I had the pleasure to visit Bellue’s this past week. Food was awesome. We had spare ribs, macaroni and cheese, cornbread dressing with shrimp, corn bread and beans. Very friendly atmosphere. The owner greeted us , gave us some samples and took the time to chat. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back in May to try something else!

Don’t let the location fool you this is hands down one of the best restaurants in Baton Rouge. Food is absolutely delicious and the people are friendly and very much appreciate your business. Try the etoufee over cornbread dressing and the fried catfish and boudin. Wonderful!!

An absolute must visit! Everything is delicious. The customer service fells like you at a friend’s home. They welcome you with open arms and will spoil you to death :-)We had the smoked pork chop plate served with rice dressing, cornbread dressing, greens, and sweet potatoes! Amazing flavors and just the portion size ( a lot).The reds beans and rice! They know what they are doing! Macaroni and greens can’t explain just eat and enjoyFried boudin links perfection…. I can talk about all day but I would miss mentioning the peanut pralines aka peanut candy! Melts in you mouth and complimented with a delightful chew almost crunch!Forget what you thought you knew about banana pudding— simple and good it is an experience all to itself!

Absolutely amazing. I’m born and raised in Louisiana and I can confidently say that it was some of the best food I’ve ever ate. The staff was super generous and even gave us samples of some of their items to give us an idea of what to order. Mr Bellue even came out and gave my son a cookie and some yams. We tried the etoufee, deer sausage poboy, fried boudin, white beans and the oatmeal cookies. Absolutely phenomenal. I will gladly make the hour drive to eat here again and the prices are on the cheaper side so it’s good food and cost friendly.

I’m from Texas and we don’t have hospitality like Bellues. From the moment we walked in all of these people including Bellue himself were absolutely amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful. It was like talking to an old friend. Wish I lived closer to visit more often. The food was outstanding. We had the pork cutlet meal and the fish etoufee meal. So delicious! Thanks Bellue for an awesome experience ?
I had the red beans with sausage and rice. My sides were yams, cornbread dressing, and cornbread. The corn used in the cornbread had just been freshly grounded and made into corn meal. It sent me back home to growing up with my grandmother. The staff were amazing and treated you like you were apart of the family. Such sweet wholesome people. I will be returning back!
You could always tell a good stop by who the regular customers are! We drove into Baton Rouge, and this was our lunch stop. Everyone was a working person coming in for a meal. That's all I need to know in my book. From a mechanic, law enforcement, tow truck driver and a few office girls we knew you'd be well served in this place!

My family of 6 was passing through Baton Rouge on our way to New Orleans for a family vacation. Googled authentic cajun food and this gem popped up. The hospitality was great! We have never been to Lousiana is what I said when ordering, and as soon I said that we were greated with numerous samples my 4 kids could try and they immediately wanted the Éstouffée Supreme, greens, white beans and green beans. Hands down some very delicious food! ? the catfish was perfectly fried, the crawfish was so mmm yummy. My family was completely satisfied! Will return on our way back to New Mexico.
After visiting my son at LSU, my lunch here was the highlight of my trip. The food was seasoned “exactly right” and appropriately moist and very flavorful. The owner learned that I was visiting from Colorado and he gave me a tour of his kitchen. He is a perfectionist about everything he does. He showed me the weight scale they use, for example, to season the various side orders. Everything is seasoned EXACTLY the same every day. If you came here five years ago, it would have been seasoned exactly the same. He has various timers throughout the kitchen. Everything is also cooked the same temp for the same length of time. He showed me his recipe book with many dozens of laminated pages. We even went out back of the restaurant and he showed me his various welding projects. He welded most, if not all, of the various tables in his kitchen so that food prep will be done the same every time. He has some pressurized “cooker” he designed that makes sure everything is prepared to extremely exacting standards. The restaurant itself is older and there is nothing that can be remotely considered “fancy” — leading to its charm — but I’m telling you everything within the walls of his restaurant has been very thoughtfully designed and crafted by a genius of a man when it comes to the “engineering” of food preparation. All this leads to one thing — decades of loving attention to his fantastic and authentic Cajun food. Wirt, the owner, was interested in hearing my son describe his coursework at LSU. He was interested in hearing about me and about my life in Colorado. We briefly met his lovely wife. We sat in the employee break room and swapped stories. He made us feel like VIP’s — though we definitely are not — but I can tell he just enjoys people. I told him he could easily charge 50% or more than he does — he acknowledged he easily could — but money is not what motivates him. He should live for a long time as he has found his passion in life and he seems to completely enjoy his vocation and craft. Thank you sir for showing us around. I will be back next time I visit Baton Rouge.
