Everything had really great flavor and the shrimp po' boy was huge! I want to give them 5 stars but my food was cold :( I watched the kitchen crank out food that just sat in the window. There was one person taking orders, answering the phone and delivering food/getting to go orders. Our food sat in the window long enough my shrimp and fries were completely cold through . Please please get some more help, your food is good even cold, I can only imagine how good it is hot. I will be back for sure try everything else on the menu!! read more

2nd time here....just as good. The jambalaya is amazing too. The red beans in rice are........yup, amazing. I'm going to take a guess and say everything else here is just as good. Till next time. read more

I had the roast beef poboy. It has lot of flavor and the sandwich is huge. We will be back.

The wife and I stopped by right before the lunch rush on Saturday to try the place out. It's like going to a food truck but in a brick and mortar storefront. The menu is short and to the point. The girl taking orders was easy going and gave us the rundown on how to order and where to pick up the food. We were eating in ten minutes or so. I had the KC poboy with pulled pork and spicy slaw and onion rings on it. The wife had the original with beef and french fries on it. We also ordered a side of fries. Everything was awesome, but we unknowingly ordered twice as much food as we needed. We'll know next time. Go there and try it out. I'd guess you won't go wrong with anything they offer. read more

Very good I had the roast beef the sandwiches are very big :) to much to finish for me and my husband next time we will split one in half and order a side we will go back here. read more

Good food. great staff. fast service. All in all great. Cannot get too many offerings of po'boys in KC, especially north of the river. Well, now you can. I will be coming back read more

The food here is awesome. Large portion sizes. Sandwiches, fries, seafood jambalaya, red beans & rice, I like them all. I would recommend you try this place out at least once. They are located in a strip mall on NE Vivion Rd north of the river in Kansas City. A hidden gem! read more

Went in and had a chicken and andouille po boy, some fried okra, and sampled some jambalaya and gumbo. AMAZING. I was born and raised in Mississippi and spent lots of time in Louisiana so trust me when I say that if you like Cajun food then you will LOVE this place. Go hungry. Leave full. read more

Oh my gosh. A great feast for a poor boy. NOT your usual shrimp on a bun with a bit of N.O. remoulade. No, this is elevated seafood for sandwiches. Don't expect the usual cheap stuff from wherever. Different, but really good. Take advantage of it! read more

If you love Cajun food then this is the place for you!!i told the cashier this was my first visit and I was ordering to go. Before I knew it, they had samples of their Chicken and Andouille Gumbo and then a sample of their jambalaya. Both we very good. I had the special which was a shrimp Po boy, with fried okra, and a drink for $9.50 and I had to have a cup of the Gumbo $6.00. You might say that was expensive but I could not finish the Po Boy. Generous portions!! Service was very friendly!! read more

My husband and I went to Mudbug's for the first time tonight and not only was the food great, the employees were great too! As soon as we placed our order to dine in, we realized they were getting ready to close for the night. We immediately told the girl who took our order that we didn't realize they were getting ready to close & that we could just take our food to go. She was very friendly & said we were welcome to stay & eat. We insisted we would take our food to go but appreciated how kind she was to us being that we came in 10 minutes before closing. We will definitely be back & will reccomend our family & friends to try it too! read more

Good ribs and brisket, but the fries were much to be desired. I ordered to go but when I got home they were limp and blah. Will go back but won't order fries. Hopefully the other sides are better. read more

Eating partner & I split the shrimp poboy & roast beef poboy. They were both exceptional - toasted rolls, melty cheese, not over-dressed slaw (on the shrimp). I get the hype & this place is totally worth it. My only complaint is that the fries were way too salty, almost inedible. But that won't stop me from coming back - next time, we'll try the okra. read more

My one star is based on the environment of this new eatery, the seating is ATROCIOUS, after eating here and sitting in their honorably designed metal chairs my ass was destroyed, their food is good but order carry out, their restaurant is designed like the food truck operation they came from and it diffidently feels like it, why they wasted their money on a restaurant location is befuddling, they should have invested their money on another food truck because that is what they got except no wheels and whoever though buying those killer chairs and tables should be fired, they just plain aren't very bright. read more

This place was good for about a month (basa/redfish) but they have no idea how to run a business and it ruins everything. The help went downhill & is often just rude. Food is inconsistent. Entire operation is simply unreliable and unprofessional. Now closed on Saturdays (really, Saturday???) until further notice. There is a lack of cajun food options in the area so people, myself included, really want to like this place (and/or they don't have anything to compare with it); but the shortcomings are just too much to ignore. Won't be back. read more

The food was incredible! The girl working the counter/serving had a great attitude and was very helpful. The husband and I both had shrimp po-boys. The only disappointment was that I tried to order the special on the board but it wasn't actually available until the next day. So that was a bummer, but we will definitely be eating here more often. read more

I really liked this place. Took my wife and daughter. I had the roast beef. Wife had the shredded chicken and andouille sausage. My daughter had the shrimp po'boy. All three were very good and extremely large. Also had side dishes of gumbo and okra. The waitress gave us a free sample of the jambalaya also.The gumbo was darn good. Okra and jambalaya good too but my favorite side was the gumbo.If you are in the mood for a decent po'boy sandwich and have a large appetite, give Mudbugs a try. read more

See all

Wow. I would give 6 stars if I could. We tried gumbo (rich, buttery, complex soup with sausage and chicken), jambalaya (shrimp, sausage) with a slight tang of tomato in the rich broth, red beans and rice with sausage (which was delicious, by the way). These were all standouts. Followed up with the heavenly seahog's po boy -- bacon wrapped enormous shrimp on a toasted bun with swiss cheese and covered in scrumptious corn-cabbage slaw with creamy dressing, with bits of broccoli, crawfish and sausage. Also had some very creditable fries. We drove 30 miles to try it and will do so again! read more

I had heard about this place so we decided to try it one day. I thought the sandwiches were a little pricy but I thought maybe they were just really good. All I could taste was SALT. Just so so salty. I wasn't impressed and won't be returning. read more

Made a long, long drive to take a friend who grew up in New Orleans to Mud Bugs for dinner. My wife and I have eaten many a great meal in Louisiana as well and consider ourselves well versed in NOLA and Cajun food. We were expecting an amazing experience based on the other reviews. It was not to be. The food was tasty but nothing at all like authentic Cajun cooking in our experience, or in the experience of our friend who lived much of her life there. If I didn't know anything about real Louisiana cuisine I would have given it 4 stars but unfortunately... we do. Drinks in cans, no plates, plastic cutlery, decent food but nothing like authentic Cajun cooking. I'm not angry that I went, but I won't be going back. Your mileage may vary. read more

This is the type of restaurant that the community should support, locally owned and customer service oriented. Went there for the first time since they moved, restaurant has more room, owner came out to talk, gave us a sample of gumbo, it was delicious, meal was great, fries were great, service was exceptional. Simple design so I wouldn't recommend for a first date but would for a forth date lol. It's definitely on my list of go to restaurants in the northland. Again this should be supported and appreciated by the community. read more

We got carry out. One Shrimp Po Boy and one KC Po Boy. We also ordered red beans and rice and gumbo. Both sandwiches were fantastic. Shrimp was perfectly cooked, fried onions on the KC Po Boy were perfectly crisp even after more that a 15 min drive home. Bread was still crunchy, nothing got soggy. Both sides were equally fantastic.Although the sandwiches were huge and the sides really weren't necessary. We will go back!!! read more

Worth a drive.. unlike any place in this area! Very tasty, high quality and large portions. I'm not into seafood but their options are wild!

Great food! Great service! Had the catfish (it had a different name but I cant remember). It was delicious! He said its farm raised so its not a bottom feeder, making it taste better. He was right! It taste very clean and very good! Almost like chicken! The prices were good too read more

I found this amazing place by accident. I was going to Subway reluctantly and saw this place a few yards away. What luck! I had the Roast Beef and was delighted at the huge portion and the flavors.I also got fried okra and fries just for the taste testing. *wink Huge portions and crispy okra. Then i got a sample of the beans and rice. I thought I had seen the light. It was delicious with the right balance of spicy. I will be back and I recommend this to anyone who will listen. read more

Excellent. We tried Shrimp Po'Boy, Roast Beef Po'Boy, Red Beans & Rice and Fried Okra for sides and all of it was delicious. We enjoyed that each sandwich had it's own style of dressings (polenta/slaw on the Shrimp & french fries on the Roast Beef), instead of all being the same sandwich with different meat options, though all sandwiches come with a topping of crawfish meat too. The sandwiches are stuffed and I had to bring half of mine home with me. The staff was super friendly and chatted it up with us for a little while, giving us a little history on the place and such. He also brought out small samples of their gumbo for us to try. Wow! So hearty and flavorful with Chicken and Andoullie. Nothing it too hot or spicy, just the right amount of seasonings for each dish. We'll be back again in the next 2 weeks I'm sure. Can't wait to try their seafood jambalaya next! For clarification, Mud Bugs started as a truck but opened a restaurant space. Also they mentioned they would be moving to another space so best bet is follow them on Facebook. read more

the inside is really dim lighting, booths kinda old and looks dirty in here. but that food tho was really good. i had a shrimp po boy. bread nice and soft, shrimp crispy deep fried, slaw and brocolli was on point. i also ordered seafood jumbalaya came in a to go bowl. a little spicy, really tasty with a bowl of rice(little dry) but went well after i combined them. happy customer. id recommend to eat here prolly take out tho. read more

The roast beef Po boy was and lemon garlic fries were amazing. The staff was friendly. I was nervous when I saw the purple walls. But the service and the food wowed! read more

I am in love with this place! We are working our way through the daily specials and have yet to find anything I haven't liked. The fried basa po'boy is tender and cooked to perfection. However the jambalaya and gumbo are to die for. Just the right amount of spice. I only wish there were more days in the week so I could try more specials. read more

Liked the Gumbo and the beef poorboy. Great lunch location. I will add it to my rotation. So much more of the menu to try.

Great food and service!! Sting ray PO' Boy was outstanding!! The staff was very friendly and the chef know his Cajun!!!

This place is great and gives large portions of food! I used to live in Mississippi and when I need southern food this is where I go. I ordered the shrimp po boy and red beans and rice. Very good! Be prepared to take food home. Staff was friendly and the chef came out to everyone's tables to make sure everyone was pleased with their food. read more

Heard about this place and read reviews and they live up.to the hype! So delicious, will def be returning! I wanna try all the Po' Boys!

First time at Mud Bugs. Great food and great service. The owner was very friendly. We will be back!

The Seahog was awesome. I love po'boys but don't eat them much because the shrimp is fried but this one was big plump grilled bacon wrapped. Place was super clean and simple. I live 45mins from there but will definitely be my go to place. read more

Listen to your yelping friends and get yourself a shrimp po' boy. Shrimp was tender, hot, not over cooked or too bready at all, nice cook on the shrimp. The red cabbage coleslaw on the sandwich was amazing, seriously good, and the aioli was great too. I couldn't find the polenta that others said was on that sandwich, but the flavor was all there and it had nice fresh tomato and provolone cheese. Huge sandwich, too, I'd go back and order it again, yummy. Husband had the chicken and andouille po' boy. He wasn't as impressed as I was, he thought it would be a chicken bread and it's a shredded chicken. Nice flavor on the chicken, but not his thing. He'd have been happier with the roast beef. So, if I was going to make a suggestion, I'd order the sandwich with extra aioli and request a harder toast on the bread. We also had fries and okra which was real deal good and hot from the fryer. I'd order a little cup of that aioli to dip that okra in, too. The decor is real dark so it's a little hard to see your food so sit by the front windows. The young woman who served us was very friendly, a real sweetie! I'd like to go back and try the gumbo. And bathe in that aioli. Wait, did I just say that? Well... read more

I tried Mudbugs on Vivion Rd the other day. It's a very low key environment and the food was served in Styrofoam cups but I went there for the food, not the atmosphere. Had Jamebilia and it was very tasty. Just a little salty but I think that goes with Cajun spices. They young lady serving was really nice and helpful. I'm sure I'll try it again and perhaps try the Shrimp Poorboy next time. read more

Decided to give this place a try because of all the amazing reviews on yelp. I ordered the roast beef po boy & it was pretty good!! Unfortunately, I felt like it was really salty.... causing me to drink a lot of water. The flavor was great & so was the service but each time I took a bite of the po boy I felt the need to chug a whole bunch of water. read more

This is the best Cajun food in Kansas City and its not even close. The owner/chef is a great guy who loves to talk with the customers. I can't get enough of mud bugs. read more

People were super friendly. Food is tooooo salty. Gumbo was delicious. Sandwich OK.
