Cajun Cafe On The Bayou — Restaurant in Thibodaux

The people at this restaurant are absolutely amazing and very kind. Service was quick given the fact it's a small business.

The food on the other hand was not the best. My fiance and grandma had the roast beef sandwhich. Grandma has lived in labadieville a long time and used to go there often, but hasn't been in a quite a while. She said her sandwhich was not good and only ate half. This is coming from a person who LOVES roast beef poboys. My fiance said that the meat tasted like it wasn't evenly seasoned. Some bites were very salty while others were really bland.

I ordered the Yaya pasta with blackened chicken. It sounded very good on the menu, but the sauce was extremely underseasoned and watery. Unfortunately to me it kinda of tasted like tap water. The chicken wasn't seasoned much either, it did not taste peppery. I do also beleive the items are overpriced for the portion size. For all three meals with no drinks...

Ordered 3 roast beef po-boys, hamburger steak, Fish platter, shrimp platter and onion rings @ 6:30 pm. They said they would call me when it was almost ready. 7:30 pm comes and no phone call so I called them, not ready they said 10-15 more minutes I leave without a phone call and get there at 8:00 pm. There is a bag on the counter with the po-boys and onion rings. Again, it was so on the counter sitting there. The rest of the food was not ready! It wasn’t until 8:30 pm when the rest of the food came out. There was just a....... I am sorry for the wait from the waitress not the owners.......... 2 hour wait!!!!! Needles to say the po-boys were so soggy and cold and it was nasty! Pretty sad because if they would be able to run the kitchen right it would be good. Paid too much money for this...

First, this may be the friendliest restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to have lunch. Secondly, the food was outstanding. We had the boudin balls as an appetizer. They arrive hot and delicious. I ordered the seafood platter with onion rings. The fried food was light and tasty. The fish was not fishy like many places I’ve eaten at other locations. The butterfly shrimp were large and satisfying. My only suggestion would be to cook the oysters a minute less, but they were still not over cooked.

The generous portions of homemade roast beef on the poboy was extremely filling and we took home half a sandwich. My teenage son ordered the shrimp egg rolls and didn’t leave any for sharing.

This was a great place to stop for lunch and I can say if we’re ever in the area, we...
