    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    Unique New Orleans style restaurant serving up tasty Cajun cuisine. The food was delicious and the presentation was nice. The decor inside is beautiful. The service was great. We started with some deviled eggs and it looked adorable. The little swirls was topped with some caviar which was a nice touch. Light and fluffy texture. My jumbo crab cake benedict came out quickly but on the way to the table, one poached egg fell off the stack and the server said he needed to bring it back and redo it. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the staff only wanted to serve their dishes at its best. Great training on Vodoo Bayou! Second plate came out beautifully and tasted delightful. It was tangy, a little spicy and full of flavor. Lots of big chunks of crab meat too. The cheddar grits was creamy and rich. Big portion for a side. Wish I lived closer so I could come more often!

    We had a fantastic brunch on the patio at Voodoo Bayou! We started with the cornbread which was absolutely delicious. My friends loved their Fried Green Tomatoes and their salads. My avocado toast was delicious. Our server was sweet and attentive. I highly recommend Voodoo Bayou if you're in the area.

    The restaurant was clean and had a really nice unique interior. Our server Ethan was amazing, personable, and efficient. The food was delicious. The deviled were great (very rich in taste), jambalaya was balanced very nicely with spice abs seasonings. The shrimp and grits were awesome. The drinks were delicious. Overall an amazing experience.

    They say time heals all wounds. Well, this wounded man that looked nothing like New Orleans cooking has found its soul. Every once in a while, I like to visit a place just to see particular in these large places that turn over the kitchen in the front pretty regularly if They're walking the walk. Today I was not disappointed. The gumbo Yaya and the red beans and rice were on point red beans and rice were a little tepid but tasty. My Vieux Carré (Voo Carray- New Orleans Indians do not do French the way the French do)) cocktail was excellent. The bar is very deep in bourbons. Ambience is excellent and service was excellent. Parking is very easy. Definitely now I will be back.

    Great brunch spot
    Brittany S.

    We come here on Wednesdays for the wood fired oysters that go on special and the live music by Mike Sanchez. My little boy loves to get gumbo here. Server Cass is our favorite and always does a fabulous job. She knows us all by name and is just really attentive and sweet. We look forward to seeing her and listening to music by Mike on our Wednesday mommy son date every week.

    Broccolini
    Devora W.

    The ambiance is always amazing and the live music on Mardi Gras night was great. Our server was attentive and made sure he made frequent visits. The highlight was the oysters. I wasn't a huge fan of the Redfish or broccolini, I wish it could've been seasoned a bit more.

The vibe is super cool, cozy seating, great ambience, dim lighting that feels like a hidden gem. I sat on the comfy couch and ordered sushi from OKA, which was honestly better than ever. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The cocktails were delicious too; strong, creative, and exactly what I wanted for a chill night out. I was having a great time, enjoying my meal and drinks, when disaster struck right at the end. I had literally just finished eating when a huge roach crawled right by my feet on the couch area. It was massive and absolutely disgusting. I jumped out of my seat so fast, thankfully I was done with my food, or I probably would've lost it completely. I didn't scream (which is a miracle because I definitely would have at home), but it was such a gross turn-off. I get that this is Lake Worth and Florida has its bugs, but come on, a roach that big in a dining establishment? That's not okay. You really need to step up the pest control. Also, the bathrooms could use some serious help. They're outdated and feel neglected, definitely in need of an update or renovation to match the rest of the cool vibe. Overall, the sushi shines, the drinks are spot-on, and the atmosphere is fun... but that roach ruined the ending for me, and the bathrooms don't help. Fix those things, and this place could be amazing. Hoping it was just a one-off bad night!

There's a vibe here that's hard to put into words -- it feels elevated but not pretentious. They had a DJ going and it perfectly complemented the energy without being overwhelming. It just all came together in the best way. Strongly recommend. Whether you're a whiskey veteran or just starting to explore it like me, this is a must-visit in Fort Lauderdale. Do yourself a favor and go.
