Good service and tasty seafood, but the chicken fajitas and dated atmosphere don’t justify the price. If you’re a seafood lover you may enjoy it, but for Tex-Mex or a nicer dining experience there are better nearby options.

I’m giving The Blue Bayou three stars — and it really could have been higher if one dish hadn’t fallen short.

We ordered the trio Cajun boil and a shrimp plate with vegetables and rice. Both were flavorful, the seafood tasted fresh, and the food came out quickly. Our waiter was also very friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately, my entrée — the chicken fajitas — was disappointing. The chicken was dry and came with no salsa. Instead, there were lots of jalapeños but only a small amount of beans (3 tbsp) and chopped tomatoes (2 tbsp). The portion felt small and I left still hungry. In Texas, where Tex-Mex is everywhere, you expect solid fajitas, especially for guests who can’t eat seafood.

The atmosphere also hurt the experience. The restaurant feels dated and more like a weekend bar than a comfortable dinner spot. The dining area needs updating, although the restrooms were surprisingly clean.

Our bill was about $94 plus a 15% gratuity, which felt expensive for what we received. With the same budget, nearby restaurants offer a much better atmosphere and stronger non-seafood options.

I absolutely love Blue Bayou Cafe! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is outstanding.

Ingrid is the best! She goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels taken care of. Her kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude truly make the experience even better.

If you’re looking for great food and amazing service, I highly recommend Blue Bayou Cafe. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was really good and came out hot and fresh. The staff was polite and helpful. The only thing I’d say is the wait time was a little longer than expected, but overall it was worth it. I’ll definitely return!

Leslie and chuy amazing host

We enjoyed this establishment! The atmosphere, vibe and music was great. Every team member we encountered was polite and smiling. Jackie our waitress was wonderful. She gives very good customer service. My husband and I really enjoyed talking to Mr Randy. To top it off the owner came by and visited with us. Very laid back and made us feel even more welcome and relaxed. I had boiled shrimp. It wasn’t Louisiana spicy so ask for extra spicy but it was still good and flavorful. My husband had the fried catfish seasoned perfectly. My drink was delicious I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a casual outing with good food good prices and kickback. We’ll be back ⚜️

Everything was great!!! A group of us drove in from Porter to catch some live entertainment and good food and we had the best time! They have an area with full tables, a nice size stage, and room for dancing plus a live DJ who really caters to his crowd. The food was great and we had a variety of drinks (beer, cocktails, and wine…there was something for everyone). The dirty rice was FLAVOURFUL!! Guillermo was a great host as he took a late call from me the night before to make a table reservation and our server, Jackie was just amazing!! She made sure the night was perfect for us! They have live entertainment all the time so we will return!

This was like 2-3 weeks ago. First they took forever(25 mins) when it was like 4 people eating in there because it was like 4pm on a weekday to get my Togo order when it came it was wrong because they tried to charge me 2 dollars more than the sandwich I ordered. I opened the container and it was fried with something on it and I ordered a gril chicken sandwich with nothing on it hot sauce on the side. The manager came over explaining this is it so I showed her on the menu what I ordered and what they are trying to charge so she said give her 7 mins she would have the right order done it took I timed it 13 mins 40 seconds got it to come out. She still charged me a dollar more because she just put a 2 dollar discount but the tax was based on the original messed up price, mean time I’m waiting I’m talking to a guy at the bar who tells the bartender this is his 5th time here and everytime he comes they mess something up with order and then he hears about mine. So I leave go back to my hotel since im outta town on business. I open my food take a bite and as you can see from the pictures the chicken wasn’t cooked fully. And some of the fries are literally raw. Wish I had used my credit card because I would’ve charged it back. Definitely won’t be back here as I come to Houston and this area often.

I don’t know where to start on saying thanks to Blue bayou and Guillermo the owner. Him and his blue bayou staff have been so awesome, catering on our INDIGENOUS CAR CLUB show, my birthday and today on our president Jojo Perez 50th birthday! Food is great and the service is on point! Thank you Blue Bayou! ❤️

We decided to try out this restaurant, I typically don’t leave reviews but this was an amazing experience. The seafood was immaculate! Nice and spicy. Our server Eduardo was a delight, providing excellent customer service, going the extra mile. He even offered to take a group Photo. I’m very impressed and I think my husband and I will become regulars here!!
