Those who know me would say I’m biased with my review but even with that being said, the service is always exceptional. Wait staff polite and attentive, bartenders friendly and fast, and management always goes out of their way to make sure your experience there has been excellent. Food is always up to par. Would recommend Bayou (Beth or Easton) to anyone who hasn’t been. Although, really, who hasn’t been there yet? Haha 

Business response:

Thank you for the amazing rating, Anthony! We are very pleased to hear about the excellent meal we were able to share with you! It is always our highest priority to provide a fun and satisfying experience for all of our guests. We hope you plan on visiting us again soon! Thanks again and have a fantastic day!
