OMG! I ordered the chicken strip po' boy sandwich and Cajun fries. It was SUPER delicious!! My daughter ordered the fried shrimp & Cajun fries. We would love to give them a 10 star review. Also, Ashley the cashier was very kind. Thank you for the delicious lunch.

I did not know this place existed let alone so close to my house. But it is good to know that we do have Louisiana right here in the middle of Inglewood Ca. From the fish to the shrimp to the jambalaya. I loved every bit of it and will be coming back very soon. Now I'm going to go back for the gumbo 👊😎

It’s all been great so far. The fried catfish is on point but I have also loved the crawfish tails, oysters and shrimp. This is where I go to get my fried seafood fix and the prices can’t be beat. I’ve been twice and I’ve included the pictures from both trips.

Spent $35.00 for two "crab cakes" and gumbo. Both "crab cakes" were burnt, and the gumbo tasted old. My gripe is with the poor quality food served for the high price. Being a first-time guest, the food was still presented poorly, prepared old, and burnt, which caused this visit to be the last.

Great portions and plenty of seafood in your dishes. Everything looks and tastes authentic, fresh. Great prices. Would rate a 4.5 Cons: Some shrimp a bit overcooked and my ettouffe wasn't as creamy as I usually like and a bit too spicy vs the spicy shrimp with green and red bell peppers very good and not spicy. Gumbo needed a bit more flavor. Great crab cake with plenty of meat. We had the gumbo- Lots of seafood and Great price. Etouffe Crab Cake Jambalaya. Rice and bread included and very good.

Amazing seafood! Louisiana style cuisine that is fresh and tasty. Love their fried fish (catfish and snapper) and shrimp, and that every meal comes with spicy cocktail sauce and French bread. The crab cakes and jambalaya are pretty good too.

Bayou Grille provides outstanding New Orleans food with excellent customer service. The catfish, crawfish, crab cakes, jambalaya and other food items stand at the top of LA’s best. The restaurant has consistent events and you may even catch some live jazz. Excellent food and excellent atmosphere!

1 salmon croquette approximately $10- One out of 10. Ended up in the trash. Not tasty at all. 1 crab cake approximately $10- 3.5 out of 10. The tartar sauce was good so that helped it. Would not order again 1 order of french fries approximately five dollars- you know it’s not good when you throw fries away. Tasted like they were cooked in old grease In my opinion they need to revamp all of their recipes. I wondered why I hadn’t eaten here in years. Now I know why. Nothing was good and I had to find something else to eat. Good food is more than just putting some cajun seasoning. Feel free to try on your own but I will not be returning.
