Top notch crawfish boil, large portions and we'll spiced. Gumbo was EXCELLENT. Fried shrimp had an excellent texture, wasn't spicy but the sauces were just right. Waitress Emily was quick and attentive without being annoying.

My spouse and myself visited Bayou boys for the first time. I ordered the special, crab legs and shrimp. Everything was fresh and hot. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. Potatoes and corn were excellent. Cocktail sauce had a great bite. My wife ordered the chicken Alfredo and had cajun seasoning added. She says it was very good. It had shredded chicken and plenty of it. The only negative was is it was just a tad salty. Service was great. I highly recommend Bayou Boys. We plan on going back

Went to dinner with family from out of town. This place has been their favorite for quite a while. The food here is always amazing and being from the coast of Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay, I was excited to see oysters on the half shell. We had a party of 7 that ended up being a party of 5. The real reason I’m writing this is the amazing service provided by Dylan. His positive attitude, humor, work ethic and all around politeness was such a refreshing experience. If you decide to eat here, I would highly suggest asking for Dylan as a server. Thanks again Dylan!!

My husband and I had a fantastic time yesterday. Right from the start it was a great experience I gave my waiter a 20 tip in the beginning and he showed his thankfulness through out the rest of our dinner. Our food was fresh and made to order and our drinks were amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who loves sea food!

This place was great, was skeptical to get good seafood in the mountains, but this place definitely hit the spot while away on business!!!! Dylan was awesome!

Cajun food is so rare in East TN. This place does not disappoint. I love it! My suggestions for the owner: serve more varieties of boudin and serve cracklins! Love them!

Love this restaurant, we went for the first time and will definitely be coming back. The atmosphere and delicious food had us feeling like we were in the Big Easy. As appetizers we started with the Swamp Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes in a Crab & Shrimp Cream Sauce; the fries smothered in roast beef and rich cheese could have been a meal in itself as could the generous portion of green tomatoes which were fried to perfection and the crab & shrimp cream sauce just took them over the top. Our entree choices were Crawfish Etouffee & Shrimp & Grits, the Etouffee was filled with tender crawfish and spiced just right and my husband cleaned his bowl with his bread it was so good. The grits were delicious fried squares topped with plump shrimp and a delicate cream sauce, I had enough to take some home. Our dessert was Beignets, so good with a mound of confectionery sugar...took us back to Cafe Du Monde. The service was excellent and our waitress was so friendly and attentive and the owner stopped by our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this establishment to anyone that loves fresh seafood and Southern cooking.

Last night my family and I celebrated my daughter’s birthday and mine at Bayou Boys. I called early in the morning and made a reservation for a party of 20. When we got there they took us to the party room. The party room had another party there of 20 plus which was fine. They had only one waitress to take care of both groups and let me tell you she was awesome. Her name was Emily was very attentive and her service was exceptional. Food was great and so was Emily’s service to both tables
