“100% recommend this restaurant!! I got the Ribeye French Dip!! With The jalapeño spread on the side!!! Wow!!! 100 of 100 great service and food!! Cheers”
“Mike and I eat or takeout, almost every weekend, from Al Noor. The Owner/Cook and his family are very nice people. I am addicted to the Lobster Masala, especially when he adds shrimp (Seafood Masala) cooked in the delicious mushroom sauce. Mike doesn't eat seafood so he is hooked on their Chicken Tikka Masala, (it was the 1st thing I tried and feel in love with the dish also). I absolutely love this place, it's a clean, small but intimate spot with a convenient location. I would go to Sally's for hair products, get my nails done, eat at Al Noors and go to Walmart. Not always in that order. I never leave reviews but I had to, finally, share this place with you guys. Oh and don't forget the Garlic Buttered Nan!”

“Looking for a new place to try on Google maps and came across Pink Agave. A group of friends and I decided to give it a try. When we walked into the restaurant was still decorated with Mardi Gras theme. Looking around there is plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. The service was great. The food was good and the music wasn’t so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation with the table. Beer area and look at to try something new give the spice a try and I believe they have two more locations in different cities.”

“A friend referred me to Stone and Cloth last year, when I told her I was looking for a new stone for my breakfast table. My mother and I walked into their shop pre-lockdown and were warmly welcomed by Kelly Kirby. She gave me great suggestions for a replacement stone and a list of the Stone Distributors in town to search for my desired slab. Her suggestion for the marble was spot on and that’s the one we selected for our breakfast table. Since I placed my order during the lockdown, installation was delayed until phase 2 would allow for work to commence. During the waiting period, Kelly worked with me regarding having my existing breakfast table stone retrofitted for one of my bathroom counters. They removed the existing sink and under-mounted a new one to freshen up bathroom. At the same time, we realized the remaining piece of the slab for the breakfast table would fit perfectly in a second bathroom and a new sink under-mounted as well. We are very pleased with the excellent fabrication of all of the stone work and the installers had been polite, thorough and efficient. I highly recommend using Stone and Cloth for all of your building needs.”

Not a fan of the steaks though, flavorless even though we added the garlic butter for $8.00 extra and Crab meat was very minimal for an extra $18.00. Ordered medium and received rare.

“Awesome people and are willing to go the extra mile to make a customer happy. We picked up 15lbs of live crawfish at 12:30 in the afternoon and got home to clean them and prepare for a boil at 430. We noticed a few were dead and called and they let us know to wait and see if they wake up from being on ice. When we went to boil at 3 we noticed even more not moving and potentially dead. We brought them back and they kindly swapped it out for new crawfish. I appreciate them taking the time to show us a crawfish after being on ice and being kind to us and replacing them! Crawfish were amazing in size!”

“Outstanding experience at Bay Leaf! Bobby was excellent - attentive, passionate, and genuinely cared about the quality of the food and overall experience. The butter chicken was absolutely amazing, and the desserts were completely over the top. I’ve had two client meetings here already, and it has been a great spot every time. I highly recommend Bay Leaf to anyone in Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas. I’ll definitely be back!

“Superb Italian food . We stopped driving to New Orleans for Italian when we found Fratelli’s. Owner is excellent at finding a wine to match your dish and your palate at reasonable prices never stops surprising us with wine we have never experienced at reasonable prices.”

“I am not one to post rants or raves on here but this particular business deserves all the rave! Zane and I have been using Fresh Chef Kitchen for a few weeks now and we are impressed every pickup. As you can see between us both, we eat a lot of chicken, and tons of green beans, which before I tasted these I HATED green beans. The pricing is so reasonable and the ordering goes so smooth. Of course there are tons of options for different proteins and greens, as well as so many flavors of chicken. The buffalo is our favorite and we basically fight over it lol. Every pickup we are greeted, and remembered and the owner is always so grateful. We spend more than this on grocery trips every week, plus the time it takes to cook everything, they just make life so much easier for us. Thankyou Brandi LeBlanc for introducing us to this! If anyone is looking for a meal prep service, or somewhere to get healthier cooked meals, please contact them!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.”

“You might want to acknowledge your customers that are coming to pick up an order, 3 or 4 people hanging around the drive thru window 1 customer walked in after I did. I'm standing at the register 2 employees see me but not one came over. This has happened before it was 3 or 4 people waiting for to go orders, this don't make any sense. Bad customer service do better or at least assign someone to assist with to go orders.”

“Just saw the Don Andre Investigations YouTube about how a Louisiana State Trooper was caught making False Statements about an Incident that took place behind Village Grocery's Parking Lot in 2018 and it was Village Grocery's Surveillance Cameras that revealed the Police Lies & Misconduct. In the YouTube, Clifton's Mother thanked Village Grocery for their Surviellance Cameras had brought Justice (and $9 Million) for Clifton. So since Village Grocery helped Reveal Police Misconduct, go get your Groceries & Seafood from Village Grocery!”

“So tonight I ordered again from Jasmines On the Bayou a Shrimp PoBoy and Seafood Platter. The Oysters were BURNT...all small FOUR of them...so crunchy a guest said the could have broken their teeth?!? I ordered the Shrimp PoBoy and only got a HALF! They said they would refund me, well DoorDash did...not sure why they did and not Jasmines. , waiting on an answer from them BURNT FOOD IS UNACCEPTABLE...there was no way they didn't know...really!!?? Especially if it can harm someone? What else was there was good, but it was disappointing it wasn't right, again! Oh, a good thing, the Shrimp and Corn soup had shrimp in it this time, just too creamy for my taste. Not used to cream in it. Another bad thing is Jasmines doesn't have an email to respond before posting a review. Enjoy the pics.”

“I had a great dining experience on a Sunday after church in this establishment.I thoroughly enjoyed devouring the quesadillas and my wife enjoyed the chicken wing platter which included tasty French fries. The ingredients in the quesadillas were fresh and the rations were bountiful. The toasted pressed tortilla, cheddar cheese, with chicken was delicious and complementing well. Accordingly, The music disc jockey provided vibrant tunes during the intervals and commercial breaks of the Saints | Panthers NFL contests. So if you looking for casual entertainment on a Sunday, Squeaky Pete’s is a great groove.”

“Had lunch there last week on fried chicken day. First thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean the place was. It’s a large space and was exceptionally clean. Since it was my first time there I approached the cashier and asked how the process works. I could not have approached a friendlier person. She was incredibly helpful and very accommodating. The servers were also very friendly and kept their areas very clean. Got my fried chicken with two sides and a drink. The chicken was exceptionally delicious. So very good. And not greasy- fried to perfection. I had green beans and a peach cobbler as my sides. The price point is very attractive. I’m looking forward to going again.”

I had the boudin egg roll which were delicious along with the Shrimp jambalaya.My wife had the chicken club and red beans and rice which are outstanding. My mother had the catfish and shrimp plate which is huge portions. The adult drinks are great with a huge selection. If I get the opportunity to visit I will definitely make a stop back. Love the atmosphere during football season although I’m not a Saints fan lol. But highly recommend giving this place a try.”

“Dave's Hot Chicken is a rave among the teens so I have been hearing about this place for a long time. We do not live in BR but come to BR very often. We finally went to this Dave's Hot Chicken. The food was good. I wouldnt say it was the spiciest there is but the flavor is good with out being over powering. We got two 2 strip meals and a chicken sandwich. The meals do not come with drinks. Each plate was plenty to eat on all day. Chicken was juicy and not at all over cooked. Atmosphere was fun and it felt huge inside. Plenty of seating. I didnt see that they had a drive through from what I could tell.”
