  French onion, run away worst soup ever only good thing was the cheese. Over priced salt bowl. French onion should never be that dark. Had more bread in soup than onions. Trust me my review matters I am a chef cooking for over 30 plus years. Watch some videos from emeril

  We love the atmosphere, but not a great fit for large groups. They weren’t able to sit us until 45 minutes after our reservation. We had made the reservation almost 2 weeks prior. By the time we had our entrees, it was 2 full hours after our original reservation and the food wasn’t hot. Disappointing, but the staff was working very hard. They seemed to be short-handed. Not sure we would return with a large group.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience at The Bayou! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We started with the cornbread with honey butter — so flavorful. Then we had the cast-iron pierogies topped with lump crab and lobster in cognac butter. Hands down, the best pierogies I’ve ever had in my life! Between the three of us (my mom, my best friend, and me), we shared the Nashville hot chicken mac & cheese, the chicken and waffle sandwich, the sweet mash casserole, and the jalapeño grits. Every single dish was incredible. And to finish, the beignets were perfection. Truly 10/10. To make our experience even better, our waitress Ques, was phenomenal and a breath of fresh air. She was knowledgeable, personable, funny, and made us feel so welcome. She guided my mom around the spicier dishes and recommended her personal favorites, and every time she came to our table, we couldn’t help but smile. The food, the service, the atmosphere — everything about The Bayou was amazing. The music they played went with the vibe of the whole place. We’re traveling from Delaware and staying overnight to see a show close by, and the front desk recommended this restaurant. We’re already planning our next visit just to come back to eat. Highly, highly recommend!

  If you’re even thinking about trying The Bayou… just go. Trust me. We kicked things off with warm cornbread and honey butter that should honestly be illegal. Golden, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Then came the cast iron pierogis topped with lump crab meat and a rich cognac butter and lime crema sauce savory, indulgent, and absolutely unforgettable. The chicken and waffle sandwich? Chef’s kiss. Crispy, juicy, sweet, savory… every bite melted in my mouth with the bacon jam and maple aioli. And the jalapeño grits? OMG. Creamy with just the right kick I would drive back for those alone. The Nashville mac and cheese brought a little heat in the best way, and the sweet mash potatoes with brûléed marshmallow fluff were basically dessert disguised as a side dish. We’re currently waiting on beignets and I’m about to explode… but they must be eaten hot and fresh, so sacrifices will be made. It’s a bit of a hike (we are from out of state) but completely worth it for an epic date night. And whatever you do, ask for Ques! She is delightful, energetic, and helped us navigate every decision and somehow each dish topped the one before it. 10/10. No notes. We’ll absolutely be back.
