“I love their food. I usually order to go, so I'm not really sure what the atmosphere is like when eating inside. My favorite thing to order is the double combo with fish and shrimp and a blooming onion. It's very good. My only complaint is sometimes they forget to provide the dipping sauces. I highly recommend checking your food before leaving the restaurant.“
“Not from here, from San Diego so take this for what it's worth . My wife is from Louisiana so I just ask her how things taste ?Bought 20 boudin balls and steamed Cajun peanuts . Amazing price cause the way that food taste , that would be a pretty penny in San Diego .Would go again . No pics cause we ate it all“
“The wait wasn’t long at all which was surprising. We sat down and they delivered us the food. The food was fresh and hot. It was definitely delicious! They have someone come by to clean tables. He asked us if we needed anything. A super sweet person and a hard worker. I recommend visiting and trying a plate!“
“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 ☹!“
“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.“
“This place is AMAZING. Everytime I'm riding through Port Allen of course I have to stop and I always spend wayy too much money. They have lots of choices of meals or individual items. And if you like them they have a freezer section with most of the items to buy and bring home! They have amazing pepper jellys and jars of pickles, okra and asparagus that are out of this world. If you haven't enjoyed a meal here before. I absolutely recommend!!“
“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.“

“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 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.“
“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...“
“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!!! ❤️“
“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!“
“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...“
“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 ? “
“The food here was amazing! My husband had the red beans and rice with pork chop and I had the hamburger steak with mashed, gravy and onions. As truck drivers we have traveled all over the US trying out different truck stop diners, this one is simply the best! Not to mention everyone is super friendly!“
“The Blackened Shrimp Caesar Salad & Chicken Rena Sandwich were fantastic! This was a great place to grab a quick bite on the road! The owner was great to chat with and there was even a porch with tables so you didn't have to eat in the car. 10/10 recommendation!“
“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!“
“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!“
“I was in town for a quick trip. Ran across this place waiting on my flight, and I can promise I will make the trip again just to come back here. Unbelievable soup and drinks. Chips and salsa were great as well. I had the best bowl of caldo de res that I have ever had in my life. The seafood soup looks absolutely delicious.“
“I had an excellent time here. It was me and my wife’s third anniversary. We were both tired from working and just wanted to do something small and cozy. The food, atmosphere, and service were great. Our first time here but not the last! ?“
“Super yummy food.Shrimp po boy is fresh ,hot and delicious.Fried Chicken and are tasty also.Although the wings are on the smaller side.Meat pies could use more meat or less breading.Food is usually fresh so be prepared to wait if there is a line.“
“i love their butter sm!!!! they let my grandma, brother and i have a sample of the shrimp and it was absolutely amazing(≧∀≦) their fries are very crispy and if a restaurant’s fries are crispy, nine times of ten the food will be amazing too!!! i recommended this place to my friends and told them we’re coming here the next time we go out to eat✌︎('ω')✌︎ the service was great and the people are very nice<33 i highly highly recommend coming downtown to visit and have their amazing food( ^ω^ )“
“The catfish is very good. 12 strips is planty. Wish they had better sides. The fries are not good, the salad could be a lil bigger.The MAMA who runs the front cashier is a SPIT ?. She got it together baby!Reasonable priced and well worth it.Kid-friendliness: WelcomingParking: Kinda tight because ppl love this placeWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“I like Tuckers. The people there are nice. They cook the food fresh when you order. They have excellent fried catfish. So it can take 15-20 min when you order. But, if you want home cooked Cajun food, it's really the only place in Zachary that I feel comfortable going to.“
“The best wings i’ve had so far in baton rouge, I’ve been too many other spots and none of them compare to KOKservice was phenomenal, the host was very attentive and had a great personality and made sure our order was taken care ofthe wait time took about 15 minutes which isn’t bad at all considering how much food was being orderedwe ordered about 30 wings and a order of the “KRACKLIN” which is their own twist on pork rinds using chicken skins which were phenomenal, i will definitely be back and this will be a top pick in my rotation when i ever want some good wings definitely recommend giving them a try, 10/10Dietary restrictions: the fried chicken skins are a great alternative for people on a ketogenic diet and still like french fries, definitely raised the experience to the roof“
“Decor is minimum. TVs for sport fans.Ordered pork chop sandwich, onion rings, roast beef sandwich and a cup of etouffee. The sandwiches were large. Pork chop had great crunch; however, after taste was off and we could not figure out the spice. The roast beef was divine but the bread fell apart and I ate it with a fork and knife. Onion rings were decent and so were the fries. Etouffee was pretty good. The roast beef by itself is wonderful!!“
“I know they are short handed at times, but there is one waitress or she just stays behind the counter, not sure, but she doesn’t have a good attitude or “bedside manner” so to speak. All the call in orders get taken care of prior to you being seated. The last 2 times we’ve been there, we’ve had to sit for 20 min while 13 customers (not counted) came in to pick up their call in orders while we just sat & waited. We almost left. The food is good, it’s not great, but it’s good. The shrimp & corn soup is good, but too much corn. The crawfish e’toufe isn’t the best. Their seafood gumbo is good, I do love their fruit, pecan salad with the house dressing.“
“This was the first time my husband and I visited this establishment. The staff was extremely friendly. We ordered tamales, boudin balls, and fish and shrimp plates. We have absolutely no complaints about the food. We are looking forward to returning and trying other food.“
“I honestly thought this place was closed when I pulled into the drive thru, but the service was quick, kind, and convenient. I got the oyster poboy and fries and had enough food to have another meal! Truly fantastic through and through, probably the best poboy I've had and the fries were well seasoned and crispy.“
“Can't really comment on the atmosphere because the inside is still closed due to COVID. However, the service at the window and the food was good! The food is hot & fresh because it's made to order and there wasn't a long wait so I was good with that!“
“Food is so good, cheap, and fast but it's very hot inside so I'd suggest to get it to go and also there's a slight language barrier which can make it hard to placed your order but otherwise I suggest ordering good food from there.“
“The best little seafood shop scenic highway scenic highway seafood they got the best of everything and they sell chitlins too or I went there and laid there and got me some of them good red beans and rice and fried chicken and cornbread cornbread taste like cake and baby did I eat I usually eat that much but I ate that whole plate they have some good food I'm planning on going there tomorrow to get me some more of that good food so talk to you later go there and try it scenic seafood.“
“It was Great food! Season to perfection. I will definitely go back there. The presentation of the ribs isn’t attractive but the flavor and tenderness is definitely there. The owner was very hospitable which makes you feel very comfortable and willing to support. I highly recommend you going.“
“Ate there for the first time recently. Everything about the place was excellent! Quality food! Quality service! And great atmosphere..lightimg perfect..tables not too close together like some places..very cozy! Oh did i mention the food! Better than u will find at most other high end restaurants! Everything we ordered was exceptional!!“
“Stopped here for dinner one evening when I came to town for work. Sat at the bar & had a really great conversation with the bartender who shared some local insight and a phenomenal dinner. The spoon bread is delicious! Highly recommend!“
“recently got a tooth pulled and was on a soft foods frenzy!!lol but i googled mashed potatoes and sure enough google led me to exactly where i needed to go,mashed potatoes with hamburger steak with 2 sides for the win i love it!!food was smoking “
“We heard about "Steak night" and decided to try it out since we haven't been here in a few yrs. It was very good! Steak was tender and juicy also came topped with grilled shrimp also w/potatoes, garlic bread and a salad. Service/staff were friendly & efficient. Of course we just had to get the brownie hot fudge alamode for dessert that surly topped off our date night!! Thanks to all !“
“I've gotten sandwiches from the po'boy Express on cedar Crest which is closer to my house, but this public expresses shrimp Po boy and french fries on Florida avenue this afternoon was excellent. So much better than I've had before at the other location.“
“Wonderful drive through po-boy diner with many options! We got the shrimp burger with fries, family fries, sweet biscuits, crab Rangoon and fish poboy. The portions are large so this was enough for lunch and dinner for two.Kid-friendliness: My 2 year old loved the fries!“
“We ordered steak fried rice which I highly recommend!!. But in times past when I ordered I was served an amount that would feed two people. Or which would allow me leftovers for another day. Well now you are served just enough for one meal....and you pay a higher price! Not good business I think. I don't mind paying more if the price is commensurate with the quality and amount I receive. Anything other than that in my opinion just isn't good business ?“
