“1300 miles from home- The food, the soul, the family – Bringing a true taste of New Orleans to the Big Apple – I’ll always call The Bayou home!”

“If you want the best food in town, you know what to do! Go down to The Bayou Restaurant! Now that’s what I’m talking about!”
Grammy Winner Buckwheat Zydeco
“When you’re at The Bayou, not only is there a party goin on, and when I say ‘Party”, I mean a PARTY!, but also the best food around this town that I’ve ever had. So you come to The Bayou – eat, drink and listen –Laissez les bons temps rouler -and I ain’t lying!! This is THE Place!!”
C. J. Chenier
“The first time I played The Bayou was in the early 90s and It was so good to sit down to a great creole dinner in a cozy place, so far north. Pete has maintained the same high reguard for the quality of music and food that he had for the last 30 years. That is an accomplishment. Laissez les bons temps rouler!”
Bill Wharton – The Sauce Boss
“I have been in many places across this nation, I have met people of all nationalities on this planet, I’ve entertained people everywhere in this world with my musical talent. I’ve had fun doing what I do wherever I’ve been, but there’s one place that I have had the biggest and best fun with the most loving friends in this world. NY is a big city and has a lot to offer, but there’s a club in a town called Mount Vernon named The Bayou that gives me more love than this entire world! It’s a home away from home for me. I could write a book about the people of The Bayou. Life goes on for only a certain amount of time if you never hear anymore about Humpy, Louisiana Washboard Player – The Bayou will always recognize who I am and what I am able to do. I don’t have a Grammy or a crown, but I have people who love me!! Love ya Bayou & Staff forever & ever”
Clifford “Humpy” Alexander Jr. – of CJ Cheniers Red Hot Louisiana Band
