Bon Temps Creole Cafe - Creole restaurant in San Luis Obispo - 1819 Osos St, USA

Gem in SLO. My family and I have been going to Bon Temps for breakfast for about 2 years. The food is always good. Priced mid to higher side of average but you won't find this food experience anywhere else in the area. I recommend ordering the French Toast as an appetizer and share it with everyone at your table.

For breakfast all options were made with eggs and I wanted something else, so I got Pain Perdu French toast. I’d recommend it if you’re sweet tooth. There was too much maple syrup, but it was delicious overall. The service wasn’t great though.

With all the great reviews for this place I wonder if there is another Bon Temps that I mistakenly went to. Nope, this is the same one When I tried my bloody Mary and the cornbread I was excited because they were both great. But unfortunately it went downhill fast after that. We ordered seafood gumbo and fried shrimp salad. I'm not exaggerating when I say there wasn't even a slight taste of Creole or spiciness in either dish.Nada. It tasted like I would expect something from Denny's to taste like. Furthermore, seafood gumbo is supposed to be thick with fish. Take a look at the picture. Then Google a picture of seafood gumbo. Quite a difference, no? We were really looking forward to this place. Unfortunately it didn't work for us.

This was so delicious and the rum honey so good! Definitely try this place out you will not regret it!

When you first go in the atmosphere seems like a creole restaurant. We were seated at a reasonable time. It was nice that we had the option to order either breakfast or lunch. Some of us got either. I ordered their Genuine Seafood Gumbo. I was disappointed at how they managed to downplay the flavor. It was very mild for my liking. The portion was a good size and it was nice that I actually got a crab leg but I was not impressed by their flavors overall. My plate also came with a side of corn bread and to my disappointment it was too dry to enjoy. My husband had a better experience with his dish. He ordered off the breakfast menu. His order came with hash browns, poached eggs, beans and andouille sausage. It was very delicious.

Got seated quickly on a Sunday afternoon. Live music was a nice touch. Dog friendly patio. Mimosa was stiff. French toast wad drenched in their special syrup. Jambalaya could have had a bit more flavor. Faitdodo with hash browns offered a nice texture. Corn bread and biscuit were also good.

I really didn't like the waitress. It seemed like a bother that I asked for no grits and no biscuit and for a box when I had leftovers. Food was good. Not a place to go if you are looking for healthy options.

Love this place! Both times we've been we've ordered the same omlette and French toast thing. They don't disappoint! Usually would give a better review of atmosphere but they must be having issues with their sewer. We had to sit outside given the smell. Server was wonderful also!
