Welcome to Bon Temps Grill


Nestled in the heart of Cajun Country, Bon Temps grill embodies the weloming spirit and culinary excellence of the cajun people. With a varied and award winning menu and atmosphere that is second to none, an outing to the Bon Temps grill will be an experience you won’t soon forget. You could call us a steakhouse or a seafood restaurant, our menu is full of steak and seafood offerings, but we like to think of ourselves a unique neighborhood grill and bar where strangers become friends, and friends become family.

Discover “Swamp Edge” cuisine in an urban Cajun atmosphere. Cajun and Creole cuisines have a long history in Louisiana. Some academics recognize a distinction between the two in origin, but as we can attest a number of restaurants feature dishes with both Cajun and Creole elements. For those not yet accustomed to Cajun and Creole food, below are some terms you may encounter on our menu.

We suggest trying one of our unique mesquite wood grilled menu offerings, such as Apple and Tasso Stuffed Pork Chops, Grilled Tuna BLT, or choose from our daily selection of grilled fish topped with one of our savory house-made sauces. You should also swing by after work and relax with a Gator-Tini, glass of wine or one of the local craft beers we have on tap. We have some great local craft beers available, brewed right here in Louisiana and built to pair well with our menu items. First there is Abita Amber, which has a smooth, malty, slightly caramel flavor and a rich amber color. Then we have Canebrake, which is a refreshing wheat style brew with notes of sugarcane, honey, spice, and citrus on the finish. Our third local craft brew is LA 31 Biere Pale, which bronze colored with a biscuity malt center, herbal hop flavors and a gentle, mellow bitterness. This beer is crafted to enhance the unique cuisine and lifestyle of South Louisiana. (Descriptions were adapted from beer websites). So swing by Bon Temps Grill because we’re a neighborhood place for friends and family to share in Good Times.
