Backyard Bayou

This is Where to get your fix of flavor!!!

Decided to try this new cajun in San Jose and OMG it was so good! We got a family bucket takeout (5lb): 1 king crab legs, 2 crawfish, 1 mussels, and 1 clams + 4 corn, 4 potatoes, andouille sausage. The moment I laid out the spread we were hit with an amazing aroma that got us hungry and excited to eat! All the choices were fantastic and the CRAWFISH is the best I’ve had in San Jose. To me, this boil stands out from other places in town. It is fresh, flavor-forward instead of heavy on the butter and salt. So glad we picked up here as this is our new go-to cajun spot.

Pro-tip:
1. Order the boil Bayou mild if someone doesn’t like heat and get the Bayou Hot or Spicy on the side. We got Bayou Hot on the side and it was good enough to make you sweat.

2. Garlic noodles is a highlight item here. It’s made with fettuccine and is packed with lots of fresh garlic.

3. I noticed an awesome bar counter inside. Hoping to “check it out” when shelter in place is over. BUT this means I can forego the supermarket and pick up some brews to have with my takeout order next time.

Got the family combo togo. Good seasoning and fresh ingredients. Looking forward to be able to dine in when we can.

The same familiar formula like the boiling crab just a bit shorter lines. The option to get the shrimp headless is awesome.

Fantastic service
They immediately have my family and I water when we walked in
Quickly has rapport with them
Great seasoning
Will quickly compete with boiling crab
