If you looking for the epitome of a joint, The Bayou Kitchen personifies that rough and tumble dining exuberance to a tee. As a hangout (they open at 7 AM–8 AM on Sundays–and close at 2 PM daily) for breakfast, brunch or lunch, the menu stays the same.
It offers the full panoply of egg dishes and more complex plates of Cajun style fare like gumbo, sausages and beans with rice. I’ve always just kept to breakfast eggs, and on this past Sunday I didn’t see much gumbo being passed around.

They’re famous, however, for their pancakes. I’ve never tried Bayou’s flapjacks but have seen them coming out of the kitchen the size of dinner plates–but looking so light and fluffy.
