Best WLM Reviews

My husband and I are SO happy we stopped here for a bite after our swamp tour. Brett took such good care of us and whipped up some of the best food we’ve had in Louisiana! Great convo, great food, great guy! A must stop!
Thank you Chef Bret for the impeccable hospitality during our visit to your lovely restaurant on a boat in the Bayou!
We each had a shrimp po boy of the fried and blackened varieties and the boudin rolls. The flavor of everything was incredible and definitely made with love. Excellent portions.
When we’re back in the Bayou we’ll definitely stop back in!
I've been here many times over the years, they used to sell amazing hand-painted, swamp-themed birthday cards. The food is what it should be, traditional poboys made well. Seafood preparation is perfect. The po-boy bread is a little softer and sweeter than traditional, though its still nice. The restaurant has changed since Hurricane Ida to a large docked houseboat on the water, behind the ruins of the old restaurant. The boat has a screened deck over the water that I think is an upgrade from the original seating area.
The food was hot and the portion sizes were great for the price. I had the shrimp nachos and my wife had the shrimp Po Boy. You must try this place if you’re in the area. We definitely will come back on our next visit.
We were staying on Baritaria and were looking for authentic sea food. We absolutely loved everything about this place!
From the waitress and cook to the heaping portions, it was exactly what we were hoping for!
For the price, taste and serving sizes , this place should've been packed!!!
If you're looking for the best fried fish, perfectly seasoned fries or an A+ staff, this is it!
What we ordered:
Fish, shrimp, oysters, gator bites, crab cake po' boy, shrimp po' boy, chicken strips, burger...Every single thing was delicious!
OMG!! Cannot say enough about this place. We had the shrimp nachos, gumbo, the surf and turf special and the seafood platter. Absolutely everything was delicious. If you are looking for authentic Cajun food, with a great atmosphere and personal service Boutte’s Bayou Restaurant is just where you need to go!! So thankful we made the drive from New Orleans!!!!
The food and service were sublime. The boudin eggrolls are probably the best thing I've ever had, the shrimp po' boy was light and crispy, and the soft shell crab was melt-in-your-mouth crispy and fresh. Definitely recommend it to anyone who's down in this area visiting or taking a swamp tour.
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.
