Every time I am at the cabin we visit! Been visiting since I can remember and they always have a chefs creation which we love! Love everything on their menu and their view is gorgeous. Love their staff have a mojito they grow their own mint and they are to die for! Also, their salad cart has the best bleu cheese I have ever had and it’s so fun choosing the ingredients. The Cajun Ramulade is the best also we always buy a bottle so we have some for Christmas with crackers or shrimp. They have a unique soup which is chilled Strawberry Rhubarb and we love ordering that every time since no where else have I seen this. Their cook book is amazing to purchase as well. This is a fancy restaurant so we always dress up and love it since we wear flannels and jeans all the time to keep the mosquitoes out. Hoping to have my reception there in 2025 to see Pam my friend and the best staff you will ever meet works there!!! Love love love the memories and the dining experience. Nothing is like this gem! Can’t wait to go in August!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Terrific dining experience with wonderful service. We made a reservation and although it was not particularly busy at that time, there was a steady fill up later on. There was a host, someone to take drink orders, explain the menu and specials, bring food, prepare salads. All were professional, knew their stuff and were well prepared.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, enjoyable dining experience, one that offers great food and a great venue, the Blue Bayou Inn is all that and more. Here, dining is a series of tasty courses. It started with a delicious cocktail prepared by Rita, the owner. Next up was the delicious seafood pate served with a bread and cracker basket. The salad cart arrived, where the server prepared custom salads topped with one of many available dressings. And then the main course. We had Blackened Whitefish (the special) and Steak Diane (see photos). Both were fantastic, and were served with wild rice. Rita’s son is the chef, and daughter the server. Dine here for a delicious meal, regardless of whether or not you think you like Cajun.

What a great place for a special evening. Every seat has an incredible view of the lake. The service is impeccable. This is a true dining experience deserving of at least 2 hours to enjoy. All meals start with a seafood pate fresh Hot bread, choice of soup and their famed salad prepared table side with garnish of your choice. I enjoyed the cajun sampler which was delicious. I will definitely return.

Absolutely horrendous service. We called ahead of time to make sure we could get a table, they said yes & when we showed up they said we needed to book a reservation 2 weeks in advanced.

What an amazing food experience! I’ve always felt that truly memorable meals have a slow even pace and it should all make sense and flow together. This is a 2 hour minimum experience, but so worth it. Everything from the Cajun bloody all the way to the whiskey butter sauce bread pudding is beyond great! I tasted 4 of the entrees at our party of 6 and they were all stellar. You have to try this place. If you’re a tad skeptical of Cajun cuisine in the north woods of Wisconsin… Don’t be! I was born and raised in Louisiana and the flavors are all authentic. Everything was amazing!

I loved this place. I enjoy all things cajun and creole. I’ll start by saying I hope to visit this place when there are no covid restrictions. You will absolutely need reservations. Penny is lovely to talk to on the phone and set up everything. They have a spectacular view and the location is great. The seafood pate and bread and crackers are good. They have a spread remoulade you get it has horseradish and is great. And the have great real butter. The soup was amazing I got the strawberry rhubarb cold soup. It was like drinking a strawberry rhubarb crumble. My wife hates cold food but loved this and will get it next time. She had chicken and wild rice and enjoyed it. The next course was a little salad. Had all your basic salad needs. Got cajun dressing it was good and non spicy which I would have been fine for more heat. Main course I got the sample platter. The catfish blackened was phenomenal. Crawfish etouffee I got half and half spicy/ creamy. The spicy totally had kid and creamy was great as a Ying Yang. And finally the jambalaya was to die for. Loved the cheese and sausage and everything packed inside it. My wife had blackened filet and she really enjoyed it. Another friend got blackened shrimp and while she enjoyed it she wished Gulf shrimp would have been larger. All in all its great place to visit and try a hurricane and sign up to get a free shirt. And be sure to get a dessert even if you gotta take it home from being so full.

One of the best dinners I have ever had! The service was great! We got blackened scallops for an appetizer, and they were done perfectly! Cajun sampler was really good! I would reccomend this place to anyone who is in the area!

The food was delicious, the atmosphere just lovely and the view of the little island charming. Our only complaint is that the hostess was a bit rude, but all of the servers were really efficient and friendly.
