Highs and lows. I wanted to really like this place. It's quirky, it's unique, but it's hit and miss. I got the jambalaya. If you've ever made Zataran's at home then you've had the Bayou's jambalaya. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't restaurant quality.
My wife got the catfish po boy with sweet potato fries and I would consider these a success. The fries are thick cut and homemade with a slight beading on them. Very good. The piece of catfish wad large, Nicky beaded, and with all the fixin's it was quite tasty.
The oysters were ok, but lacked any of that brine or seasalt flavor that I expect.
The brand of beers they had on tap was also disappointing. Being in Wisconsin we know our beers and these were mediocre at best.
Overall I would go back, but I'd probably stick to the po boys, sweet potato fries, and skip the rest.
