Was told by a co-worker about coming here for good Cajun food. I wasn't disappointed, nobody was. Had been 25 years easy since I had frog legs and they were delicious. Everything was. I would recommend it to anyone and will be coming again

Cool little place, definitely doesn't get the attention it deserves. Sadly, I think this place is ahead of its time for downtown saskatoon. If be shocked if its around for another year.

It's been over a year now since we visited for my partner's birthday. They forgot to order our meals and we sat for hours waiting. They took forever for dessert so we cancelled it, and they knocked the leftovers out of our hands all over the floor. This was by far the worst restaurant experience that we've had in Saskatoon. We couldn't get out of there soon enough and my lady deserved a better birthday. There are many better options in Saskatoon.

Beautifully decorated with the most inviting smells- Warm atmosphere - Great music - loud atmosphere but not obnoxious. Kids welcome till 8. Truly enjoyed the New Orleans style experience. Kids shared the chicken and rib platter. Blackened chicken and firebird were delicious. Dill ranch was a good addition to fries.

First time eating here and the food and service is fantastic! Food is so flavourful and the workers here are so hard working. This is a must check out and I’m definitely eating here again

The place has a cool vibe yes.
I have been for a sea food broil like a few years ago and it was decent but salty . Oysters there are good . However I’ve been consistently let down as a customer … we walked in a table of 5 to a seat yourself sign and had two people working serving and one behind the bar no one acknowledged us . Not one hi be right with you in 10 minutes we were there . How are you making money if you’re not serving people? they also close at 10 it says online but when we came back to try to get oysters at 7:30 and they had the doors unlocked and no tables I asked if they were open and got told no . So please adjust that .
I’m unsure how this place has survived if the service is this way. Honestly my bad for trying to showcase something to someone from Kelowna … get some hospitality training guys like come on

Saskatoon’s Slice of the South – A Must-Try!

Bon Temps Café instantly transports you to the heart of Louisiana with its vibrant atmosphere, authentic Cajun-Creole cuisine, and welcoming Southern charm. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, lively, and true to its New Orleans roots.

We ordered the seafood creole ~ a rich and flavorful dish served over rice with perfectly seasoned fried chicken, buttery corn, and a soft, house-made biscuit. It was comfort food at its finest (customizable).

The oysters Bienville were absolutely divine—cheesy, garlicky, and beautifully baked. Hands down one of the best oyster preparations I’ve had in Canada. We paired our meal with some Southern-inspired cocktails that were refreshing and fun.

They have open mic every Thursday 8-10pm.

Whether you’re a local or visiting Saskatoon, Bon Temps Café is a culinary gem that brings the soul of the South to the prairies. Amazing food, great drinks, and an unforgettable vibe!

The Bang Bang Shrimp Appetizer was really good. Great crunch, great sauce, great flavoring. Also got crabs cakes (4pcs) but for $10 and how little/thin patty it was , I feel like it's a little pricey. The sauce they use with. Rab cake btw, was really good. (Happy hour appetizers)

I ordered a jambalaya for my main. It was decent but I'll say that I've gotten better flavoring at other restaurants. I was disappointed by how little to no sausage I could find in my jambalaya, especially since they had it listed on the description 🤷. Not sure if there are different versions, but this one is not as thick of a sauce as I find with other places as well.

We got some cocktails under their Voodoo Drink Happy Hour ($8/each) and it was good for the price point, but very little alcohol.

Parking here is a little hard, but nothing the restaurant can do. It's pretty much a first come first serve with the paid parking outside.

Server was really nice and helpful.

My bartender Shawna was so funny and attentive. She makes the best dirty gin martinis!

We have been to Bon Temps many times, based on a recommendation.
When we went, the server was way too busy to worry about a table of two, and after the bartender noticed, he took it upon himself to serve us (his service was AMAZING). The food was good, the drinks were delicious and the bartender bought us a drink to make up for our server's bad service. The beignets were so yummy.

The last time we went there, will be the last time. The service was absolutely terrible, the staff were free pouring shots into each others mouths, rather than serving the customers. The food was okay, but not near as good as it used to be.

It is such a cool place to look at, the decor is amazing.

A disappointing visit and when we were visiting from out of town it used to be a favourite place. Now we'll just avoid it entirely. There are lots of other options and watching servers get drunk wasn't the entertainment I'm interested in.

Ordered the Seafood Creole - hardly any seafood, No shrimp, tiny scallops - very disappointing. Mostly rice very little sauce. Biscuits were missing; then receive burnt ones.
Chair was worn and broken. Service was so-so.Not sure if I will ever return.

Visiting from Flin Flon. My 2nd time. Have been waiting to come back. Love the feel of this place...food and service was great.
Look forward to coming again!

Good food, good service, just sorta expensive. But a date night out, time with the bois, or girls hangout, total vibe for people to come for a treat
