OGF: 3/5
Probably a better choice for dinner; if MicroGrub weren’t specifically rating spots for lunch, we would have gone for a higher OGF. As it is, Celtic Bayou probably won’t make it into most people’s regular lunch rotation, despite its surprisingly complimentary mix of Irish, Cajun and burgers with a Pub atmosphere. Which is a shame since it’s one of Redmond’s more unique restaurants. If you’re a trivia fan, be sure to stop by Monday nights for some friendly competition.
Taste: 4/5 – It’s hard to find a dish here that’s a disappointment, with the possible exception of vegetarians, it should be easy for everyone in your group to find something they like whether it be a Cajun gumbo, an Irish stew or a surprisingly good burger.
Price: 3/5 – Nothing shocking, dishes usually clock in at just over $10.
Quantity: Just right – maybe even a little too much, but you most likely won’t be bringing home leftovers
Wait Time: 25 minutes – this really is the main issue preventing us from giving it a higher recommendation, CB is definitely more of a dinner and drinks place making it hard to be in and out for an hour lunch.
Rotation: 1 – there’s a decent variety, but more in terms of the spices used than the meat + starchy carbs theme
% MSFT employees: 75% or more
Parking: Easy
Prime Card: No
Don’t Miss: Adding some novelty hot sauce to your Jambalaya.
