I didn’t love the grilled cheese dumplings, I thought the tomato soup was sweet but that’s definitely a personal preference! The sea bass was really amazing though, I’d go back and eat it in a minute!”

“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!!”

24 Hour Restaurants
Breakfast • $
“I ordered for the first time online today which was great. My expected pick up time was eight minutes after I ordered but unfortunately I didn’t get my order until 24 minutes after I ordered. I will say that I really do love waffle House. One of the few places that cook your food to order and they use real eggs, so I am OK waiting. I do feel that if there were more staff at this location that they would’ve been able to fulfill not only my order but the other customers in the restaurant quicker but I understand in this climate, it’s hard to find good people, thank you for my food. It was delicious.”
Breakfast • $
“Food is exactly what youre expecting when you think of a breakfast joint from an 80s movie diner without the smoking. Im not saying this in a negative viewpoint. You will understand once you eat here. Food is actually really good. Theyve had the same cook there for decades. He does an amazing job. I highly recommend their breakfast bowls and their scramblers. If you are going to get their waffles, make sure you eat them there while theyre fresh. Because if you take it to go, by the time you make it home the texture is like the microwaved kind. It has nothing to do with the quality of the waffle itself, it has to do more with the container. It retains moisture from the steam and therefore causes soggyness.”
Sandwich Shop • $
“A nice Subway thats been remodeled real well inside. Its great to come here if your waiting on a doctors apointment or if a family member or friend is in the emergency room and you wanna get something to eat. This location took a coupon that I had in the mail. Its open 24 hours which is great.”

“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!”

“Positive first experience. Went for late night dinner at this new spot in town. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Beef empanada was tasty- spicy & sweet with powdered sugar dusting. Had marinated beef dish with vegetables, rice, plantains (fried egg on top) and fried potatoes. It was very good. I would try chicken dish next time, as this appears to be their specialty. The price was a bit steep for the beef entree, but seemed authentic and served with love! ♥️♥️”

“Got food to go, but went inside to order. Plenty of options for sauces and they can easily accommodate bun options as well. Also having a choice of edamame as a side was pretty awesome. Fries are the soft/greasy style, kind of like Five Guys. My son got the kids meal with a lettuce wrap. I got the chili burger which was pretty tasty. They have good shakes as well.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals that can be fully customized to the child's tastes.”

“I love albasha.. I’ve tried two separate times to go to bluebonnets location. Food is great. Employees not so much. Today was the Second time a young lady named “Angelica” has gave me attitude . Cut me off. Made rude facial expressions and Slick comments. As a person in the restaurant business. I know some days aren’t the best. Inside or out side of work. But No one deserves to be treated a certain way because it’s a “bad day” . It hasn’t just been 1 time either. Also seemed like the other employees are used to her behavior. Love the food. Hate the service :)”

“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.”

“Was in town traveling on work and had a group dinner here. It was a beautiful night so we were able to sit upstairs on the patio. The location has a lot of seating.The music was a little bit loud, but that tends to go with the atmosphere.We had, several appetizers and all were tasty. Our group especially liked the grilled alligator.I ordered the catfish with crawfish etouffee. It was a lot but it was soooo tasty.Our server was prompt and attentive to our group.”
Seafood • $$
“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!”

Seafood • $$
“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.”

“Quiet Speakeasy Vibes ??Spent a weekend in Baton Rouge and decided to check this place out. We did not try or ask for food as we had dinner plans already. But the service was awesome! Sadly our bartender was moving on to another career but I will be back for sure.On the interior, you will find PLENTY of seating with chairs and couches to create little pockets of relax zones. There was even a back parlor for additional seating out of the main space. Dimly lit but not dark really gives that speakeasy vibe ?We tried the Champagne Cocktail and a French 75 to start. I have never tried a CC, but it’s essentially bitters, brandy, sugar cube and topped with champagne. Very fresh and I love a bubble ?! To close out, we got an Old Fashioned and a Dirty Martini ?”

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.”

“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.”

“I’ve only visited Sushi Mass twice and the time gap between both visits is by years, but don’t let that say anything bad. Both times I’ve been I have loved the food and enjoyed myself. The atmosphere is amazing and calm, a perfect sit down lunch/dinner. I’d honestly let the time gap show that the quality has always been there and I think I’ve found my new favorite place. I sadly lost my mom in 2022 and she didn’t care for Japanese food but my dad does, we’ve been looking for places to eat other than our norm and they fit the bill. Literally! We had the all you can eat lunch menu and literally paid the same we would at a steakhouse or even Applebees! Can’t beat that plus the atmosphere and customer service outranks all in my opinion.”

“If you are looking for high-quality sushi look no further. I get umami about once a week. I really was not a person who liked raw sushi before but now I don’t want anything else. I’ve tried eating raw sushi from other places, but it’s just not the same freshness. For me personally, I go for the nichi roll and the spicy salmon roll adding salmon on top is super good. I also really love the seafood Ramen and the little chili oil you can get on the side. Although I normally like to split with somebody and get a roll in the side just for a little variety. They also have more specialty fish like uni and bluefin tuna which I have been wanting to try, but they are on the more expensive side but I love how they have variety of really expensive items that are more rare hard to get and items that you can afford on a budget. They really have something for everybody so I definitely recommend you check it out if you’re wanting fresh sushi.”

“Went for late night drinks on a slower Sunday. We had the place to ourselves for the most part. The barkeep was attentive, yet allowed us our privacy to enjoy each other's conversation and company. Great service and good drinks. An enjoyable late night.”
Seafood • $$
“The crawfish were huge. I got take out and found the specials on facebook (it was $8/lb and now it's around $5/lb). They were slightly overcooked and the meat stuck onto the shells a little. I got it with the garlic butter sauce on top and man was it salty. The corn was good and the potatoes were slightly softer than my liking. Everything was drenched in the sauce so it was very salty. Service took about 10 minutes and the ambiance was relaxed and looked like the inside of a shack. I would try it again but without the garlic butter on top.”
Sports Bar • $$
“It looked really big and cool. Seemed like a cool place to have a tournament and a Corona. For the short time I was there the employees were really nice to me and very helpful.”
Greek • $$
“Take out was horrible. Stale pita with mushy and dry chicken. Gummy rice no peas. Yuck”
Hamburger • $$
“Got food to go, but went inside to order. Plenty of options for sauces and they can easily accommodate bun options as well. Also having a choice of edamame as a side was pretty awesome. Fries are the soft/greasy style, kind of like Five Guys. My son got the kids meal with a lettuce wrap. I got the chili burger which was pretty tasty. They have good shakes as well.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals that can be fully customized to the child's tastes.”

“Food was delectable! Atmosphere was perfect and intimate, service was fast and kind!Went here with a girlfriend, both of us are from out of town and cancelled our original plans wanting a more casual night. This was the PERFECT CHOICE. The naan is a must try and the hummus was SO rich and lovely. Great flavors for wine pairings. Absolutely recommend! Come here!”

“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.”

“Don't go too late, they will run out! Family owned & Operated - Life Blood of America! Not saying other spots around Baton Rouge aren't good (Meche's, Mary Lee, Shipley's all good, too); if you are in the area of Cedarcrest and Airline Hwy near Coursey - worth the stop. Best prices, made for those the love thirty food! ❤️ Been north of 100 times over 6 or 7 years, and it's the same, consistent everytime! (Granted, maybe the strawberry could use a touch more filling... what do I know. I'll eat it EVERYDAY, & love it.”

“Bayou Effect 10/10?I ordered the Seafood Pasta +Sweet Chili Wings . Along with Seafood Potato +Fish . The servings perfect for the price ! The pasta with the crawfish tails in the Alfredo sauce was perfect. I’d actually recommend the same cheese sauce for the seafood potato , which was very good as well. The wings were cooked perfectly and the sweet chili sauce is finger licking good ! And the fish was very crispy and seasoned!”

“Great Hamburgers and PoBoys. We have tried them both and they are outstanding, flavorful and fully dressed to order. The star item for us, when in season, are the crawfish! Beyond doubt, the BEST in the entire Baton Rouge area. They are delicious and precisely cooked and spiced. We drive from Gonzales weekly to get their terrific crawfish. Mike and Jack are friendly hosts and put their customer's satisfaction first.”

“Would be five stars except they don't offer their usual iced coffees or granitas like other locations. Otherwise very friendly staff, ample seating, good hot coffees, hot New Orleans style beignets, breakfast sandwiches. Basically a five star coffee spot, just have to dock them a star on gp for not being able to serve cold or blended drinks.”

Great every time!Great for dine in and the foil wrapped burritos make it home almost as fresh as in house. And the drive thru.
