Love ❤️ the Bayou. Food was excellent as always. I had the Shrimp Po Boy and my husband had the Fried Butter Milk Chicken. Appetizer was some yummy corn bread. Jalepeno Margaritas for drinks. We ate outside on their lovely patio. This is truly one of our favorite restaurants. 

Business response:

Serving our guests only the most exceptional cuisine is something we take very seriously and we couldn't be happier that you had such a positive dining experience. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a lovely day!

It was good and had a nice atmosphere but my chicken wasn’t fully done. They did make it right and took really good care of us afterwards so I highly recommend this place and will come back for another date night.
