Blue Bayou

I rarely give 5 stars but this place deserves it. On side of hwy and looks like a hole in the wall from outside. Once you walk in, it is nicely dimmed lighting, great country/family feel. The food? Hands down amazing country cooking with lots of heart. The employees are incredible and the cooks love their art. My other half had the meat loaf special to die for. I had the blackened catfish and my jaw dropped how perfect it was. Green beens were amazing and side of pinto beans I could eat all day long but of course won't...gas yah know lol. Band they had, see pics, was over the top as we came back that Wednesday evening to see this great group. A spot on my list everytime I am up this way. We'll deserving of 5 stars all around.

Well we ventured out of our usual path and met a group over at this placeThe other reviews are pretty good explaining the bar cafe atmosphereOne table had a game of dominoes going proving from the reviews it is the locals watering hole Bar area reeks of ash traysBack patio area people were smoking but it didn't reek of ashtrays I got up and turned on the numerous outdoor fans which made it fairly tolerable to sit outside FoodI had a club sandwich it was good lacking on sandwich meat cheese lettuce but it was not badMy son had a cheese burger said it was very goodWife had a chicken wrap and she said it was a juicy The rest of the group all had mixed drinks beer etcThe waitress was very attentive to our tableIf you are out on a drive or ride out this way it would be a great change of pace from the franchise places

My motorcycle riding buddy and I have passed the Blue Bayou Lounge many times and wanted to stop in. Either we were just riding or Covid had them shut down. Today we decided we were riding just here to make one more attempt. Lucky for us it was open and always a good sign when you see cars in the parking lot for lunch on a Wednesday. Riders love to eat and we say we "ride to eat". That pretty true. I've heard good things about the food here. We met our waitress and sat down in the lounge area. I will say that it's much more bar than grille. The lighting was pretty dark and right away we had smokers at the bar with their smoke coming across our table. Neither of us are smokers. I don't usually say anything and didn't this time but I sure wish they could put some type of circulation system in to prevent smoke from affecting other customers. Now the beer was super cold and waitress so friendly. Of course I checked with Yelp to see what was good before ordering. I picked the Club and had onion rings. My buddy ordered a burger with onion rings. We had heard about the onion rings and wanted to see if they lived up to the hype. Didn't take long for it to come out.Here's where the food made a big difference. My Club sandwich was AMAZING!!! The bread just a little crispy and it tasted just as good as it looked. I'm going out in a limb to say that it's one of the best Club sand who I've ever had. Oh, those onion rings were on point! Crispy and every single bite had so much flavor. Unbelievable lunch. My buddy raves about his burger and rings as well. You can't go wrong with a great lunch and y'all beer for under $20. I have to say their amazing food is what brought them up to 4 from what I planned to be 3 . This place deserves 5 star but that cigarettes smoke is just so annoying to non smokers. I'll still be back!

Blue Bayou is a nice little dive bar near Eagle Mountain Lake. The food is always good and the beer is always cold. Service is always great. They have great live music too.

This is a super awesome place. Outside deck is the #1 best inside is too smokey smelling for me, but outside is fun! Food selection is fun and yummy as well. But my fav =cold beer and outside deck.

I love this place. Food is good, drinks are cold and music is outstanding! We go a couple of times a month. Did I mention the service is great too!!

I stopped by for lunch yesterday and it was awesome! I had a hamburger and kettle chips. Their burger is excellent and their kettle chips are freshly prepared and come with a spicy ranch for dipping. This place is a hidden gem with super friendly employees. One employee, Alex ,will even leg wrestle you upon request. That's the rumor:)

I just left this joint with my mind blown. It's a bar, next to a trailer park, so let's be honest, expectations were low. I grew up in places like this, it was like 1989 and I loved it! My son had the patty melt, that he usually orders at the eagles nest, and said the bayou wins hands down. 4 different bread choices, lower price and was better food. The waitress/bartender was very warm and took great care of us. I had the club and it was incredible, I could only eat half and got the rest to go. Long story short, if you can handle a smoky bar, and like good food, go check it out, if the smoke is a deal breaker, sit on the patio.

Food and service was amazing. Great little spot. Definitely coming back. Had live music that was good also.

Good food and drinks. Been here a couple times before and enjoyed myself immensely but I was a little put off by the guy that came in with his child then proceeded to let him wander around without supervision. And there's no full door to the kitchen-- saw a cat wander in there. Good burgers, though. Up to you if you're ok with underage kids and cats.
