Bayou Boys

Amazing flavor straight out the bayou but right in your backyard. A jewel in the small town of Needville.

The food is amazing and even in a packed house, the service was friendly and we didn't wait long. Boudin, red beans and rice, catfish, crawfish...all were great. We will definitely be back and telling others about this hidden gem.

Came for dinner on a Friday evening. Was a packed house. There was always someone coming in to either dine in or pick up Togo, and I can see why with how delicious everything was. Crawfish was absolutely amazing! Shells peeled right off with no problem, and the flavor was soaked right in. Also tried the butt burner boudin (my favorite), Cajun cabbage, red beans n rice, and the corn maque choux. (Forgot to take pictures of any of that), but it was all super tasty.

Great food, great service, great owner! We will always support Bayou Boys not just because the food is phenomenal, but because Joel gives back to the community in so many ways. From sponsoring kids athletic teams to picking up trash on the highway, Joel doesn't just talk about it, he is about it. On top of that, if you're looking for top-shelf, award winning small batch boudin, look no further. Before Bayou Boys, we were waiting until we had to pass through Baton Rouge to stop at Jerry Lee's...not anymore. For my money, Bayou Boys tops JL's and if you know JL's...that's saying a lot.

The food was delicious. I recomend their fried shrimp or catfish. The only problem was it took a little long whenever there were just 2 families.

I finally made my way to Needville to check out what I've been hearing about for a while now. It's been a long time coming and I waited too long...but it was worth the wait! This place was recommended to me from some coworkers who happen to be Cajun from Louisiana. I had high expectations and let me tell you now, Bayou Boys met every one of them. First the ambiance. I'm from a small town in west Texas and this place reminds me of the small cozy diners I used to frequent as a kid, where the service was great and the food was even better. When I walked in though, I knew I wasn't in Texas anymore Toto. I was in Lafourche Parish. Not transported by a tornado but by the aroma of some tres bien boudin, poboys and gumbo! The service was excellent. Hannah was very customer oriented and made the whole experience very enjoyable. She answered questions, gave recommendations and knew the menu very well. The food....come on now...the food? C'est bon!!!Let's start off with the fried green tomatoes. Thanks to my mom growing up and a healthy dose of Kathy Bates movies, I grew up eating fried green tomatoes. These were so good. Fried and crispy on the outside but tender and oh so juicy on the inside. Dipped in that blue cheese or ranch, it was going down!If I drove all this way, I'm going to eat! So next up. The Butt Burner Boudin was fire! If you didn't know boudin means delicious and this was some delicious boudin. I back doored the boudin with a boudin ball that was equally delicious. I'm sure somewhere there is a debate about boudin links vs boudin balls and it was hard to decide in this case but I'll leave the ball in your court to decide.The chicken and sausage gumbo was incredible. That dark, chocolate brown roux had a deep, rich flavor. The chicken and sausage was full of flavor and the rice soaked up all that good flavor. Was I done? Oh no bebe! I still had to try them famous poboys! One catfish and one shrimp. The French bread was incredibly soft but with a very light crispy crust. The catfish and shrimp both were amazing. These poboys were stuffed! Lettuce, pickles and tomatoes packed in and overflowing! I put that tartar sauce on the catfish and that poboy was something serious!I thought I was done but I let them talk me into trying that Tarte au la Bouillie. Let's be honest. It didn't take much convincing. I was ready. The translation is burnt milk tart but all I tasted was delight! It's something between a custard and a cheesecake but not like either. It's just good, ya heard!The owner Joel made several stops by the table and talked about the food a bit. I appreciate when the owner or chef stops by and connects with the customer. It shows the passion for great customer service and incredible cuisine.Y'all it took me way too long to make it to Bayou Boys in Needville, TX. Don't be like me...be ready to eat some authentic Cajun cuisine and jump in your car and drive to Needville asap! You won't be disappointed!!!

Went to see what this place was about being that I always hear good things. I was not disappointed. From entering into the place everyone was very nice and generous welcoming me with a smile and great service and just overall patience with my husband and I for our first time. The food came pretty quickly upon ordering and very delicious. We left the place with a food coma literally so sleepy in our ride back home from the delicious food. We will be returning for sure

Ordered crawfish expecting the complete package (corn and potatoes) since waiter never explained that crawfish was the only item. When she brought them to me, they were lukewarm warm and after noticing that I had no corn..ect. I ordered both. She brought them to me lukewarm warm. They looked like they had been made hours earlier so I returned both.. the crawfish had a pleasant taste, but were dry. We also ordered red beans and rice. The server served them in a flimsy paper plate! I was not happy with the taste of them as well... I've never been to an establishment where I ordered lemons for my water and was served lemon juice in a small container.. it's been a while since I bought crawfish from this establishment and I must say this time it was not a good experience at all!

Fast service, family friendly, awesome vibes, even better food! I'll drive out of my way to go to Bayou Boys any day of the week.

Slightly disappointed. I saw the post on Facebook and wanted to give this place a try. The plan was to order crawfish, catfish dinner, catfish Maria and the crawfish etouffee. Unfortunately I could try none. I walked in at 5:34 to order dinner to go for my family. The young lady told me to give her a few minutes and she will be with me. After waiting a few minutes I heard a guy tell her to no longer accept orders of crawfish to go. Again they were not sold out and had just brought in a huge white ice chest full of crawfish from the the front outside area of the restaurant. Perhaps I'll give them a try some other time, if I decide to make that long 45 minute drive.
