Howe's Bayou - Ferndale

S across the board! I was originally looking for a happy hour but when I called, the customer service was so good I’m like let me go in here anyways. It was so worth it. Customer service the shrimp the whitefish dip (the waitress let me taste hers) i got the berry blossom drop which is like a lemon drop.. I’m coming back for the shrimp and whitefish dip alone. I have no complaints.

The oysters weren 't oystering. I went there to get an oyster po ' boy; but I stopped myself when I ate the fried oysters for an appetizer. I was so disappointed. First of all, oysters are already done. You could eat them raw. When deep frying, the oil has to be so hot, 'cause all you 're doing is cooking the batter. Now, when you overcook the batter, trying to achieve that seafood crunch, you 're overlooking the oyster. I think that 's what the chef(s) did here. I tasted more breading than oyster.

Discovered this gem while attending the Funky Ferndale Art Fair. The food was amazing and the prices were reasonable. We had the fried catfish, blackened chicken po-boy, sweet potatoes fries, keylime pie, and two beers for $50. Wow!!!! I'm going back soon and telling friends.

This place is great. I just moved out here to Michigan and everyone here was so kind. Their Voodoo sauce is amazing, I'd literally buy a bottle of it if they'd sell it. I've gone there two times already and both times the food was spectacular. Their whiskey selection is pretty good too. If you're a whiskey fan, definitely try out the Big Fish. Very different from other whiskeys I've tried. I was very surprised with the cornbread being so good too. Chris (the bartender) is an absolute pleasure to have. The rest of the staff were very welcoming too. Oh, and if you really like key lime pie, you'll love theirs. Make sure to get it with the whipped cream. Perfect balance! As Chris prophesied, they've got a new regular!

Howe’s Bayou was delicious! I had the Voodo shrimp with dirty rice and catfish. The voodoo shrimp was packed with a subtlety spice gravy that went great with the dirty rice! The catfish was cooked to perfection! Seating is a bit cramped but it’s worth it! It gives me a more intimate feel when dining. Fantastic local southern inspired restaurant! It’s a must try!
