Hire some adults to control the staff. The staff is very young alot of playing around and very noisy. To my surprise the food was awesome. I had catfish and it was very good. Everyone was happy with there food. Kitchen staff was out of control, they were louder than the bar.Stay alive kitchen staff. SMH

We were quite disappointed with Bayou Grill tonight in contrast with some past experiences there. I returned the drink as it was watery and too sweet. The waitress brought our hot meal first. When asked about rolls she said: oh sometimes we have it sometimes not. About halfway through the meal she brought our salads. Then she said: maybe there are some rolls in the freezer. Five minutes later she brought out 4 rolls. She never refilled my ice tea, which was watery. The salmon is listed as $19.99, she charged us $21.98. We each had one rectangle of a paper towel for napkins and we had to ask for napkins and for butter. There were four dried out desserts at 7:30 PM in the case. Not going back.

Extremely unfortunate that this place no longer cares! & before this place goes down in ruins. Hopefully the owner can start working at the location to bring it back up to satisfactory the chefs can’t cook or just Do not know how to cook or either just don’t care the food came out burnt sent it back and they gave us a whole Nother load of burnt food. Money is too hard to come by these days to be wasting it on individuals that no longer care. I remember years ago the parking lot will be full of vehicles trying to get into this location now you go there is empty and you still get poor quality food.
One of the worst dining experiences of my life. We won't be back.My wife and I arrived at the Bayou Grill around 5pm on a Saturday. There were two other parties who arrived about the same time we did: another couple, and a family with two kids. There was a sign instructing us to Please Wait To Be Seated, so we did. We waited for what seemed like a long time, but was probably only a minute or two. No one seemed to be around. Finally, a woman came out of the back and hurried over to us. She told each party, in turn, to sit wherever we liked, and that a server would be with us shortly.Things seemed to be happening a little more slowly than I normally expect from restaurants, but we eventually got our drinks ordered. I'm led to understand that there were staffing issues, one or more people called in or something like that. It happens, and we weren't really in a hurry. I did feel bad for the other couple who came in with us. Apparently they chose a table where they were ignored completely. My back was to them, but my wife murmured to me about what was happening. When our drinks arrived, she pointed to their table and asked if someone was going to wait on them. I gather they left after only having drinks.We ordered catfish beignets as an appetizer. They were … okay. They seemed warm rather than hot, as if they'd been sitting around a bit before being brought to our table. I may have an imperfect understanding of the term “beignet,” but they seemed like ordinary fried catfish nuggets to me, breaded with a little cornmeal and seasoning. I'd been expecting something more … I don't know … donut-y … some kind of sweet-yet-savory batter, maybe dusted with a bit of powdered sugar. What I got–with the dipping sauce--was essentially a catfish po’ boy minus the bun. If it had been fresh from the fryer instead of just warm, it might have been better.The entree was, admittedly, better. I had the crawfish etouffee. My wife had the coconut shrimp, with red beans and rice as a side. The coconut shrimp were good--she let me try a bite. She found the red beans and rice to be too spicy for her, but that's our problem, not the Bayou Grill's. The etoufee, again, was more warm than hot. It was tasty enough. The sauce was flavorful. The crawfish were plump. But the rice seemed undercooked. I kept getting crunchy grains mixed in with the rest. It really detracted from the experience.We opted to get dessert elsewhere.I suppose it was mainly a bunch of little things that turned us off. The food seemed not so much cooked as reheated. The dining room seemed on the shabby side–clean and hygienic enough, but with light bulbs that needed replacing, strips of transparent tape stuck to the sides of booths, a forgotten napkin dangling from a chair leg. The general impression was of a restaurant whose best days are behind it. The menus may very well be the same ones they had when they opened, and that was at least twenty or so years ago.In the end, my impression of the Bayou Grill is probably best summed up by the alligator hide displayed near the entrance: flat, dessicated, and hanging around for God knows how long.

Slow service, cold food and they add a 4% surcharge if you use your card. A card swipe is a card swipe regardless of what your meal costs so they are making money off you for card services. They try and trick you tho by giving the total assuming you are going to use your card. If you aren’t paying attention and pay cash, they will pocket that money. Will never go there again. It’s not the place it used to be.
Ordered lobster ravioli. Food was luke warm and ravioli were crunchy or raw I would say. However, our waitress was amazing.

Stopped in here on Saturday night to get some food and a few drinks. I knew immediately upon entering that it was a bad idea. Sat at the bar like I normally do, and the bartender was absolutely wasted. She was intoxicated and/or on some sort of drugs. She could barely stand, was stumbling around and couldn’t talk. She was breaking glasses behind the bar because she was so sloppy, and was an absolute mess. I couldn’t believe it. This was on Saturday night, February 10, 2024. I hope owners and management take this review into consideration. That bartender needs to get some help. I will never be back here again.

There is no way that this place has good BBQ. Ever time I eat here , the fish, I get ill with diarea. The food service is poor, and management is week. The cook is overworked. The bartender is slow and limited.
Went for dinner on a Saturday. We made a reservation and showed up at 6:30. We were there for 3 HOURS. Waitress got stuck at another table with a large group and we weren't even able to place our order for over an HOUR. I do not blame the waitress. I blame management. I manager should have either taken our order or taken over the other table. Absolutely zero excuses. And they were out of tons of stuff. At least 2 dishes, plus the desserts. It's not close to our house, so we won't be back.
