Since opening our first Bayou on the Beach location on the curve of Thomas Drive in 1999, we have been thrilled to serve our loyal patrons with our authentic Cajun cuisine. Our recipes that our matriarch, Donna, brought to Panama City Beach from Lafayette, have created a menu for everyone to enjoy a taste of Louisiana.
We take such pride in our fresh seasoned and hand battered seafood you will never leave here hungry! We offer a daily lunch special Tuesday through Friday for your quicker work lunches and of course our full menu is available throughout the day.
Everything from our Tartar Sauce, Gumbo, Ettouffe, Red Beans & Rice, Boudin Balls, Olive Salad, Bread Pudding, and everything else in between is
Don't forget to stop in at the Bayou Basket right next door! Attached to the West side of the Cafe & Oyster Bar, our Bayou Basket is a quick-service seafood spot serving up our signature bold Gulf Coast flavors. We specialize in fried seafood baskets, steamed shrimp, crab legs, and our Bayou grab-and-go favorites like muffalettas, shrimp cocktails, and smoked tuna dip. Our fresh-fried potato chips and signature sauces — including Bayou’s famous Who Dat sauce — keep guests coming back for more. With a small, flavorful menu and fast, friendly service, Bayou Basket is perfect for a quick bite or beach picnic. Don’t forget to check out Bayou On The Beach’s seasonings, hot sauces, and merch while you’re here! You can order online, call, or come in and enjoy your dinner or enough to feed a crowd! You can grab our famous Spicy Crab Dip and Chips and house made cookies and desserts and even a Sno Ball to finish off your shopping!
Whether you are sitting at the oyster bar, enjoying a table with your friends and family, or picking up a pound of Cajun steamed shrimp to go, you are sure to "Pass a Good Time" here at the Bayou, the place where Mardi Gras happens everyday!
