This is a great place for a unique taste, there aren't many other NOLA style restaurants around. I would recommend doing a reservation for any night of the week because this place it popular. Everything I had was delicious, especially the cornbreadappetizer and I made sure I saved room for dessert, a brownie sundae! I would definitely recommend to anyone!

The Nashville Mac&Cheese was bomb ???? Though eating it all very quickly gave me a bit of a tummy ache haha The menu was full of amazing comfort foods, but I had to get my go-to out of the way. Looking forward to Chicken&Waffles next time — and there willbe a next time! Staff was very friendly, and were friendly with my buddy’s dog in sitting outside. Only complaint I couldthink of is that the walk-in “waiting” space doesn’t exist, so as I waited to ask the hostess a question, two more groupsof patrons arrived and we were scattered to just stand in the middle of the restaurant, with tables of patrons eating aroundus. Didn’t hurt me none, just food for thought! Thanks again for the good eats ????

This restaurant is incredible!! We wanted to try a local spot after a trip to the casino and we are so thrilled that we did. The menu is unique and has lots of options. My husband, who is not a huge foodie, ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich... he saidit was the best thing he's ever eaten. Hush puppies were amazing and so were jalapeño grits. We will definitely be taking thedrive back to eat here again, delicious!!

On a road trip from Ohio, we saw The Bayou and stopped in to try it out. We didn’t have reservations, but we found a place at the bar, even though most of the tables were empty. They said they had lots of reservations, which we understood, but all thosetables remained empty through our hour long stay there. The perogies are an amazing appetizer and would recommend to anyone. Mywife and I both had Cajun dishes. While they were really good, they seemed to be missing a kick I was expecting.
