Not a downtown tavern. Black Bayou is a Garth Road room that cooks the Gulf the way Houston’s Viet-Cajun houses do: garlic butter crawfish, po-boys, egg rolls, daiquiris, honey-drizzled beignets. In season the crawfish is the reason people argue about Baytown restaurants in group chats.
Bar, outdoor seating, sports on. It fills the gap between O’Neals (water) and the chain grills. Go hungry. Order the boiled eggs with the crawfish.

Garlic crawfish when in season. Shrimp po-boy otherwise. Beignets.
Local tip. This is Garth Road Viet-Cajun, not a downtown bar. Crawfish season is the argument.
