Fantastic service, friendly atmosphere. We had the seafood dip appetizer which was like a classic newberg with shrimp and crawfish with fried wontons, the seafood fettuccine, and the shrimp and grits which were AMAZING. The bartender had an excellent heavy pour on the mixed drinks, as well. Our server was top notch and the chef came out every so often to check on everyone. The best meal we had in New Orleans.
The Food was amazing not to mention the staff makes you feel like family! We had the pleasure of meeting the chefs! A++++++ I recommend anyone that’s traveling here or that lives here to run fast and check this place out!!! The ambience was to perfection along with everything else!
One of the most authentic, down to earth places that you could visit for both good food and good company! Will, our server is a warm, kind-hearted and lively individual that will not bs or oversell you on anything. He recommended us the gumbo, seafood fettuccine, and our new favourite drink— the Bayou Splash. Wish we took better photos because they really don’t do the place any justice!! Got to meet Lewis the chef there as well, he’s the man behind all the DELICIOUS food. My partner and I have been all over the French Quarter, Garden district and other touristy areas and this family-oriented place is so much more worth your $$.
Thank you Will, Bruce and Lewis for a great first experience in New Orleans, we will be back for sure.
Very pleasant, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent. I had the shrimp and grits and it was by far the best I’ve ever had. My daughter had Cajun shrimp pasta and it was also excellent. We will definitely make this place a must stop through on our next visit to NOLA 🤌🏽❤️✌🏿
This place is ABSOLUTELY a must visit when in New Orleans. Melissa, our waitress was so sweet and the service overall was the best we’ve experienced in the city so far. And the food…. I don’t have the words… JUST GO TRY IT! Really authentic and soulful stuff, great small business that deserves your money!
I received a sample of seafood gumbo and crawfish bisque. It was good. This place is nowhere near as crowded as the creole restauraunt next door, but the food is definitly good. The redfish Ponchatrain aas delicious and the crab cakes has a crawfish decoration between them. Still sucked the head of course, but the food was good. I ate slowly and enjoyed it
Very good fried chicken! One of my favorite spots for fried chicken in NOLA. The staff were all extremely nice and I also really liked the BBQ shrimp appetizer.
Great food! We enjoyed everything we had. The crayfish bisque is to DIE FOR. "Slap your mama good" to quote our server, Alvin. He was charming, funny, and gave us great recommendations. He also kindly taught me how to eat the boiled crayfish we ordered! (We were visiting the city and state from Ontario). He was upfront about the fact that there was a very large party inside and not enough servers, so things might be a bit slow which we appreciated. When we went inside to pay the other servers were very attentive, always asking me if I needed anything or if I'd been helped yet while I waited for my friend to come back with his wallet he'd forgotten at home. Still dreaming about that bisque and seafood dip, definitely coming back if I have the chance!
Bayou Bistro is absolutely wonderful. The food is made with love. We were so impressed with the staff. Our waiter was so helpful and we even met the owner and chef. Check them out!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
Nice ladies behind the bar! They were real busy when we came (during Mardi Gras) so food took a little bit but it was worth it! Great seafood dip.
Removed 2 stars because we ordered 2 bloody marys and 1 beer, but were given 3 bloody marys. They then got the beer and told my sister to drink the 3rd and still charged us for the 3rd even though it was their mistake and we didn't order it and would not remove it - that was a little frustrating.
Best BBQ shrimp in town, but don't tell the uptown folks that! The crawfish bisque was fantastic y'all. The seafood cheese dip was delicious too. Found a new gem in midcity! Service was good as well, thanks for letting me hang out!
Food was absolutely delicious! We had the fried oysters and the shrimp fettuccine, so good! Will, our server was delightful, so friendly and attentive and gave us excellent recommendations, made us feel right at home! 10/10 will come back.
