Shrimp & Bayou Classics

Was a great place before new ownership... figured it would close quick

The fish was very fishy and there was no seasoning on the shrimp or fish and the fries were coated in grease and very soggy

Always amazing

Really good ?

The classic combo has a great mix of Cajun flavors. In the mood for some alligator bites? They've got them. They must be good because we keep going back!Update: this place is permanently closed.

Really good! Everything was fresh and delicious

Food was tasteless and absolutely no seasoning on it. I can’t for the life of me see how people are raving about this place. If I had to eat this kind of food, I would rather hitch hike to Louisiana in the snow than to drive to this place down the street. Way overpriced for what you get too.

At one time i would have recommended this restaurant for cajun food because it used to be the best. When it was taken under new ownership the food has been disappointing and I have had to wait over an hour for call in orders every time I have been here and that is an hour after the time i was told it would be ready. I really wanted to give them a chance but their service is crap. food has gone sub par. I don't recommend this place to anybody anymore. Sad what the new owners have done to this place at least in my experience with them. It has gone from my favorite to the worst in town.

I have never been so impressed by an owner. I posted a poor review yesterday. It was our first time eating here and I will just say we were disappointed. I thought that I was out $50 and wouldn't go back. BUT WAIT, THIS IS A GOOD REVIEW!!! Less than one hour after posting my review the owner reached out me personally and apologized for our first experience. He claimed that it was not up to his standards after he say the pictures I posted. He did not berate me or make me feel like a bad person for sharing my review. All he asked was for me to come back tonight for a new meal that he would pay for so that we could see what his food was REALLY like. GUYS. This food was phenomenal. We got fried catfish, perfectly battered and golden. Fried black mussels, my husband is from the east coast and devoured them. I got the bang bang shrimp and it was SO GOOD. The lobster mac? So creamy, so cheesy, just melted in the mouth. He also threw in a black pudding, which I had never tried before....let's just say that this is now going to be one of my go-to craving foods 🤣 All of our food was fresh, seasoned, and well prepared. A HUGE thank you to the owner. You have gained some lifetime customers!

food was trash and so was the staff, no masks and seemed like none of the staff even cared what was going on, do not recommend!

The ONLY authentic cajun food in Springfield! All shrimp, crab and crawfish are caught the day before. Very fresh, very delicious!

New owner's, employees not wearing masks, new recipes, and new HIGHER prices. Definitely not the same shrimp and bayou classics.

Great food. Will definitely be going back.

I've suffered a long time without properly prepared Cajun food since moving from my home state, Louisiana. I ordered the shrimp bucket and it was a heavenly experience. I'll be back for more!
