Bayou On Bay

Had dinner here and couldn't be happier. All the food was cooked great. The special pork chop was awesome. Hush puppies weren't burned or undercooked. All in all, I will definitely go again. Wait staff was on point, and the wait time for our food was very quick, but not so fast that we couldn't enjoy appetizers.

After striking out at three places down the street, because they either required proof of vaccination cards (which was news to us) or the outdoor seating was a 90+ minute wait, we (5 guys) stumbled across this place which sat us immediately outside. We were skeptical as they weren’t full, but man am I glad we ended up here. The waitress, while managing the outdoor area of 10+ tables all to herself was clearly busy, she made sure we always had drinks and we didn’t wait longer than normal to order. She had a great attitude and was friendly too! The food though…so. Dang. Good. The frog legs are a must try. Juicy, tender, and great spice. Some of the best frog legs I’ve had since Louisiana. I had the shrimp and grits. It was soupier than traditional, but I didn’t mind because the flavor was outstanding. Garlicky, spicy, cheesy, and so much depth. The shrimp was well cooked and everything worked so well together. Am so glad we ended up stumbling into this place and not the other over hyped places down the street. Big recommendation from me.

Delicious food and great service! I had the blackened rockfish with red beans and rice, and my partner has the jambalaya. This was my first time trying rockfish and it was delicious -- the seasoning was amazing and it was very well cooked. The red beans and rice were great, too, and the cornbread was so tasty!! My partner's jambalaya was great as well and had a very generous amount of shrimp in it!!

The food was delicious. We made it to Bayou as it was transitioning from brunch to dinner on a saturday afternoon. It wasn't too busy and they are following covid-19 protocols, confirming vaccination status. Our table sampled the margaritas and pina coladas. Both were strong and yummy. We also ordered the happy hour oyster shooters, we customized ours with no cocktail sauce and requested extra lemons and salt. For the main course we ordered the jambalaya and gumbo with a side of macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was amazing, so many flavors just bursting in every bite. The jambalaya was just as delicious. I couldn't even put a dent in it. I had to take half of it home and it was still yummy. The atmosphere is light and casual. Only complaint would have to be that we had to flag down our server a few times, but other than that it was a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely come back for the food since we came from out of state.

The best place for brunch when you are looking to get all the foods you want to help you get over that headache from last night. Just all the condor you need in one little plate, with an added helping of wonderful service from the best people. Also always get their cornbread and honey butter. And always get their mac. The stars of their menu, when everything on their menu is already such a star.
