You get alot for your money with the fish and fries. I did not like the flavor of the gumbo but that doesn't mean it's nasty, just isn't that Louisiana Gumbo I have to have. Service was Quick and kind. The restaurant looked clean and neat. read more

Food is good. Expensive though. I spent $44 on two things. I got the blackened salmon w/ a topping. I also got extra oysters on the topping. I also got fried shrimp w/ fries. The salmon w/ topping is $16.95. The shrimp is $13.25. Not sure how much the topping was. Got a fountain drink for $1.95. That's $32.15 so for 6 extra pieces of oyster had to be about $5 extra. It's good just a bit expensive. Service was good. Food came out really fast. Inside is okay. Not many people came in. Mostly high school kids ordering chicken tenders. Pretty cleaning inside as well. Overall good place. It's the same place as the Cajun town on little York. Just a different name. This place has been here for over 5 years. read more

I love this place! I am a huge fan of their menu! The service is always on point too!

Our twelve year old grandson told us we should go there for lunch....so we did! He made a good recommendation! My husband had fried fish, I had shrimp and grandson had chicken strips! Everything was so good! The staff were engaged and attentive; the restaurant was very clean and our food was served quickly! Will go again! read more

*~*REVIEW IS FOR FOR TAKE OUT ONLY*~* Friday after the boyfriend and I are home from our vacation, we did not want to cook! But we also did not know what we wanted to eat either..... So we play Russian Roulette on Uber Eats and found this place! We were initially were confused as to the portioning,so i went ahead and I called the restaurant. Satisfied at the number of fried fish items that came in the combo and satisfied with the questions about other items on the menu,we placed our order via UberEats as they do not do their own delivery. 2 fried fish fillets came in our fish and oysters platter,and everything looked and smelled SO GOOD - we decided to pour our Etouffee over it! Everything was flavorful and fresh,and we were not disappointed. The dirty rice had chunks of liver and the the red beans were thick. I only WISH we took a picture before we devoured it! Yahtzee (spelling?) was the one to help us over the phone. We called her back again 15 minutes before closing to tell her how much we enjoyed their food! Based on the exceptional customer service Yahtzee gave, and the delicious food the kitchen cooked up, we will be ordering again! My boyfriend wants to make it known that this is a hidden goldmine and he wants to try other things on the menu. My boyfriend also feels this review is understated(LOL). Bless y'all. read more

The Bayou Cajun Cafe - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Placed an order on a food delivery app due to the reviews. The food was good and everything was packaged well. There were a few things I didn't care for but everything was tasty. The cornbread is great. Tastes like it was baked when I ordered it and you can taste the fresh jalapeños (but not overwhelming). The gumbo was also good...the soup had alot of seafood and vegetables. The cajun corn was ok...not my favorite. I love red beans and rice but was not a fan of the red beans. The flavor was ok but for me it was too "soupy" ...very watery. The boudin was good, seasoned well and the fried fish and shrimp was great. I will definitely eat here again. read more

I was looking for Cajun town and I couldn't find them. After searching I was able to find the bayou Cajun Café. Come to find out I talked to the manager Arsenio And he told me they indeed changed the name but the food is still the same. I was relieved! I got their amazing Cajun pasta. I have been eating this dish for many years. I can confirm the food is still indeed the same. So if you are in the mood for some amazing Cajun pasta and or Cajun food. This is your spot! Everything is so good here. The Cajun pasta is simply the best! I have also had the crawfish etoufee which is extreme good! The lunch portion is huge and can probably feed two people. The chicken tenders are so dam good too! My picky brother in law said these are best chicken tenders he ever ate In his life. That's a lot coming from him. Trust me if you are in the area stop on in and try some amazing Cajun good! You will not be disappointed. *** also you know you go out to eat too much when this happens. After talking more with Arsenio he told me he worked at the little York location for 14 years. I knew he looked familiar. *****. Come support the local businesses!!!!! read more

Don't understand these reviews. If you are from Louisiana, you will be extremely disappointed. I ordered a oyster po- that had soggy oysters and red beans and rice that was horrible read more

The menu has classic New Orleans dishes. I had the gumbo and fried seafood plate. The waiter was polite, attentive and friendly. The restaurant is decorated in a style reminiscent of the French Quarter. read more

If you're having a bad day, come here for food therapy! You will receive 5 star service, and it's a super clean environment . They have booths and tables in the center which is really nice. Highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Orders are ready quickly, whether in-person or to-go. The food tastes just as good as the old Cajun Town restaurant.

The food was amazing. I can't believe there was hardly anyone in here. We did t wait long for food. Also you get discount if you pay for cash. I was skeptical about this location because I always go to Cajun Town on Little York but this place did not disappoint. I will be visiting this location more. read more

Quaint restaurant... it is really quiet on a Wednesday, although I am not quite sure why because they have nice size TV screens. It would be a great place to watch the game. The restaurant was clean. The waitress/cashier was attentive. She was also very knowledge about the menu and made several suggestions. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat in this area, stop here. Looks can be deceiving, as the food tastes better than I thought. read more

Huge portions for very affordable prices. There is better Cajun food in the area, but you'll pay 2-3 times more and get less. Absolutely perfect for lunch when you're hungry read more

Have been wanting to try this place for a while. I finally stopped in with my mom. I ordered shrimp Po-Boy w/ fries and my mom ordered half at Crawfish Etoufe and half fried crawfish. Po-Boy was excellent. Shrimp had very flavor/tast. I give high grade to the French Bread they use. Bread is very fresh and is a little larger to hold all the shrimp. Etoufe was very good as well. Also ordered a cup of seafood gumbo and definitely give it a good grade as well. Very good base flavor to it. Definitely recommend.. read more

So Happy to have this place close by. The etouffee is my favorite- crawfish or shrimp. Both yummy! I usually get the half and half- fried and etouffee. It's not a fancy place. You order at the front and sit where you want. Simple place, good food. read more

The food is good. With the exception of the fried chicken fingers, it seems freshly prepared not just heated up.

Great service and delicious food! I dream about those fries! Highly recommend to anyone!

I ordered Uber eats from this company . A bowl of gumbo (was the smaller clear plastic bowl that's about 3 inches tall) was decent size did think it would be bigger since I paid for the bowl option not the cup . Can't imagine how small that is . The gumbo itself was very bland unfortunately :( . I had to season it very generously. The boudin was also bland . Meh . Probably won't order again . The best thing about his place was the cornbread and the pecan pie read more

They reduced the serving of Red Beans and Rice to less than 2 ounces of red beans and added more rice, they think their customers are stupid, they must be having money issues and decided to cheat their customers! Not smart! It should have called Rice with a Li'l beans! read more

I love the tilapia with the topping that has the crawfish in it. Super yummy. I always get mine to go and the service is fine.

Absolutely love their food, especially the etouffee! Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Had 2 lunch specials yesterday. My husband had the Crawfish Ettouffee with rice. For lunch it was a large plate of food. I had the catfish and shrimp with French fries. The catfish was so delicate and lightly fried. Very tasty. The 6 shrimp were good but almost over fried. The French fries were so crispy. My serving was also large. read more

We wanted to try this restaurant based on its reviews. We're from NOLA and I was raised by true Cajuns who spoke only Cajun French so I know good Cajun cooking. This was a HUGE disappointment. The red beans and rice was so thin it was actually watery and had no flavor other than too much pepper. The beans weren't even fully cooked as some were hard. The gumbo didn't remotely resemble actual gumbo. It was gross. The étouffée wasn't too bad but had no rice and was extremely greasy. The only halfway decent thing was a fried chicken chicken sandwich that my husband ordered. We left almost everything uneaten and will never waste our money here again. read more

Located in an older strip center, empty when we arrived, ... about 1:00ish.. first impression was that the tables were not bussed ... Walk up to counter ordering... My test we're to order the fried oysters.. a test by which I apply to all seafood restaurants... Mine came to me quickly... Presentation and size we're not too impressive... Taste was good... Veggies we're not bad... Overall, service needs improvement but the taste is there ... Worth a visit but I won't be going out of my way to visit again.. for the price there are nicer restaurants.. but convince to the locals should be a big plus.. read more

Happened upon this place when looking for local eatery to deliver after long day working. We were beyond impressed with the quality, quantity and flavor of the food. If it's this good after delivery time can't wait to see how good it is fresh. Even bought an extra meal for lunch next day. Warmed up perfectly. We recently moved to TX from the Midwest. Had a couple places with decent Cajun up there...this blows them all away. We will definitely make this a frequent place to eat. read more

I ignored this place because I ate at the original Cajun Town (previous tenant) and I was not impressed. I'm from New Orleans, and I know good Cajun food.i started ordering from Bayou when I saw them on DoorDash. Today I got their boiled crawfish. The spice is similar to Pappadeaux's. Lots of unique spices with a roux color. The boiled crawfish were great. The Étouffée is also very good. The fried oysters were so so. I am ordering from them on DoorDash on a regular basis. The food comes fast and the flavor is consistent and good. read more

I really hate to post such a contrasting review. I see that others really enjoyed the food. It is really good that this place has its target audience. I'm just not one of them. The bride and I couldn't finish the gumbo. We are obviously accustomed to a different recipe. That doesn't make Bayou Cajun's bad. read more

My parents and I have been going to Cajun Town for many years on West Little York and it is alway delicious. This was our first visit to this location. I Had the mahi mahi and it was very dry and fishy. The dirty rice was packed with big Chunks of dry liver. My dad had fried shrimp it was over cooked and my mom's salmon was also over cooked. So disappointing. read more

The former Cajun town cafe has changed its name to Bayou Cajun Cafe.. with a different name comes other changes, unfortunately the 15% discount for paying with $ cash has gone bye bye :-( much to our dismay.. their cajun food is still on point, however this last visit I was looking forward to having the Crawfish etouffee combo..I've had this plate many times at their establishment and have never been dissatisfied.. but this time I didn't receive what I originally thought I ordered.. 1/2 fried 1/2 regular.. instead I was presented with 1/2 shrimp etouffee and 1/2 Crawfish.. delicious as it was it left me craving what I thought I had ordered as I had many times before in previous visits. Oh well.. nothing stays the same and all good things come to an end.. read more

Nice quiet place, great service.I tried the seafood gumbo, it was good and I will be back. Very friendly waitresse's, the pkace was clean and service quick. I will be back to try some more cajun delights, I hope their crawfish is good. I will update another time when I can enjoy a full meal. read more

My wife is from Pecan Island. She loves this place. Legit is every way. Poboys, ettouffee, and all the good stuff

Tried this place last year and had a young lady at front register with a very nasty attitude so I just thought to myself maybe she was having a bad day so I didn't say too much and that's not me but I let it go. Food wasn't tasty at all but again they were new to the area so decided to try again a year later. Today I ordered fried catfish plate, fried catfish and shrimp plate and fried catfish, oysters and shrimp with coleslaw. Well, the gentleman said 10 - 15 minutes and that worked because I lived about about 8 minutes from the restaurant thinking that the food would be just right temperature. Well, food was cold, coleslaw had to be several days old because it was watery and the purple cabbage was just disgusting looking. Fish and oysters didn't have a flavor and the shrimp were boxed breaded shrimp. Nothing fresh to say the least. Very disappointed. Thought about ordering the gumbo but I know gumbo and just didn't want to chance it. Well, glad I didn't order gumbo. So, very disappointed with the food. read more
