Boateng's Cajun Creations Restaurant will open on the South side near the railroad tracks on 19th Street in this building in mid-July.
The owner is interested and committed to keeping the historic nature of the building.
Many of us have been wishing for something to go into this historic former gas station. What better than a Cajun restaurant?
Boateng's was formerly at Watermark Place. Here are owners Carolyn and Graham Boateng.
Here's a review of their food when it was at Watermark.
Improvements are being done by Darden Contracting and Remodeling. I had a conversation with contractor Willie Darden. Willie sees great potential for downtown Bessemer, and has an eye for historic buildings and such. Between he and I, we had the south area of downtown made into a showcase. We can dream, can't we?
I can walk to this restaurant and really am looking forward to it opening. Who wants to go on opening night? Stay posted to Bessemer Opinions for the latest.

I missed this post earlier. This is great. I used to drive from Southside Birmingham to Watermark specifically for this place and have waiting for them to re-open. Best and most affordable cajun in the area. And its a really nice family restaurant too (Although I think this new location will require them to hire some people now).
Oh, and keep me updated, I do want to go on opening night.
Shia,
We missed opening night...but the restaurant is open now. Let me know when you go!
