Cajun Restaurants in Baton Rouge, LA

“Willie’s has been a favorite since they were a little hole in the wall in Industiplex. I was so disappointed Friday to order crawfish and get 3 pounds of tiny crawfish that peeled and tasted like they had been boiled the day before and reheated. Plus when the crawfish were gone there were enough tiny claws to cover the bottom of the tray. Come on guys, you can do better! Fried cheese logs are no longer logs. They have shrunk in size but not price. Really disappointing…new management? Not sure but won’t go back for crawfish, that’s for sure!“

“Such amazing hospitality. The whole staff welcomed us in and the food was amazing. Impressive for sure! Cozy and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Small place that packs a big punch. The Staff is all smiles. I left FULL and happy: 😊 Mr. Bellue has got to be one of the friendliest men I’ve ever met and eager to talk about the food and how he keeps it consistent! 5 stars from me!“

“What a fabulous place to enjoy lunch! My sister and I shared the crab cake sandwich and the Creamy Tasso Pasta with blackened shrimp. Every bite was excellent! We also had the soup of the day - Butternut squash with crab - also so delicious & full of crabmeat!“

“Recommend literally everything on the menu! Nothing on the menu that isn’t fantastic.“

“Food was very delicious. Great service and friendly staff.“

“Outstanding in all aspects! We got to town a little late & stopped in just for a lite bite & drinks. The oysters, black and blue tips & wine were so wonderful we returned after business the next night to try more. Round 2 included the Feta Whipped Brussels, Creole French dip & Duck + Butter beans. Again everything was fantastic!! Thank you to Brian, Sadie, Seth & everyone for the wonderful service & evening 🍷🥂😘“

“I just want to share how amazing you all's food is! We just had lunch at our office and a rep ordered plate lunches from you all and it was delicious. I feel like I was back home at my parents in country. Gravy and rice was the best and meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Will visit soon.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“We went to Juban’s last night for the first time, and we will 100% be back. Juban’s exceeded all expectations with its impeccable service, exquisite presentation, and flavors that left a lasting impression. We ordered for appetizer the Blue Crab Lollipops and Crawfish Wontons, and for main the Lobster 2 Ways and Redfish Adrian. Everything was spot on! It was my wife’s Birthday so they made her feel special with the Praline bread pudding to end the night. The restaurant effortlessly blends sophistication with comfort, making it the perfect spot for an upscale dining experience.“

“I have to say yall have the best customer service ♡ we drove an hour to get both cracklins and some crawfish pies. Our ETA was a few minutes before closing time & I was able to place my order over the phone. Customer Service & Food Quality is hands down 5++ Stars!!!“

“Wonderful service and great food!!! I did a catering order for lunch to honor our teachers. Everyone who works at this location is a delight! I look forward to doing future business and school fundraisers with them! I also order Gumbo from them every year for a Christmas Eve party I host! They never disappoint!!“

“Love the inside, very chill! My husband had the boudin burger and it was fire!!! We also had the crawfish queso, also fire! A must when you visit Baton Rouge!!!!“

“First time here, my server Conor was exceptional, I have try diferent chargrilled oyster in diferent restaurant like chimes, Felix's other ones, and i ask if they have diferent flavors i wanna try something diferent and they make me something off the menú and they didn't disappoint they where amazing.

“We catered a large order for a Christmas Party and it was a hit! The food is way better than most of the other locations and packaged so well! You can definitely tell they put thought and care into their food. Thanks again for another great experience!“

“Went to Cork's for Mother's Day supper...YUM 😋! It was the best tasting, crispy, freshest fried seafood around! The fries were hot, crisp and awesome, too! Cork's is right up there with top notch restaurants, but at much less the cost. The staff was extremely friendly and the venue was neat.We will be back...OFTEN! ♥“

“Amazing, oysters, steak, fish, bread, I could go on and on…“

“Our friends from Baton Rouge brought us an Australian couple to Parrain for some authentic Cajun seafood. I'd been recommended to try catfish and it did not disappoint. So fresh and tasty, accompanied with shrimp, that was also crispy and fried to perfection. My husband had the New Orleans BBQ shrimp, but was unsure of the spicyness of the sauce, so a sample was brought out for him to try before he ordered, he said it was delicious.“

“Great food, great service, and something on the menu that everyone will like, even picky eaters!“

“My friend and I arrived 20 mins til closing and they were out of most menu items, but we're pretty easy going and just really wanted to try some good, quick Cajun food on our trip through the state. This place had just that! We were greeted by friendly staff, even as they cleaned and prepared to go home. They didn't mind us coming in late and helped us decide, since we are not familiar with the area or the menu. The food was delicious and affordable (I am currently trying to deconstruct the potato salad, in order to figure out the recipe). Generous portions, balanced flavor and right amount of spice for this wayward wanderer. What the establishment lacked in atmosphere, it made up for in service, flavor, and efficiency. I would definitely return if the opportunity presents itself.“

“everything is always good quality that's my first stop coming from Texas oh my God“

“Excellent food and even greater service!“

“Une expérience extra ordinaire ! Je recommande les huîtres chaudes 👌🏼 Des plats typiques de Louisiane à découvrir sans modération ! Un 🫶🏼 pour le service.“

“Service was top notch and the food was excellent! For someone who is from out of state, this place curbed my seafood hunkering!“

“I come here every week and get excellent service. Today I am being served by Aleah and Renee and am getting my usual great service and camaraderie! They are great!“

“My family and I found this place randomly. We were craving crawfish, and we could smell how delicious it was while driving by. We stopped by chance and tried it out. 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!“

“I have never actually eaten food that fulfills my soul. This place is definitely the definition of SOUL FOOD!!! The amazing people that cook these dinners are truly full genuine spirits and those spirits are felt in their cooking. I use my Louisiana hot sauce on EVERYTHING and with this food here I don't even use a dash! If I could give millions stars for service, atmosphere,and food I would!

My family and I will definitely be regular customers. I'm grateful for great cooking like this?“

“Every time I go there the food is delicious and the service is impeccable.“

“Highly highly recommend this place!! Came across it while searching for things to do in Louisiana and this place didn't disappoint!! It's affordable, too! Will definitely come back if I have the chance!!“

“Stopped at the Rouge Rabbit for a quick bite to eat on our way home from Alabama to St Louis. Excellent food, great atmosphere and super friendly people.“

“Been wanting to go there, kicking myself for waiting so long to go. Had lunch with a long time friend. Great food, excellent service, nice atmosphere. She had the grilled redfish and I had the pot roast. I swapped potatoes for red beans. It was fork tender and delicious. Their house dressing is a citrus vinegarette that I ♡.“

“The food was amazing. We enjoyed the Sunday brunch menu which included the French onion soup, fried oyster salad and for entrees we ate the New Orleans Crab Cake Benedict and Short Rib Benedict. 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.“

“University Seafood has the best live crawfish in town, quality is consistent and they’re clean!!“

“Montalbano’s went above and beyond to make our company crawfish boil the best one yet! Highly recommend for all of your catering needs!“

“No long waiting, the food was hot on arrival, service was excellent! Staff was awesome!!“

“Love Mason’s! The food, owners and staff are all awesome!“

“We had an incredible experience at Portobello’s Grill . The staff and food were incredible. They helped accommodate my daughter’s birthday party and without a doubt, met her expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to hold an event.“

“First time eating here I think... I ordered a double cheeseburger meal. Burger was so big I couldn't eat but half! Fries were hot and fresh. But the ultimate win was mayo on top AND bottom bun..now even Burger King doesn't do that!!!! I'll definitely be back!“

“We ordered boiled crawfish on Good Friday and they were excellent!! Great customer service as well as seasoned perfectly! Thank y’all for doing a great job!“

“The BEST HANDS DOWN!!! Corn potatoes and crawfish not over seasoned I’m mean 🤩 perfection“

“First time shopping there. Stopped in to buy crawfish. They were the best I have had that was NOT TOO HOT. They went well with the beer. We love them and will be shopping there again.

Telling it like it IS 😀

“We had an excellent experience at Juicys! The char broiled oysters are probably the best I’ve ever had. We also had a seafood bag with generous portions that was tasty as well. Service was excellent and we’ll definitely be back! No tax on tips! Vote Trump! 💥🇺🇸“

“The food is consistently pretty good, but the servers are consistently pretty average (with a high turnover rate). Plus, they always put the food on the smallest plates they can possibly fit it on so when you try to eat, it's hard to keep the food from falling off. I'm not sure whether it's to make the portions look bigger or so they can fit more in the dishwasher, but it's annoying.“

“The staff was really friendly and the food was excellent. Ordered it to go and the wait was not long at all. Definitely recommend them when you're in Baton Rouge!!!“

“I tried this for the first time today. Fried catfish platter was outstanding — large portion, well seasoned, freshly fried and hot!!! Same great quality as the owners other restaurants — Couyons!!!“

“The food was DELICIOUS and the service was great. They were so kind. We will definitely be back! Thank you!“

“I would recommend the spot to all my friends and family everyone was friendly and respectful“

“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!“
