How do you mess up making Red Beans and Rice? Â Well, having no sausage in in (like it says it has in the menu) .... and rice that is not thoroughly cooked. Â
The Crawfish Etouffee was all roux, very few crawfish and three 2" pieces of celery...?? WTH..?? Â Spicy, yes. Â Most people probably could not handle it.
Shrimp Gumbo.... Horrible. Â Wouldn't feed it to my dog. Â Embarrassing indeed.
Boudin Balls.... what? Â You DO NOT fry boudin. Period.
Save your business and fire your cook, cause he or she sure is not a chef.
Only redeeming quality you ask?? Â The beer was cold.
I stopped by here for a nightcap with my brother, because we wanted a place close to 98th & Frankford.
The Good:
I asked for a double of Crown on the rocks, and they gave me the little crushed ice. I love little crushed ice! I'd never had it like that before and it seemed to cut the taste well while keeping the drink cold.
The beer was cold.
The Bad:
What absolutely, 100% turned me off about this place was the waitresses/bartenders. The whole time we sat there trying to enjoy our beers, avoid talking like men do, and watch the CWS game, all they did was complain about their evening. They weren't even complaining to us. They were loudly talking about how much that night sucked because two big parties came in and they were short handed. I understand that the situation wasn't optimal for them, but professionalism means shutting up in front of the customers and continuing to give them a great experience.
We seemed to be rushed out of the door even though, I thought, we had plenty of time until close. I guess closing is when they want it to be.
Overall:
I'm half-temped to try food there one day, but otherwise, there are far better places to have a drink.
Note to the waitresses: Everyone's job sucks, and it doesn't do much difference to complain about it. Suck it up and put a smile on!
I ordered the crawfish étouffée ($9.50) and found 4 or 5 crawfish tails swimming in a sea of dark brown sauce. I asked the waitress to come see for herself. The kitchen brought out 5 more crawfish tails in a bowl.  This is the worst service recovery I have ever experience.  This is after the manager came over to my table to talk to me.  The other 3 friends of mine also were not impressed with their portion size.  I should have read earlier reviews on Yelp about this restaurant!
I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE.
Four of us wanted to go out but didn't really feel like getting all dolled up and ready to fight the usual douche bags you find at bars around campus. We found exactly what we were looking for.
Gator's Bayou was a low key laid back bar/restaurant that seemed to have a loyal following. It was very lively during the Cowboys game but I think a few of the people should have been kicked to the curb... some of the guys were pretty annoying. The drinks were reasonably priced and the service was decent. A huge plus was that is smoke free.
The sole reason Gator's Bayou didn't get more stars is because our waitress was trying really hard to flirt with some people a few tables over. I'm pretty sure she spent more time adjusting her boobs then she spent helping us.
