Blue Bayou Inn — Restaurant in Town of Manitowish Waters

I loved this place. I enjoy all things cajun and creole. I'll start by saying I hope to visit this place when there are no covid restrictions. You will absolutely need reservations. Penny is lovely to talk to on the phone and set up everything. They have a spectacular view and the location is great. The seafood pate and bread and crackers are good. They have a spread remoulade you get it has horseradish and is great. And the have great real butter. The soup was amazing I got the strawberry rhubarb cold soup. It was like drinking a strawberry rhubarb crumble. My wife hates cold food but loved this and will get it next time. She had chicken and wild rice and enjoyed it. The next course was a little salad. Had all your basic salad needs. Got cajun dressing it was good and non spicy which I would have been fine for more heat. Main course I got the sample platter. The catfish blackened was phenomenal. Crawfish etouffee I got half and half spicy/ creamy. The spicy totally had kid and creamy was great as a Ying Yang. And finally the jambalaya was to die for. Loved the cheese and sausage and everything packed inside it. My wife had blackened filet and she really enjoyed it. Another friend got blackened shrimp and while she enjoyed it she wished Gulf shrimp would have been larger. All in all its great place to visit and try a hurricane and sign up to get a free shirt. And be sure to get a dessert even if you gotta take it home from...

Every time I am at the cabin we visit! Been visiting since I can remember and they always have a chefs creation which we love! Love everything on their menu and their view is gorgeous. Love their staff have a mojito they grow their own mint and they are to die for! Also, their salad cart has the best bleu cheese I have ever had and it’s so fun choosing the ingredients. The Cajun Ramulade is the best also we always buy a bottle so we have some for Christmas with crackers or shrimp. They have a unique soup which is chilled Strawberry Rhubarb and we love ordering that every time since no where else have I seen this. Their cook book is amazing to purchase as well. This is a fancy restaurant so we always dress up and love it since we wear flannels and jeans all the time to keep the mosquitoes out. Hoping to have my reception there in 2025 to see Pam my friend and the best staff you will ever meet works there!!! Love love love the memories and the dining experience. Nothing is like this gem! Can’t wait to go in...

Terrific dining experience with wonderful service. We made a reservation and although it was not particularly busy at that time, there was a steady fill up later on. There was a host, someone to take drink orders, explain the menu and specials, bring food, prepare salads. All were professional, knew their stuff and were well prepared. The food was delicious. Included with entrees are seafood pate with hot bread, a soup (gumbo was dark and rich), table side salad. We also had alligator bites, Cajun sampler (fantastic blackened catfish - thick filled, beautifully cooked) and the blackened Lakefish. Everything was hot and fresh and prepared with care. Good choice of wines by the glass and bottle, Abita beers too. And don't forget dessert (pecan tart was moist with a crisp shell). The view is onto Manitowosh Lake and there are outside tables and docks. This was an excellent dining experience. Highly...
