We were on the waitlist for Neyows (30-40 mins) and were looking at the outside menu for this place. The man who ended up being our waiter welcomed us inside and made us feel very at home immediately. The food came really quickly. Everything was really clean; the menus had just been sanitized, everything came in disposable dinnerware ... read more

This is my 3rd time dining at Bayou Bistro. The food is so delicious I was compelled to write a review. Because of Covid-19 I don't care to dine out, so I am eating as I type!! Bayou Bistro deserves a 10 for the taste alone. I ordered the Bayou Catfish and the seafood sauce is lick your plate good! The vegetables are slap yo Momma s ... read more

Incredible Cajun food and warm reception. The waitress was very kind and made sure we knew what seperated their food from typical New Orleans-style food. Helped me pick out dishes such as the Seafood Dip and Fettucine. The dip (A creamy sauce layered with shrimp and other assorted seafood served with bread) is a must try. Will come b ... read more

We've tried jambalaya at a few places in NOLA as well as the bread pudding. Both of the dishes forementioned here are Ah-mazing! The Bayou Bistro has many delicious dishes! Shrimp Fettuccine, Seafood dip, Shrimp Basin (Po' Boy), BBQ shrimp, the seafood bisque, gumbo (those are dishes we've tried here) and many others!! You ... read more

Came on trip to New Orleans from out of town. Went here after trying to get into Neyow's two nights in a row. Came with a group of 8, got seated right away. The staff was friendly. The food was hot and delicious. They follow covid procedures. It's a hidden gem!

We were on a 45 minute wait at neyow's and decided to get an appetizer at this spot while we waited. We decided to try the crabcakes and they were excellent. We got them within 10 minutes and paid with Amex and were back next door at Neyow's with time to spare. Our experience was such that we decided to try them for dinner on our nex ... read more

Nice ladies behind the bar! They were real busy when we came (during Mardi Gras) so food took a little bit but it was worth it! Great seafood dip. Removed 2 stars because we ordered 2 bloody marys and 1 beer, but were given 3 bloody marys. They then got the beer and told my sister to drink the 3rd and still charged us for the 3rd ev ... read more

I received a sample of seafood gumbo and crawfish bisque. It was good. This place is nowhere near as crowded as the creole restauraunt next door, but the food is definitly good.

Classic entrees of shrimp and grits and jumbalia that were excellent. Great meal for adventurous teenagers too. Fun for first time visitors to New Orleans.

Best place to eat in New Orleans if you’re looking for authentic cajun food. The server Alvin provided the best possible experience for us. Cared extremely for the our taste buds and not wanted us to buy the most expensive item on the menu. Would highly recommend!!!

This place is amazing! My family and I originally tried to go to the more famous restaurant next door for a family Christmas dinner, and after waiting over an hour to be seated and being laughed at by staff when we complained, we decided to try this place out instead. The friendliness of the staff at Bayou Bistro completely turned ou ... read more

This place is the real deal. We had the seafood dip to start. It took a little while to come out and we figured out why. THEY MADE THE TORTILLAS FOR DIPPING while we sat there and it was worth every single second we waited. We were literally scraping and licking the plates when we were done. Next came the poor boys. They were perfect ... read more

Excellent food and service. Our server had a great sense of humor and he put the kids order in first to make sure they got their food first. The seafood dip is awesome and is served with homemade fried tortillas. The gumbo and jambalaya are also fantastic.

I'll admit that we originally tried to go to the restaurant next door, and when we couldn't get in, we dragged our hungry selves next door to the Bayou Bistro. We didn't know what to expect, but we were greeted with delicious food, amazing and friendly staff, and a great music playlist.
