9 Best Seafood Restaurants in Bayou La Batre

“I’m from out of state and was introduced to Bayou Seafood Company LLC by my wife and her family—and I have to say, this place is a true gem! We absolutely loved the crab legs—perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and just fell apart like butter. But the real surprise? The shrimp. Where I’m from, we get tiny little shrimp… but here? These suckers are HUGE! And not just big, but juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection. My wife is a gumbo eater she loves their gumbo me on the other hand can deal without but I trust that it’s great!

Everything we tried had amazing flavor, clearly made with love and real Southern soul. You can tell they take pride in their seafood, and it shows. If you’re ever in the area, don’t miss out on this spot. We’ll definitely be back every chance we get!“

“A great Bayou la Batre type restaurant with good food and service. If you want all of the frills that you'll most likely pay extra, go to a Franchised restaurant in the city and miss all of the shrimp boats and ship builders in the area. Sure they make a mistake every once and awhile, many are far worse since covid. I like it !“

“We are staying on Dauphin Island but heard this restaurant is very good. We took a little drive to try it out. Definitely glad we did. Worth the quick drive from the island. We had 3 kids and 4 adults. The kids had cheeseburgers and fries. The adults had fantail shrimp, shrimp po boys and chicken tenders. The shrimp was fantastic! My sister said the chicken tenders were so good. Not frozen ones. 😄 The staff was very friendly and took care of us. The decorations and environment is welcoming and fun to look at. We will definitely be back.“

“Rodney has the best fresh shrimp of the boats, while your there even they are unloading!!!Great people and even have a bar on site to wet your whistle from the excitement of your fresh find and prices are unrealWell worth a stop in by all means!!!“

“Always received great quality oysters & service from CBOC. Highly recommend!“

“What else can I say but WOW. We stopped by for a dozen shucked oysters on a half shell and we're not disappointed. The oysters were smooth and buttery with just the slightest hint of brine. No need to add salt, these are perfect just the way they are. Friendly staff and some of the best tasting oysters I've ever had. They are family owned and operated with a unique story. Don't miss out on this gem. Stop by, have you a dozen and don't forget a t-shirt! You won't regret it“
