“We used The Jambalaya Shoppe for our sorority Parents Weekend and absolutely will be having them cater again! Mrs. Fontenot, the owner, was extremely helpful throughout the booking/delivering process and even made sure I was fed when I just came to drop the check off. Everyone raved about their jambalaya and I was extremely appreciative of how friendly Mrs. Fontenot and her entire staff was. Could not recommend enough!!! (The pastalaya and jambalaya are to die for!)“

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

“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful staff“

“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!“

“April 24, 2026. It had been almost 7 years since I last had Ronnie's smoked boudin. I think about it almost weekly. We live up in GA now and can't get boudin up here. I called and asked if they ship. They said they do, and I knew it was time to order. I placed an order for 15 lbs of smoked boudin. The shipping was $118, the boudin $159. 100% worth it. She took my order, and the next day they sent me the shipping info. It came the following day. The boudin was shipped frozen, and in a styrofoam cooler, with some dry ice. Packed into a secure box. When I unpacked it, the boudin was still frozen solid. I let a pack defrost overnight and cooked it today for a late lunch. The house smelled heavenly while it was heating up. It tasted marvelous, and I look forward to eating a pack each month. Thank you for making it completely easy to get my fix.“

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

“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.“

“So tonight I ordered again from Jasmines On the Bayou a Shrimp PoBoy and Seafood Platter. The Oysters were BURNT...all small FOUR of them...so crunchy a guest said the could have broken their teeth?!? I ordered the Shrimp PoBoy and only got a HALF! They said they would refund me, well DoorDash did...not sure why they did and not Jasmines. , waiting on an answer from them BURNT FOOD IS UNACCEPTABLE...there was no way they didn't know...really!!?? Especially if it can harm someone? What else was there was good, but it was disappointing it wasn't right, again! Oh, a good thing, the Shrimp and Corn soup had shrimp in it this time, just too creamy for my taste. Not used to cream in it. Another bad thing is Jasmines doesn't have an email to respond before posting a review. Enjoy the pics.“

“Stopped by on our way to New Orleans. Great quality and flavor! 🤤“

“Stopped in with my wife for a pre-departure breakfast. The setting is very comfortable and appealing for a small café.

We were immediately welcomed by Stephanie, who also served as our waitress. She took care of bringing us some water and mentioned she’d be right back to take our breakfast order.

My wife ordered the Beignets, and I decided to put together an à la carte breakfast. I chose the Andouille sausage, two eggs, and a half order of biscuits and gravy.

The beignets arrived hot, fluffy, and fresh. The andouille sausage was good, though not quite as spicy as I’m accustomed to. The eggs were cooked as requested, and the biscuits and gravy were delicious. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery, and the gravy was perfectly seasoned with a rich flavor and a generous amount of sausage pieces mixed in.

We felt the pricing was very reasonable for this area of the French Quarter, and we would definitely return.“

“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!!“

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

“We had brunch at Mason’s today. Food was amazing. Service was perfect. Highly recommend!“

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

“Love the Jambalaya Shoppe. Can always come here and get full for cheap. They are heavy handed with the servings. You will get more than your money worth. And the service is always the best. You will be greeted and they will go over the menu with you. And they will offer you a sample just to make sure you want the food.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful staff“

“Yesss, great vibes , chill Mode nice r&b music , great waitress that’s gonna be my spot every time I go , we went on a Sunday, food was fabulous“

“The food was so good! Great price, and very friendly and clean! Will 100% be going back“

“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!!!“

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

“Waiter was keeping our drinks full, and table clean! Great individual guy, quick to answer questions about the place as it was my first time there.
Food was an 8.5 out of 10, great experience for family or alone. That's why im giving this a 5 star..“

“Being from Florida this was my first time experiencing the restaurant. It was recommended by friends and I must say it was a great experience. My family and I had a variety of dishes. I had the boudin egg roll which were delicious along with the Shrimp jambalaya.My wife had the chicken club and red beans and rice which are outstanding. My mother had the catfish and shrimp plate which is huge portions. The adult drinks are great with a huge selection. If I get the opportunity to visit I will definitely make a stop back. Love the atmosphere during football season although I’m not a Saints fan lol. But highly recommend giving this place a try.“

“Man just picked up 15lbs of boiled crawfish they were hot juicy and flavorful! Also had the perfect spice, the corn was not great the potatoes and corn needed seasoning! Besides that 10/10 recommend.“

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

“I had to edit my comment because I reviewed the wrong place. My bad for that! I confused you all with Cajun Seafood in New Orleans. The crawfish and shrimp are so good. I don’t know what seasonings they’re using but it’s by far some of the best tasting shrimp and crawfish I’ve had in Baton Rouge“

“The food is great!!! Great hospitality!!!“

“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!“

“My mother and I went to this place not knowing anything of it. Good thing we went, the water was so fun and nice, the food was delicious, and there was a good atmosphere. There wasn’t a lot of people, but it is new so maybe people don’t know about it. The restaurant is connected to the Origen hotel which is really convenient.“

“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!“

“I recommend Everything about this Mike Anderson’s, from the superb service to the food and atmosphere. The gentleman at the front is so friendly and genuine, and NICOLE is the best waitress I’ve ever had, she’s a doll!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“
