“What a treat. We had a convention and training in Houston and wound up here at lunch. It was excellent. Going to the bar and talk to Caleb. He did an excellent job even ordering up all the different sauces that the house made so we could choose our favorite. A great restaurant with excellent servers“
“Have eaten here many times. Had Easter lunch there and was fantastic. Blackened redfish was one of the best meals I have ever eaten and Janice is worth the price of admission. Excellent overall dining experience. Would definitely recommend!“
“Went with some friends. It was not my first time and everything was really good. I will go again with my husband.Parking: There is free parking, we knew they did, however it's really wasn't enough for lots of cars to park.Kid-friendliness: Yes. We have a few small ones and they had small plate items for them.Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure, Didn't pay attention.“
“Easily the best salmon I've ever eaten. the server (I can't remember his name but he was a history teacher primarily) was amazing and very engaging with us. he even had no problem going back and forth between the kitchen and our table to ensure my dairy-free girlfriend could still have something delicious. truly a restaurant worth returning to if you are in the area.“

“When arrived we were setted immediately, our server came to the table in less than 2 minutes, took order for refreshment, gave us time to decide. Then came back to table took order. Our food arrived in Amp time hot and delicious. Then server came back several time to check on table. We were very pleased. ??Parking: Even though lot is shared with Planet Fitness it's still lots of parking available“
“Eliza is a hidden gem of Baton Rouge and features exquisite modern cuisine for South Louisiana palates. My experiences there having the fish sandwich and fresh the redfish with risotto make me want to come back and try the whole menu. Chef's kiss.“
“Crawford's has the best catfish on BOTH sides of the Mississippi! We drive all the way from CA just to get our fill! The staff is always friendly and we get treated like family. Thanks, Crawfords ... we'll be back when our hankering gets too strong to ignore! ♥️“
“Dempsey’s has some of the best food in Baton Rouge. The roast beef Poboy was amazing. Loved the gravy, tons of tender roast beef, French bread crispy crust with tender soft bread inside. The seafood stuffed potato was incredible, cheesy sauce and full of seafood. Will definitely be making another run soon.“
“Absolutely incredible food, incredible experience, incredible drinks, and incredible service! Truly the BEST BBQ I've ever had! And our server, Sophie, was absolutely amazing! Outstanding experience all around, and I can't wait to come back!“
“My husband and I went for Valentines Day for the all you can eat crawfish. The service was excellent, the food was delicious. I have been to a couple of all you can eat seafood restaurants and this by far has been the best service. Even the corn and potatoes were seasoned. Thank you guys for an amazing Valentines Day.“
“How sad - DO NOT order delivery from this location. I am visiting and love door-dash for moments like this. My order WAS NOT complete - the $8 cheesecake was NOT included, nor were there napkins or plastic ware or paper plate - so I had to resort to eating out of the bag. After waiting 45 minutes for the manager to call back to merely resolve the order, I had no resolution. Now - the restaurant will not answer my phone number. Food was fine - yet part of the 'atmosphere' of enjoying the popular shrimp boil is having everything you paid for, and utensils to enjoy it!“
“Extremely rude workers. They delete comments if they don't like the review. We had a party of 10 and waited like they asked then they tried to seat us at a table for 6 people. Five people would be piled on top of each other on a booth. asked to add a table ( there were 3 empty tables right by us) they said no but we could wait an additional hour for a table. asked for manager and a girl comes out saying she is manager. No apologies no nothing. We did call ahead and were told no same day reservations but they had a big enough table to accommodate us. I have been reading reviews and there are a ton similar to our experience. It's starting to seem they do not want to accommodate large parties and try to make the experience so unbearable that they eventually leave. We ALWAYS tip over 25 percent even when service sucks. Their loss!!“
“Have had several lunches, frozen meal items and ordered catered meal for Christmas. This business runs like a well oiled machine. The employees are like family and you will become a part of it. The food is cooked with attention and care as it is always consistently good. Check out the deserts and wine selections as well. A hidden gem.“
“Oh man, this is place is dangerous. Best seafood I've ever had, not just in Louisiana, but in my entire life. Freshness is one thing but that flavor cannot be beat. We went with our server's recommendations of the various daily specials and each entree knocked it out of the park. I genuinely cannot understand how something can be this good. A real gem in Baton Rouge. We contemplated coming back a second time during our very short trip because we feared nothing would live up to it- obviously untrue, such amazing food all around in the South - but an absolute must for anyone visiting the area.“
“If you’re looking for amazing food in Baton Rouge that’s authentic this is the place to come. You might as well try a little bit of everything from their hot line because it’s all amazing. If you’re there on a Sunday you have to get some crawfish pie.“
“Decided to try City Cafe for our Valentines Day lunch. The atmosphere was cozy and pleasant. Our server was very courteous and did everything in a timely manner. The food was amazing. We enjoyed the service and food so much we got some bread pudding to go for us. We will be back here, next on menu are the poboys because they looked good.“
“Fine dining at its best! Stop in and enjoy seafood and steaks cooked to perfection, or you can choose any way you would like it prepared. Everything is alacart, so the combinations are endless. Overall, the experience from start to finish was superb!“
“The food was amazing. We enjoyed the Sunday brunch menu which included the French onion soup, fried oyster salad and for entrees we ate the New Orleans Crab Cake Benedict and Short Rib Benedict. The manger was so gracious as to give me a small bottle of champagne to take home since all the desserts were made with chocolate and I am allergic. We will definitely be back for the dinner menu. Fantastic table side service, beautiful ambiance and excellent master chef food.“
“Too many waiters all descending upon you before you have a chance to sit down. Rush seems to be the name of the game. Forgot our appetizer but I think I wound up paying for it anyway. Veal Parmessan was too patties of veal in some sauce. Not bad but not up to my standards for Italian cuisine. But the place was packed so everybody else must have liked it. Steak Oscar, well, it was a nice filet with a few small pieces of asparagus sitting underneath. Nothing fancy at all.“
“So, I'm not explicitly saying I am a bbq snob, but unless I'm home (Texas), KC, or Carolina, I typically won't even try a place. However, I was with a group of locals that was sure their place could change my mind. Spoiler alert...it didn't. With that said, there were definitely some good points. First off, you could smell the smokers when you were in the parking lot, so great start. We showed up at the tail end of lunch and there were a lot of people seated. It took about 30 minutes to get seated, but it was a large crowd. I have no issues with the wait. I ordered a two meat plate with burnt ends, brisket, Mac and cheese and fries. Overall, I'm disappointed to say the Mac and cheese was the best. And it WAS really good. The burnt ends were way to dry for the most part. There were a couple of bites that were delightful, but for the most part all the fat had been rendered and they were just dry little nuggets. The brisket was ok. Also a little too dry and sliced thinner than I'm used to. It did have a decent smoke ring though! Our server was excellent. Kept checking on us and made sure drinks were filled. No issues there whatsoever. Would I come here as a destination meal? Not likely. But again, I live in what I consider the brisket capitol of the country, so keep that in mind. There were definitely some good bites, just not every bite. I give it a non bbq state 4 stars. “
“What a cool place...This was a great choice for dinner. It has really cool decor and a great environment. It is casual but upscale where you go there to watch sports, have a business meeting, or even a date. The service was off the hook awesome - Emily is a Rockstar waitress. The food was delicious. We had the gator bits as an appetizer. I had the catfish lebeaux, which was great. My friend had the delta queen and really enjoyed it. This is a great place to have a great meal.“
“The BOILED SHRIMP, CRAWFISH BOUDIN, and the BOILED CRAWFISH are amazing!!!! The shrimp has never been frozen, it’s straight from the Gulf. The crawfish boudin is the appetizer, before you dive into everything else. And, the spice combination used to boil the crawfish is spot on!Last but not least, their prices are very reasonable!“
“At Ethel’s Snack Shack, my lunch experience surpassed expectations. The food, expertly crafted to order, was a delightful blend of flavors that left my taste buds thoroughly satisfied. The staff's warm greeting and prompt order-taking added to the inviting atmosphere.The camaraderie among patrons created a welcoming vibe, making me feel right at home. As I savored my meal, the attentive service continued with a timely delivery of piping-hot dishes within a mere 10 minutes. The repeated inquiries about my needs demonstrated a level of customer care that didn't go unnoticed.A standout feature was the thoughtful disposal service – rather than searching for a waste bin, leaving the tray on the table for the staff to handle exemplified their commitment to customer convenience and service excellence.While seating was ample, it's worth noting that peak lunch hours might lead to limited availability. Nevertheless, the overall experience at Ethel’s Snack Shack is a testament to their commitment to providing a great, hot lunch. Do keep in mind that while certain menu items are available daily, the added variety on select days adds an exciting touch to your dining options. A definite recommendation for those seeking a superb dining experience in the area.“
“Came here for my lunch break. It was not busy at all, so the service was extremely quick and the server was friendly. The vibes inside are nice and cozy - especially love the sky mural on the ceiling! I was in and out within 30 min. The tempura bento box was delicious. The prices are very affordable here too - I've spent more money at places like Taco Bell for a much less satisfying experience. I'll be back to Wahada for sure!!“
“Fleming was an absolute delight! We made reservations for our anniversary and upon arrival, the hostess gave me a rose and walked us to our table. We felt so VIP! I got the blueberry lemon drop and boy that was YUMMY! Like candy. I got 2, the second was more strong, but still delicious, probably my favorite one ever. For my meal, I got the French onion soup and holy moly.... That was so good. Husband got the ribeye and it had lots of fatty pieces left. We also got a side of the Brussels sprouts and they were good but strong! Like Italian dressing. To finish, we ordered the crème brulee and it was great!! The "ice cream" was like cream cheese. So good. Would 1000% recommend. got the Brussels sprouts as an ap“
“Great Food and Great Atmosphere!! Had my daughter's LSU Graduation lunch here and Stacey, the general manager, could not have been more accommodating. Terrence, our server, was awesome!! Even though we had a party of twenty, he kept drinks filled, got our food to us in a timely manner, and always had a smile on his face! Thank you Southern Pearl!! Great Job!!“
“This is a typical local place with poboys, burgers, etc. I love going there on Wednesdays to get their chicken fried steak special. Our son loves to go there because they have a game room with a claw machine that gives out candy. We always leave full and happy.“
“This is our go to Pizza place! So much better than the chain places. Made fresh, ready to pick up in 20 minutes, with fresh, yummy ingredients. The staff, especially the owner and his wife, are so nice and we almost always get a little treat of lemon or other cake for FREE! When we go inside to eat, the food is just as good and fresh-made, we love the Alfredo and Chicken Parmesan and service is always great. Definitely a consistent and delicious gem in Central.Parking: Parking right out front.Kid-friendliness: Great place for families and good kid’s menu choices.“
“I've been to both locations and glad they opened this one closer to my house. They sat us quickly, service was friendly, and kitchen was efficient. Food had the perfect temperature and taste. The best part is that the manager and owner came to check on us. Made us feel valued.“
“In town from Michigan and this place popped up. The customer service and vibe is amazing!!! The food taste fresh and flavors amazing. I’m here until Friday and will be back before I go. A must try!!!!!! My daughter loved it also.Father and Daughter from Michigan“
“This place is such a cute place, its family run business. They are so friendly and welcoming, there’s a reason why their customers keep coming back. There crawfish was on fire, coming from Texas, Louisiana crawfish is much more spicier. I usually can’t handle spice much but I kept on eating more and more. And to be honest I think it cleared up part of my cold I was fighting too. But over all it was great, will have to stop by again when I’m going through Baton Rouge.“
“The young lady who takes the orders at the window named Barbie has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced! She always so sweet and patient, and also very accurate with any information you may need. She honestly makes the experience feel like no other and she deserves a raise and proper recognition. Along with the amazing food, I come just to see her. Thank you Barbie and I love your nails!!! ❤️“
“Trying to find live crawfish Sunday morning was harder than I thought. I reached out to farmers meat market the morning of and they were more than happy to help. When I arrived I was able to get a 35lbs bag of the largest and most fresh crawfish I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend them for live crawfish.“
“This Seafood spot is such a surprise!!!! Don't let the exterior put you off...the food is SPECTACULAR and their prices are really reasonable too! Their fish is prepared to perfection, tender AND flakey! Sooooo delish! I will be a regular!“
“It was a nice restaurant. The waitress was busy so I understand waiting for things longer than normal. The food was good. I got the Louisiana hot chicken meal and it wasn’t overwhelming with spicy, which I loved. Whatever glaze they put on it gave it a great finish. It reminded me of the chipotle chicken tenders that you can get at chilis. I would come back and try other items on the menu“
“My girl SUE was AMAZING!!!! If you ever eat here, ask for her directly! Always attentive, was present, but still gave us privacy, made great recommendations for food choices, sweet presence, professional, and super nice! My husband and I’s 5 star experience was owed to her! Great waitress!!“
“The food was delicious. Though a bit pricey, I love their steak quesadillas. You've got to try the Burrito Loco also. They also make nice mixed drinks. The service was quicker than expected. The atmosphere is really nice. Wish I would have stayed longer to hear the band play.“
“I recommend Phil's Oyster Bar & Seaford Restaurant for their atmosphere, service, and food. We made reservations and didn't have to wait to be seated. Our waitress was wonderful and paid attention to details, as in special requests due to allergies. The charbroiled oysters were the best. Phil's is definitely the place to go for seafood.“
“We've been to this location more than once since they've moved from their previous location. Everything has been excellent! The service has been great, our waitress Ms. Amya was wonderful & pleasure. No complaints about the food, it has been great! From the duck empanadas to the seafood menu you can't go wrong. Definitely won't be the last time we visit.“
“Seafood was really good. Crab legs were good size. Crawfish were tiny but still good. They also did not have any blue crabs so they substituted head on shrimp. I dinged them one star because They did not inform me they were out of blue crab at the time that I ordered nor did they ask me what I would like to substitute it with.. I may have ordered something else. Or chose something else other than head on shtimp as the replacement item“
“When I tell you this place was so awesome for brunch. It's for grown folks of all backgrounds. The food was amazing, the biscuits were big and soft and buttery. The chicken wings were seasoned so well as was all the other food. The area stayed clean and the bottomless mimosas stayed flowing. I believe this the best brunch in town. Cost efficient with all you can eat and drink mimosas. The music was good too with a great mixture of good r and b, zydeco, blues, and of course Baton rouge local music. Look forward to going again soon...“
“I’m fairly new to University Seafood and I absolutely love the crawfish. They are always hot and just enough spice. The flavor is amazing, please don’t ever change your recipe. It’s my “go-to” now. Used to be Tony’s Seafood, but now it’s University Seafood! They are consistent. Been there 4 times now. And every time they are absolutely delicious. Thank you!“
“My husband and I came to try our first dim sum, and even though I had no idea what to expect the wonderful staff walked me through it and explained what the dishes were. We had a wide variety of food, and everything was fantastic. It’s truly authentic and the customer service is out of this world. I highly recommend the shrimp and chive pot stickers if you go for dim sum. They were my favorite!“
“Food was excellent. The staff and the management team was awesome, the older guy at the drive-thru was very attentive to me and I loved the crawfish sample. I'm from New Orleans and Bayou Seafood crawfish is delicious and affordable hands down! I will be back with my friends and family ? “
“Ate here this week. I had the Appetizer Trio: mozzarella sticks, rocket shrimp with a spicy aioli and crawfish beignets. It was delicious. I could not eat all of it. Friend had the Turkey and Bacon jam panini. Also very tasty. I had never had Bacon Jam. It could become a fave.“
“I have to say this is one of those hole in the wall places that really knock it out the park with certain things... and this place has some of the best lemon pepper wings I have ever had... the taste is unbelievable... I can't say anything for the other dishes... but the lemon pepper wings are by far my favorite... I will definitely be making the long trip back here for them again...“
“My first time at this place the staff was friendly and amazing. I am not a Louisana native btw. I got the crawfish wacky pack. It was fresh and steamed well and moist. I gave it a 4 because I think it lacked flavor a little. I will try the shrimp and give another “
“I'm not big on Me I a food, but I went here for a birthday celebration! I asked someone who worked there what they recommended. His eyes lit up as he described the trio fajitas. I took his suggestion! Boy, he was spot on! The shrimp were plump and cooked perfectly! The steak was seasoned perfectly, cooked perfectly and was so tender! The chicken and veggies were amazing! The service was spot on! I wish that I lived in Baton Rouge because I'd be eating here weekly!“
“We were vacationing in Baton Rouge, and it being a Saturday, there weren’t many places open for dinner in the downtown area. Luckily, we stumbled upon Cecilia’s Creole Bistro which is open from 4 to 9pm. Upon entering, we were greeted, and the restaurant was very clean, quaint, not crowded, and with a great ambience. The speakeasy music lent to the ambience. They had a great menu, with interesting options. The food was absolutely delicious. What was really nice, was the constant water fill-up…no need to ask for it ?. The service was exceptional and always with a heartfelt smile, especially by our server, Malaine. The service she provided was the icing on the cake.p.s. the Cornbread Skillet is to die for. Too bad, I live 1300 miles away ☹!“
