    Blue Water Bayou

    You order at the counter from selections on chalkboards, and then find a seat and wait. This is not fast food, but the wait time is not too long, and the food is worth the short wait. The restaurant is clean and the decor is cute. I had the gumbo, which had a rich, dark roux and plenty of chicken, tender shrimp, and sausage. I like potato salad with gumbo- it helps cool it down- and theirs was very, very good. My husband got the chicken fried chicken and was very pleased with it, but the star of his plate was the pinto beans. The chef (because he's that much better than a cook) is not afraid of seasoning, but does a balanced job-not too little, not too much. This is elevated home cooking/ soul food. The portions are generous, a cornbread muffin comes with your entree, but most importantly, the food is delicious. My only regret is that we didn't have room for dessert. 10/10 would recommend.

    20 minutes before closing, Thursday. He said the dining room was closed, but I could sit and dine from a Togo box. Pork tips over rice: outstanding! Possibly the best I've ever had. The greens had a (Caribbean) spice that made them wonderful. The beans had a different spice and they were wonderful. Highly recommend.

    THE BEST RESTAURANT I've ever been to in my life! Sure I've been to many fancy restaurants internationally including Michelin places. But this place makes REAL, FLAVORFUL food. You want flavor? You want the South in your month? Come here. Order everything. I've been around 10 times so far and have not repeated my order. Yet everything I've eaten is 10 out of 10. And I don't mean just the entrees or meats, every sides, corn bread, dessert, is AMAZING! Come early otherwise they run out of stuff. The egg rolls will absolutely blow your mind and it's such a creative yet down to earth creation. You won't regret it, I will no longer gatekeep this secret. You gotta come and eat real food here. It will change your life.

    Cuban Sandwich

    First time eating here and very impressed with the food! I got the Cuban sandwich and I've had quite a few in my day and this one is up on the list! My wife got the seafood platter. I was able to try it and it was very good, some of the best catfish I've had! Only reason I went 4 stars instead of 5 was because they don't (or didn't have) someone stationed at the counter where you order, so we had to wait a little and then when we needed refills on our drinks, I had to stand at the front for 5 min or so until I was able to flag one of the cooks for a refill. Regardless, decently worth the wait, I will for sure come back!

    Enjoying the jerk pork chop!

    OMG! Found this place on a Google eatery search as we were passing through town, this is perhaps some of the best food and by far, the best desserts I've had in perhaps a decade. All the flavors (and I tried a little bit of everybody's plate), were absolutely and delicious. Don't miss this spot!

    Blackened catfish on a bed of fresh spinach, potato salad, fried cabbage - very tasty

    Amazing!! Food, atmosphere, everything here is outstanding. The vibe is relaxing. The owner, JT, and his staff were warm and welcoming. The pork chop was tender and delicious. The blackened catfish (on a bed of spinach) was so very tasty. The sides and watermelon lemonade were flavorful!! And the peanut butter cookie OMG!! It was huge and wish I had another one. I'm already planning my next visit.

    Fried who chicken wings!!!

    If you've not tried this place, drop what you are dot& get here. Our friends recommended this place and we are glad they did. The food & service were excellent! TJ, the owner was super helpful. The smothered chicken, excellent! The fried fish, excellent! Mac & cheese, fried okra, purple hull peas were all excellent! We will be back!!!

    Good food and okay pricing. I would recommend it. It's more of a home made meal feel to it.

    At approximately 8:15 on 7/01/2026 I received VERY bad customer service from this location, as I…read morewas surprised because I have always had good service. I dialed 903-794-0901 on your website to call my order as I was on my way. Someone answered the phone, and I heard the talking in the background. It was about 10 seconds of silence with my repeatedly saying "Hello!", THEN they HUNG UP! I called back again, and was put on a longer hold with no one speaking withmy shouting "Hello", then was hung up on AGAIN! This was VERY rude! I went to the restaurant and spoke with Terence, who called himself a manager. I told him what happened, and I found him very dismissive. I figured the business owners should KNOW about the service that the customers receive!

One day the fish is skinner than a plastic fork. The next time they ran out of Cajun fish but decided not to say anything and still took my money. And this last time my fries and hush puppies were hot but stale so I can tell they got fried twice so they didn't waste them. Not sure if it's inconsistency on the workers or management but I really wish it didn't get worse over time. Either way the staff are all nice and friendly and get things done quickly so at least I've never been sitting at the window more than 15 minutes unlike some other places. Will be going back of course but just hope they can get the consistency down.

    Hi. Um. Okay. So... yeah. I came in around 11:00 pm because…read moreI was, you know, trying to see if there was live music or, like, a vibe. Not drunk. Not loud. Just standing there. Hydrated. Existing. At first it was cool. I met a couple of young guys. Super nice. Totally normal human interaction. We talked. It was fine. No problems. Excellent. Then they left. And, uh... yeah. Everything got weird. Like... record scratch weird. No bartender came over. No eye contact. No "hey man, what can I get you?" Just a lot of standing and looking past me like I was a ghost or maybe a very calm ghost. I tried to make casual conversation, because that's what people do in bars. And suddenly the room felt tense. Like I had accidentally walked into a staff meeting or a crime scene. At some point it hit me. Oh. They think I'm a cop. Not because I did anything. But because I was standing upright. And sober. And aware. Which, apparently, after 11 pm here is suspicious behavior. For the record, I am not law enforcement. I am just a guy who is cold and trying to hear music. I wasn't kicked out. I wasn't served. I was just... ignored. Like if they pretended I didn't exist long enough, I might fade away. So I left. Nothing dramatic happened. It was just awkward. Uncomfortable. And kind of impressive in a sad way. I walked into a bar and accidentally became a vibe check the place failed itself. This might work great for regulars or a younger crowd earlier in the night. But if you are a grown adult who knows how to behave in public, you may suddenly find yourself labeled "possibly undercover." Party on. I guess.

I love how you can see the kitchen but at the same time it's separated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We told them it was our first time and they helped us make our choices, by informing us of their items. I got the ghost pepper cheese burger with a side of cheese curds and my wife got the classic cheese burger with fries. It took less than 10 minutes to receive our food after we ordered. Everything was fresh, even the fries so it was all very hot, nothing that had been precooked sitting under a heat lamp. The ghost pepper cheese burger was phenomenal! It was the perfect amount of spicy. Just enough that you were able to eat without discomfort but by the end, you had a little sweat on your head . The cheese curds were very good too and I felt the size I got (regular) was the perfect size. My wife ordered the classic cheese burger. She said hers was good, but not 5 star good. Her only complaint was that the meat did not have enough seasoning. She said a little more salt would have made it a 5 ‍. Overall, I loved this place and can't wait to go back for more. It's located right in the heart of all the shopping in Texarkana, so after you get your shopping done, swing by and grab a fantastic burger!
