Satisfy your craving for real southern-fry at this fun-loving Denver establishment. Sit back in the small space with a mug of microbrew. Snack on deep-fried appetizers like crawfish tails, chicken wings, crab fingers, alligator tails and pickles. Dig into a cup of gumbo packed with shrimp, sausage and okra, or try a bowl of clam chowder with a dash of Cajun spice. For your main meal, get a platter of shrimp étouffée, red beans and rice, jambalaya, gumbo or fried catfish. If you want something more familiar, try the giant rib eye or a blackened chicken breast. Finish with a generous serving of peach cobbler, bread pudding or pecan pie. Order the Thanksgiving special for the holidays: a full Cajun-style turkey, injected with spices then deep-fried in vats of oil. It’ll be the tenderest bird you’ve ever tasted. Also, keep your eyes peeled for the crawfish festival early in the year. If the harvest is good, you’ll reap the benefits at Bayou Bob’s.
