Bud Jones Bayou in Tyler

Their Jalapeno Cheeseburgers are excellent! The fries were good too! Everything I have eaten there has been amazing!

This place is Louisiana Cookin at its finest. They r wonderful cooks and great conversationalist. They always make u feel welcome and their food is always great. The only place in Tyler TX that taste just like Southern Louisiana food.

Food was very fresh and tasty , I had the fried catfish and shrimp . The server was friendly and helpful to me and my husband considering it was our first time here and she made really good coleslaw

Very small cramped atmosphere. They were out of several things but the fried pickle spears were really good. The gumbo was also good. The side salad was very plain but the homemade ranch was excellent. It is a decent lunch stop and hopefully they will expand soon and get some more staff to help. Our waitress was super friendly just overwhelmed. We would stop again.

Yummm... good servoce !

THIS PLACE IS AMAZZZING FOR THE PRICE. Good speedy service. Attentive and down for conversation. They don't skip out on using seasonings, they are VERY VERY friendly and have specials all the time. I went here with my boyfriend for the first time today and he left STUFFED. That never happens. It's so good, the shrimp is like drugs I will be back!

Great food. Huge portions. Super friendly staff. Fun place I would definitely recommend.

Best catfish in town. Great service, friendly place.

Food cooked fresh and piping hot like I like it. Tastes good too!

Despite the restaurant being small in size, it is the best place to get authentic Cajun food! For those who grew up in the Louisiana area, it's a good reminder of home. And it is definitely a great place to have lunch.

A short walk from the court house, friendly staff, great service, great food! Comparable prices for seafood $9-15. Only 6 tabes, so I hope it doesn't get to popular. 😉 I had the half crawfish po'boy, which was overflowing with crawfish, a side of dirty rice and a water for just under $10 and was full.

The shrimp are huge and the batter is tasty. the shrimp po boy will surpass your expectations so you better bring an appetite.

Great seafood in a little place just off the square!!!!

Good food and relaxed atmosphere. Atmosphere is family and neighborly where you are treated as friends. Food is always fresh with the biggest fried oysters I've ever had cooked to order.

Awesome hole-in-the-wall joint. Great burgers and gumbo at a decent price.

Good food and good size food

Seriously everythin is amazing here

This is the hole-in-the-wall place you always hope to find, and hope others don't. Simply unbelievable food, great service and only a few tables so get their early.

Cajun food here - super tasty. I've had nothing but enjoyable experiences here and plan to keep visiting.

Amazing food and even better service. Make sure you try the gumbo! Dont miss this gem.

First time eating at the Bud Jones this evening order the #1 basket small strips of catfish great taste 4 Peace's of butterfly shrimp great taste 2 hush puppies plain taste small bowl of red kidney beans good tatse but not red beans but that just my preference and glass of tea for little over $15 my opinion little pricey.And there AC was not working right it was 84 degrees while eating dinner when asked about how hot it was I was told it has been a issue for sometime and that the owner just wasn't going to fix it.I would like to be reasonably comfortable while eating so this alone is a decision that I won't return till I hear they have working AC .

Best food hands down....

I work at bud Jones.lol..it is great food and friendly staff.we have a blast!

Pretty good place to eat! Some of the best tasting shrimp in the Tyler area.

What an awesome place, the food is GREAT & the service is without compare!!! I will fight for a table any day!!

Not a place I would have stopped if I hadn't had a friend insisting we go there for lunch. It doesn't look like much from the outside, hell it doesn't look like much from the inside, but hot dog the food is good! Our waitress was very nice and speedy to boot! We got in and out in under 30 minutes. Would definitely go back to try more of the good!

We both had the gumbo and fried catfish today for lunch. WOW, it was so good. The gumbo is meaty and flavorful, and everything in it is just right. The catfish was melt in your mouth, like I haven't had since we stopped in Jackson, MS a few years back and found an out of the way local place to hide out from a big windstorm blowing through the state. The place isn't fancy, but it is comfortable, great tea, good coffee, pleasant staff, nice and clean, good parking. I'd rather have all that Bud Jones Bayou does right than a fancy dining room any day! We'll be back for oyster po boys on Wednesday.

Love the food and wait staff

I just happen to come across this place while exploring Tyler. I got the fried oysters and shrimp lunch. Nearly 20 bucks. A bit too pricey for me to go regularly, but the food was DELICIOUS! Very very small dining area.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. The best fried shrimp I've had in Tyler.

Really great - made to order seafood with plentiful portions. No lunch pricing available; therefore, expect items on the upper end of moderate. Despite this, the hushpuppies were awesome, catfish battered and fried perfectly, jumbo shrimp phenomenal. Great food all around. Would definitely visit again for another filling meal!

Best effing gumbo I've ever had!!!!

Huge Fried Oysters as big as my fist! I got the #2 Shrimp and Oysters with onion rings. I was very surprised when I opened my to-go order, as it was my first time in, and saw the size and freshness of the basket. The onion rings were delicious and could have been a meal in themselves. Will go back!

Love the seafood. I order lunch at very often and have never been disappointed.

I'm from New Orleans and this where I go for my Poboy fix. I highly recommend it. They also do amazing breakfast. See ya there!

Best cajun style food in tyler. Location and building are horrible

Great boudain and po boys!

Best fried shrimp in Tyler. Cole slaw too!

Was afraid to go eat here being the side of town it is on.. BUT OH MY GOD... AMAZING!!!!!! great food and service

Friendly people and great foooooood... Love it ....

Could be cleaner, but food is insanely great

Best Gumbo I've ever had. Though 90 min. From our home we made a second trip in a week Just to have the Gumbo. Leslie, who waited on us was friendly and a joy to get to know.

Great seafood! Wonderful huge boiled shrimp! Great service and friendly waiter! Go here you won't regret it!

My first time there the food is good the service is great I look forward to going back. I was glad to find a new place where I could go and get some good food, it's almost like a secret place is hidden but it's good. Hope to be back on next week, I was surprised at the gumbo was so good great job.

Excellent food and service!

Had the bacon cheeseburger, excellent as always! Fresh made to order!
