Customer Reviews
“ Great Cajun restaurant off the beaten path, alligators in the water off the back deck. ”
“ Everyone should come down to South LA and search this little gem! It is the epitome of our life here on the bayou! The atmosphere is so laid back and calming. Heather and Shawn, their children, and the staff are all a FAMILY. There is music on the weekends and a vibe that is unmatched. Make the trip!! ”
“ If you're seeking excellent fried chicken, this rustic Cajun restaurant is worth the trip. Though it's a bit off the beaten path, the food more than compensates. Their fried chicken is cooked fresh to order, so expect a 20-minute wait that is absolutely justified. For about $11, a four-piece meal with a side features incredibly crunchy and juicy wings, drumsticks, thighs, and breast. The seafood gumbo and boudin balls are also good, but the fried chicken is the real highlight. The service is friendly, and the setting, which includes riverfront seating and a small resident alligator, adds to the fun, authentic vibe. ”
“ Fresh, hot fried chicken livers cooked to order. Seasoned perfectly and paired with perfectly seasoned rice dressing. The freshness of everything was spot on. This meal brought back memories of my childhood. I will definitely go back! ”
“ The food was excellent. I highly recommend the fried alligator, either as an appetizer or as a meal. Our waitress was awesome. We've the atmosphere here and enjoy seeing the live alligators directly outside the restaurant in the bayou. ”
“ Bayou Delight is everything I want in a restaurant; delicious, authentic food; friendly, welcoming, unpretentious, unique to the region staff; affordable pricing; can't be replicated location. The shrimp, potato, and corn soup in a red sauce base is the best thing I've eaten recently. Tangy tomato sauce with sweet corn and new potatoes, combined with a fantastic shrimp flavor that ties together for an endlessly flavorful dish. Amazing! Catfish acadiana, 4/5 flaky, crispy catfish fillets covered in the absolute perfect amount of creamy, rich crawfish etoufee so you still retain the crunch of the catfish, with a couple of light and airy hush puppies to dip in the etoufee. Again, delicious. My service was welcoming, attentive, and full of personality from the second I walked through the door. Swamp pop and zydeco play on the speakers. There are 7' alligators, red eared sliders and spiny softshell turtles the size of hubcaps sunning in the bayou off the back deck. If you're looking for a delicious, authentic, Cajun food experience, look no further. A+ all around. ”

We live in Iowa and have family in Louisiana and have made coming down for a vacation a yearly tradition...eating at this place is definitely going to be a new tradition!
