About Us
Natives of Louisiana, the Donovan Family seeks to bring their family's recipes from the Bayou to the Deep South. Featuring Cajun classics such as red beans and rice, oysters and crawfish, Cajun Boys & Our Poboys has something for the entire family.
From the purple, gold and green decorations to the smell of beignets frying in the back, this restaurant has everything someone would expect to find in the French Quarter. And that’s exactly what the Donavon family wanted to deliver to the local community. “It’s always been a passion of mine. I’m from New Orleans, and I wanted to open a restaurant of our own one day,” Jack Donavon says. “I wanted to bring a little bit of New Orleans to Birmingham.” His wife, Michelle, grew up in Natchez, Miss., so she was also surrounded by fresh seafood. The couple moved to Alabama from New Orleans 18 years ago and now live in Chelsea with their three children: Jack Jr., Ashleigh, and Carson.
So to get back to their home roots, they decided to create a taste of home in Shelby County with Cajun Boys & Our Poboys, located in Pelham on Highway 52 W.
We are located along 3120 Hwy 52 W, Pelham, AL 35124

1/2 alligator sausage and chicken & sausage gumbo was AMAZING. The gator wasn't super spicy by itself and you could get the flavor of the meat. ONE OF THE BEST GUMBOS IVE EVER HAD!!!! oh yeah, the server was super friendly and food was out Pronto. Definitely recommend!!!!

Very good! Authentic Po'boy. I had the fried oyster sandwich and it was amazing. Highly recommend this place, but I will tell you that it is fresh seafood so the prices reflect that. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Met some friends there tonight for dinner, it was amazing! Had the raw oysters and a Cajun Blossom for appetizers... highly recommend both. Muffaletta and Yaya gumbo was on point...as was the service! We will definitely be back....

Has been awesome every time. Everything is always cooked properly and seasoned well. Be sure to add on the gumbo as well, it is authentic and delicious! Nice laid back place to stop in after work for a decent drink and awesome dinner! The manager is always super nice and helpful too. A+

We had a large crowd of 13 and we had a great experience. Service was great, food was delicious and the atmosphere was layed back and relaxed. The shrimp basket with fries and hushpuppies was delicious, my Mother had the Muffaletta which was amazing!
