it. The half size would be more filling if it came with a little side or something.
  
  The only other menu item I've tried is the Mac and Cheese. The flavors rotate out. I love the crab and corn. They deep fry the mac and cheese, and it is a crispy masterpiece filled with decadent gooey cheesy goodness. If they have a Mac and cheese flavor you like on the day of your visit, I recommend getting a big po'boy and one mac and cheese and splitting them with a friend. It's quite a treat!

  Cajun Kate's is a gem in the rough! Nestled in the chaos of Booth's Corner, Kate's has a small counter with only 5 stools. We normally luck out and snag 2, but often have people waiting to sit down behind us. Many of the items are easy to order to go and you can walk around while eating. We always order the jambalaya and gator sausage. Her food is amazing and full of flavor. If you're visiting booth's corner definitely stop by!

  Absolutely love this place! I have been to both locations and they never disappoint in quality or service. Although, I will probably only go to the Booth's Market one again if I were taking it to go, as it is a small stand with only 4 barstool seats.
  
  The food is amazing! There is no other place that compares to the flavor and quality of Cajun Kate's that I have found in the Philly area-- and I have tried a lot.
  
  You cannot go wrong with ordering because everything is delicious and fresh. The po'boy sandwiches are widely popular. However, I am a die-hard fan of their jambalaya. It is chock full of andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp. BEST jambalaya Ive ever tasted!!! Also, you cannot go wrong with their fresh, hot beignets. They are soft, classic, and delicious. Cannot rave about them enough.
