Bayou Kitchen delivers an authentic taste of Louisiana right in the Gaslamp District! The gumbo and pasta jambalaya are standout dishes that hit the spot every time. Service is attentive and friendly - worth every dollar! Don’t miss the beignets, too... 😋

Bayou Kitchen in San Diego is a delightful Creole gem! 🌟 I started with their gumbo - rich and packed with flavor - before diving into the pasta jambalaya, which was undeniably one of the best I've had!

The atmosphere is cozy and casual, complete with Louisiana-inspired decor and live music. Our server was attentive and made fantastic menu recommendations. Don't miss the Buffalo Gator bites for a fun appetizer!

If you’re craving authentic Louisiana fare without breaking the bank, this spot is a must-visit! I can't wait to go back for their beignets next time... 🍽️✨
