Specializing in Cajun and Creole cuisine, Blue Bayou Inn is a small town restaurant that packs big flavor. The food is so authentic that one bite is sure to transport you straight to the Big Easy. But a bona fide fare isn’t all Blue Bayou Inn has to offer. The restaurant also serves up amazing waterfront views thanks to its location on the shores of Lake Manitowish. Take a look:
