To start, parking was not easy on a Saturday night. We made a reservation and when we walked to the hostess stand to check in, I was told "okay, my coworker is going to seat that party, that party, that party, that party and that party and then you". My family and I then waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The ambiance is pretty cool and I like how the tables are spaced apart enough where you don't feel like you're part of someone else's group. The food was actually disappointing though. Deviled eggs were surprisingly flavorless and lacking in any identifiable seasoning. The menu stated they were garnished with caviar, however, it was maybe 2-3 actual pieces per egg. Disappointment would be a recurring sentiment throughout our meal. I had the shrimp and crawsfish etouffee and was ultimately disappointed. The flavor was strange and again, not identifiable seasoning-wise. Our kids enjoyed their food, so that was a positive note. The baby had pasta and green beans with pink lemonade and seemed to have really enjoyed his evening, taking in the atmosphere while enjoying his dinner. However, they do not have burgers on the kids menu and when we asked about it, our waitress initially said it shouldn't be a problem since they have sliders on their happy hour menu and they would probably be able to just do that. She disappeared to ask her manager and came back 45 seconds later with a resounding no, and that we could only get it and he charged for the burger off the entree menu. Ultimately, the only thing that really was positive was the atmosphere, but even that isn't enough to drive up to gardens for.

I had a great time at Voodoo Bayou for happy hour. The bar area is a nice size with both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a fun and comfortable atmosphere. The drinks were very well made, and I especially enjoyed the Snake Oil Salesman cocktail, it tasted like a delicious spicy margarita. The happy hour food specials were excellent. The baked garlic butter oysters and Rockefeller oysters were both very good and such a great deal. The deviled eggs and Gumbo Ya Ya were also full of flavor and definitely worth trying. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, a fantastic happy hour spot with great drinks, tasty food, and a lively vibe. I'll definitely be back!

This is a neat little restaurant in a strip mall complex in West Palm Beach. There are tons of free parking spaces available in the mall's parking lot. This place is huge, with a large two-level dining area, a small stage, and a bar on the first level and another on the second. They also have televisions to watch. You will also find a decent-sized patio area connected to the bar on the first level. This place is dimly lit. The staff there was very friendly and we were seated right away. The place accepts reservations, but we did not have any. The restaurants serve all of your Creole/Southern favorites. We started with an order of deviled eggs. They were very. My kids got some chicken tenders and mac & cheese, and said they were both delicious. I leaped and got some fried oysters. They were fresh and some of the best oysters that I have ever had. And I lived in New Orleans for about 10 years. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. He kept our cups full and gave us spot-on recommendations. He was awesome. This is a nice little spot with great service, delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere. My family thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, and I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back when I make it back to West Palm.

Bar and interior.

Well now! Where do I start. We met some friends for lunch. 6 total. Service was fine, not great not subpar. We were warned that a salad with fried chicken strips would take a bit, but holy smokes we were half way through our lunches before the fried chicken showed up. As for me, I had the shrimp and Grits. Very cheesy and very flavorful. My wife enjoyed her salad. Sorry no pictures of the food. I was hungry. It was a great day but the only table for 6 was in the sun, so we ate inside. It was a darkened type of interior. Lots of dark wood. Just needed some more subtle lighting. Overall, it was fine but nothing to right home about. Now for the part that I didn't like. When paying the bill, the tipping options I believe started at 20%, 22% and 24%. Honestly, as soon as I saw the starting choice of 20%, I was a little miffed. I chose the custom tab and gave my own tip. If someone wasn't paying attention and only chose from the options. Seems a little sketchy. That's my in input. Take it or leave it

Three stars is something good and something needs improvement. The chicken wings were good. They did a good job with the way it's cooked. Crispy skin but not drying in the inside. Devil eggs were ok. Buttermilk biscuits- rock hard not flaky at all. Not much taste . Maybe pillsbury might be better The pear salad (lunch portion) - is deceiving . Literally a side dish. I would assume lunch portion is a good lunch portion , nope. I would not order for HH HH was good on drinks and wings. Service wasn't not bad.

Deviled Eggs
Giselle S.

Great ambiance and food are offered at the bar. Outstanding service. Happy Hour Happiness was had by all. There are so many drink options. We ended our happy hour with yummy beignets. They were even yummy leftovers the next day.

Deviled Eggs*

We had such a great experience at Voodoo Bayou! Riley, our waiter, was amazing, super friendly, gave awesome recommendations, and checked on us often without ever being overbearing. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience. Another waitress, Kayla, even stopped by to say hello and make sure we were doing well, which made it feel so warm and welcoming, like you're hanging out in someone's living room in the best way. For food, we started with the biscuits, which were SO good, and the wood fired chili butter oysters that Riley recommended. The oysters were honestly one of the most delicious things I've had in a long time. For our mains, I had the jambalaya and my boyfriend got the Cajun carbonara, and both were incredible. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and even better service!

Etouffee and cheese grits

I was in town for a work trip and decided to try this place out for lunch. The service was awesome! My server talked me through the menu, and suggested the etouffee but substituting cheese grit for the rice. It was amazing. The ettouffee was so flavorful with a little heat and had 4 or 5 good-sized shrimp in it along with crawfish. The cheese grits came out in a separate dish and had been broiled to get the top charred and crispy. So so good! The restaurant itself had a very unique vibe. Music was fun and at a good level. Decor was fun. Consistent theme. End of the meal, my waiter came back with two little marshmallow looking things on a tray. They he poured hot water on them and they expanded... they were hot towels for my mouth and hands. I've never seen anything like that and it was a fun, memorable way to end the meal. I would love to go back there if I'm in town again.

Snapper with cornbread stuffing and the greens beans are to die for

The food, service & ambiance are exceptional! The servers are very attentive and the manager is very social and super friendly! Highly recommend a visit.

I've been to Voodoo Bayou many times for both dinner and happy hour. For context, I'm from Texas, right next door to Louisiana, so I know a little something about Cajun food. With that said, Voodoo Bayou is... just okay on the food front. Not bad, but not quite hitting the mark if you're judging by Louisiana standards. That said, I actually like the restaurant more than I like the food. The bartenders have always been cool, and I've never had issues with table service--waitstaff are generally helpful and attentive. The setup is nice too: two sides to the bar inside, part of it extending outside, plus outdoor tables, which makes it a good spot to hang out. Food-wise, the happy hour wings are genuinely delicious and probably my favorite thing on the menu. I've also had the oyster po' boy and the jambalaya, and both were just okay if you're used to stronger Cajun flavors. Overall, it's a cool spot for drinks (might need a few to feel something), atmosphere, and happy hour. I wouldn't go in expecting authentic Louisiana-level Cajun food, but it's still a pleasant place to spend time, especially if you're nearby.

Beignets
Dave S.

Returned to PB a couple years later and had to eat at Voodoo! The beignets are what makes this place a must try! And the food before dessert is solid. Smoked wings were cooked perfectly!! Hint of Smoke and juicy!!! Deviled eggs w Caviar and Black Truffle are not what they are cracked up to be. Just a basic deviled egg taste. Couldnt taste and truffle or caviar. Good but Not worth the price point. Grilled Cheese Oysters were delicious!!! Came out piping hot and when eaten, the are between raw and cooked. So tender and sweet w a parm cheese crust!!! Definitely would buy again! Gumbo- was waaaaay over peppered. The flavor was good w perfectly cooked shrimp but the black pepper was overwhelming the dish. Past experiences, the Gumbo has been one of the best, but not tonight. Now the main reason to visit Voodoo. The beignets- 5 per serving, comes out piping hot covered in powder sugar!!! So light and puffy and each bite melts in your mouth. If I didnt know, I would think there was some type of creme inside! These are NOT like the donut style most places serve. These are pillows of goodness that melts in your mouth. Tip: You must eat them hot!!! If you want very good Cajun food, try Voodoo Bayou!

Service was awesome. Food was delicious. Beautiful presentation. Fun vibes. Big bar. Outdoor seating. Can get busy at night.

Highly recommend doing their brunch on the weekends! Bottomless mimosas with live music and amazing service from Melissa and Esteban.

Shae Tony Isabella…read more Super kind, food choices were delicious. I am happy I came to try this place out. Decor is so fun! Service was professional, and efficient

The food I had here included the crab hush puppies, oysters Rockefeller, and the Cajun carbonara…read more I loved the crab hush puppies! The oysters Rockefeller was also very good and a classic. The Cajun carbonara was good but a little confusing. I had to go back and read the description to see that it does include a poached egg. I wish my egg was runnier, but it was hard. It was good, but I think a runny egg would've made it great. We were going to be late to our Saturday night reservation, and the restaurant let us push it back which was really nice and accommodating! We were here celebrating a bachelorette with a large group. We were sat next to the band, which I believe came on around 9 or 9:30pm. We really enjoyed this, and the live music was amazing! This just may be something to consider if you're looking for a quieter spot in the restaurant (which they did have). We ordered a variety of different drinks. I had an espresso martini, and it was very good! I hate saying this, but I do wish our waitress was more friendly. We were here for a big celebration, and I feel like the service we received was very bland. I feel like we had to go out of our way to ask for refills on drinks and water. It could've been an off day for her.
