This place is ABSOLUTELY a must visit when in New Orleans. Melissa, our waitress was so sweet and the service overall was the best we’ve experienced in the city so far. And the food…. I don’t have the words… JUST GO TRY IT! Really authentic and soulful stuff, great small business that deserves your money!

Alvin, our cook and server was definitely on point. Meeting and talking with the owner "Mr. Bruce aka Mr. B" was the highlight of our visit. The man knows where "All the skeletons of N.O. is bury."😅😅😅 ... read more

Walked over after drinking on the bayou a bit, the waiter (Will i think was his name) was awesome. it was kinda late and we were the only ones in, he brought out extra bisques and jambalaya for us to try. I got the catfish po'boy and it was really good, it wasn't a massive portion or anything but it was fried well and so far is the b ... read more

Exceptional service, amazing food, and wonderful atmosphere. Everything is well seasoned, drinks are good and strong and music is soulful. I feel like I’m at my Grandparents house, it’s that comfortable. I don’t highly recommend a lot of places but THIS IS IT!! Ask for Angela!

It's a hidden family owned and operated gem located next to a landmark cafe. Food was excellent!
Stacy Easy via google.com - Mar 27, 2021
Baaaaby everything was SO good. We started out at the restaurant next door but the wait was ridiculous so we headed to Bayou Bistro. The service, food and drinks was awesome. I'm a local with friends visiting from Atlanta and this WAS THE BEST PLACE for them to try authentic NOLA food and service.
Tanya Ralph via google.com - Mar 20, 2021
Service was a little slow, but very cordial and friendly. The food made up for it as well. Could utilize seating a little better due to covid, rather than seating next to each other when all other tables are empty.

Phenomenal food, staff and Chef! Will definitely return often.

Went one night to have drinks and a more intimate atmosphere. Music was classic 90's R&B. The bartender was great and very engaging. The lady at the door was so sweet. One place I'll revisit. Felt local not tourist like.

Great food. Great service. Catfish poboy was great but my wife's shrimp and grits was even better. Looking forward to going back.

Dealing with Covid but still worth going. Support those that are struggling to stay open
We had a party of three on Thanksgiving week for lunch. This was our first time there and pretty much selected Bayou Bistro by other reviews on-line. Our primary goal was to avoid the quarter as much as possible. We were not disappointed. I must...start with that the restaurant is trying to deal with Covid as much as everyone el ... read more

My friend and I were in town and just happened upon this little jewel of a restaurant. The people who worked there were absolutely amazing. Super sweet. Didn’t miss a beat serving you.

Not gunna lie, I was a little unsure when I first walked in. It was empty and quiet but we gave it a chance anyway. Let me tell you, we were not disappointed! We had the bowl of gumbo, crab cakes, and an order of the chicken with mac and cheese. It was all delicious. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. All made to order on the spot a ... 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!
