I was just there yesterday. Our server was fabulous and very polite. I am not a big lover of seafood (everyone else with me is, though) so I got a burger and fries. It was awesome! Burger was juicy and flavorful. I don’t usually eat all my fries, but they were so good, I cleaned my plate! Definitely recommend.
Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and some of the best seafood I've ever had. I highly recommend it.
Great food and service my husband loves the oyster po boy we go to destin on vacation every year and while we are there we love eating the seafood Bayou Bay Seafood House is our favorite spot in Tennessee to eat seafood we don't get to go there a lot because we live like a hour and a half away but when we get the chance it's worth the drive Thank you Bayou Bay Seafood House
Today I had the pleasure of having lunch at this unique restaurant. I had the She Crab Soup and a salad which was wonderful. Reminded me of my trip to New Orleans which I dearly love. Was so cool to see New Orleans posters, beads and other items that are decorating the walls. The service was great and I highly recommend this laid back restaurant. I will be coming back.

Being born and raised from New Orleans and living in Knoxville for 13 years Bayou Bay was the nearest place to eat the best " home food " and the French Bread being delivered daily was awesome and the King Cakes also shipped made missing home not so bad � and the staff is very well informed about the food and can pronounce it properly lol Thanks for being there serving East Tenn.
Awesome place...run by an actual Cajun (someone who knows seafood!). Best oysters in these parts! Drive 35/40 minutes to get there and it is worth it!
It's the best little seafood place in knoxville love the food and the workers are so very nice and polite I highly recommend it
We have been going here for years! It is the best food ever!! Even on my new lifestyle diet, I found plenty I could eat. You may have to enlarge to accommodate all the people on the weekends. Would love if you had an additional one in West Knoxville. Just keep up the great food, service and quality, you are the BEST!!!
Amazing food, and exceptional service. Special thanks to my server josh, he was sooo attentive. The food was cooked fresh and the taste was impeccable. 10/10
Working in Knoxville for the past month and wanted some good fried catfish and seafood like at home.. I picked the right place! Fried catfish and fried shrimp reminded me of Deanie's in Metarie(Bucktown)-delicious! Slaw was good and the tartar sauce with garlic in it was perfect! I'll be back :)
This is without a doubt some of the best Cajun food I've ever had outside of LA. Will certainly be back and I live 2 hours away, so you KNOW it must be good.
Awesome spot alot New Orleans with a touch Florida right here in our Vols nation
Check them out, definitely recommend

The food is great me my fiance and my daughter came in for dinner. It's hard to find good gluten free food. But we found it. While eating Santa paid my daughter a special visit. Made her whole week. Thank you Santa and bayou Bay for the great service and great food. Lyn

The best hush puppies and peanut butter pie ever!!! Popcorn shrimp and chargrilled chicken are great too! Gumbo too !!! We like it all !!!!!
Great food, and awesome atmosphere! We will stop by next time we’re in TN, food was just like back home in Louisiana. Thanks Andy for the hospitality 😋
First visit here with the family. It was a great experience, good Cajun food reminds me of Louisiana. The atmosphere was good, our server Madison was very helpful with menu selections. Good selection, you can have many items either grilled or fried. We will return.
Just had a great lunch at this out-of-the-way place in South Knoxville. Got there just after the lunch rush so there wasn't a lot of waiting. I ordered the blackened fish with french fries yams and green beans and my food wasfantastic. Fresh and made to order everything was hot and just the right flavors for a Cajun seafood place.
Our service from Katie was wonderful very helpful andkind. A laid-back atmosphere made my experience very comfortable and my friend and I had a wonderful time. Such a nice pleasant surprise. I'll definitely go back.
I searched for a few places that had seafood before I found this place. The place wasn’t as big as I thought it would be but that didn’t take away from the good food. I tried the blackened alligator (my first time) which I have to admit was very good. I ordered the fried grouper which was very tasty but I wish I had it blackened. The service was fast and friendly. The only thing I wish I’d knew before coming was they didn’t sell alcohol. You can byob which isn’t a deal killer. The weird thing is, they have beer signs all over the restaurant lol. I enjoyed my time and food. I think you will too.
Really not that far from downtown Knoxville. A few minutes from I40 and I75. Worth the quick trip. Crawfish Etouffee and catfish was spot on. The Gumbo was really good too. I’m from Louisiana and this is the best you will find in east TN. I’ll be back to try more soon. Oh yeah and some gluten free options also.
Never been in before but passed by many times as a lover of nawlins and it's food I'm glad I did. Only had a shrimp po boy but it was damn good. Plenty of shrimp cooked just right with an excellent remoulade. Service was also spot on. Greeted nicely when I came in and quickly seated and we'll taken care of for the rest of my lunch. I'll be back got to try that blackened alligator.
Great food and good atmosphere. Beer is a little expensive @ $3.50 ea. * 12/15/16 Update: my wife and I were in the area and stopped by for a quick bite. We discovered they no longer serve alcohol? However, they allow the customer to brown-bag BYOB.
One of the few places you can get Authentic Cajun cuisine in the area. Love their crawfish - reminds me of life on the gulf coast. Bayou Bay is a must during the Mardi Gras season!!
The crab legs were steamed perfectly! Customer service was excellent! We were traveling and was grateful to find this spot.
