The Bayou

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 guide

The restaurant is a cozy, rustic-chic atmosphere that provides great vibes and a casual dining experience. The staff was pleasant, professional, attentive and welcoming. The exceptional Southern comfort was beyond delicious with generous portions. The starters of cast iron pieroges with crabmeat and cornbread with honey butter is with the top alone. The Jambalaya, Nashville Mac & Cheese, Nashville hot honey fried chicken and side sweet mash was delightful. A definite return visit.

Just last year I was in New Orleans and craving good southern cooking. Finally the wait was over, and boy did I find the place that reminded me so much of there right in my own backyard! The Bayou is an amazing New Orleans southern style restaurant with even the cook New Orleans trained. The general manager, Rachel is incredible with her kind spirit and makes you feel like Family from the second you walk in and even though there are plenty of waitresses, she will still go above and beyond just to make sure you are happy with everything and gets you everything just the way you like it. After trying a catfish Po sandwich, brisket po sandwich, jambalaya, cornbread (which I have a picture of 1 slice!!), and of course for desserts if you’re gonna do Southern, you better get the beignets and bre

Atmosphere and ambiance were great. Food took a little longer than expected to come out. We got the chicken & waffles, jumbolaya, hush puppies, & the cauliflower bites. The chicken was bland, waffles were fine and the hush puppies were not burnt, but they were “extra well done.” They were too crispy for us to enjoy it. Everything else was fine. Will try other entrees next time. Waiter was great, atmosphere was great.

My wife and I wound up a Bayou because our first two choices were closed due to the new year holiday. This was our first time here. We were greeted quickly and were seated immediately. The atmosphere is very cozy and has that southern feel as the name implies. Our waitress (Ques) was absolutely fabulous! She gave us suggestions on menu items and took our drink orders. I had a blue Bayou (delish) and my wife had the voodoo juice (also wonderful). Our appetizer was fried green tomatoes that were amazing. The two entrees were crispy catfish for myself and the spare ribs for the wife. Sides were collard greens, dirty rice, corn bread and hoppin John’s. I have to say, everything came out in a timely manner and was absolutely awesome! We couldn’t say enough how glad we were to wind up here by ch
