“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!”

“My vegetarian son and I came in on an LSU game day. Due to that, there was a limited menu of tacos, none of which were vegetarian. But I asked an employee, Maddie, who turned out to be the manager, if there was anything that could be done. She checked with the kitchen and my son was able to get a fried avocado taco along with a bean and cheese one. She went above and beyond when she could easily said sorry (because the place was packed!!. And we had such a great experience thanks to Maddie”

Cocktail Bar • $$
“Dinner at Eliza in Baton Rouge felt like stepping into a quietly elegant celebration of Southern hospitality—warm, thoughtful, and deeply delicious from start to finish.
We began with drinks that set the tone beautifully: a Watermelon Gimlet—fresh, fragrant, and perfectly balanced—and a crisp, subtly spiced Basil Cucumber Mule Mocktail in a copper mug. Later in the evening, a smooth Espresso Martini brought just the right note of indulgence.
The Soft Shell Crab Gnocchi was a standout—perfectly crisp and golden, served over pillowy gnocchi with Lake Pontchartrain blue crab, brightened by pesto cream and sauce vierge.
The Chicken Paillard was equally lovely: tender, pan-sautéed chicken with crispy potatoes, Creole mustard sauce, and a peppery arugula salad that brought everything into balance.
Dessert was a perfect finale: a light, tangy Lemon Ice Box Pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and just a touch of hazelnut syrup—simple and satisfying.
The setting itself is a study in understated charm—refined but never fussy. Polished wood tables, bentwood chairs, and candlelight create a soft, intimate glow, while the walls are anchored by a striking print from John James Audubon’s Birds of America—specifically, Plate 217: Louisiana Heron. This exquisite illustration—delicate in form and poised in presence—is more than décor; it echoes the restaurant’s spirit: graceful, locally rooted, and quietly elevated.
And while the food and ambiance were exceptional, it was Amya’s warm, gracious service that truly made the experience memorable. She was intuitive and kind, attentive without ever interrupting the rhythm of the evening—a rare and welcome gift.
Eliza is the kind of place that understands what makes a meal linger in your memory: not just what’s on the plate, but how it’s served, where it’s enjoyed, and the thoughtful touch behind it all.
We can’t wait to return.”

“Outstanding in all aspects! We got to town a little late & stopped in just for a lite bite & drinks.

Again everything was fantastic!! Thank you to Brian, Sadie, Seth & everyone for the wonderful service & evening 🍷🥂😘”

We normally go on Sunday for brunch (because of babysitter availability) but we were able to go for dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. When I tell you the flat iron steak we had was 100% PERFECT, I’m not exaggerating. Temp was perfect. Cut was perfect. Flavor was perfect. French onion soup was perfect. Thank you, David, Kori and everyone else who played a hand in our most recent experience. Y’all are amazing!!”

“I literally just pulled off from this Burger King and had to come do a review before I forgot ! The girl that was taking orders and handing food out was soooo nice , patient , respectfully , polite , in good spirits and so much more I loveeee her attitude I wouldn’t normally get greeted like how she greeted me unless I was at Chick-fil-A or something of that sort. I enjoyed every bit of that experience ! She deserve a raise ! She takes her job serious and she cherish what she doing no matter what people say about Burger King ! It’s what you make it and bk need more employees like that to represent them.i don’t know her name but she told me about the deals that was going on and everything ! She was short , natural hair in a puff to the back with glasses on I like her hair had blonde highlights! Fast food restaurants are so impatient when it comes to taking orders ! I didn’t get that experience today and I love every bit of it. The food was a 10/10 and I got something so simple. Bacon cheeseburger medium onion ring and medium coke ! Everything was fresh down to the coke ! I asked for well done onion rings they gave me exactly everything I asked for ! The burger was fresh neatly assembled cheese was melted nothing was on the paper neatly folded I take pride in my food and I love when employees show dedication in there job ! Everything was a 10/10 today ! Don’t get me wrong I visit this location often and never got this experience before ! Give the whole staff for tonight a raise honestly ! REAL REVIEWS”

“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.”

“I asked about the size of oxtails and the response was a bit attitudal but understanding in a sense. Customer service is subpar meaning it depends on their mood. Food is good but service takes away from overall experience. People want what they want to pay for and if they want to pay extra then you should be willing to accept but the fact that they actually want to serve everyone is admirable….even if they only have a handful of customers on some days.”

“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!”

“We stopped here on our girls trip and this place is Awesome! We ordered the biggest platters they had and some small ones. You can create your own platter which is my favorite part. This place did not disappoint. The guy behind the counter was so friendly and nice. You won’t be disappointed if you’re a seafood lover. You can sit inside or outside. We loved both. The decor was very pleasant throughout. We are definitely going back when we pass through again.”

It was absolutely what we were looking for! The sizes varied but were all filled with so much flavor. Great catches and the sides were also delicious. I highly recommend people stop and try these people out!”

“Delicious steaks done exactly as we ordered. Pricey but worth it for the food. Just be sure your are not seated near the serving kitchen because there is a lot of foot traffic and you will see the staff eating and drinking (as they should be allowed to). For some this may be bothersome. For us it meant our server was nearby.”

“My first time here at J.Alexander's. So worth the trip from Lafayette. My entire meal has been remarkable. I ordered the red wine blend Parradoxx, which had a slight Pinot Nior flavor to it. I ordered a house salad with Blue Cheese dressing which was rich and full of woodsy flavors. My salad was a big hit with me. Vegetables were crisp and served with beautiful presentation. I ordered the Filet with Berinaise sauce and baked potatoe. It was cooked so perfectly that it was truly a work of art. For dessert I got the chocolate cake. I am not usually a chocolate fan at all but this did not disappoint!! The rich cocoa blended perfectly with the vanilla ice cream. Now for the service... my waiter, Ali, was so good. His knowledge of the menu was very good, but his quiet professionalism was undeniable. He checked all the boxes as to dressings and preparation, but he additionally checked for how and when you wanted everything served. Ali, eyes were constantly scanning to be certain that my meal and needs were being met. Now, I don't know anything about Ali, except that he was young, but he could have been at home in the finest restaurants in Chicago! His attention to detail made my incredible lunch even more spectacular! An incredible meal, prepared exquisitely, with a waiter like Ali! Just absolutely perfect!”

“after hearing people speak about how great k pots were and seeing videos all over my daughter wanted to try it. the other day I saw that hazlet NJ on RT 35 was open so for lunch today i took my son who is 5, my daughter 9, and myself. it was a HUGE WASTE OF 75 DOLLARS. so you have to pick either from the korean BBQ or the hot pot. so my son and I wanted BBQ my daughter wanted both...the server told me if she wanted the soup we ALL had to have the soup which is an extra 5 dollar charge PER PERSON. if it was ONE big bowl of ramen to share id understand but they brought 3 individual bowls like ordering soup from somewhere else, so they basically force everyone at the table to add it if only 1 person wants it so that went to waste. shortly after starting to eat her meal my daughters stomach started bothering her weird... but anyway the food was already cooked so i asked the server if i could have a box to take the food home that we ordered and made, to eat home because my daughter didnt feel well. we didnt over order at all there was 3 of us we ordered a plate of garlic chicken, a plate of garlic shrimp, 1 plate of pork belly which is literally 2 slicices, and 1 plate of beef and a few veggies. if you have been here you know the plates are SMALL. so she said she couldnt give us a box but would have to charge us 13.99 a lb for the food to go...so my question is, WHAT DID I SPEND 75 DOLLARS ON? I didnt order more and cook it to try and take home just my first original order. also the food was bland no sauces or seasoning for the bbq they don't explain anything to you very well so if you've never done it you have no idea how long to cook the vegetables and everything else like potatoes and corn! they would take forever to cook. so they were hard and raw still after almost 35 minutes. this place is a ripoff and kind of a scam. when you go to dinner does EVERYONE HAVE TO ORDER SOUP AND BE CHARGED? NO so the manager came over and being my daughter wasnt feeling well he " only charged me 5 dollars" for food items already paid for. I dont recommend it especially if you have kids. and dont want to be forced to pay for things you don't want, oh and the Ramen we were forced to pay for that my daughter just wanted we weren't allowed to take that home either! its mind boggling. I understand at a buffet people fill plates and dont eat and then want to take mounds of food home but this was literally less than a pint of food for 75 dollars and that's their " lunch" price. I give the place a few months before they close. 0 out of 20 stars!”

“I can’t say enough great things about fresh chef! Their food prep service is absolutely amazing — everything comes in single serving or bulk, it’s super fresh, and the quality is always top-notch. The meals are delicious and really convenient for my busy schedule. The food is incredible and you can tell they put a lot of love & passion into everything they make. The customer service is always excellent too — the staff is so friendly. I also love that they offer à la carte options if you want to just swing by and pick up a quick, tasty lunch. It’s super close to my work, which makes it even better. I seriously love coming here — highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, and someone to help you out when you don’t have extra time or to help you look healthy your life.”

“I went here for my anniversary last night. We arrived at 8 for an 8:15 reservation. They told us to wait at the bar so we ordered a cocktail. there were dishes where we sat. someone picked up the dishes but did not wipe off the bar! She took our drink orders and did not wipe of the bar that was covered with stick stuff likely from other people's drinks. After she brought out drinks, $14 ea, she set them down and still did not wipe off the bar top. so I took an ice cube from my drink. she had not even given us napkins so I had to reach into her area and get one. I used my ice cube and napkin to clean the counter in front of us! We had to remind the hosts as it seemed they forgot us. We were seated and our server was wonderful. We asked for edamame as an appetizer. and we ordered another drink. none of which were under her control. I feel the bar should have its own serving staff as the servers are way too busy with tables. 30 min later I asked about the edamame. She said it still was not ready. I asked how hard can it be to make edamame. 30 seconds in a microwave. she said she gets attitude when she asks why it isn't ready. we still did not have our second cocktail. probably would have had more if they had been more timely! second one I ordered a double gin and tonic. it has no alcohol it in. My friends got a Grey Goose on the rocks and a mojito. all of us commented that the booze was watered down. Our server took the edamame off our bill. This was our 5th time and we have always enjoyed going there for special occasions. after last night we will not be going back food is great but be prepared for poor service...”

“This five-star rating is mainly because of the excellent service I benefited from at the Amazon return counter. The ladies there that day and the lady who assisted me, were professional, polite, pleasant, and patient. In today's world with increasingly demandingly demonstrative people, I applaud the poise and politeness of these ladies who performed their duties proudly.”

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!

We sat outside and had great food, great margaritas, great service and a really nice time. Second time we made reservations, just two couples. Sat inside and had same great experience. Hope they are able to make it in the challenging restaurant business. Really nice people with an authentic Mexican restaurnt and good food.”

“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.”

2.Visiting from KY and came here to try crawfish. I was delicious.
3. I accidently left my Oakly sunglasses on the table by mistake.
Our precious waitress and her awesome manager went and dug through the trash for me and found them. Gave them back to me with whipes to clean them off.
Very much appreciated. It wouldn't be unreasonable in that amount of businesses not to go digging because I was negligent.
THANK YOU!”

The bell pepper, onion and jalapeño were seared perfectly. Then the xiao long boa (steamed buns) 8/10. Buns were perfectly steamed with steaming hot sweet filling. The hot and spicy noodle soup gets a 9/10 only because the dish was not spicy. That aside the soup was perfect, noodles, bok choy, peanuts, and flavor for days. Service was accommodating, perceptive, and welcoming.”
