Comfortable atmosphere, tastefully done. We shared the mac & cheese, shrimp and chicken gumbo, and pork ribs, which were all delicious! I also had a whiskey crush cocktail, served in a mason jar, (nice touch) and I highly recommend trying one of these refreshing & tasty drinks. From the moment you walk in ,your greeted and served with smiles...there's a great vibe down at The Bayou. We'll definitely return!

Had a Great Experience at the Bayou Tonight. Food, Service and the Atmosphere was awesome. I highly suggest the Hurricane as a Drink and the Dusted Fried Chicken. The Sweet Potatoes were incredible. Its a HIT from some one who knows the business. Go Check it Out. Best of Luck Cristian, Mo and my Man - Jerry Straub. 3 Great People !!
