The Bayou Affect

Stopped in at The Bayou Affect while working through Baton Rouge, and damn—it hit the spot. The wings were straight-up addicting, that spicy lemon pepper needs its own fan club. Catfish was crispy, seasoned right, and cooked with care. Portions? Big enough to refuel after a long day grinding. Service was cool, vibe was clean, and the food came out hot. You can tell they’re serious about flavor and feeding folks like family. This ain’t fast food—it’s real food. If you're ever out this way and want something that feels homemade but hits hard, don’t sleep on it. I’ll definitely be back.

Food was overall OK! This could have been 5 stars had it been warmer. I had the Lamb Chops & pasta. We were prepared to wait atleast 30 minutes being that we were a walk in order so the long wait time is expected however, the temperature of the food did not match the wait time. Food was seasoned to perfection however pasta is the best when it's hot, not cool/warm.

I give it 5 stars because my family loved their food and stated it was seasoned very well!!! I went with the half rack of lamb chops knowing I don't care for the musty smell of lamb chops (I've just accept that lamb chops is an acquired taste that I will never have) so I won't state that they weren't good because the lady eating next to us was KILLING HER LAMB CHOPS 🤣 We waited a little over an hour (that's from placing the order to receiving our food). The staff was very friendly and upbeat even though their A/C is clearly broken. The thermostat was set on 72 but reading 84 and went up to 85 by the time we left. Since we live 45 minutes away, I don't see myself going out the way to come back. However, my teens are stating they can't wait to use their allowances to order from here and have it delivered via doordash! To the owners, keep up the good work as far as quality of staff and for extremely large portion sizes even in an economy where everything is increasing and quantity is decreasing 👏👏

This food was seasoned by the Gods!!! 30/10! Fresh! One bite of the lamb chop and I could hear, now behold the lamb, the precious lamb of God playing in my head!!! LOL I ordered egg rolls as well 30/10 and the mango lemonade!! 29/10 bc I need it in a slushee form as well!! Please eat here!

This restaurant gets a 10 out of 10 hands-down the food is amazing. Today I tried the lamb chops for the first time. I am in love the loaded potato and the mac & cheese spot on delicious. The customer service wonderful they’re very nice and polite and check on their customers they make you feel comfortable. So if you’re looking for Good Louisiana Creole dishes stop by. It is very good. I recommend it. I love it.❤️ My first visit I had the shrimp burger and fries so I’m posting a picture of that as well. The food is amazing.❤️❤️

This place if amazing! Service is good and food is 10/10 hands down!! This one of those plates where if you put it in the fridge and someone eat it yall have to fight !!!!! Baby they season them lamb chops like somebody life was on the line!!! The creole pasta 10/10 amazingly creamy and flavorful!!! The Mac & cheese is different from back home in NC but still 10/10!!! Everything was absolutely delicious! We certainly will be back. I appreciate the cleanliness of the establishment as well. Just makes the guest experience even more enjoyable. To the owner and chef we absolutely appreciate the love you put into this food I wish your company much success and prosperity!!!!

Usually hesitate to eat anywhere claiming to be “bayou”, but let me say, this place did the bayou justice! Flavorful! Incredible! Hot! Crispy! Perfection! Yall keep doing your thing!

The young lady taking our order was very nice and polite. The wait was long and extremely hot. For a Business with that much heat in the lobby, water should have been offered. Once we finally received our food, it was nice and hot but a little on the salty side. The mac-n-cheese and yams were good. The container in which our food was served was definitely not a great choice! The young lady wipped them down before handing to us and clearly it didn't make a difference. Suggestion to owner, make a change as it is not a good representation for your food! Please work on your AC system as it is terrible, point blank.
