- MSMauriel SelenNov 16, 20255.0I decided to get lunch at the bayou with my daughter and we had such a nice time. From the atmosphere, the tasty food, to the kind and hard working staff. Rachel, the manager, made sure to stop by and check on us. Its refreshing to see management so hands on.
- DMDanielle McCoyNov 16, 20252.0Worst service ever. Manager wandering around doing next to nothing. I watched her clear a salt shaker, walk away and then clear a menu. Meanwhile, we could see 8 plates of food waiting to be picked up in the kitchen. When I spoke with the manager, Rachel, she told me she was doing the food order. Unacceptable when the server needs help and its lunch time. Food finally came and it was cold. Ques, the only server, did an amazing job hustling between the bar and all of the tables. Entrees came out hot and were very good.
- SWSteven WattsNov 10, 20255.0If you're looking for good food at reasonable prices then look no further. The menu has something for everyone in your party and trust me you will not be disappointed. The Po' boy beef was an experience. Loved it!! Get your Bayou flow on and visit this spot when a plain meal just won't do!
- CMcarl montesanoNov 6, 20252.0Website advertises happy hour M-Th 3-6 so we decided to go on a Wednesday. We asked for happy hr menu. Bartender said they no longer have a happy hour and haven’t for months. Then update your website. I ordered the brisket po boy. Only thing good was the roll. What little Brisket was on the roll was very dried out and tough to chew. Brisket should be moist and tender must have been days old. For the price I expected a better meal and a good amount of meat on the sandwich My wife’s Cubano sandwich was much better. We have been here so many times over last few years and always had a great experience from food drinks and service don’t know if we will be back anytime soon
- ASAngelina SantiOct 26, 20251.0Ordered food online. When I got home found that instead of 2 orders of collard greens they gave me 2 orders of French fries as a sustitute because they had no collard greens. I didn't pay over $62 to eat French fries. They should have called to notify me. Tried to call to tell them of the mishap and no one answered the phone. Attempted several times to call. Had to drive all the way back to try and get my get my order right, and that is when I was told that they substituted fries for collard greens. Why did they assume that it is ok to substitute my $10 an order collard greens for fries? Who would pay $10 for an order of fries? They didnt even make the slightest attempt to provide a meal I paid for. Now let's see how long it takes for them to reimburse my money. Used to be one of my favorite restaurants. But they have been declining, and can't even get my husband to take me there for a date night because he doesn't like it. So I had to resort to ordering pick up just for myself. Waste of time and gas money.
