Lots to choose from in menu items. Great gumbo and oysters. Good service and friendly staff.
Knotty pine is such a fun way to get food we normally can't find in our area. Between the alligator, crayfish and gumbo you really can't go wrong. The staff is always super nice, they take great care of their guest! And when you walk in you are transported to Louisiana. The art on the walls and all the decor is just great. Perfect date night spot if you're looking to try some different things and good for the family too!
This was very good! We had the oyster bienville and it was ok and pretty small for the price. Everything else was fantastic. Creole sauce had a bite with the scallops. Gumbo was great. Fried sea bass was exceptional. I loved the grits and collard greens. We shared the opera cake and it was fine. It was a moist piece of cake with an intersting texture of very sweet frosting.
Never disappoints!!! It was our 18th wedding anniversary, went here on our 1st date:) service , food, atmosphere all great. We love coming back time and time again. Highly recommend.
I enjoy seeking out non- chain restaurants with comfortable environments and great food. Knotty Pine on the Bayou did not disappoint me. It was my first experience with frog legs and they were good. Everyone's meals were good. I had the Bayou Sampler and it was very good. Knotty Pine on the Bayou is over an hour from my house, otherwise it would become a regular 'Go to' location for me. It did lose 1-Star because they were out of a couple of the beers we ordered.
After visiting NOLA, I craved Creole food, upon returning home. So we went to the Knotty Pine. It was very good, the ambiance and service were warm and comforting. I loved the gumbo the most! We've gone back a few more times!
The food was just ok. The best thing was the key lime and opera creme cake desserts. The service was good, very tentative with making sure we had everything and removed plates.
We had a great meal at Knotty Pine on the Bayou. The portions are huge, the service was good, and everything was served hot. The sidewinder fries with Cajun gumbo as an appetizer is literally enough to feed 4 to 6 people, it comes out on a platter. The restaurant does get very loud on the weekends if that is something that you do not care for. We will definitely return!
