AJ's on the Bayou provides a mix of experiences based on recent visitors. The staff received mixed reviews, but many praise servers for being friendly, attentive, and efficient. The outdoor bar area is a highlight, featuring excellent frozen drinks like the Lava Flow and a fun, casual atmosphere with great music. Live entertainment, trivia night, and Sunday brunch are popular, with amazing views of the bayou, sometimes including dolphins. Some guests love the reasonably priced, well-prepared food, like the chicken piccata and Tuesday tacos, while others note room for improvement in consistency. The seating, particularly the old plastic wicker chairs, could use an upgrade, yet the decor remains fun and fascinating. The bar area is perfect for college football, with TVs everywhere and live music in the evenings. Overall, AJ's on the Bayou offers a pleasant dining experience with a lively vibe, making it a great choice for locals and vacationing families alike.
