Boutte's Bayou Restaurant

I've been here many times over the years, they used to sell the cutest hand-painted birthday cards featuring alligators and mosquitoes. The food is what it should be, traditional poboys made well. I think it's interesting they are located on the water but have no outdoor seating, did not build out a patio overlooking the bayou. I've even arrived by boat and needed to come around to the front side (parking lot side).

We came here after an airboat tour, and got alligator bites, fish on a roll, chicken tenders, and a hamburger- all were fantastic, the fish and alligator bites especially! The outdoor eating is charming, you're really right on the river. Definitely worth a stop!

The food truck is in the parking lot. Go past the food truck to what looks to be an old house that is on the water. After walking through a long hallway there is a handwritten sign with the menu on it. Continue further past there and you can either choose to sit inside or outside. There is a step to get outside that’s a little bit tricky. There is a helpful attendant who essentially is a food runner between the food truck and your table. When you pay, you pay at the food truck out front when you leave. They’re doing a great job of making do with what they have after hurricane Ida. We had the steak nachos which were made with fried egg roll wrappers instead of tortilla chips. The steak was the kind you would find on a cheesesteak sandwich. With fresh tomatoes and onions and a nacho cheese sauce they were delicious. It was a great place to have a afternoon snack and watch the boats. The restaurant was 1/2 to 2/3 full and it took about 10 minutes to get our food. Our server was exceptionally helpful. One star missing because they did the math wrong and tried to overcharge us.

Great selection of sea food and excellent service. Our waitress even helped teach us to open up crawfish to eat. Will definitely go back. Thank you!

I had a great experience here 2/4/2021

I didn't know what to order so I had the waiter and owner pick for me. I just asked for an appetizer and an entrée.

They brought me fresh crab cakes which were delightful and for my entrée it was a red snapper with potatoes and some sort of sauce. The picture doesn't do it justice. Great experience and great food.
