My wife and I jokingly call this place "Bayou NOT On The Beach Cafe" - because, well... it isn't…read more But honestly, that's the only thing Bayou doesn't deliver on. The menu is packed with options: raw, grilled, baked, and charbroiled oysters, royal red shrimp, fried seafood baskets, fresh fish, prime rib po'boys, Cajun seafood boils, burgers, and more. We've tried just about everything over the years, and not once have we been disappointed. It's hard to believe I haven't reviewed them before now, but what Bayou lacks in beachfront views, it more than makes up for with consistently great food, cold drinks, and friendly service - all at reasonable prices. A couple things to know before you go: they're closed Sundays and Mondays, don't take reservations or call-ahead seating, and they stay busy. If you show up after 5:45pm, expect a bit of a wait - but grabbing a drink at the bar and catching up with your group at the picnic tables on the open patio is all part of the experience.

I ordered beignets for dessert- ate one there and had the rest to go. I ate 2 a day for breakfast for the next few days. Warmed up great and were yummy! We sat at the bar and had excellent service. It is loud in the restaurant but sitting at the bar was fine and bc we were side by side we had no trouble having a convo.

We were greeted upon entering and were immediately seated. We were sitting near the bar area and it was a nice spot. The food was delicious!! I had Redfish with coleslaw and hush puppies. The fish was so good and seasoned very well. The hush puppies were good too and the coleslaw was eatable. Seems like it was missing something. My husband had the cajun platter and said everything was good. We also had frozen drinks and I couldn't taser the alcohol in it, but I did feel it a little. Definitely a place that I would visit again!

Lower marks on the ETOH; cheaper brands of liquor killed the flavor. But def worth a visit!

Fair warning, come early and get in line. They are only open from 5-8pm and it's on a first come first served basis. We got there around 4:45pm and the line was 15 deep at least. The place is huge so it can accommodate a ton of people, but on a busy night it could fill up quickly. For the experience, especially with kids it's well worth it. The seafood was excellent. We all got a crab boil with either Dungeness or snow crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. And the kicker: their loaded Cajun butter sauce lathered all over everything. Outstanding flavors, insanely fresh crab and shrimp boiled to perfection, and the sausage, corn and potatoes rounded it all out. Service was unbelievably fast given how popular and busy it was. I commend them for running a well oiled machine. This definitely wasn't their first rodeo. A great experience for a whole family, just remember to get there early.

We ate outside on the deck. Started with cup shrimp etoufee - scoop of piping hot white rice covered with a nice New Orleans sauce. Shrimp were plentiful and tender. I could have eaten a pail of it. Maybe some other day. We wanted to try a couple of sandwiches knowing that we would taking some leftovers home for dinner.. Started with the shrimp poor boy - the small one, cut in half. It was loaded with lightly battered shrimp, lettuce and tomato on a superb crusty bun. Sandwich looked good and tasted even better. It wasn't inexpensive but it had great value for the money. We also tried the mufalata sandwich. Again, the small one. It was a monster. Cut in 4, it still was huge. Seasoned ham sliced super thin with cheese on a fantastic crusty roll. There might have been a couple of other meats on the sandwich. It was too good to dissect for details. The olive dressing was excellent, I would have liked more of it on the sandwich. This sandwich was again very pricey, but had good value. Our food was brought to us by a friendly young man who was very good at sharing the details of the menu. Sadly, we didn't try the beignets.. Super dooper highly recommend without any reservations. Would eat there weekly if we lived in the area. Need to try the gumbo and jambalaya.

It was good with plenty of quality ham and olive tapenade. However, it lacked Mortadella and the proper Emmental-provolone cheese blend, feeling more like a ham and cheese sandwich with a little salami, than the cohesive, harmonious Muffulettas from NOLA. It was solid but not the same. Next time I think I'll give one of the Po-boys sandwiches a try.
