We've visited New Orleans several times and fell in love with the food there. We were not disappointed with The Bayou, everything was flavorful and delicious! Portion sizes don't compare to what you'll get in the South, but prices are extremely fair and they make up for it with the excellent flavors and beautiful presentation! Drinks were delicious, staff was courteous and timely, we can't wait to go back!

We went to the Bayou for lunch and the place is very inviting. The service was great, but the place wasn't very busy. We had the gumbo and it was delicious. My husband had the jambalaya. He thought it was great but the portion size was small. I had the grits with shrimp which I thought was amazing!! The drink we're pretty good too. We will be visiting again!! Soon I hope 😋

The nachos awesome, hush puppies yummy, drinks awesome, Mac n cheese ok, fried chicken ehhh. Chicken overly priced, especially with just one side. Service was excellent.
