Went on a Wednesday night after dinner time and it was pretty busy. I ordered a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo as my starter. It was flavorful, chunky, and a tad spicy which was not bad considering it was only $4. I the ordered The Fire Bird as my main... Now I wasn't expecting it to be that good and I wasn't starving or anything. Chicken was unbelievably crispy, crunchy, and juicy while the waffle was crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. You can add maple syrup for an extra $1.75 which I did and I also asked for extra spicy sauce. Together they made this delicious combination of spicy, smoky, and sweet. The pickles on top also add a very interesting texture and sourness to the whole meal which confused my tastes buds at first but in the end they thoroughly enjoyed it. All for $21 and the portion was not disappointing. I wasn't so full that I hated myself but I could still squeeze dessert in. For dessert I ordered the mud pie. Wasn't at all what I expected. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. It was cooked in a cast iron mini cauldron and I could taste some of the burnt bits of cake mix. That wasn't very pleasant and I didn't think it was worth the calories so I only hate half of it. Service was nice, and somewhat fast. I was acknowledged right away and received service within minutes. I had been here for lunch before and ordered the deep fried prawns Po Boy. The baguette in my opinion was too thick and tough but everything else in it was amazing. If they changed the baguette for a fluffier inside with a crunchy outside, it would be perfect! In summary, I enjoyed my meals and the atmosphere. I will definitely return again and suggest it to my friends.

I have been here in the past and always considered this to be one of my favourite establishments in Saskatoon. Today, however, I was terribly disappointed with my experience all around. A group of friends and I gleefully headed towards Bon Temps for a lunch that we were very excited for and had been planning for several months. When we arrived, we saw that we had to seat ourselves. No biggie. Totally cool. We then sat there for 20 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us before our orders were placed. Now, keep in mind, we have a one hour lunch. With this being said, nearly 40 minutes later, we still had not received our meals. At this point, we had to rush out of there with our food in takeout bags. I purchased the Fried Oyster salad and was horribly disappointed not just with how little I had received for the nearly $18.00 + tax that I was charged, but it was literally inedible. I had to throw it away. A $20.00 SALAD! Update: I learned that one of their fryers were down, which was not mentioned to our table when we placed our orders. Nearly 3/4 of the individuals there, ordered items that needed to be deep fried. In addition to that, I have felt ill since having a little bit of my salad before I disposed of it. That illness continued into the evening and early morning. I am still not feeling well. Whether or not the illness is linked, I am not sure. I was feeling just fine before consuming the meal and have felt terrible ever since. I am sad to say that I will not be returning.

Another excellent experience at Bon Temps! Ordered a variety or appetizers including the seafood beignets (my favourite appetizer), pimento cheese dip with fresh baguette, shrimp bruschetta, hush puppies, crab cakes and the Bang Bang shrimp! Entre was a BBQ brisket Po Boy with side of mac and cheese! All the food was so fresh and delicious as well as having a nice kick to it! For dessert, beignets and bread pudding which were both delicious! Although the beignets were top notch, I have to give it to the bread pudding... the sauce on top of it was so tasty and worked great with the consistency of the bread pudding! What I love about this place is how unique the ambience and decor is as well as the Cajun creole style of food! Service was friendly and efficient! This wasn't my first time here and it won't be my last time here either!

I really enjoyed my visit here. The decor is super chic, almost reminds me of a fancy medieval dining hall although there’s crabs on the wall. It’s darker in environment but totally sets the vibe. From the menu it looks to be inspired by seafood and Louisiana style cuisine. So definitely has some spice and kick to it. We shared some appys (mussels & the sample plate) and I had the bbq brisket sandwich and Mac and cheese. All of it was incredibly tasty. The Mac and cheese was spicy which caught me off guard But was still good. The bbq brisket sandwich was a 10/10. I also loved the fried corn bread on the sample platter. I would come back if I was in the mood for spicier fare, it’s a very specific menu. The service was attentive and friendly.
