We just happened onto this amazing restaurant. We are from Texas so was a bit apprehensive about eating Cajun food away from home. Well after first bite we were amazed. The food was really good and authentic. Wendy our server was very attentive and made some really good recommendations. However for me the dessert was the hit. Had fried Twinkies with raspberry sauce and ice cream. Yum Yum

Some of the best shrimp to be found in Salt Lake City. I usually get the shrimp po-boy or if I order something else, I get the popcorn shrimp as an appetizer. It is always a good crispy taste. The pasta and pizza here are stellar as well.

Ahhhhhmazing!!!! Every time we go here the food is 100% on point!! There are so many different drinks to try you would not believe it!! The black and tan is always a beautiful thing to look at, as well as drink. The crawfish étoufeé is incredible, as is the Bayou pasta!! The service is fast and friendly, there is free parking on the side of the building and the experience just must be, well, experienced!!

I loved the food, the Gumbo and salad I had was excellent. I think you should try it just for that reason. I recently traveled through Louisiana and I see what they are trying to bring to Salt Lake. I appreciate this greatly. I will definitely go back.

We were told this place is a “must try” because we’re from New Orleans and moved to SLC a year ago. Service was great. Food is just okay. Gumbo was fairly good. Etouffee could use some work. Red beans and rice is 90% rice so that dish was a complete let down, especially for the price.

Oh how I love The Bayou. The 50/50 fries are nice and crispy and the dipping sauce, well, I could probably drink it. This time I got the gumbolaya, and it was even better the next day. There are SO many beers to choose from. Download the app because the menu only has a fraction of what’s available. Other things I’ve had that I would recommend: artichoke dip, jumbal pizza, pork loin, and Bayou pasta.

This is some spicy filling food! It is the kind of food that tingles your lips and warms the body to the bone. The sweet potatoes fries were next level with the aioli fry sauce. Good lord! The jambalaya is the best in the valley I have had. Do bring your ID and I image during peak hours it will be busy, and for good reason.

First time trying this place and was not disappointed. All menu items made from scratch. We had pork loim sandwhich and the grilled halibut sandwhich. 50/50 fries, half sweet potato, half white potato. Orders came with spicy Cajun dipping sauce. Yum! Dessert was scoop of vanilla ice cream with two hugh ginger snap cookies. They were amazing. Lots of beers and ciders to choose from, also lots of interesting cocktails. Definitely will be coming back next time we are in SLC

It’s the kind of delicious food that makes you angry, angry…asking yourself why isn’t all food this yummy. Well I’ll keep coming here while holding back the rage. Get the blackened salmon and linguine, the sauce is rich and creamy and the salmon is perfectly cooked.
