STAY AWAY FROM HERE. WOW what a disappointment. Perhaps the worst meal, and rudest staff ever. What happened to the old Blue Bayou? If you have all the time in the world, are not hungry, so you can wait two hours, and you like food that seems to be more Chinese than cajun, well then Blue Bayou is for you. If not, stay away from this horrible place. What a shame, this place used to be awesome! New Owner SUCKS!!!!

Horrible Management. This isn't the first complaint you'll hear about the management and it won't be the last. They cut corners, don't pay their vendors, and are more concerned with making a buck than making the customer happy.

Horrible service. 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......

Great Breakfast on the Weekends. 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.

New Orleans-inspired restaurant and bar on Southport Avenue.. 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.
