The service was the best part of this experience. The brisket was tender but dry. Wasn't really impressed with any of the food we ordered. Especially for the price. The service and people working there really were excellent though!

Brooke took excellent care of us. Cold beer to the rescue. We shared a huge plate of chicken nachos.And cudos to the owners for the ladies restroom remodel. We visited last year and the new floor tile is some of the best I have seen . And I have seen a lot. I sell houses

Everything about this place was great. Our waiter was super helpful and nice. Voodoo wings are some of the best wings I’ve had. BBQ platter was great too. The meat literally melted off the ribs ?. Ambiance was great! Would totally recommend to anyone in the area.

The food quality has gone down hill since new owner. The shrimp used to be larger fresh shrimp cooked perfectly. Now they are small shrimp and are way too salty. Also they used to have excellent fried chicken, it's just average. It's disappointing that we are losing good restaurants (good restaurants converted to mediocre overpriced tourist restaurants).

Food was delicious! We arrived with a group of 8 adults and 5 kids, so had to wait a bit for the food to come out. Great menu, a large assortment of beers and lovely atmosphere

The service was excellent, but the food, not so much. I was expecting authentic Cajun and Texas cuisine, and it was not.

Service was great. The food was just okay. My husband got wings and they weren’t that good. I got the beef brisket sandwich and it didn’t have any flavor. The collard greens were great!

Stop in and have Blake (our good friend that we just met) tell you about the Catfish Etouffee. This stop was one of the highlights of our trip. The food/drinks are great and the service was better. We will be back!!

This place rocked!! We’d never been here and was looking for somewhere that did karaoke. After a bit of google searching we came across the Bayou. Called ahead with a party of 16 for a bachelorette party. And these guys knocked it out of the park. Our waitress was spot on! Super attentive, personable and organized. The food was delicious. The queso burger was so good and the mashed potatoes were mouth watering good. The DJ was energetic and upbeat. And the owner made us feel welcome and appreciated. Will definitely patronize again soon.

We had such a great time! Came for my bachelorette party, and this was a GREAT choice! Owner, and staff were accommodating to our party, made sure we had everything we needed for a great night out together! Go check them out next time you’re in Banner Elk!

Google brought us to the wrong parking and entrance, possibly because of construction. Bar was great, people and staff were awesome, and the food was good. Will definitely return.
