After reading many reviews of Bayou Jaq’s I decided to check it out for myself. Being from Baton Rouge, I am very experienced in eating great cajun cuisine. My wife and I had the #1 Cajun Duo and enjoyed it very much. The crab, shrimp, eggs, and potatoes were cooked perfectly. The only reason that I give the food a 4-star rating versus a 5, is because the corn was cold. I believe it was frozen before they boiled it. I would suggest they thaw the food before cooking it. Regardless, I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely return. We were surprised at the lack of customers on our visit, but noticed their roadside sign is small and unlit compared to nearby businesses. I hope their business picks up so we can continue to enjoy this restaurant for years to come.

Hole in the wall Cajun/seafood spot in Edmond. I’ve probably driven by here hundreds of times and never noticed it. The building entrance is kinda weird if you’re not entering directly from the side of the street it’s on, but it’s definitely something you can figure out. My husband and I got the Monday special- 2 for $32 and it was a perfect serving of food for us. We got the bayou mix butter/seasoning which had a little bit of a kick- good for me but on the spicier side for my husband. One thing I would recommend is watching a video on how to open the crab legs up prior to coming. We figured it out eventually with the tools they have but it took some practice. We also asked the staff there and she said she didn’t know how to either which was pretty strange for that being a big item on their menu. Overall we enjoyed the food.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. First, the positives: there was plenty of parking, the atmosphere was great, and the menu had a lot of appealing options. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made us feel comfortable right away.
For our meal, we ordered the Big Ole Shrimp Platter. The food was well-seasoned and flavorful, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark. The platter was advertised as 20 shrimp each, yet between two orders we only received a total of 24 shrimp. On top of that, the shrimp was slightly overcooked, the potatoes were undercooked, and everything arrived warm instead of piping hot.
While we did leave full, we also left feeling disappointed, as the execution didn’t live up to the great atmosphere and service.
I am leaving a one star review to match the warm food and half the shrimp missing from our order.

Seriously y’all THIS place was phenomenal. The food was finger licking good. Bold flavors, juicy seafood, and a server that was helpful, pleasant and left us leaving with a smile and fully bellies. We will definitely come back 5/5 stars all around!

I was craving fried catfish. I ordered the 4 piece catfish w/Waffle fries. I was instantly disappointed with the food I received. They did not serve me catfish. The fish had no taste to it. I only tasted the cornmeal batter. The waitress was extremely polite. I do appreciate her mannerisms. The alcoholic drinks were not good. She did mention she’s the back up bartender. My experience will not bring me back to this establishment. I thought just by the name and having a few cars in the lot I have found a hidden gem. Boy I was wrong. I passed by a similar restaurant whose parking lot was full of cars. I regret not going there. The cars in the parking lot will let you know if the food is worth trying.

If you want to feast like kings and queens you should come here! Everything was bursting with flavor. My girlfriend got the shrimp and crab boil. I got the catfish sliders. Her boil was made with a spicy butter Cajun mix. It was delicious. My sliders were also very good. We shared the corn hush puppies. The employees were all super nice and helpful. Will definitely be going back.

Food was spot on. Perfect portions. Reasonable prices. Maps will direct you to the wrong parking lot if you’re coming south.

We decided to try this restaurant and since the pictures looked so yummy we wanted to give it a try! Sadly we were disappointed. Our shrimp and potatoes were undercooked, we got another meal that included and lobster tail( didn’t get a pic) that was way too overcooked. And the crab legs had a flavor that seemed kind of off. Maybe we just caught them on a bad night idk lol.

The catfish was delicious — perfectly seasoned and cooked just right! Portions are generous and well worth the price. On top of that, the staff was friendly and provided great customer service. I’ll definitely be back whenever I have a taste for good catfish!
