Matt Weaver and Gina Nastasee did an awesome job setting up our Team Office Party! The food was delicious and service was awesome. Thanks to The Bayou for making our night special! If you haven’t been there, go enjoy a casual night with friends in a warm atmosphere. Craig Liles

OH MY GOD the fried chicken is amazing! Just ordered the spicy chicken and sweet potato and it was so amazing. I was craving the bayou for years and since I live a bit away hadn’t had the chance to come. The food was just as amazing this time as it was before.
