Review by Tatyana McKenzie

September 13, 2024

Blue Bayou Cafe offers a cozy and trendy atmosphere perfect for seafood lovers! The crawfish here is simply the best - I've been a loyal customer for over a decade! 🦞

I also tried the grilled captain platter; it was tasty, but I wished for a few more scallops. The blood Mary was refreshing, a definite must-try.

While the inside decor feels a bit dated, the fast service and friendly staff, particularly my waitress Cecilia, made the experience memorable. Perfect spot for lunch or dinner with the family! 🌊🍽️
