Black Bayou - Baytown (TX)

3 /5 Netta: Edit: After some time has passed I decided to give this place another try but unfortunately the results have not improved. I ordered the Heavy Hitter again and lately the fried rice has been bland and needed soy sauce when it never used to. Previously the shrimp fried rice was packed with shrimp almost too much and I love shrimp. Now there is barely any and it even seems like they are giving out less rice overall. I have ordered this three different times now hoping it was just a one time change or a new cook but each time it is the same. The fried rice is bland and tastes more like plain white rice with a mediocre amount of shrimp. I am really disappointed to see such a big drop in quality. Previous Review: We’ve never dined in at the restaurant—but we will soon! We absolutely LOVE this place. From the wings to the boiled food, to the fried food… even the rice is delicious! We’ve ordered from here about 10 times in just a month. Don’t think twice—definitely give this spot a try!

3 /5 Marshelle Burch: This was my 1st time trying bc of the reviews. The service was great. The young ladies in the front were very nice. The food was a no for me, though. I love seafood!!!! But, theirs, I didnt. I wasnt a fan of the sauce. I got extra spicy, and it was still bland. The crawfish tasted weird. The mussels were good, and the crab leg meat was tasteless. The shrimp was the best, and Im not a huge shrimp fan. The price was great but I probably wont go back.

1 /5 georgiardell: This was probably my 5th time coming here and I pretty much always get the same thing but TODAY my Hot Box was not hot at all and my sausage was dry and shrimp over cooked. I’m not sure if I will visit again and I don’t know what the hell this is but it’s in my food SMH That’s it that’s all

3 /5 Apea Studio: 5 percent for service fee if you dine in. Customer service is low key. It seems the owners are saving on cost. The reusable plastic table covers. To go containers for all in or out orders. Food tasted prepacked as well as dairiquis. They have flat screen TVS to watch sports or talk show. Music playing the background. Most order to go.

5 /5 christi huffman: 1st time trying We placed an order through door dash and I have to say I will DEFINITELY be going back/ordering again. We got a fish shrimp basket, loaded gumbo, combo fried rice, fried okra, and egg rolls. Everything was amazing. The gumbo is so thick and savory with generous portions of shrimp, sausage etc. The fried fish is flaky and juicy. The tartar is fresh with a great dill balance to the flavor. The combo rice has so much flavor big tender shrimp, generous crawfish tails. I mean everything was delicious. Oh and add a couple boiled eggs with their house spice. We are definitely loyal customers now!
