Louisiana Kitchen and Bayou Bar

The poboys are the go to meals at this restaurant, reminds me of New Orleans. The beignets are a tasty desert for the entire family to enjoy. The muffaletta is a little smaller then a traditional muffaletta, but still packs an amazing taste. Lastly, the jambalaya is just spicy enough to give you that Louisiana food flavor that is desirable in the DC area.

My favorite Louisiana style restaurant and bar in Maryland or Washington DC. Whether it's celebrating Mardi Gras, enjoying football Sunday's, grabbing weekend breakfast or brunch OR you in the mood for some beignets, alligator bits, half and half po-boys, or etouffee LKBB definitely will not disappoint. The bayou bar makes the best to shelf hurricanes. Also, turn up with bottomless mimosas during brunch for an extra $14. Give them a try and let me know of your experience was just as awesome as mine.

very average louisiana food, great service and great selection, just not a place i’d revisit soon.

I liked it. My boyfriend is from Louisiana so he wanted to argue about what color the gravy should be, but I loved it. Great service and great food.

My first time at this restaurant. I had the gumbo with "the works". Chicken, shrimp, crawfish, sausage and baked fish It was kinda bland. It says something when the gumbo at The Cheesecake Factory has more flavor. The Hurricane I had with the meal was pretty weak. The biscuits were big and soft. The place had very little decor to indicate it was a restaurant that was New Orleans themed. Service was friendly.

Best Cajun food in a 500 mile radius. I've been to New Orleans several times and still haven't had a better roux or gumbo. Lived in Bethesda all my life among all these amazing restaurants. Still goto Louisiana Kitchen at least 2-3 times a week. Owner is extremely friendly as well and treats everyone like family.

This was my first experience in this area for dining. We ordered our food and in 5 minutes it was out. The food was fast but my husbands dish was dry and tasteless, he had the jambalaya, I had chicken that tasted like it was simply dumped in hot oil to heat up. My kids chicken fingers and fries were good. A few bites into my food there was an ant crawling around on my plate. Didn't finish it, they didn't charge. We left shortly after dissatisfied and disappointed. Service was mediocre.

PLUSES: My family & I were glad to find this New Orleans cuisine restaurant in Berhesda, close to home! 4 of us enjoyed lunch their this past Saturday. 24 year old daughter loved the shrimp po'boy, 22 year old vegetarian/vegan son enjoyed the vegetable stir fry, husband enjoyed the seafood platter & I loved the EVERYTHING Jambalaya very large portion with lots of shrimp, nice tender fresh chicken. The feel was like you just stepped in a little side restaurant in New Orleans, with checkered table cloth and tasty food. OTHER THOUGHTS: Gumbo came off just as a nice tasty soup that's way better than soups at most others restaurants. Our group didn't see this gumbo soup appetizer as being as good as thick okra gumbo my husband makes nor the true gumbo we've had elsewhere. I will definitely order it again though. *You'll enjoy it more if you don't think of it as true gumbo but just a great cajun flavored soup. The bread pudding was surprisingly bland... I'll look to try a different dessert next time. All-in-all a good dining experience and we'll be going back their again to enjoy their foods!

Very good! This is coming from someone from Louisiana. Just don't get their red beans. They also serve biscuits instead of cornbread. My favorite is the gumbo and crab balls. Get the appetizer gumbo, as it's half the price and more than enough for one person.

Carlos one of the owners is the man! I have been going to this restaurant since I was a boy in high school. The food is excellent and a lot of the servers from when I was a kid still work there. They are quick and the food is fantastic. Order the Cajun fries and a jambalaya! You won't regret it.
