Restaurant Review: Cajun Bayou Seafood Market
I’d say this place is a must for anyone who likes Cajun food. It is really cool and will be a great summer hang out.

A new Cajun restaurant recently opened on 155 in Flint. Like Randy’s, it is a casual place with no air conditioning and it’s BYOB.
As far as ambiance, it is basically a huge wooden patio shaded by large trees. You walk to the counter to order, then your food is delivered once ready. I was having trouble decided what to get, so I asked the guy behind the counter what he’d consider the specialties to be. He said everything on the menu is great which is nice but didn’t really help narrow it down. I finally decided to go with a shrimp poboy, and my sis got the soft shell crab poboy. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Our jaws dropped when the sandwiches were delivered… These things were huge! They tasted good, but I could only eat about a third of mine before throwing in the towel.

I ended up going back with my husband several days later, since he hadn’t gotten to try it yet. This time we got the crab cakes, fried pickles, vanilla sweet potato fries and fried boudin. I am in love with fried pickles, and these were good. The crab cakes were good, but they were covered in a thick sauce which overpowered the flavor of the crab. Next time I’d definitely see about getting the sauce on the side. The vanilla sweet potato fries were also good, but I think the vanilla may have been a bit too strong for my taste. The fried boudin was good, and I think anyone who likes boudin would like it.

Ate there today...it was great...Jackson my lab loved the attention he got. Nice to have another place we can enjoy together. Only one gripe....the pecan cobbler....it tastes like pecan pie with a dough base. Just like pecan pie better.

Dropped by on a whim after passing by on 155 today. Best po-boy since I was in Orleans. Wife ordered catfish and was crazy for the thick, clean meat and fresh oil fried in. There is clean cat meat and dirty, this was the best. The thick potatoe chips( I forget what they called them), were terrible. The regular fries were slightly undercooked. Everone likes crisp fries in fresh oil, where is the communication breakdown with some cooks. Staff was excell. in all areas. Out of all deserts from last nights Sat. night crowd. Bussiness is booming. Booze coming next week w/ live music. Now we're cooking! Will be back for certain but get a handle on your 'tater cooker.

HORRIBLE!!!! This place is appearantly now called Crawdaddys. We drove 40 miles from Palestine to get here. This is the worst place I have eaten in years. We arrived about 6:00PM last Saturday. For a beverage I ordered unsweet tea since most sweet too is WAY too sweet for me. Silly me, I thought they would have artifical sweetener I could use. I was wrong. They had none. unblievable, but wait, it gets worse, much worse. After waiting for them to come up with some, I gave up and asked for sugar. Guess what, they didn't have that either. Unexcuseable for a "restraunt". Moving on to dinner, I ordered an appetizer, the mud puppies. I also ordered the $11 fried shrimp. My wife ordered the bear butt chicken. A few minutes later our server told us they were out of the chicken. She changer her order to the gumbo only to be told they were out of that too. Unexcuseable for early on a Saturday. After anbou half an hour, the meal finally came. So did the appetizer. I thought the purpose of an appetizer was to appear before the main meal. I expressed my unhappiness only to be greeted by a shrug and "I tried to get it out earlier" by our server. Now to my shrimp. The six "butterflied" shrimp I got would have been thrown out by Long John Silvers. They were small and definitely not worth $11. I have gotten fast food shrimp for half the price that were better. My wife said her chicken was OK, nothing to write home about. We will NOT be going back, a sentiment expressed by another customer in the line to pay ahread of me. There are some many things wrong with this place I really don't have the time to detail them. Perhaps the worst was the total lack of any sense of concern by the staff. I urge you to pass on this too. BTW, I am still waiting on a refill on my unsweet tea.
