Lagniappe Bayou Kitchen

It guess it's pronounced Lan-Yap! You'll never guess you're not in NOLA when you visit this place. The food is so rich and comforting. It's a lot of food, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. I came for the boudin balls, and wasn't disappointed. They have daily specials so check the board when you walk in. When you walk in, you pick a table and then order at the counter. They'll bring you the food as it's ready.They have plenty of seating, and it's a great place to bring a family or meet with friends.

Food was excellent, Red Fish was tasteful, Crab Rangoon was some of the best I have had.Can't remember the name but it was a cheese cake with apples, Amazing!!!! So was the New Orleans Coffee!Will be going back to try other dishes....highly recommend!

I leave a lot of good reviews, but I am also very critical. When I say this genuinely may be the best restaurant i've ever stepped foot in, I mean it. You walk in to this totally American small town cafe ambiance, you'd never expect it to be the most delicious and dare I say authentic cajun food in the entirety of Tennessee. I love the natural flow from the moment you walk in the door. You pick up a menu, and seat yourself. On your own time you can choose exactly what you want, then walk up to the counter to order it. Side note, free refills are an instant +1 star for me, I love it! Once the food hits your table, you'll instantly see this isn't just another restaurant. Not only is every meal delicious and rich in flavor, it's presented delicately, cleanly, and beautifully. Also...they make their own chipotle sauce from scratch, I mean come on!!! Not trying Lagniappe would be a disservice to yourself, and I mean it with all my heart. You have got to try it. Maybe try the BBQ Brisket Tacos...oh and don't forget to add the chipotle sauce (;

Great experience this time. Solid Louisiana flavors in a relaxed casual atmosphere.More than enough, everyone took a box of food home.

Lagniappe Bayou Kitchen has a very Cajun seafood forward menu. When you enter the restaurant you order at the counter and seat yourself. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. On our visit here we tried the debris fries, jambalaya, and shrimp po boy. The debris fries were topped with roast beef, cheese, and sour cream. I think they would benefit from a little beef gravy as the dish overall seemed a bit dry. My husband enjoyed his jambalaya, and it was a good portion size. My po boy was on a very dense bread that was hard to take a bite of, and the remoulade sauce was very spicy, so I got a side of mayo to mix the two. The fried okra I got as my side was very good. If we return I would try some of the other items on the menu.

This place is fire! From the friendly service once you enter to the hot, fresh food. Everything that we ordered was good, with the exception of the greens, I wasn't a fan. When you walk in they have a "special" board, do yourself a favor and check that out. Duck wontons were the special on this day and O M G! Kudos to the chef for pairing them with what I think was a strawberry jalapeño jam, whoa. The Host/Cashier/Waitress/Food Runner/Busser was on her game and never looked rattled. Keep her around, she's an all star!

I love everything about this place! The outside is cute and it really stands out for the area. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere just off the highway, which just adds to the appeal in my opinion. Inside it is clean & cozy and feels like a little Bayou oasis. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The guy at the counter was so friendly and so helpful; I think he might have been the owner and/or a chef. I got a bottled Abita Root Beer (super good) and I started with the Duck Wontons on special because they sounded interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away! I'd maybe describe the filling like a smoky duck chowder, and the raspberry-jalapeno jelly dipping sauce was amazing. I'd buy that by the gallon. For my meal, I actually went way out of my comfort zone and tried the Crawfish Etoufee. I first confirmed with the guy at the counter that I didn't actually have to pick up a crawfish to eat it, so I went for it since it was fully cooked in the sauce. It was fabulous! It came with rice and bread, but seriously the sauce was so good. I only got a cup and it was a lot. I need to come back to try everythinggggg else.

I have forgotten multiple times to post this review since Lagniappe opened back in 2020 but here I am finally.This is an excellent Cajun restaurant & rivals anything I've had outside & inside of NOLA as far as taste & quality is concerned. My favorite dishes are the mother of allGrits & the Boudin balls, but you can't go wrong with anything here. They also have great desserts from time to time. Entree portions are large & the price justified by size & quality, The dining area is small & shares a little merchandise area. You walk up to the counter & place your order & pay then find a seat & they bring it out to you. Drinks are self serve. Busy times & days mean you will not have a seat unless you come early or wait around to order. Luckily for us this is the closest place to eat from my house at only 4 minutes drive, but if you are traveling a ways to come here plan accordingly as it's popular & can get full quickly,

I do not leave many reviews because I've worked in food and beverage for my whole life but if you're from Louisiana looking for some Cajun food avoid at all costs. So so so bad.... The rice wasn't even cooked in the jambalaya or red beans and rice, the staples. I hope they take this review to heart and put it into their menu.

A feel good down home small business feel with big taste and big menu, one of those that there is so much you wanna try hard to decide. I had river rangoon and froglegs. Rangoon had big chunks of crawfish and excellent filling deep fried to perfection and with the frog legs also fried to perfection and not undercooked at all Duck wonton is next
