What People Are Saying About Blue Bayou

In Short
Drawing a pre- and post-movie crowd from Music Box Theater, this dark, woody space is peppered with Mardi Gras beads, black and white Herman Leonard prints and New Orleans memorabilia. Piped-in zydeco music accents Big Easy dishes like bayou crab cakes with mustard creme fraiche. Flash-fried crawfish tails are served with three dipping sauces. For entrees, expect jambalaya, gumbo, etouffee and po'boys.

I spent Valentine's night at Blue Bayou - The band was great!! Amy Kelly was singing and walking across the bar. I will make sure to go again when she is belting out the blues - Great price on pint Hurricanes, too.!

This place was a favorite up until a few weeks ago when we came to see a certain band and was not given a good reason why the band did not show.... We were treated very badly by the staff..... A Mr Tully was not very kind to us....but the doorman told us to stick around and have a drink on him..... i would not recommend this place......

This is one of my favorite spots for breakfast on the weekends. The cajun influence in the breakfast makes it different then most places and they have great bloody mary's as well. It is a great place to stay and watch the bear's game after you eat as well.
