Louisiana's Soul Bayou LSB — Restaurant in Idaho

Louisiana Soul Bayou's Facebook page posted a photo of a Cajun seafood pasta last night as a limited time offering and it looked SO good I had to cross off what we were having for dinner tonight and send my husband on down to get us some to try. I also had him get us a side of ratchet fries to split. We are from ID but visited LA a few years back and dream of the food we had there, and finding anything even remotely similar is next to impossible here.

But this seafood pasta we had? Oh. My. Goodness. Daaaaaang delicious, is really the only way to describe it! It was made with love and the perfect amount of heat. I wish this was offered all the time!

We previously have eaten here and my husband got the jambalaya, and I had a shrimp po boy. Equally as delicious. I've seen a few complaints that the prices are high, but honestly we spend the same amount eating at a sit down restaurant where the food is often the same generic chain restaurant meals. I feel like you get your money's worth here, personally, and that it's well worth it! BIG thanks to Jody + crew for the...

Plain and simple - this place is HIM! As someone who went to school in Louisiana (geaux tigers), has family from and still around Baton Rouge, lived with buddies from south Louisiana, I am able to confirm these folks are making AUTHENTIC Cajun/creole/southern soul food. When I learned that the owners are from New Iberia, Louisiana, I knew it was going to slap. They know how to cook down there in “Da Berry.” They certainly brought that up culture and soul food expertise up here to Idaho.

The kitchen will always let you know what’s fresh and recommend the best bites. They rotate some of the menu based on seasons and availability, but there are consistent items throughout the year that are all good. Perfect spot to stop in before/after seeing a movie, or if you’re out running errands in the area. You’ll know these guys are legit as soon as you peep the menu. Love getting a taste of “home” up here in Idaho! Keep up the GREAT...

I'm shocked that this place is getting good reviews! The food is completely mediocre. As nice as the guys who work here are, do they know that a true po-boy is served on French bread? What I was given was NOT French bread at all. And remoulade sauce is also not put on a po-boy (thankfully I was able to get one without). It was also a lot of money for what you get. The Mac and cheese on the side was rather tasteless. Want a good po-boy in Boise? Your best bet is Hook and Reel. That is expensive too but at least it's authentic (they know that a real po-boy is made on French bread, and make it)! The gumbo at LSB was oversalted (and barely had any okra in it) but at least was reasonably priced. What I had was edible but was disappointing for what I paid for it. Signed, a true Cajun who has been to New Orleans and Southern...
