    Yes, a real restaurant in Vidor that's not a fast food joint. For a town of 10,000 people, I'm shocked that there are not more. Bayou Cafe is something that you'll find only in this area; if you find it in a different locale, it's likely imported. Here, this southern food is the real thing. Don't let the "Texas" in the address fool you; Cajun culture crosses state lines from Looziana into Southeast Texas. They have shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried, pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. And gumbo. And that's all I have to say about that. Well, maybe more. The Hunny had a Cajun platter, complete with catfish, fries, and hush puppies. I had a Mardi Gras sandwich and gumbo, also fries. Sandwich had shrimp, which is why it is higher priced, but the spice it had made it goood, especially when I put Louisiana hot sauce on it. The hush puppy had jalapenos in it, so too hot for the Hunny. But she loved the catfish. Bayou Cafe is set up as a smaller version of such famous places as Mulate's, Randall's, and Prejean's. They built a patio area outside to the left, and this is where they have the live bands. Not many people there when we had our date night, but the Hunny said, "When I was comin' home from church, that place was FULL!" Bayou Cafe, a mid-range restaurant that fits right in here in Coonie Texas. Come with a group, or you can eat all bayou seff.

    The boudin egg rolls, the grilled shrimp tacos, and the grilled fish tacos are excellent.

    Another of us ordered the fried shrimp which came with 12 shrimp, hush puppies and instead of fries she ordered potato salad, which was homemade and tasted good.
