Taste Of The Bayou - Portland

Great food and service.. except the brown gravy was kinda funky Saturday evening!!

The food was kinda pricey, but it was very good. Coffee was great The service was excellent as well.

The food I had was the best I've experienced in quite some time, and I can confidently say this is the best restaurant I've discovered.

We ordered a variety of dishes: I had the French Dip Salad, one daughter opted for the half-sized nachos—which turned out to be quite large—and my other daughter chose the Beef Stroganoff. We also got some cheesy bread to share. They had daily specials, and that day, it was the Stroganoff. All the food, including the specials, is freshly made, and you can customize your order. We were extremely pleased with the food—it was truly amazing! Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, allowing us to relax and chat without feeling rushed or uncomfortable. We will definitely return the next time we’re in Portland! Thank you!

Next, we ordered the Jubitz Jumbo Burger, a 1-pound beauty cooked to absolute perfection (I prefer mine medium-rare). It was incredibly juicy, the seasoning was spot on, and the toppings were fresh. The Sriracha mayo added a nice kick, while the smoked gouda and caramelized red onions balanced everything beautifully. The bottom bun did get a bit soggy, and the burger was rather messy (partly due to its size), but aside from that, it was delicious! The fries that came with it were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside, with fantastic flavor. We couldn’t resist dessert, so I ordered the molten chocolate lava cake and my husband opted for the cheesecake drizzled with marionberry sauce. The lava cake was divine! Light and airy with an intense chocolate flavor, and the whipped cream was hands down the best I’ve ever had — not greasy and full of flavor. The molten chocolate was simply delectable. The cheesecake was rich and creamy. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, and the decor was beautiful without being overwhelming. While it was a bit pricey, it was worth every penny. I highly recommend this place!
