AJ's on the Bayou offers a mix of experiences based on recent visitors. The staff received mixed reviews, though many praise servers like Jess, Misty, Jessie, Emily, and Mike for being friendly, attentive, and efficient. The outdoor bar area is a highlight, with excellent frozen drinks like the Lava Flow and a fun, casual atmosphere featuring great music. Live entertainment, trivia night, and Sunday brunch are popular, and the views of the bayou—sometimes even dolphins—are outstanding. While some enjoy the reasonably priced, well-prepared food, others note room for improvement in consistency. The seating, particularly old plastic wicker chairs, could use an upgrade, but the decor remains fun and fascinating. Overall, AJ's on the Bayou provides a pleasant dining experience with a lively vibe, perfect for both locals and vacationing families.
