Best Creole Restaurant Pasadena Near Me

4worldlovers: We are a group of friends from a distant land where pagers were cool and mixed tapes were fire.

In the summer of 2013, we were hanging out, having a few beers with our seafood. Unfortunately, the quality was lacking, the beers were warm, and our eyes aren't what they're used to so we couldn't see the scores.

Someone jokingly said, We should opened one ourselves! We'll have good food, ice cold beers and TVs big enough for us to enjoy the game. We had these drunken talks before, creating visions of what it could be but never did we tried.

We all grew up in Lincoln Heights and didn't have much but we scrapped together what we had and opened our first store in West Covina in early 2014. We worked tirelessly, constantly making mistakes but we kept on learning and improving.

In June 2019, we received a small business of the year award from the State of California!

4worldlovers: For some reason, people think fishermen like to tell stories. Well, our fishermen don’t. While all the other crabbers and captains were packed into the local bar boozing and swapping sea tales, ours were back home, playing with spices and boiling the best of their fresh catch for the family. Ok, they were probably drinking too. We haven’t been telling our story since 2004, but we do write it down almost every day. It’s written in Sha-bang sauce all over your bib and with beer spilt across the table. Every face in here has our story written on it in smiles and smears. Because the best stories aren’t just told, they’re tasted and lived.

Launching a restaurant when it’s only takeout on the menu


We’ve done takeout from here a few times and have always been impressed by the food. Tonight we decided to dine in, and if I could give 10/5 stars, I would. First and foremost, the food comes out HOT. Like need to let it cool off before diving in hot, and you just don’t get that very often anymore. I can’t say enough good things about the service. We came in with our 8month old in a stroller and they made sure to give us a table we would fit at, and checked in multiple times to make sure we were comfortable.. Finally, the vibes. The live band is an unbelievable mood setter, and it’s truly impossible to be there in a grumpy mood. Whether you go for the amazing food, hospitable service, or feel-good vibes, just make sure you go.

Love love love this place. This place opened during the pandemic, and it’s already a neighborhood favorite with plenty of people for dinner.

There’s live music, though it can be rather loud and unpleasant if you’re sitting by the front door. I recommend the back patio if you’d prefer something quieter. The inside can be a bit chilly, too.

The Happy Hour menu and Shrimp & Grits keep me coming back here, and it’s also such a nice and fun environment. Great service, plenty of happy and nice people here.

Great option for drinks, though there are plenty of other places nearby for drinks and sweets afterward.

I’ll be back whenever I’m craving a hearty shrimp and grits dish!

First off excellent service and hospitality. The food was delicious. We got the dirty fries which have a lil kick to them but if you like spice its perfect for you. The On the Bayou packed a lot of flavor. We got the catfish blackened which was a great decision. We also got the fried catfish and shrimp plate. I preferred the catfish, cooked perfectly with juicy flavor. The place also had some good vibes music that wasn’t too loud for conversation. Definitely going back.

Mardi Gras Tuesday is a gem! The food is delicious, the ambiance inviting and the staff incredible. They also have live music some nights and specials all the time. Must try! You’ll love it!
