Broussard's Bayou Grill - Pensacola

Although we booked this through open table, the restaurant told us they do not take any bookings which was confusing. Some of the dishes were enjoyable- the queso, rice red beans- while others were nt. For me the gumbo was inedible. Very glutinous with an overpowering bitter flavor.

Gumbo had little seafood and little seafood flavor--requested onion garnish not provided at initial delivery.

How can I leave a review on Open Table if YOU ARE NO LONGER PARTICIPATING IN OPEN TABLE? I made the reservation on OPEN TABLE, but when I show up your waitresses shrug their shoulders and say you haven’t been on OPEN TABLE for a long time. What gives?

Great Place to enjoy a Friday evening with the wife. Relaxed atmosphere by the Gulf . The band was a super addition. Could spend the whole evening eating and dancing to the Blue 's. Prices are reasonable and customer service was A plus. Only drawback is that when I stated I had reservations , I was told at the front desk that reservations were not accepted. I ended up waiting about 30 minutes, although, they do have a bar outside where you can sit waiting for a table. May want to check prior to going as this venue. It will fill up fast on a Friday evening and I imagine on the weekend as well. I had the alligator meal which comes with fries and slaw. My wife had the blackened chicken Po Boy. Both were cooked to perfection. The Fried Cheesecake is a must try!!! Will be coming back when the wife and kiddos come back in July.

They don 't really take reservations, as they will tell you when you arrive. I got my points automatically without issue, but who knows how much longer that will last. That said, if you get there before the rush of families with children, it won 't matter. The patio seems to be the prime family spot, which is fine if you don 't mind looking after everyone else 's kids. This is a Groups-of-families-take-their-tired-kids-out-and-let-them-run-amok-in-the-restaurant-while-they-drink-pink-wine-and-fruit-tinis sort of place. The food was fine, the service was fine, the prices were fine.
