Man! I really wanted to love this place! I do like the ambiance, but wasn't crazy about the music. The best things were our server, Tony, the drinks, the scalloped potatoes and the Beignets. For apps, we ordered the deviled eggs and the wood-fire oysters. The eggs were just okay and the oysters were small. The seasoning was good on them but the oysters were too small for all the seasoning on them. The Drinks were really good. We ordered the voodoo child and the voodoo smoked old fashioned. Tony was very attentive to make sure that the drinks were the way we wanted them and we ended up having 2. For entrees, we ordered the shrimp and crawfish étouffée with sausage and the Cajun ribeye. I could've done without the sausage. The sides were scalloped potatoes and the charred okra. The étouffée was just okay. There was barely any crawfish in it and not enough rice to soak up the sauce. The ribeye wasn't bad, it was tasty. The scalloped potatoes were some of the best I've tasted in a while. But the okra...it was to salty and barely cooked and unfortunately did a number on my stomach. They took it off the bill. We ordered the monkey bread, but the manager said that it wasn't made to his liking to be served so that's why we ended up with the beignets and I did not regret it. They were so delicious. I've never been to New Orleans so I couldn't compare the food to it, but I was told that I shouldn't compare it because it's not the same. Although I didn't rate them high this time, I would go back and try some other items on the menu. They deserve another chance. read more

Amazing service and both drinks and food are out of the this bayou a must try. A big thank you to Dan and Luis for always making fun to come here read more

The restaurant looks great, but there's a lot to be desired. I must have been one of the unlucky ones because service was lackluster the day I went. Our server was slow, and since it wasn't busy, all of the servers kept hanging out near the line. One of my dining companions asked for sauce during the meal and it took her close to 10 minutes. I wouldn't have minded that if it was actually busy. I didn't like the waffle for the chicken n waffles, but it's more of a preference. I got charged more for all dark meat. The pasta was good, but definitely overpriced. The beignets were kinda hollow. I feel like because gratuity is already included regardless of how many people are in your party that some servers don't care as much as others. read more

Loved the ambience, food, service and drinks. Such a unique place. There are chairs that take you back to a speakeasy and they often have live music too. read more

Great place and food! so nice inside! Beautiful and unique decoration I had the "SHRIMP & CRAWFISH ÉTOUFFÉE" and it was fantastic! Very tasty!!!!! The house side salad with apples was also delicious. My friend had the "BRICK OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN" and it was a big portion! When she brought my bill, I noticed the price was incorrect - I asked, and she tells me they gave me the brunch menu but the $28 was the right price for my dish - guess what? Not my fault! They wanted me to pay for their mistake? no way! I asked for the manager - he never came to the table - so after waiting for like 15 minutes, she came with the right amount bill. They charge 18% automatically in all the checks. Their prices are reasonable besides the $12 mocktails. why??? Regardless the inconvenience, it's a great place with great food! read more

Voodoo Bayou - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The food was excellent, as well as the service. Although pricey (they offered a $230 shot), it was well worth it. They also offer a modern day version of the speakeasy behind a wall that rotates. The ambiance is rather dim, with a gothic decor. Although it was the only cocktail lounge I went to in Orlando, it is officially my favorite. read more

Very dark environment. Hard to see the menu. The bartenders provided good service. Foods were terrible. Both the étouffée and jambalaya had too much rice which is overcooked. read more

AMAZING service. Went on Halloween night and I loved seeing all the staff in costumes. The live music made it such a good atmosphere. The FOOD was to die for. I only had the Mac and cheese but then a server dropped off a plate of fried green tomatoes that was not made to order and gave it to us on the house. It was immediately devoured. Drinks were a nice size. Overall, a bit pricey but the experience, food quality, and decor makes up for it. Definetly returning!! read more

Where do I begin about this review everything from the moment that you walked in your immersed in a New Orleans themed environment, where New Orleans comes to life and you have the unique decorations throughout the restaurant that are actually brought from different parts of New Orleans and craft it to have a feel of New Orleans. Our server Tony was excellent. We really enjoyed his company and him walking us through the menu to explore different food options for each of us. I got the Cajun pasta, which was absolutely amazing and I got a side of the cajun fries, which were very tasty and crispy and came in a unique basket. I paired it with their signature that comes in an Elvira cup. we got to check out the speakeasy before we left and it was absolutely amazing once you walk in your immersed a beautiful almost cemetery vibes with lots of flowers, beautiful flowers, and a water fountain. Can't wait to come back to try more food options and also check out the speakeasy to have a drink or maybe even dine in the speakeasy room. It was absolutely beautiful. We can't wait to bring friends and hopefully host a Yelp event here in the future. This place will be really great during Halloween and to do Halloween events such as like drag shows or horror theme shows or even jazz bands. read more

They are selling atmosphere. The place is very cool looking. Love the vibe and is clean. There is way too much staff on hand for the service we received, but the food is not that good. Our server was pleasant and great with keeping our drinks full. Our biscuit came out first with our salad. Biscuit was too dry and kinda hard for me. I used most of the honey butter just for 1 biscuit. The peas salad was outstanding, fresh, and small for a dinner salad. The crayfish etoufee was not that spicy. The roasted chicken was juicy, and the bones were removed, so that is a nice touch. The rice was cooked nice, and the greens were salty. The scalloped potatoes were burnt, and the cream had separated a bit. Our monkey bread came with ice cream, which they brought out right away but had almost melted by the time the waitress checked on us. We told her we never got the bread. They had to put the order thru again, and this time, no ice cream. We just gave up. Go here for the atmosphere and the vibe.. read more

Voodoo Bayou - Street Corn Cesar Salad - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I want to start by saying that our service and server was absolutely fantastic!! I was also to see that both managers were friendly, sincere, and rectified our issues immediately! My friends and I were so excited to meet here for dinner! We had a reservation and were seated immediately after we arrived. We were impressed by the decor and the vibe. Their drink menu was awesome and offered unique beverages. Order the Lavender Love Spell and Black Magic lemonade were so good! Our meals started off strong with apps and cocktails. There were 3 of use and we each got something to share. The devil eggs were delicious. They were different from any other deviled egg I have had before. I would recommend. The BBQ shrimp were amazing! The bread that came with it was the perfect vessel to dip into the flavorful sauce. The oyster rockerfeller were grea too, but my least favorite of the three. It went down hill from there. I had the oster po"boy with red beans and rice. The red beans and rice were ice cold. I did something that I have don't usually do, I sent it back. As I waited, I took a bite of my sandwich, but was quickly disappointed, as the fried oysters were soggy. Because I just retuned the rice, I didn't want to be a pain and return the po'boy too. My friend had the salmon and it had a hair in it. She sent it back and the manager came right away to offer apologies and offer something else instead. She declined. Last was beignets for dessert. They were undercooked! Another manager now came and apologized and even went as far as to go back make them himself. The second time, they were cooked to perfection. Maybe it was just a bad night, but overall, I did leave disappointed in the meal as a whole, especially because for me alone my bill was almost $100. I never have a problem splurging on a great meal, but for one that was just ok, maybe not! read more

I was expecting more from my food order but it fell very short from my expectations. The chicken and waffles were not very good, the portions of chicken was adequate but it was full of batter and the chicken was bland. The waffles were only 2 pieces. My wife had the herb chicken and it was ok nothing special. The waffle fries were over fried. My daughter had the Mac and cheese with a side order of grilled chicken, this was ok. Overall disappointing experience with the food. read more

Had the brick oven roasted chicken with collard greens. That was good! Rice was bland, no flavor. wish they had dirty rice like Popeyes used to make. We also had good service. read more

Love going to voodoo Bayou. I know I'm not remembering the name correctly but it's something like the poor man's caviar or something like that and I add steak. It's phenomenal and creamy and consistent. The wait staff all work together whether they're your server or not and it's near flawless. Sitting at the bar is always a fun experience as the bartenders really get into making their fancy drinks and they're always delicious. The decorum is incredible And I look forward to going back. If you go on the weekend, make sure to get a reservation or be prepared to wait a little while so it's a very popular place and always a good time. read more

The decor drew us in and while the food was very good, albeit overpriced for basic NoLa cuisine, the dance music blasting over the speakers the WHOLE time was completely unnecessary and ruins the mood/vibes. Feels more like they wanted to capitalize on a niche look for the Instagram crowd as oppose to providing an authentic restaurant experience. read more

Biscuits and jam were very good. Service was great. Cute, lively place with character.

After enjoying Roka Hula, we had high hopes for the restaurant next door. The theming was nice, not sure what the stage is for, as there was no entertainment on a Sunday but, the food was way overpriced and not memorable. I've made better jambalaya, and for $32 it was subpar. My husband got a chicken Cobb salad that was meh and didn't have enough dressing. My mother in law didn't finish her carbonara but she didn't seem impressed either. I'd stay away from the dishes we got. The Cajun ribeye is $57 so, may as well spend the money on that over what we got for the ticket price. Service was great, wine and whiskey and bourbon choices were great, cocktails were great so, I'd say go to the bar for drinks! Also, I cannot stand a a fork dish if I'm supposed to use my fingers to take the tail off a shrimp. I understand some people do this but, I'd recommend taking the tails off for the jambalaya. Leave that for shrimp cocktail. The oysters were fine. I would love to but, will not come back to eat here unless some price changes were made, as in $18 for the jambalaya not $32, and other options were more affordable. Ambiance was excellent! #voodoobayou #orlandoeats #foodie #neworleans #cocktails #cajun read more

I was invited to a family and friends opening for this restaurant that I also had no idea about. They haven't done much marketing, but there has been tons of word-of-mouth and despite the lack of marketing, I have to say I was completely blown away. The drinks were pretty cute and beautiful decorated glasses. The food was season, so well presentation was amazing the Attention to detail for Gotham and New Orleans decor was phenomenal and they do have a little secret speakeasy that hasn't been opened yet, but I cannot wait to enjoy. We had a server named Kyle and he was absolutely amazing. I was able to try the catfish, which was delicious and got to order a scotch bonnet, pepper house sauce. We also ordered the jambalaya which was beyond flavorful great portion of meat and shrimp. The Cajun meatballs were housemaid And spicy on a bed of grits beyond delicious. I also was able to try the monkey bread which was about the size of my head so please be prepared for the portion size of desserts. Unfortunately, beignets are sold out by the time we were ordering dessert. Safe to say, I will be back soon. read more

Voodoo Bayou definitely gives you a Nawlins vibe in FL!! If you dine here please make sure you make a reservation on OpenTable because the wait times can get up to 1 1/2 hours on the weekends. You can also dine at the bar area, but that's first come, first serve. If you would like to partake in the speakeasy that's reservation only! So plan accordingly! Parking was crowded, because they share a parking lot with Ruth Chris Steakhouse. They do offer valet if you can't find parking. Now on to the food and drinks!! I'm a huge bourbon/whiskey fan and their smoked old fashioned was sooo good!! I tried the chargrilled oysters and they were yummy. I just wish they gave you more for the price. The biscuits were delicious Plus the deviled eggs were delicious as well. The gumbo was delicious and you knew someone made some good rue for it! We were gifted some beignets to try and they are made from scratch in the morning. So they were very delicious!! I forgot I wasn't in Louisiana for a second. The owner was very nice and friendly!! The bartenders Mike & Mike kept our drinks filled and took great care of us!! Overall I would definitely recommend this new restaurant in Orlando for locals and tourists to try out!! Enjoy!! read more

Special birthday brunch and what a treat it was! Delicious food and drinks. Josh was fantastic and had great suggestions. Will be back for sure! Thanks! read more

First of all our server was amazing. His name was Josh and I appreciated all of his suggestions and comments. However the food was so mid. We have 5 kids and we barely have time to have date night. Tonight we decided to try this place out and for the price and quality it was so disappointing. The food was bland and my chicken was under cooked. My husband and I are both servers in the industry over 15 years and we know the ins and outs. Josh was beyond amazing but the actual quality of the food was so disappointing. I really thought this place would be better than just a place to take nice pictures at. His carbonara wasn't even that good and since we don't send food back he just tried his best to eat it but over all just left most of it. I can honestly say we won't be coming back. It's just not worth it. Maybe lower the price to match the taste ..... also if it matters every check is automatically charged 18% tip we added more because it's not our servers fault we didn't like our food. His service was perfect . But just putting it out there ! read more

I was in town for a conference, and decided to check this place out based on the great reviews. I was extremely disappointed. I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and a Caesar side salad. They were both underwhelming. The Oysters Rockefeller was luke-warm, and the accompanying garlic bread was burnt. The Caesar salad was small. It had a couple pieces of wilted lettuce, but that wasn't the worst part. It was covered in corn and topped with sliced avocado! It was the weirdest combination. I don't like to send food back, as I am always afraid of what they'll do to it in the kitchen when someone complains. My friend ordered a Shrimp Po-Boy that she took two bites out of and stated she didn't really care for it. I was honest with the waitress when she asked how the meal was. On a positive note, the ambiance was nice. I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, it fell WAY short. I will not return and do not recommend. P.S. We were a party of 2 and the gratuity was included in the check. Just be aware that the gratuity is already included in your check. read more
