I came to the Bayou with some coworkers one evening after work. There were about six of us. We were…read moreseated promptly, and got to chill and drink during the short wait for the rest of our party to arrive. Ambiance is always so chill in there. Mood lighting, great artwork on the walls, and poppin' music. During our stay, the music might have actually been a little too poppin'. We had to really approach shouting to be able to have a conversation with each other. Service was good. We had a very nice server who took good care of us. They were out of a few food and drink items, but that might have been our bad. Our visit Was only two days after Mardi Gras. So, no points deducted, just be wary of maybe holding off coming here until they can replenish from Mardi Gras. As for the food, I started off with the Cajun Dip (spinach, cheddar, monterey Jack, brie, mozzarella, garlic bread, tri-color chips). Nice little dip. A good mixture of spinach earthiness and cheese, not too salty. Chips were good and crunchy, could have had more of that awesome bread. But overall a very nice app. As for my entree, I think I had a nice jambalaya. I can't find it on the menu right this moment, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. It was really nice. Well-cooked rice, well-seasoned, and a good amount of shrimp hidden inside that tight mold. Very good presentation. Very nice dish. Overall, it was a good time with people people and good food! This place is right by my work, I've already been a few times, and I reckon I'll keep on coming back.

Sadly, Didn't get a chance to try the food. The restaurant was only half full and we could never…read moreget seated. They asked us to take a seat at the front door, and left us there for 15 minutes before asking if we had a reservation.. (odd) We were only a party of four, we were there at 4:00 because we knew the closed at six on Sunday, so not sure what was going on.. Anyway, we finally had to leave and get dinner next door.

If you're looking for a spot that gives real New Orleans vibes, Tibby's did not disappoint. From…read morethe food to the ambiance, it truly felt like a little taste of Bourbon Street. Our server Brett was amazing and made the whole experience even better. We started with the gator bites, and for the main dishes we had the shrimp & andouille cheese grits and a po' boy sandwich with slow-cooked red beans and rice. The mains were absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and seasoned perfectly. For dessert we had the beignets, and they were sweet, flaky, and full of flavor. The perfect ending to the meal. To drink we had the Hurricane and the Hemingway. The drinks were definitely strong, but absolutely worth it. The music, atmosphere, and overall energy really reminded me of New Orleans culture. Definitely a place I would come back to again.

It's an elevated Cajun experience, starting with the debris spring rolls, pot roast and manchego cheese fried to crisp perfection in an egg roll with a delicious beef gravy for dipping. Their hurricane is strong and authentic. Jazz music flows through the restaurant and everywhere you look has color, glitz and glam! You haven't had shrimp and grits til you've had them as grit cakes, get the shrimp and grit cake: Monica style, if you don't like spice, maybe don't get it but it's delicious otherwise. The combination of the crunchy fried exterior and the creamy grits inside is such a yummy experience. Lastly, you have to get beignets and an espresso martini. As a beignet obsessed person, it pains me to say that their bread pudding is the superior dessert. I'm not a HUGE fan of the croissant flaky style of beignet that's become the norm for most places, but that's what they have here. I'd much prefer the classic beignet with the pocket of air in the middle. But otherwise they're still amazing and the espresso martini is delicious. Sarah B was an efficient and friendly waitress! If you need a NOLA fix, this is the place to go! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

It's also a great spot for large parties without ever feeling chaotic. Service is always 10/10, always attentive, friendly and prompt, they are so on top of it you never have to ask for a refill. The food is consistently amazing. Highly recommend the BBQ shrimp, the wood fired oysters (the chili butter is seriously addicting), and the Gumbo Ya-Ya. Every dish is packed with flavor and feels authentic. Easily one of my favorite spots whenever I'm craving Creole food.

My hopes were high for this place in finding some good Cajun food. I will say that the service was…read moregreat and perhaps this is one of those days when the kitchen was off. The décor is pretty good and a reminder of what you would see in some new age vampire movie. I started off with the Black Magic Lemonade that I have to say was very tasty. I think for the most part any drink you order will be pretty good. From what I see the mixologist are on a bit higher level than the average ones you encounter at most bars. It was the highlight of the entire meal along with the great service from the waitress. Now to the main part of the review covering the food. The website advertises that Voodoo Bayou is "where Southern charm meets bold Cajun flair in an atmosphere that's as lively and unforgettable as the cuisine itself. Known as the premier destination for authentic Southern-inspired dining, Voodoo Bayou offers an indulgent experience with every visit." Now is this marketing or just the actual truth. I went with the crawfish and shrimp etouffee. Overall, the etouffee itself was ok but the rice at times was crunchy. Usually when that happens the rice is not cooked in enough liquid and kept at high heat. The consistency was not there and with each bite it was like what I would get. I mixed the rice with the etouffee in the hopes of hydrating the rice a bit more, but it was just hope. My wife took one bite of the shrimp poboy she ordered and it was a no. Going back to the great service it was noticed as the waitress came over and noticed our reaction. We said nothing as she mentioned it looked like my spouse was not enjoying her meal. I told her my order was not bad but not the best. The oysters Rockefeller were a good appetizer and did I mention the drink. The manager came over and asked if she wanted something else and she declined. The meal was removed but I am going back to saying the kitchen could have been off. The booth that was right behind me had issues with their food. What got me is that it was an issue with a burger. A burger. Part of their meal was comped. The food was not reminiscent of Cajun. If I go into a place that says they have a "Cajun flair" and I ask if you serve boudin and the answer is, "What's that?" then I should have known at that point. If you know then you know. Anyplace claiming Cajun better have boudin. Living on the gulf coast and I am not talking of just my experience with food in New Orleans, but Breaux Bridge, St Martinville, New Iberia, and the whole Acadiana area of Louisiana the food at Voodoo Bayou was way off target. For many this could be their first taste in Cajun food and many think after this visit this is how it should be. Bless your heart. This is what results in many people thinking Taco bell is actual Mexican food. Service and the drink were great but overall, this is a one and done with a not so happy visit on my first visit.

I was in this part of town for a conference, so I decided to come to this location, instead of the Mills one. Thank God I did. We walked in unexpectedly into karaoke day! Very good song choices, very entertaining participants, a very fun thing to be around while chomping down on all the seafood. Two different types of crab, a bunch of crawfish, and a lot of other good accessories like the corn, potatoes, and Andouille. The seasoning was heavy, it wasn't too buttery, and the seafood wasn't overcooked or anything.
