Bayou Kitchen is a vibrant breakfast spot in Portland, known for its delicious Cajun-inspired dishes and generous portions. The service is fast and friendly, creating a lively atmosphere with warm and accommodating staff. The menu includes flavorful options like the Cajun Scramble, Sausage Scramble, and the highly praised homemade corned beef hash breakfast. Guests can also enjoy the Hurricane Omelets, which can be enhanced with cheese. The restaurant's cornbread is a highlight, available in three flavors: blueberry, plain, and jalapeño cheddar. The chefs prepare dishes to order, featuring Cajun twists that locals and visitors appreciate.
The dining area may be cozy and a bit loud, but this adds to the charm. There are refillable coffee and cold water in plastic cups, along with condiments readily available on the tables. The gumbo is especially praised for its comforting flavors, filled with okra, chicken, and andouille sausage, with an option to add crawfish for an extra charge. Each dish comes with cornbread, and many recommend the cheddar-jalapeño version. Guests often describe the experience as homey and welcoming, reminiscent of the South, with good humor and a lively atmosphere. While Bayou Kitchen does not take reservations and can get busy, visitors often find parking on nearby side streets. This eatery is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique breakfast experience that feels like a portal to New Orleans, with hearty portions and a funky vibe.
