It's nice to see a new restaurant in town. Our friends told us they wanted to go to the grand…read moreopening, asked us if we wanted to go, and of course, we said yes, and now here I am with my experience that started on May 22 at 1:03pm. When we walked in, we were sat immediately and handed menus. The restaurant looked a mess. Like the lunch rush just left. You could tell they were busy, but now most customers have gone and dirty tables everywhere and we have no idea who our server is yet. The young woman who greeted us and gave us menus came back to get our drink orders. I wanted a glass of iced water. I don't mind bottled water, but not having any ice for drinks in the summertime is ridiculous. The manager should've stepped up and either sent someone or they themselves could've drove to a store and bought some. So right from the start, they're giving us the excuse of being busy and ran out of ice. Okay, well it wasn't busy anymore and you're just going to serve bottled drinks because no ice? Ugh, okay. We ordered the fried pickled okra and our friends ordered the gator tail bites for appetizers. The info on my pic stated 1:44pm. So we've been sitting here for 40 minutes and somewhere between 1:03 and 1:30 we finally get to meet our server. I understand needing a break after a mad rush, but first impressions are everything and so far, not impressed with service. But high five to the hostess! And the appetizers were both hot and delicious. We were bummed until we got our appetizers. Next our food comes. I was the only one who didn't order gumbo(thank goodness) and got the catfish po boy. I'm not trying to bash this business, but sometimes the truth hurts. That was the worst gumbo they(my table) have ever had! If you look at the photos I took, it looks like they added water to it or something. At least that's what they all said. And if they make their own roux, you couldn't tell. My beautiful po boy was extra salty and if you're going to serve it with big chunks of lettuce, at least make sure you cut the bad parts off. Look at my pics and look at the lettuce. The inside decorations were cute and reminds you of NOLA. I was tempted to order the beignets but after what we were served, didn't want to lose any more money. It was a huge let down. Hopefully they'll get it together and be consistent. Maybe they're new to running a restaurant and figuring things out as they go? I don't know but all I can say is good luck.

Was travelling through Ashland City and was hungry so I did a search and The Cajun River Bistro…read morelooked promising. When I arrived Britt got me a table and something to drink while I looked over the menu. There's a decent selection standard Cajun appetizers, meals, and sandwiches and I decided to try their Tour of NOLA. This consisted of a small bowl of Gumbo Ya Ya (chicken and andouille sausage), The Gulf (shrimp & crabmeat), and Queen of Rice (red beans & rice with andouille sausage). All three were quite good, a nice bit of kick, but each of them were very flavorful and not overpowered by heat. My favorite was The Gulf...nice spice and loved the seafood flavors. Enjoyed the Red Beans and Rice built on a solid roux, great flavors, and tender beans. This is a nice way to sample a number of dishes and the meal was filling. They have only been open 10 days, but the food and service shined and everyone took great care of me. I met the owners Lynn Cathey & Sammy Naquin...great folks and they are excited about their new business. I'll be back the next time I'm passing through...the Muffuletta sounds delicious!

We were seated within 10 minutes. The trouble started from there. We waited for 10 minutes to order our drinks, then waited for 15 minutes to receive our water. Knowing beforehand that this place takes a little longer, we went ahead and put our food order in. We then waited for 1 1/2 hours with no food. Not only that, we were checked on *once* in that time period. We finally left, after no word on our food. I understand it's all part of the experience and that there is usually a wait, but the lack of communication and the service level were horrible. 4 hours after we left our house, we ate fast food burgers on our way home.

I found myself near their weekend restaurant in Santa Fe and placed an order to bring home. Crawfish & Shrimp Étouffée...one of their signature dishes and my absolute favorite.

Filled with crawfish along with large shrimp and rice...this meal is the epitome of Cajun cuisine. Christy took excellent care of me and while this is an hour away, I will be back!

My sister ordered the crawfish étouffée, which was well-seasoned with just the right amount of kick. It came with plenty of rice and crawfish, making it a hearty and satisfying dish. I ordered the shrimp wedge salad, and they definitely did not skimp on the shrimp! The blackened shrimp was perfectly seasoned and paired wonderfully with the bleu cheese dressing. A nice surprise was the bacon--not crumbled on top, but two large slices that added great flavor and texture. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails. I ordered the Flower Drop, which was recommended by the bartender, and it was absolutely delicious. My sister chose the Golden Hour, which was a bit more spirit-forward compared to my drink but still very enjoyable. Overall, everything was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was great. Ambiance low key which I love and family friendly as it's set in the Factory! I'll definitely be back!

I came back to celebrate my recent retirement following 25 years of service in the Air Force. Not only did Herb remember me, but he thought it no robbery to celebrate me with a very special dessert--I've totally been sleeping on the bread pudding and beignet on Sunday--IYKYK!

It was about 10:15pm when we arrived, so the place was fairly empty, but it was still lively and a good atmosphere without being chaotic, which was exactly what we wanted. (All the people there were middle aged, like us.) Because of the time, they were no longer serving drinks, and we only caught about half an hour of the dueling pianos, which was a shame -- it was so much fun and I wish we had gotten there earlier. The songs they played were older songs, songs I actually recognized, such as Lean on Me by Bill Withers, Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, Santeria by Sublime, and Wonderwall by Oasis. Dueling pianos at Bayou Keys was so fun, and if I am ever in Nashville again, I will be sure to go! [Yelp collections: Nashville, TN 2026]

We ordered drinks and a flatbread pizza. Everything was great. As for the musicians, they rotate every hour (if I remember correctly) with a total of 4 musicians. They are very talented and extremely interactive with the crowd. They do receive tips, and sometimes will have tipping wars on the songs they play. Shoutout to the Filipino musician (Pinoy Pride! ) in my picture. She was awesome, and took a couple of our requests. Even got us on stage... Honestly, they were all awesome though. But yeah, if you're thinking about it or reading this review... GO! MAKE A RESERVATION! You won't regret it!
