Tailgate Starters this Season

Two local favorite spots serve it up for game days

With amazing game day food and drink specials, large party seating options, plenty of TVs, and a high-energy environment to match, Oly's Tavern and BayouQ Smokin' Bistreaux and Bar offer the ultimate in game day viewing, eating and drinking. "We are building Oly’s Tavern on great service, atmosphere, sports, entertainment, and delicious food", says proud owner, Dale Messman. His team prides themselves on delivering unforgettable sports event watching, with multiple TVs, entertainment, and an overall incredible social experience. The burgers are a crowd-pleaser and a classic Oly's favorite, especially during football season.

The Oly's Burger is served up smothered in sautéed onions and cheddar cheese, served with house-seasoned french fries. This dish is a perfect match for game day enthusiasts. Chipotle shrimp tacos with pico de gallo, chipotle crema, and slaw serve as another delicious option from Oly's. The shrimp and grits scampi-style features jumbo shrimp, stone ground pepper jack cheese grits, bacon, scallions, and pico de gallo and is a perfect dish for sharing with your crowd.

Marcus Dickman, owner at BayouQ says, "We can hardly wait for game days to start and we are ready for the crowds." BayouQ's jumbo smoked wings are slowly smoked and fried crispy, tossed with a dry rub, lemon pepper or a choice of BBQ sauces. They are a game-day-watching staple. The Bayou Bang Shrimp are jumbo fried shrimp tossed in a creamy, spicy sriracha aioli on crisp, fresh cabbage slaw -- basically a delicious tailgate on your plate!

Whether your crowd is cheering on your favorite team at Oly's Tavern or BayouQ or simply picking up must-have items for a tailgate at home, their team has every fan covered.
