Love voodoo bayou. Ambiance is great. Food is great. But I come here pretty frequently for the beignets. They recently updated them. Smaller portions and not as good. Unless they go back to the old beignets won't go out of my way to get them. read more

Voodoo Bayou - Updated beignets aren't as good :( - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

One of the best dining experiences I have had. Coming from Atlanta we have a ton of great Cajun options but this really impressed. Everything from the ambiance to the food and even the service was phenomenal. Great dining room area with both an outdoor and indoor bar. We sat with the bartender AB that immediately greeted us with waters and their menu. They are currently running a pick 2 for $15.99 menu that has some pretty great options. We had 2 meals & chose the wings, blackened shrimp po boy with the small gumbo's. Wings were super crispy, juicy, and tender. With a nice light Smokey taste. They buffalo and blue cheese sauce was actually pretty impressive. The po boy had a good amount of shrimp to bread ratio, with a nice sauce included. The gumbo had a deep rich flavor, but was not overly heavy with fatty meats. We were also informed of the happy hour oyster special, so we ended up getting a few of the rockerfella and raw. The rockerfella was amazing with melty cheese, a nice garlic flavor, & served with crispy bread slices. The raw came with crackers, lemon, wine vinegar, and a tasty cocktail sauce. Both were delicious. Marco, the manager came and spoke with us about our experience which really showed the attention to detail this restaurant offers. After sharing our story of visiting New Orleans a few years ago and bragging about the beignets, he brought us 2 out to finish our meal. I have to say, these were better than the ones I've had at cafe beignet in NOLA. They were HOT out the fryer to the point where the powdered sugar was slightly melted. Crisp outside dough but gooey soft in the center. A unreal experience to end a fantastic meal. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Luckily my sister lives 5 mins from this place but I would easily drive a hour or 2 when visiting from out of town just for this experience. Marco and AB really went above and beyond to make sure this was a special outing on a regular ole' Monday, and we could not have left happier. read more

After seriously underestimating the Florida heat and walking a mile and a half to Voodoo, the experience was worth every step. From the moment we walked in, the welcome was freakin' awesome. The New Orleans vibe was absolutely on point and set the tone for a great meal. Our waitress was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. She recommended her favorite dish, and it ended up becoming my favorite too. Now, I'm a country boy, so the deviled eggs just weren't my style, but everything else more than made up for it. The cornbread was incredible. Honestly, I couldn't decide if I was eating cake or cornbread--it was that good. The barbecue shrimp was outstanding and easily one of my favorite dishes (our waitress clearly has great taste!). The fried oysters were cooked to perfection, and the baked chicken was seasoned and prepared just right. The gator tail was great with the sauce. I've had scalloped potatoes many times over the years, but these were on another level--definitely some for the record books. If you're looking for great food, an authentic New Orleans atmosphere, and excellent service, Voodoo is absolutely worth the visit. read more

To start, parking was not easy on a Saturday night. We made a reservation and when we walked to the hostess stand to check in, I was told "okay, my coworker is going to seat that party, that party, that party, that party and that party and then you". My family and I then waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The ambiance is pretty cool and I like how the tables are spaced apart enough where you don't feel like you're part of someone else's group. The food was actually disappointing though. Deviled eggs were surprisingly flavorless and lacking in any identifiable seasoning. The menu stated they were garnished with caviar, however, it was maybe 2-3 actual pieces per egg. Disappointment would be a recurring sentiment throughout our meal. I had the shrimp and crawsfish etouffee and was ultimately disappointed. The flavor was strange and again, not identifiable seasoning-wise. Our kids enjoyed their food, so that was a positive note. The baby had pasta and green beans with pink lemonade and seemed to have really enjoyed his evening, taking in the atmosphere while enjoying his dinner. However, they do not have burgers on the kids menu and when we asked about it, our waitress initially said it shouldn't be a problem since they have sliders on their happy hour menu and they would probably be able to just do that. She disappeared to ask her manager and came back 45 seconds later with a resounding no, and that we could only get it and he charged for the burger off the entree menu. Ultimately, the only thing that really was positive was the atmosphere, but even that isn't enough to drive up to gardens for. read more

I was in town for a work trip and decided to try this place out for lunch. The service was awesome! My server talked me through the menu, and suggested the etouffee but substituting cheese grit for the rice. It was amazing. The ettouffee was so flavorful with a little heat and had 4 or 5 good-sized shrimp in it along with crawfish. The cheese grits came out in a separate dish and had been broiled to get the top charred and crispy. So so good! The restaurant itself had a very unique vibe. Music was fun and at a good level. Decor was fun. Consistent theme. End of the meal, my waiter came back with two little marshmallow looking things on a tray. They he poured hot water on them and they expanded... they were hot towels for my mouth and hands. I've never seen anything like that and it was a fun, memorable way to end the meal. I would love to go back there if I'm in town again. read more

I had a great time at Voodoo Bayou for happy hour. The bar area is a nice size with both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a fun and comfortable atmosphere. The drinks were very well made, and I especially enjoyed the Snake Oil Salesman cocktail, it tasted like a delicious spicy margarita. The happy hour food specials were excellent. The baked garlic butter oysters and Rockefeller oysters were both very good and such a great deal. The deviled eggs and Gumbo Ya Ya were also full of flavor and definitely worth trying. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, a fantastic happy hour spot with great drinks, tasty food, and a lively vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

Voodoo Bayou - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

This is a neat little restaurant in a strip mall complex in West Palm Beach. There are tons of free parking spaces available in the mall's parking lot. This place is huge, with a large two-level dining area, a small stage, and a bar on the first level and another on the second. They also have televisions to watch. You will also find a decent-sized patio area connected to the bar on the first level. This place is dimly lit. The staff there was very friendly and we were seated right away. The place accepts reservations, but we did not have any. The restaurants serve all of your Creole/Southern favorites. We started with an order of deviled eggs. They were very. My kids got some chicken tenders and mac & cheese, and said they were both delicious. I leaped and got some fried oysters. They were fresh and some of the best oysters that I have ever had. And I lived in New Orleans for about 10 years. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. He kept our cups full and gave us spot-on recommendations. He was awesome. This is a nice little spot with great service, delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere. My family thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, and I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back when I make it back to West Palm. read more

Well now! Where do I start. We met some friends for lunch. 6 total. Service was fine, not great not subpar. We were warned that a salad with fried chicken strips would take a bit, but holy smokes we were half way through our lunches before the fried chicken showed up. As for me, I had the shrimp and Grits. Very cheesy and very flavorful. My wife enjoyed her salad. Sorry no pictures of the food. I was hungry. It was a great day but the only table for 6 was in the sun, so we ate inside. It was a darkened type of interior. Lots of dark wood. Just needed some more subtle lighting. Overall, it was fine but nothing to right home about. Now for the part that I didn't like. When paying the bill, the tipping options I believe started at 20%, 22% and 24%. Honestly, as soon as I saw the starting choice of 20%, I was a little miffed. I chose the custom tab and gave my own tip. If someone wasn't paying attention and only chose from the options. Seems a little sketchy. That's my in input. Take it or leave it read more

Three stars is something good and something needs improvement. The chicken wings were good. They did a good job with the way it's cooked. Crispy skin but not drying in the inside. Devil eggs were ok. Buttermilk biscuits- rock hard not flaky at all. Not much taste . Maybe pillsbury might be better The pear salad (lunch portion) - is deceiving . Literally a side dish. I would assume lunch portion is a good lunch portion , nope. I would not order for HH HH was good on drinks and wings. Service wasn't not bad. read more

We had such a great experience at Voodoo Bayou! Riley, our waiter, was amazing, super friendly, gave awesome recommendations, and checked on us often without ever being overbearing. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience. Another waitress, Kayla, even stopped by to say hello and make sure we were doing well, which made it feel so warm and welcoming, like you're hanging out in someone's living room in the best way. For food, we started with the biscuits, which were SO good, and the wood fired chili butter oysters that Riley recommended. The oysters were honestly one of the most delicious things I've had in a long time. For our mains, I had the jambalaya and my boyfriend got the Cajun carbonara, and both were incredible. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and even better service! read more

I've been to Voodoo Bayou many times for both dinner and happy hour. For context, I'm from Texas, right next door to Louisiana, so I know a little something about Cajun food. With that said, Voodoo Bayou is... just okay on the food front. Not bad, but not quite hitting the mark if you're judging by Louisiana standards. That said, I actually like the restaurant more than I like the food. The bartenders have always been cool, and I've never had issues with table service--waitstaff are generally helpful and attentive. The setup is nice too: two sides to the bar inside, part of it extending outside, plus outdoor tables, which makes it a good spot to hang out. Food-wise, the happy hour wings are genuinely delicious and probably my favorite thing on the menu. I've also had the oyster po' boy and the jambalaya, and both were just okay if you're used to stronger Cajun flavors. Overall, it's a cool spot for drinks (might need a few to feel something), atmosphere, and happy hour. I wouldn't go in expecting authentic Louisiana-level Cajun food, but it's still a pleasant place to spend time, especially if you're nearby. read more

Returned to PB a couple years later and had to eat at Voodoo! The beignets are what makes this place a must try! And the food before dessert is solid. Smoked wings were cooked perfectly!! Hint of Smoke and juicy!!! Deviled eggs w Caviar and Black Truffle are not what they are cracked up to be. Just a basic deviled egg taste. Couldnt taste and truffle or caviar. Good but Not worth the price point. Grilled Cheese Oysters were delicious!!! Came out piping hot and when eaten, the are between raw and cooked. So tender and sweet w a parm cheese crust!!! Definitely would buy again! Gumbo- was waaaaay over peppered. The flavor was good w perfectly cooked shrimp but the black pepper was overwhelming the dish. Past experiences, the Gumbo has been one of the best, but not tonight. Now the main reason to visit Voodoo. The beignets- 5 per serving, comes out piping hot covered in powder sugar!!! So light and puffy and each bite melts in your mouth. If I didnt know, I would think there was some type of creme inside! These are NOT like the donut style most places serve. These are pillows of goodness that melts in your mouth. Tip: You must eat them hot!!! If you want very good Cajun food, try Voodoo Bayou! read more

Food is amazing. Customer service also great. Comfortable ambiance. This is a five star restaurant

We have been coming here for a long time and truth be told only because of the server. We used to do brunch but the entertainment never chanythe same swamp cats every week ugh! Please just change it up every now and then I beg! We got the membership we did like the concept of the restaurant. As we wanted the live music and the brunch options were different than most. But if esteban the server was not there service was not great. Yet we sti tried to come because we were members. There lacks effort on the teams on service and the atmosphere is so bland. Even Marco grad was a huge disappointment. We started going to calvaras cantina instead. read more

Unique New Orleans style restaurant serving up tasty Cajun cuisine. The food was delicious and the presentation was nice. The decor inside is beautiful. The service was great. We started with some deviled eggs and it looked adorable. The little swirls was topped with some caviar which was a nice touch. Light and fluffy texture. My jumbo crab cake benedict came out quickly but on the way to the table, one poached egg fell off the stack and the server said he needed to bring it back and redo it. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the staff only wanted to serve their dishes at its best. Great training on Vodoo Bayou! Second plate came out beautifully and tasted delightful. It was tangy, a little spicy and full of flavor. Lots of big chunks of crab meat too. The cheddar grits was creamy and rich. Big portion for a side. Wish I lived closer so I could come more often! read more

They say time heals all wounds. Well, this wounded man that looked nothing like New Orleans cooking has found its soul. Every once in a while, I like to visit a place just to see particular in these large places that turn over the kitchen in the front pretty regularly if They're walking the walk. Today I was not disappointed. The gumbo Yaya and the red beans and rice were on point red beans and rice were a little tepid but tasty. My Vieux Carré (Voo Carray- New Orleans Indians do not do French the way the French do)) cocktail was excellent. The bar is very deep in bourbons. Ambience is excellent and service was excellent. Parking is very easy. Definitely now I will be back. read more

I used to love coming here. It was a staple and I would order it in on movie nights as a crowd favorite. We just ordered it tonight and it was disappointing to see the portions change.

Was up in palm beach for cruise looked up restaurants and reviews voodoo came up with really nice reviews and so me and my wife got here parking is tough here if coming pay 10 dollars for valet. They are on open table so reserve a table much easier. So place is very decorative with real mood lighting. Bar is very big. I ordered chicken and biscuits and my wife ordered shrimp and grits. Shrimps were good but no spice. Grits were clumpy not creamy. Now my chicken Was crunchy and well seasoned and can with hot honey on side which was really good. People around us liked what they were eating so I would say try the chicken read more

We met at the bar for happy hour (4-7) before sitting for dinner. They offer both drink and food specials. We had the cup of gumbo which was spicy but well liked by our friends, I had the friend oysters fried perfectly and the pear and pecan salad, which was way too sweet and swimming in dressing...order your dressing on the side! The bartender that cashed us out at the bar was rather rude, as we closed out our tabs before heading to our table for dinner. Our friend wanted to order one more drink while happy hour was still available, but because he was rude she decided not to. Friends had the Gumbo, BBQ Shrimp and Shrimp and Grits which was well liked and arrived hot. My Blackened Shrimp PoBoy was terrible, cold roll and cold shrimp...worst sandwich I've ever had! Hubs had the fried chicken sandwich which was not hot either, something he would not order again. The side of broccoli rabe was cold. Side of Cesar salad had dressing that was way too salty and not palpable. Luckily I asked for the dressing on the side and could control the amount. Later that night my husband realized we were overcharged for our drink. They said they will make an adjustment back to our cc. We will be back but stick with the good dishes and check your bill. read more

First off inside of the restaurant is probably one of the coolest places I have ever dined at! I love the dim lighting, that's is one of my personal faves that I enjoy at a restaurant.

Very yummy and they have a great deal for them during happy hour. The margaritas are ok! And my favorite drink is this milk punch drink, very yummy! read more

FOOD/DRINK: 5/5 SERVICE: 5/5 EXPERIENCE: 5/5 I will premise this with that this is a place that you go to every once in a while or on vacation, as it is both expensive and rich food. It was pretty on par with DC pricing imho. It feels like you have stepped into a Lousiana themed bar, in the best way possible. Dark lighting and a slightly eerie feeling really adds to it. We have now been to Voodoo Bayou twice and both times were impeccable. The service is attentive, kind, and even help out with suggestions on the menu. I ordered the blackberry lemonade and it originally got confused with the black magic lemonade, which has alcohol in it. Our server was super apologetic and I get it - they are similarly named. I think they should change one of the names. The lemonade was very refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. Hubby got a guava infused lager, which he really liked. For entrees, I got the fried chicken and biscuit, while hubby got the cajun carbonara. The fried chicken was very crispy and spiced appropriately (read: not spicy), yet very moist! I chose to do all white meat, which an upcharge but very worth it. The biscuit was buttery and luscious. The meal came with hot honey to drizzle over it. Hubby's carbonara was deemed too rich and cheesy so he ate half of my chicken and some of his pasta. Honestly, we could have shared an entree - they were that big!! Now for the REAL reason you come - the beignets!!! The beignets were absolute perfection. Reasonable amount of powdered sugar, pillowy soft, and served warm. Heaven. This is a must order! We will be back but we don't come here every time we come to WPB since we kinda have to be in the mood for it. read more

Overall a decent experience out. The food, however, was missing the "heart and soul" associated with New Orleans cuisine. Kinda' institutional on flavors and hidden in overuse of their sauces.

I went to Voodoo with a small group. I got to eat or try the Gator bites, garlic shrimp, Shrimp & grits, beignets, ice cream sundae! All the food had a great robust Cajun flavor and everything was cooked excellently! There was smokiness, richness and nothing was overpowering. The old fashioned was smoked at the table and the ice cream sundae was MASSIVE!! I could only eat 1/4 of it. I loved the candied nuts stashed in the center. The single best item was by and far the beignets! They were soft and doughy and sweet and melt in your mouth amazing!!! So good we went back the next day for some beignets to go!
