Bourbon Street Creole Kitchen & Bar - Puyallup (WA)

5 /5 Savya Thay: I love this place. The food here is amazing and the drinks are really crafty, you’ll definitely find something that suits your liking, just tell him your base alcohol and they’ll concoct something for you. The Shrimp and grits is one of the best I’ve had. The Rockefeller oysters were good, however it doesn’t come on the shell (if someone is picky about that), but I really enjoyed it with the garlic bread. They play live music as well, which was a nice touch to our casual dinner in the lounge. All the servers and bartenders were really attentive and our water glass was always full.

5 /5 Malayna Abad: Had lunch with a friend and decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. Inside, the restaurant has a welcoming and cozy ambiance that immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The food was outstanding—I had the shrimp and grits, which were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My friend ordered the blackened chicken, and every bite was packed with great taste. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent as well attentive, friendly, and efficient. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!

5 /5 Jana Gann: Great food! Loved the shrimp and grits. The seafood cakes were yummy and my son said the pork belly po boy was fantastic. They even had live music.

5 /5 Chris Williams: I went here on a date with the lady on a Friday night. Got there an hour before closing and were treated as if we just came in at opening time. Friendly and courteous and attentive staff all around. Hush puppies were so tasty and didnt even need any peppers or aioli. My shrimp and grits were PERFECT the grits consistency was PERFECT. My ladys jambalaya was seasoned with love and impeccable effort. Price was NOT BAD for 2 entrees 2 drinks and one appetizer. It started a great date night for us and cant wait to come eat again.

1 /5 Nicole Delacruz: This was one of my worst dining experiences. I love cajun/creole and have eaten alot of it. Was so excited to come here. Summary: food tasted off or wasnt made traditional. Small portions of appetizers. Extremely rude server. Gumbo had an odd sour flavor. Etouffee had very little crawfish, also bitter taste and made with tomato sauce not roux. Unbalanced. I didnt want to eat either dishes which is rare. We waited at the host area for about 15+ minutes without being acknowledged. Party after us asked if anyone spoke to us even. Tons of seating empty. Warm inside no AC just poorly fans. Outside which had a breeze but no shading could have been an option but the tables were left with all the previous clients plates etc not cleared off. Ordered Seafood cakes which is apparently shrimp and fish. You couldnt taste any seafood. Mushy. Plain. Why oh why would you add sweet chili sauce to the cajun aoli sauce? Weird flavoring. Three very small cakes for $17 BBQ shrimp. 5 of them. Was told they were big. But these were pretty medium/average sized. And at $19 way over priced. In fact.. was charged $19 but the menu said $17. Sauce had a great flavor. Shrimp were overcooked. Asked to have the three remaining shrimp re-cooked and they did do that and those were good. Re-did the whole meal and I got 5 shrimp and new bread. Server rarely came to ask how our meal was. I had to flag him down. Not friendly. Table was so so tiny that the plates did not fit on the table and when I was putting my food to go i had to put it on the floor. Why bother with tiny tables when you have giant presentation bowls for food. Doesnt make sense and made for very uncomfortable dining. Gumbo- which i didnt realize was also an entree larger option. The roux was lighter not dark like traditional. Sour strange taste to it. Friend chicken was just okay tasting. Didnt want to eat anymore. $28 Etouffe- why are there mussels with this? I asked for extra crawfish instead. Not sure if that even happened. Needed some shrimp in there. Small portion of crawfish. Bitter and very tomato based. Which is usually not traditional style. I could make this at home with a can of tomato paste. No roux. When I asked about some details on the bill (why menu prices were different from bill along with thinking husband ordered the gumbo appetizer but apparently was the fried chicken one. Which is an odd mix) server got angry/mocking. I explained we waited an hour for food, and a while to be seated, and a while for the bill. With food that was subpar. He then told me to just leave. After poor food ,long wait and bad service I will never recommend this place. What a disappointment.
