The Bayou Cajun Smokehouse

I am here in town for a while and this place was recommended to me! Wowwwwww!!! The food is absolutely amazing!! The gumbo is delicious along with the red beans and rice-truly authentic! The atmosphere feels like you are right at home in your living room-it is the local spot! And the Thursday night bingo is a BLAST!!! If you are looking to just get out you must come! You will not be disappointed! The girls behind the bar are the best and they treat you like family! Do not miss out if you are visiting Jackson! :-)

The absolute perfection in literally ALL OF IT !!!!!! Here is the pork steak about 1.5 lb lol, and the gumbo. It is perfection

We were skeptical at first. A bar in the middle of nowhere. Don't let that fool you! We had smokehouse tatties for an appet, and they were so amazing! My husband had Cajun seafood alfredo, and garlic bread. He loved it. I tasted it. Mommy I had pulled pork plate with lime beans /andoulli sausage, fried corn, and garlic toast.Everything was delicious, right down to the garlic toast. We would definitely come back. Quiet calm, country folks having a beer atmosphere. Nothing rowdy, no blaring music just good food, good service, and a lovely supper. Thank you!

This amazing family owned restaurant is a VERY hidden treasure located 3 mi E of exit 111 in Pocahontas, MO. Everything we’ve had there has been perfectly prepared and full of flavor, especially our favorite dish…coconut shrimp (so good it blows Red Lobster’s coconut shrimp out of the water!). Other dishes not to

We have eaten here in the past and it was delicious, so we decided to bring family from out of town to show them what it's all about. They were not disappointed! We had the Smokehouse Tatties to start, then on the the BBQ platter, Coconut Shrimp, and Gumbo. So much flavor and the portions are ridiculously large! If you're in Cape Girardeau or the surrounding area, it's definitely worth the drive to Pocahontas. Google Maps will sometimes take you in the wrong direction. It's worth searching out this place. The Pilot House, Port Cape, and all the other BBQ places in Cape are definitely delicious, but this place has a different take on BBQ and other dishes. They also have an outdoor pavilion and live music weekly. We'll definitely be back!
