Bayou Market and Cafe

I must be part creole because honestly I could eat this cuisine everyday for the rest of my life and never get bored. I tried the gumbo here and i enjoyed it a bit, but I was expecting more. If was a bit watered down and I expected more impact but it was pretty good.

First time trying the business was disappointed in portions. Flavors were good. Was hard finding place as it is in a plaza with small signage.

Bayou provided breakfast and lunch at our event at Studio@620. Fantastic selection, quality and flavors at a very reasonable price. Everyone loved their food! You need to check them out!

ALL LOUISIANA FOLK NEED TO COME HERE FOR CRAWFISH!As a Cajun transplant, I have struggled to find decent seafood in Tampa Bay. Which is odd being so close to the water and the abundance of seafood buffet places... Every other place I have called or gone to serves crawfish cold. Literally they boil and then place it in the fridge for you to pick up. I don't know about you, but if I'm paying premium dollars for crawfish, 1) it has to be good 2) it has to be hot. Through word of mouth I found this gem. We ordered 10lbs of crawfish. I also grabbed some shrimp creole from the market fridge to heat up for dinner tonight. The owner, David, was so sweet! On top of the 10lbs of crawfish, he put extra corn and potatoes for us. My fiancé and I went to a nearby park and had ourselves a crawfish picnic. We used the extra potatoes as "rice" for our shrimp creole dinner tonight. I will be coming back often and I will be screaming about this place from the rooftops to any local who has moved and misses Cajun food. The owner is also a Baton Rouge native. BINGO! This is the winner. 20/10. Never go anywhere else for crawfish or seafood.

One word...Wow!What it lacks in size it makes up for in quality. An intimate menu changes daily so you'll have variety every time you stop by.I had the seafood jambalaya which includes a choice of two delicious side dishes. Although all the side dishes sounded great I chose collard greens times two. Don't Judge me, I just love collard greens and they were finger licking good.When I was done, Tina asked me if I wanted some dessert. I'm not usually a dessert person particularly at lunchtime. But she waved some fresh out of the oven macadamia chocolate chip cookies under my nose and I could not resist. I even took one to go!Do yourself and your taste buds a favor and stop in here next time you're in the neighborhood. you will not be disappointed.

I will give this gem a proper review sooner rather than later, but for the time being the world needs to know! BEST. SHRIMP & GRITS. IN. TAMPA BAY. There might have been an entire stick of butter in my single serving.

Cute little to-go market with prepared foods and to-go orders. Legit Cajun offerings. Loved what we tried and very friendly service. Will def be going back!

If you're from Louisiana you'll love LSU Dave's cuisine at Bayou Market & Cafe. Authentic homemade just like your Maw Maw made. I don't eat collards but, I eat theirs. Bread pudding to die for. Anything you eat here is the real deal & authentic Louisiana home cooking!

Service was great. I special ordered a King Cake, looked good but it was so dry it wasn't even enjoyable.

FANTASTIC:We have gotten food from them for years, starting when they were in the other location. Whenever we need food for a group we think of them first. We Love the Seafood Pasta, an the Gumbo is Amazing. Their Signature Jambalaya - my husband wants it all the time. My Number 1 is the "Spinach Gouda Mushrooms" The people at one of our gatherings, were actually bidding on the last few in the dish. The Bourbon Meatballs are one of the best appetizer any of us has ever had - Give them a Try. We try something new each time as well.The Owner is so helpful, and his suggestions have always been perfect. I hope you will give them a try. Stop in for a lunch special to try some of the options. Then you will know what to order for your next Party.
