Parking here is a challenge unless you go during unpopular times.
Their beer menu is insane, it's just missing additional l information such as alcohol percentage and IBUs, etc.
The blackened salmon fish sandwich was okay and the Cajun chicken sandwich was tough and chewy.
The mix of sweet potato fries and regular fries with the fry sauce were good.
The beer however, was the best thing there.
We just happened onto this amazing restaurant. We are from Texas so was a bit apprehensive about eating Cajun food away from home. Well after first bite we were amazed. The food was really good and authentic. Wendy our server was very attentive and made some really good recommendations. However for me the dessert was the hit. Had fried Twinkies with raspberry sauce and ice cream. Yum Yum 😋
The Bayou never disappoints! One of our favorite places to eat. The deep-fried Cornish game hen is to absolutely delicious and filled with flavor. The service is always great, too. Our server had extensive knowledge of the menu and beer list and recommended us a few great beers with dinner, too.
What a gem! Incredible food. And Incredible staff! We tried the alligator cheesecake and it was really delicious! The Cajun Alfredo with blackened shrimp was unbelievable! Definitely go here if you are considering it. Get all the things!
Some of the best shrimp to be found in Salt Lake City. I usually get the shrimp po-boy or if I order something else, I get the popcorn shrimp as an appetizer. It is always a good crispy taste. The pasta and pizza here are stellar as well.
The service is good and the restaurant is a local favorite of mine to visit. The atmosphere is a little flamboyant, but this is common culture in downtown Salt Lake City.

Everyone has been talking about The Bayou Restaurant for years now & I finally went with a friend! I loved the vibes here! It was very low key, not what I was expecting but I loved it! They have something ridiculous like 400 different beers to try. I had a Mountain West Sweet Alice cider. This is one of my favorites & when I see restaurants have it, I usually order it. My friend ordered an Arnold Palmer drink. He loved it! We ordered chips & salsa to start with. The chips were okay, but we both really liked the salsa. It looked & tasted very homemade. We shared a plate of the mixed sweet potato & regular fries. I ordered the Fettuccine Kileene. It was pretty good! I always forget that Alfredo sauce never saves well for leftovers. I really liked the artichokes in this gosh. The Alfredo sauce had really good flavor. Next time I want to try the pizzas! My friend Was torn with ordering jambalaya & the gumbo. They have a dish named Gumbolaya that he ended up ordering. The best of both worlds! He added shrimp to it & he loved it so much!! Spice levels were on point. Said it was by far his favorite restaurant we’ve been to. He can’t wait to go back! Meals are very large in size, we weren’t prepared when we ordered appetizers. This place was really good! I loved the vibes, staff was great & super helpful with recommendations! L
Insanely good food, amazing service, and great atmosphere. If you're looking for NOLA classics this is the best spot in Utah. They also have a huge selection of on tap beers and non-alcoholic options. We got the Gumbo and Gumbalaya and a non-alcoholic prosecco. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong.
First time trying Jambalaya. It was good. Tried popcorn shrimp, 50/50 fries, chickpeas and broccoli and cheddar soup
Ahhhhhmazing!!!! Every time we go here the food is 100% on point!! There are so many different drinks to try you would not believe it!! The black and tan is always a beautiful thing to look at, as well as drink. The crawfish étoufeé is incredible, as is the Bayou pasta!! The service is fast and friendly, there is free parking on the side of the building and the experience just must be, well, experienced!!
Best deal in downtown Salt Lake City. Reasonable prices including salads or soups.
Cajun and non Cajun choices. Pork tenderloin was the favorite. Salmon, catfish and crawfish were very good. Avoid the gumbo: bad recipe and salty rather than Cajun
Excellent atmosphere and Nic was helpful in choosing from the large beer selection.
