    Black magic lemonade
    Shawn W.

    My hopes were high for this place in finding some good Cajun food. I will say that the service was great 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.

    We went to dinner here on a Saturday evening with a group of friends. We did make reservations! I highly recommend reservations. The ambience is dark and vampire like. It felt like a scene from Blade lol I loved it! Red lights along a back wall was very cool. Our server was Chris and he was very attentive and friendly. We all loved our entrees! We started with the deviled eggs and smoked wings. Both phenomenal! Best I've had! Highly recommend both. I had the ya ya for my entree. It was perfectly spicy! They were out of redfish that night but I will return to order it! The jambalaya was fantastic also! I can't wait to go back and try new things!

    This place is definitely interesting. We took the chair ride to the mystery room that I wish somebody would've told me that I can actually just walk through instead of awkwardly sitting on that rotating chair situation. A bunch of us set at the bar and the menus were really sticky and they kind of smelled weird. I ordered a Roku gin and tonic and my friends all ordered specialty drinks. There was definitely a good pour of gin and for that reason I would give this place four and a half stars. The service was kind of lacking as our bartender disappeared. I would go back.

    Rare gem in Orlando! Very impressed with the quality of food Voodoo Bayou has to offer on top of their amazing decor, 5 stars all the way around! The food was literally to die for, the service was amazing from start to finish and the theming made everything even better! They even have a really cool speakeasy, sit on the two chairs in front near the wall to find out ((: I can't wait to come back and taste more of this delicious menu!! Also have to note these are the BEST beignets I've had in my entire life and they come out fresh and warm!

    Famous Cornbread*
    Alexis H.

    Visited on a Saturday night and it was very busy! Even with a reservation, we waited for a while to be seated. I would recommend coming on a weeknight or snagging an earlier reservation on the weekends. That said, the food here was delicious. The famous cornbread and Redfish were the highlight of the meal. They also have live music, but beware that the place is quite loud. Overall, it's worth the visit - even if just for the cornbread alone!

    Love the ambiance of the place! Dark and with dim lights give it a more intimate vibe, but it was still lively as they had a live singer on stage. The service was great! Our server made some great recommendations, and the food and drinks definitely delivered! The only downside was, after we ate, we felt like our waiter was rushing us to clear the table. I would totally get it if there was a huge wait in the lobby or all tables were full... but there were plenty of tables available and no wait. Wouldn't let this discourage me from going back. Went to Voodoo Bayou with a friend to catch up, but definitely plan on returning for their happy hour offerings sometime soon.

    FRIED GREEN TOMATO Smoked Pork Belly, Pimento Cheese, Tomato Jam & Frisee
    Donald T.

    This is my second time reviewing VB (although I've been many times), and quite frankly my most disappointing visit. The service was, as usual, amazing. Summer was our server and she was attentive, personable, and was the best part of the experience. I always get the fried green tomatoes with the pork-belly, and it's typically a knock out. This time the pork was not as crispy/tender as it's been in the past and very chewy. The tomato however was cooked perfectly. Now, this chicken and biscuit....3/10. The platter is literally a 4 piece with a biscuit. I was expecting more of an equal portion of each, but that's not the case here. The biscuit was actually pretty good! Served with maple butter and honey. The chicken, however was dry, overcooked, and had way too much breading. It was seasoned breading, but since it was overcooked, you couldn't enjoy it. As for ambiance, literally everyone was celebrating a birthday, so a bit annoying at times, but for the environment still rather easy with some wonderful live music. And the place is just gorgeous. Overall, this place is still not bad. I mean everyone has a swing and a miss now and again. I would not count them out just yet. But will steer clear of the chicken & biscuit situation in future visits.

    Went for happy hour and blown away by the menu. Drinks were good! Had one that was sweet and refreshing and another one that was more alcohol forward. We ordered a bunch on th happy hour menu and the ones that stood out to me was the gator nuggets and Rockefeller oysters. So much flavor in the food and the drinks. Will want to visit again when I'm back in Orlando

    Mango Mimosa
    Nikki B.

    As soon as I walked in I couldn't stop gawking at everything. The spooky fun ambiance, the lighting sets a mood, the velvet booths, cheetah print chairs, the decorations. I truly fell in love. Our server was the sweetest thing and attentive. We came for brunch BUT I wasn't really impressed with it. Food was lukewarm but I did like the bread that came with my dish. The banana bread pudding sounded so delicious BUT it was rather grainy and the cookies were unbreakable... The beignets were warm and fabulous, so order those!! I got bottomless mimosas and those were nice with juices such as-- pineapple, mango, peach, OJ or strawberry I don't want to never not come back. Because I've heard great things about their dinner AND they got a really cool speakeasy that's Asian fusion

    Voodoo Bayou is definitely a vibe. Went for Oyster Wednesday to celebrate a friend's solar return, and honestly got stuck on the oysters because they were that good -- fresh, flavorful, and I couldn't get enough. The service was great -- friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I also tried the Vicki Vallencourt (Strawberries, Lemon & Honey) mocktail, which was super delightful and refreshing. There was live music too -- the guy playing was ok, but the oysters and the whole bayou vibe carried the night. Definitely coming back!

    Another great meal at Voodoo Bayou. I've been shocked that the last few times we came here for weekend brunch we were able to be seated immediately without a reservation. The Cajun food is amazing and they gave me plenty of champagne for my bottomless mimosas this time. We will miss this restaurant when we move.

    BBQ shrimp
    Larry S.

    Interaction at the hostess stand was exceptional. Checked in for my dinner reservation for 2 people. It was not a problem for staff as I waited for my guest to arrive late. The hostess wasn't sure about a question I posed. Before we were seated she contacted a manager and got back to. The table service was also great. Nice job Kelcy. We enjoyed the BBQ shrimp and the flavorful sauce it was cooked in. The red fish fillet was cooked to perfection in their pizza oven. It doesn't really matter to me anymore but 2 appetizers, 1 entree and 1 draft beer with tax and tip was $109.

    Cajun Carbonara*
    Jeimy P.

    Food was great, ambiance was definitely straight out of a vampire movie/ show if you like the vibe (which I do). Our service could have been a little bit better but not all bad.

    Jambalaya (with added crawfish) - A smoky, spicy mix of shrimp, andouille, chicken, okra, peppers, tomatoes, and Tasso ham

This location is in Dr Phillips and in one of my favorite plazas. Upon entering I expected it to be smoky and unbearable but it was actually opposite. After grabbing a seat near the bar and tvs , we ordered a few drinks and then I was surprised by my big cousin who has his brand of cigars there! Everyone that worked there was really nice and I was given a nice tour through the selections of cigars and all the accessories. I decided to smoke one of my cousins cigars ( Leon Searcy ) while we watched the FIFA games and vibed out. I loved that there were other women enjoying cigars and we ended up sitting on the couch networking before heading out. There are locations downtown Orlando and lake Mary as well but this location is convenient for me. I will definitely comeback , it's a vibe !

As much as we enjoyed the atmosphere and service, we expected a bit more from the food. The drinks were just average, and the calamari appetizer lacked the crispiness we were hoping for. We also ordered our steaks medium, but they arrived closer to medium-well. While I enjoy that the steaks has some fat for flavor, it was way to much. We didn't make an issue of it because the steaks were still flavorful, and we were genuinely enjoying ourselves. Now let me tell you about the star of the evening, the Blue Crab Fingers! Whoever decided to put these on the menu deserves an award. They were packed with flavor, and the toasted bread was the perfect accompaniment. Dipped into that delicious sauce, every bite was absolutely incredible. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée. It was just okay. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday dinner and enjoyed our experience. While there were a few misses with some of the food, those Blue Crab Fingers alone are enough to bring us back again!

The ordering process is simple, you place your order with the cashier at the front. During the dinner rush, expect a long line, but it moves at a steady pace. If you visit during off peak hours, ordering is much quicker. After placing your order, you find a table, and a server brings your food directly to you. For our meal, we ordered: Ribs - They had a rich smoky flavor with a perfectly seasoned dry rub, and the barbecue sauce added just the right amount of sweetness and tang. Brisket - The brisket was cooked perfectly with a flavorful bark on the outside and a moist, tender center. Every bite was packed with smoky goodness and melted in your mouth. Sliced Turkey - The sliced turkey was surprisingly moist and full of flavor. It had a light smoky taste and was anything but dry, making it an excellent choice alongside the other meats. What impressed me most was how quickly our food arrived, even with the restaurant being busy. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, the dining area was clean, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. If you're visiting Disney Springs and craving quality barbecue without the wait of a table service restaurant, The Polite Pig is an excellent choice. I would definitely eat here again.
