First time here....Fantastic Pulled Pork Sandwich. The pork, Apple slaw & pickled shallots melt on your tongue. My first of many. Cannot wait to eat my way through the menu. Great staff & ambiance welcome you. Luck to have "The Bayou" here in Bethlehem.

Had the pleasure of eating here yesterday and I love everything about this place! The staff is super friendly!! The hush puppies & gumbo were authentic and delicious. I had the fried oyster po boy for my lunch and thought it was fabulous. The Apple Barrel is a must have drink, although you gotta be careful since that moonshine will get ya. ;-)

Feels like home from the minute you walk in! New Orleans flare to all of the food, creative drinks and a staff that treats you like family from the minute you walk in!

We arrived and there was no hostess at either door… so weird! Also, ran out of high chairs - Gahhhh! But the food and cocktails were yummy. We will be back for more visits!

An impromptu date night with some friends had landed us at The Bayou. I was beyond impressed. The beer selection was incredible, their signature cocktails were even better. Food was delicious. (I had Ty's Mac-n-Cheese and the sweet potato burlee.. Both to die for.) The staff was amazing and it was so nice to see the familiar faces. For being open not even a week, there were hardly any "kinks" from an outsiders prospective. As a fellow bartender, and working in the industry for over 15 years, I would pick this place over most... read more
