Reviews for The Bayou Affect in Baton Rouge, LA
The seafood rolls were empty. Also, the cashier needs customer service training. I will give them another try, but I definitely... won?t buy the rolls again. Read more
I absolutely love this place! The fried fish & seafood potato plate was amazing, very flavorful & the plate was so full you... could eat off of it twice. Every time I go here they never disappoint! I also def recommend the lamb chops 10/10 Read more
I?ve been here at least 8 times and I haven?t been disappointed. The fish sliders were 12/10 ! The seafood eggrolls were... AMAZING! Especially the sauce. I always got it paired with the asparagus if I?m looking for something to hold me over if I?m outand about. The fried fish is a 10/10 ! Every time I go in, I?m greeted with a warm smile. Whoever is at the counter usuallyrepeats the order back to me to make sure it?s correct before it?s sent off to the kitchen. If there?s a wait, the staff alwaysinformed me so I would choose to sit in the car. To help them out, I always told them what I?m driving and where I parked. Theguy at the front would always bring my food out. He repeats the order back before handing it to me and always remembered theutensils. I?ve worked in the restaurant/customer service industry for about 7 years so I automatically notice a lot of qualitiesin a restaurant. This place is worth the visit ! Read more
The wings tasted grilled and had amazing flavor. Best garlic parmesan wings I've ever had. The Mac and cheese were the creamiest... ever as well. I can't say enough good things about the loaded mashed potatoes and of course the fried fish was on point. Theshrimp also tasted grilled and were truly plump and delicious. The only thing lacking was not having a dessert menu. Amazingplace surprised this is the first I have heard of it considering it is almost a year old. Read more
I didn't have a super great experience as most have had at this restaurant. I ordered online. I chose the lamb dinner with two... sides. There was food missing from the plate and I had to wait for it to be fixed. The flavor of the lamb was really good but itwas overcooked. I want to go back in hopes of getting the wow factor I anticipated for this time. I am surprised about myoverall experience though, and I wish it were different. Read more
I really wanted to leave five stars, but it wasn?t a five star experience for me. I ordered the half rack of Lamb Chops with two... sides. First, let me just say the taste of the food is great! However, it?s way too salty. Also, the food is overpricedconsidering you get such small portions. This place has so much potential. I just don?t want a headache after eating it and Iwould like $35 dollars worth of food. Other than that, the chops were very tender and had a great taste. Just hold the salt andgive the customer what they are paying for! Read more
Me and my boyfriend got the wings and seafood potatoes with macaroni and yams, which were $3.99 per side. The wings were 10/10.... They had enough sauce and were a good size. The potatoes, however, were dry and clumpy. The shrimp on top were good and seasonedbut they weren?t hot. The macaroni wasn?t all that. They had oil sitting at the bottom the container and they weren?t all thatcheesy. Not to mention, for 3.99 they only fill the container 1/3 of the way(picture included). The yams were okay. Customerservice was great. The guy who took our order was nice. and we saw him bring someones food out to their car so we thought hewould bring ours out, but he didn?t. and our food was sitting on the counter for a while and they didn?t tell us anything. Ourfood came out to be $65 and we couldn?t even get a full container of our sides and the potatoes weren?t all that good. expensiveplace. Read more
Food took too long to be delivered. Which may not have been the bayou affects fault. However, them over-frying my food was! I... had 3 plates. 2 of the 3 had small over-fried shrimp. All we could taste was , old oil and the fact it was over-fried. Yamstaste like they were canned, no sweetness/brown sugar , nothing appealing. Just bland yams. The fries were cold, and fish wasnot good. It appeared like everything was fried in old oil. I did order the seafood rolls and they were decent. Basically acrawfish/seafood étouffée in an egg roll. No utensils, ketchup, tarter sauce or ketchup. Not even a napkin. Nothing worthreturning especially for the price. Read more
