Review by Murray M.

October 19, 2024

Looking for a taste of Cajun cuisine outside Louisiana? The Bayou in Salt Lake City delivers! I tried the Gumbolaya and it was superb - not too spicy, just right! The Cajun Seafood Balls were a standout, crispy on the outside and packed with flavor inside.

I appreciate the friendly service - despite the busy atmosphere, my drink arrived promptly. The rustic vibe and quick service made for an enjoyable evening. Don’t miss out on their dessert options, especially the bread pudding with bourbon caramel sauce... 🍰
