Da'Bayou Creole Kitchen

It’s really disappointing the service has gone south. We walked in and saw dirty tables, dirty bar while staff members were outside smoking. To top it off we sat at the bar and even though only 2 other patrons were there, we were not greeted. Nonetheless we walked out. Management needs to get the staff trained or get better staff else this place is not going to survive and that would be a shame because the food is very good.

amazing food and Chef is great. Have a hurricane.

Exceptional service and incredible food! I was blown away by the chef. This is definitely a must try (& must repeatedly revisit!)

This place is GREAT! We ordered so many things, and everything we as incredible and full of really great, authentic creole flavor. Definitely comparable to the best food I ever had in New Orleans. Service was great, we had Paris as our waitress (I think, I have really bad hearing... sorry Paris/whatever your name is ) and she was wonderful. Perfect, 5/5 all around.

The food and our waitress Brianna saved this place because whem we first walked in, we stood at the host desk for a while and no one came over so we walked in a bit and then stopped and asked someone if we seat ourselves?A young kid finally came over, said nothing to us at all...went and got menus and then started walking fast towards the back area of restaurant...i wasnt sure if we were supposed to follow him or what...then he turned back around and came toward us and sat us. Didn't seem friendly at all. I'm big on customer service and friendliness so I was already a little perturbed.Brianna came over and made up for that. We placed our ordernfor some appetizers and drinks. We orded the smothered fries (i think they were called?) And fried green tomatoes. She came over a little while later to say they were out of the sauce they needed for the fries. ... that was a bummer as it was only about 7:30 at night but perhaps its a popular dish.It took a while but when we finally tried the tomatoes, they were to die for! I've tried them once before at another creole restaurant and i did not like them at all so i was hesitant to try these but their description sounded yummy! They were deep fried in a hush puppy batter with a delicious spicy cream sauce. OmG.We placed our order and then proceeded to wait forever. I was getting annoyed as i watched another table come in, order and get their food before our table. Im assuming the place was lacking kitchen staff??Anyway the stuffed potato with crab, shrimp, crawfish in a creole cream sauce. Holy shiz nit was this good.We also tried the shrimp and grits and the shrimp creole. The food was heavenly! I have nothing negative to say about the food at all!The only think this place needs to improve on is to make sure your employees are acknowledging people at the door and either make sure your servers are checking with kitchen staff on the length of time it takes to get an order out. It didnt seem very busy while we were there as there were a lot of empty tables but who knows.I cant wait to go back for that food!

Delicious food! Great environment and music! The Server Juan was Awesome !!Will definitely eat here again!Gater bits oh so tenders yum!And the others were delicious!!!

Fantastic food. Shrimp and grits was the best I have ever had. Husband said fried oysters were cooked perfectly. Arrive early if you want to be seated faster. High top and low tables available. Nice welcoming staff.

We booked for a 30+ group for a Happy Hour and we all spent a perfect time. The staff was great (special thanks to Valentin), food was yummy and cocktails a must!

New flavor, not much lettuce in salad. We had the brussel sprouts, fried green tomatoes and small house for two. Of the three the salad was my least favorite and even it I would consider again. We added blackened chicken which covered the whole small salad. Menu says there were supposed to be croutons. Don't think we found them. The fried onions were a great texture and flair addition.Hard to believe Brussel sprouts can taste that good. Initially we felt they would be dry but turned out to be great. Even tried then with some ranch dressing and decided better as served. Fried green tomatoes were perfectly crispy, great flavor, and the sauce added just the right about of kick even for a whimp.

The food is out of this world and why I'll go back! Service needs work. They are friendly but slow and seemed to gather around each other and talk verses serve people in a timely manner.

good food, really liked the alligator bites

Great atmosphere awesome service and the food was amazing. I have a new favorite restaurant. Five stars isn’t a high enough rating for this place. I can’t wait to come back.

For a Saturday afternoon I was surprised as how empty it was and ut could just be because of Covid.. service was fast...waiter was nice...shrimp n grits were good...everything else was ok...

We were really excited about this place, but it didn’t live up to what we expected. The server was really great but the food had no flavor and was just so so. The atmosphere felt off, they were blasting country music which killed the southern vibe. We will come again to try something else but the catfish basket was just ok.

Craving for some grilled Redfish, fried gator and fried oysters! Everything was delish! FYI, side of rice can be shared by 2 to 3 people. It was also a little undercooked for my taste. The fried oysters were of shareable size as well.
