So Blue Bayou

[DetroitDisney]

Was beyond ridiculously amazing. I think New Orleans square might have converted me from WDW to DL.

For bonus points, Louisiana lemonade is ridiculous.

Glad you liked it! I love BB. I'm always a little sad when people find it disappointing. I do understand that that can happen with big expectations and a place not living up to them, but I personally find BB charming and a must-do with my family. I miss the kids' pirate hat menus, though!

So true. I enjoy MK, but Liberty Square is just not the same thing. It always feels like the "heart" of the park is missing there to me. That heart is NOS.

Ok, I was already excited about it, but now I'm dying!! We are eating there 10/12 for my DD's bday. I've been emailing with one of the pastry chefs for a pirate cake to be delivered during. I am so dang excited!!

Booked for Sunday lunch, so looking forward to it! Got an idea of what it is like from Pirates, which in a way did spoil it a tiny bit.

Also off topic, but DL pirates is so much better then the version in Florida. I've literally done it 5 times already this week.

Will be there in March '15, can't wait! The last time we ate at the BB was in 1987 Just to be sure since we've never done ADR before, it's 90 days out for the soonest I can reserve right? Thanks.

Oh yum! Just yesterday Blue Bayou popped into my head and I told DD11 we'd have to try for that ressie for Dec 23. It's still 60 days out for DL, right?

As DizMe mentioned, Blue Bayou really is charming! I wasn't expecting all that much and really just wanted to eat there for the atmosphere, but the food was surprisingly good! I did think the portions were really big, so my husband and I split an entree, so the prices really aren't bad either. We were lucky to snag a table right on the water as well. Definitely a must-do for future trips!

I agree on the portion size! It's nice for us because it makes the meal quite affordable since we share.

Completely amazing! I like to try new things when we go, so we can eventually experience it all (or close to it) but I think after our last trip, BB is going to always be a must-do each trip!

My dad and I were finally able to go back after 15 years and I loved it. I thought the food and service was great.

The service was insane. As someone that gets very thirsty in the parks, a full beverage in a restaurant is key.

The BB staff literally kept filling up my glass from a pitcher every time it approached half full. I was literally laughing at the table as to how fast they were.

I will for sure make a stop at the bayou a part of every DL trip I make.

It's a must do for me also every trip. Just love the atmosphere. It's just too bad that it is so expensive now. I have a menu from our trip about 10 yrs ago, and the prices have more than doubled. I know prices go up, but when they re-positioned it some years ago to be a 'Signature restaurant' (to coin a DW label), the pricing went way up. We used to eat there more when it didn't cost much more - or about the same - as the other TS restaurants.
