I reserved a spot for a birthday party and catered 70lbs of crawfish and it was delicious didn't have any to take home

Please come get y'all crawfish from Andy's crawfish. I came all the way from Florida for this. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!!! Literally so delicious I don't wanna eat crawfish from nowhere else. read more

Truly a quintessential New Orleans spot, Nothing captures the vibe better than a Friday afternoon at Bayou Beer Garden in Mid-City--perfect weather, wonderful music humming in the background, friendly chatter all around, and that irresistible aroma of freshly boiled crawfish wafting through the air. This place is fantastic whether you're popping in for after-work drinks, or even a platter of their seasonal crawfish (often cash only from the vendor, around $19 per box with fixings--check their Instagram for updates). a solid menu of bites like poppers, crab cakes, fries, and burgers, plus that expansive outdoor seating connected to Bayou Wine Garden, it's an ideal hangout to soak in the evening bliss of NOLA. The staff is typically kind and efficient, handling the packed crowds with ease despite all the requests. Give it a try--whether you're a local or a tourist, you'll feel right at home by the bayou. Highly recommend read more

Stopped in for a quick beer. They have some on draft, as well as bottles and cans. It was very hot and humid outside, but inside the bar was perfect. Quick and friendly service. read more

The perfect post-work wind down. Now that crawfish season is here (18-22$ now ish a plate, I love grabbing a tray, a cold beer, and catching the game with the fellas. The recent expansions have made it even better for boils, but fair warning--it gets crowded fast because the outdoor vibe is so good! Great beer list (taps, bottles, and cans) and surprisingly good margaritas, too. It's the kind of spot you love and hate at the same time just because it's so popular. If you're lucky enough to find a seat during crawfish time, you're in for a treat. read more

I been coming here for years. Today I was told automatically gratuity of 18% on every order. Even if you get one drink. I guess my BBG days are over because ain't no way a $13 drink just cost me $18. Now I won't get another and won't buy food because they take all your money on just one drink. I am really starting to dislike the new Gentrified New Orleans. read more

This place has been on my list for a while and I'm glad to have finally been able to come here. I came here with my friend and we sat inside where the bar is. The menus are on QR codes at every table. I ordered the nachos and my friend had the garlic fries and grilled artichoke. She enjoyed her food. The nachos...chef's kiss! They were loaded just right with tons of cheese I also ordered a blueberry lemonade drop my friend had the frozen watermelon margarita We're planning on going back to try the crawfish. We decided to walk around and it's bigger than expected. They have tons of chairs and some oversized games to play as well. It was a real chill vibe and a great place to get good drinks and good food. read more

Nice spot for good drinks and food. I frequent this place during crawfish season and it's always packed, which says a lot. It's a great place to watch the game, with plenty of seating options, you can sit inside or outside at the bar, and there are several bars to choose from. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's right in the middle of a neighborhood, but it's always a good time at Bayou Beer Garden. . read more

What can I say? I love this place. $19 crawfish plates make me happy. They're done well. This season there hasn't been a line and the weather has been nice so the outdoor seating has been great. This place is a go to for my coworkers and I to enjoy crawfish and decompress. I've tried several other menu items including the nachos and tacos but still prefer to just order the crab rangoon dip. They've simply gotten my French 75 with cognac plus a shot of Grand Marnier on the side down to perfection. If I return isn't of question. It's more or less a matter of when. read more

Huge area with many choices for drinks and a good selection of food. Although on the pricier side for food, the burger I ordered was delicious, definitely would've gotten it with fries. They had a crawfish pop up that was selling real fast. Lots of seating and fast service. read more

Bayou Beer Garden - The BBG Burger - Beer Gardens Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Bayou Beer & Wine Garden in Mid-City -- right off the Lafitte Greenway -- is one of my absolute favorite spots! It's the perfect venue to enjoy a delicious craft beer paired with light snacks and appetizers. They have an awesome outdoor section that's ideal for large groups, events, or just hanging out with friends. I love the outdoor games and the relaxed vibe -- especially during the spring and summer months when they run their weekend crawfish specials. The beer selection is excellent with a wide variety of options, and the connected Bayou Wine Garden gives you even more choices. Happy hour here is truly one of the best in the city! My personal favorites: the naked wings and the Caesar salad -- always delicious. There's plenty of seating, great energy, and it's consistently a fun, easygoing spot to grab a drink, enjoy good food, and connect with friends. Service is great at both venues. A must-visit Mid-City hangout! read more

This is definitely the spot to be. You can sit indoors or outside. Crawfish is sold during certain hours but it's cash only. I tried the frozen watermelon margarita and it got me right. I also had the grilled artichokes and fries. Everyone was friendly. They have a good mixed crowd. The only negative is the lack of parking. read more

First time trying crawfish in NOLA and it did not disappoint! The crawfish were super meaty and bursting with flavor. Drinks were solid too. Heads up--it's cash only (for crawfish). The spot is spacious with friendly staff and good vibes, though the outdoor benches can fill up pretty quickly. Definitely worth a visit! Attached my video for you read more

I always hear people say this place has pretty good crawfish, so I deciding to bring a visiting friend there for lunch. While they do have a parking lot it was full once we got there so we had to find street parking about 2 streets over. There was a line for crawfish and we probably waited about 20 minutes to get the food. Crawfish plates come with corn, sausage, and potatoes for $19. They only take cash so make sure you have some. There was one lady who took your order and who put the corn, sausage, and potatoes in your plate. I can kind of be a germophobe and did not like that the gloves she handled the cash with were the same gloves she used to pick up with potatoes, sausage, and corn. Money is dirty and I cringed when I noticed she didn't use tongs to pick up the food. Besides that, I thought it was nice they provided gloves if you wanted them to peel the crawfish. Seating here is first come first serve and thankfully we were able to find a seat because it was packed. They started selling crawfish at 1:00 and we got there around 1:45. I'd definitely recommend trying to get there within the 1st hour or 2 because I heard they sell out early sometimes. Crawfish were a nice size and had a good flavor, but the potatoes didn't have any seasoning at all. I used the juice from the crawfish on my potatoes to give it some flavor. The mango daiquiri I had was good and sweet. It wasn't very strong but I'm not someone who needs a strong drink so I enjoyed it. My friend had the watermelon frozen drink and hers wasn't as sweet, but it was stronger. Overall I think this is a pretty cool place to go. I'll be back to try the food on their menu. read more

I'm so glad I found this on my last trip to New Orleans! Wish I had known about it my first time going!! We went during crawfish season and everyone was so nice! We tried one platter of crawfish between my boyfriend and I...we looked at each other and immediately knew we had to have a second! The vibe there is so cool, I love it!!! The drinks were great, everyone was nice. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Bayou Beer Garden - Yummyyyy - Beer Gardens Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The ambience is really cool. There are games available to play, lots of TVs for sports etc. we went on a summer night and there are lots of fans so it wasn't too hot. It's a large place where you sit yourself and you don't get a server, you order on a QR code on the table which kept things efficient. All of the food came really fast and was hot, clearly made to order. I especially enjoyed the catfish basket, the fish has a nice breading. The aïoli that it comes with is very flavorful. The fish and the fries were both extremely crunchy, which I loved. Overall, really great vibes here absolutely will be back. read more

anytime I come to New Orleans the Bayou beer garden is one of our stops along our way. The crawfish are nice and spicy and they are always super big and they don't skimp out and give you the little ones it comes with corn sausage and potato on the side.

A chill spot for drinks -- it's a few streets down from Parkway, so we strolled over after eating po' boys. There's a decent amount of seating indoors, but it was a bit hot to sit outside. There's affordable beer, and a pool table, great spot to hang out. The cigarette vending machine made me chuckle! read more

As for food I only ordered the fries this time, which were delicious. I sampled a crab and cream cheese sauce a personn from our group ordered for our table, which was also delicious Looking forward to returning.. read more

This review is ONLY for how the kitchen is handled. No longer can you order at the window and pay cash, you have to scan a code and order through an app that tacks on service fees and processing. A $15 burger came out to $22 and change after all the fees and tip tax etc. Not to mention someone doesn't have their hair in a hat or tucked as the burger and fries I ordered came out with a thick swath of hair wrapped around my fries. Cmon, BBG, I love yall but let's do better. Your "convenience" hurts the service industry folks that support you. read more

Bayou Bar is a cornerstone in the mid city neighborhood.. It's a place that all races creeds and genders and come and relax.. If you had a hard day at work this is the place with beer wine food and just a down right good time. This is a must go to if you come to mid-city New Orleans, LA. read more

If you're looking for a laid-back local spot with great vibes and even better food, Bayou Beer Garden is it! We grabbed a table outside--plenty of seating, shaded, and perfect for people-watching. The watermelon margaritas hit the spot--refreshing, not too sweet, and strong enough to let you know they weren't playing! Now let's talk about the trough of crawfish--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. It was a whole experience. The seasoning was just right, and they didn't skimp on the fixings. Felt like a real New Orleans backyard boil, just with table service and a killer drink menu. Great service, chill atmosphere, and a crowd that feels like locals just enjoying the day. Highly recommend if you want to eat like you're at a friend's house but with better cocktails. Will definitely be back! read more

Went with my coworkers as an outing and this place is super cute. I loved the variety between the beer and wine garden, the different variety of seating areas, bar areas. The crawfish was delicious and the portion was perfect for the price. The QR codes to order food was super convenient and helped avoid having to get separate checks and figure who ordered what. The carb Rangoon dip was simply delicious. The crispy chips were the perfect accompaniment. Great vibe. Great food and good drinks. read more

woah, this place has changed so much from what made us love it- so many televisions everywhere, music loud enough to not hear people next to you (& I even liked the genres, it was just too distracting) , & the nail on the coffin was an 18% auto-grat just turned a very greasy, too salty basket of parm fries (formerly a fave) & two small "go cups" of just ok daiquiri-style frozen drinks into nearly a $60 tab! We get that times are tough & inflation is real, but this mediocre expensive nonsense just felt disrespectful :( read more

While waiting for our table at a neighboring restaurant we popped into Bayou Beer Garden for a drink. The establishment has indoor and outdoor seating, service and action and we opted to pull up to the bar and have one of their specialty cocktails the bartender recommended which was a Strawberry 75 made with homemade house infused strawberry vodka and champagne....WINNER! We loved them! And the bartenders were awesome too! If we weren't waiting for a table at another restaurant we would've totally tried their food because the menu was filled with what sounded to be delicious bar fare ... but I guess we just have to come back :) read more

Let me start with the new renovation. The spot is night and day. They definitely upgraded the spot inside and out. They added extra TV's & speakers and upgraded the bathroom. As far as the food service you scan the QR code at the table or area you choose to sit inside & out & they'll bring your order to you. Now for the food I started with an appetizer. I ordered the crab dip it was very flavorful and the fried wontons for chips was not only aesthetically pleasing it provided a great crunch to grow along with the flavor of the crab dip. I would definitely order this again. As for the fish and chips the fries were seasoned perfectly and crispy the catfish was too. My only issue was the portion of fish vs the cost it was the equivalent of 3/4 of a filet. I wouldn't order that again due to the quantity of fish received. Overall the renovation looks great and the food was good. I will definitely return. read more

I cannot truly describe how special this place is, but I will try. It took me about a month to venture outside because Leigh (inside bartender) is the utmost magical being in all of the land, but once I broke away from her entrancing spell I discovered another new wonderland. A land of beer, wine and crawfish aplenty (thank you Andys!!) I always feel special walking in and getting a what's up from Wookie, Beau, Maya, and the crew. Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood bar. P.S. chicken Caesar salad wrap BABYYYY!!! read more
