The bar and cajun restaurant Voodoo Crab is planning to open a location in North Babylon at 1156 Deer Park Avenue in the Uncle Giuseppe’s shopping center. An application in with the Town of Babylon shows that the owners are seeking to make interior alterations to 4,330-square-foot space in the center to change the use from retail to a 120-seat bar/restaurant along with associated site improvements.
The owners told LongIsland.com that they opened their Cajun restaurant for a few reasons when they first opened their Massapequa spot. Like most Long Islanders, they are seafood lovers and they said that Cajun boil is a preparation technique that is classic American but evolving with added sauce choices.
“And it’s really a wonder why it has taken so long to come to Long Island since it is wildly popular in lots of metro areas all along the eastern I-95 corridor,” a spokesperson for the owners told Long Island.com in an email interview.
Some of their most unique and popular offerings include a Frozen Voodoo Juice – which, they say, no one can replicate.
“It immediately transports a lot of our patrons back to Bourbon Street, our customers repeatedly tell us!”
Voodoo Crab currently has three other locations on Long Island including one in Rockville Centre, Massapequa and Centereach. The restaurant brings the flavor and style of New Orleans to Long Island with cajun boils and other dishes reminiscent of The Big Easy, like blackened catfish, char-broiled oysters and their inspired apps like their popcorn shrimp and voodoo wings.
An opening date has not been set yet. We will update this story as more information comes available.
