Franklin's Backyard Bayou

Atmosphere: Upon entering, you could just tell it was just a great place to be at. So many groups of people, all just having a good time with each others presence and enjoying the great food. Same could be said about going to the outside portion of the establishment. Service: Seeing that it was swamped, I was worried that getting great service would be hard to achieve, but that was not the case. From the moment I entered, the server was able to provide recommendations as well as answering questions about the menu. Once I got my meal, their staff was helpful in picking upany empty trays, and doing their best to keep the establishment clean and customer happy. Quality: Starting from the appetizer and leading into the entree, the food started amazing and only continued to get better. The bo

Pretty good. Got the Big Mama and added a Dungeness Crab cluster, extra spicy. Had a slight kick. Wished it was a little more spicy, but it was good. I’m from Lafayette, Louisiana…Cajun Country…so don’t judge my taste buds. Crabs didn’t have much flavor, but the next day once it had soaked up some of the flavor and seasonings from the shrimp, they were very tasty! Shrimp had a really good flavor! They were not too salty, like at Fiery Crab, where they confuse spice with extra salt. Some of the shrimp were a little harder to peel, but I didn’t care. I’m so happy I opted for the pound instead of the half pound. Not a big fan of the butter flavored oil. Fresh garlic and some melted butter would set this place off on the seafood side! However, the boiled shrimp with the remoulade sauce is a

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It's a weekly trip for me and my friends. Their crawfish are the absolute best and always seasoned perfectly. The fried seafood and steaks are the best around. Great customer service and atmosphere. Michael, the owner, personally visits with his customers at their table and is always about making their experience the best it can be. I recommend this place on a daily basis.

First time experience. Unfortunately, my meal was not enjoyable. The crab legs was served with visible dark growths on the shell (see photo), which was extremely off-putting and concerning. While I understand seafood can have natural imperfections, this should have been removed before serving. I was unable to eat it and it ruined the experience.

First time to this place and was not disappointed. They have a nice variety of things on the menu but the thing we got was boil in a bag. Shrimp ,potatoes ,corn, Sniw crab clusters. To me a lil pricey but we'll worth it.
