New American Restaurants in Baton Rouge, LA

“I came here after running the Louisiana marathon so ordered a ton of food. The Korean tofu is the best tofu I’ve ever had in my life - a must-try if you like spicy food. Indonesian noodles were excellent. I got the lasagna to go and it looks beautiful. I was not expecting to find vegan lasagna in Baton Rouge! Staff is great and it’s a nice sit-down spot. Definitely recommend! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-19“

“We loved the Hwy 61 stuffed burger and Jamaican wings, loaded fries were yummy too. The Voodoo Punch is sooooo refreshing!“

“We went for good seafood and the best crawfish we heard. When we walk in we has awesome service. Our server Aundria E was the best. She took care of us from drinks and helped explain the menu!! Food was hot and good. Great place and definitely number 1 server!! We will be back!!“

“SoLou has great food and awesome service! Safiya was the best server ever and took time to really talk to us. She made great recommendations and we were super impressed. Overall great experience eating here for the first time while visiting for the weekend!“

“Say with Essen great service“

“I throughly enjoyed my salad for lunch. It was fresh and delicious. I loved the atmosphere and service was timely and friendly. I will be back!!“

“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 🍷🥂😘“

“What a fun night for our anniversary! Great food and ambience!“

“I don’t know if anyone reads anything from this site but I wanted to post a rave for the Baton Rouge location. My mom was transferred into hospice care on the day I ate at your restaurant. It was a horrible day until the nicest server/waitress I have ever had sat us down. She couldn’t have known what we were going through or how much she brightened our day. She was pregnant, I know that. Otherwise I don’t remember her name. One of those days I guess. She just had this light about her and when she smiled Everything seemed a little better. I think God put her there at that moment. Hopefully she will be there the next time we go. But if not I was posting this to tell her thankyou for being you. And good luck with your pregnancy. You are going to be an awesome mom. You are full of light and love. May God bless you abundantly.“

“Everything about Doe's is amazing! We were celebrating our anniversary, and Doe's is our go-to place for a celebration — anniversary, birthday, promotion. The hostess wished us “Happy Anniversary” when we arrived, and so did Chris, our waiter. Every bite was perfect —tamales, salad, ribeye, potatoes, fried rolls, and white chocolate bread pudding. I would love to have whoever makes the tamales and chili to teach me how to make both dishes — I would pay good money to learn their secret. We will be back! Restaurant Week is coming up at the end of January! See you then!“

“Unfortunately my fries were almost room temp when my food came, but dang those burgers more than compensate! I got the double and with two THICC patties, the amount of meat you get for your money is amazing! If you haven't yet, I definetly recommend checking this place out.“

“Absolutely delicious and big servings!“

“Jay Alexanders in Baton Rouge is one of those places to go if you want a complete dining experience. The service and the food has ALWAYS been EXCELLENT and tonight was no exception. They were busy and we had a short wait for an accessible table ( in a wheelchair) but again, it was worth it. Highly recommend this restaurant. Chloe and Madison were OUTSTANDING. Thank you again for a wonderful dining experience!“

“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.“

“The chicken and ribs are good, but the corn grits are the 💣“

“I have eaten here for both breakfast and dinner and both times, the food was amazing. The breakfast buffet is huge and the chefs will make you an amazing omelette.

I went in for dinner tonight and ordered the shrimp, wedge salad and blackened red fish. It was awesome.

Special touch was the lively atmosphere. They had a great singer who was extremely talented and brought a lot of people together.

I was really glad I stayed close to the hotel today for dinner.“
