New American Restaurants in Baton Rouge, LA

“We had our first visit to Cocha this evening for my dad’s birthday and it was incredible. Our server was Parker and he was absolutely excellent, he made the experience perfect for us. There were multiple vegan options and our food was top notch.“

“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!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious and fresh!
The onion strings are amazing and crispy, The corn nuggets are sweet and crispy, the curly fries are almost like Arby's, and the burger patty was cooked fresh and the ingredients looked and tasted fresh. It's a hidden gem and I'm glad I found it!
You get alot of food for a good value and i would definitely recommend this place if you love a good burger that's not expensive.“

“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!“

“Delicious!!

High quality steak, cooked right, seasoned well, and at a solid price. We had two cocktails each, an appetizer of tamales, which were awesome, two wedge salads, and shared a 2 lb porterhouse. She was a big’n.

Dinner also came with fried bread that was ridiculously good. The total bill was $175, which feels like it would be closer to $300 at most other steakhouses. The vibe was chill too. We sat near the bar and had a great time. Good wine selections and prices.

This place is awesome.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious and big servings!“

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

“Wow! First time ever at J. Alexander’s and hands down the best steak I’ve had. My family and I came in for a pre Valentines Day dinner. We had the NY Strip, Sirloin & fries, Chicken tenders & the Prime Rib with smashed potatoes…so delicious. Server was nice. But the food and presentation was exquisite. We will be back!!

Update: Came back again and had another wonderful experience! Tried the Palermo Chicken this time. It was AMAZING!!! Super sweet server and great tasting steaks and chicken!“

“We stayed at the hotel a couple of months ago when we dropped off our oldest at school. We decided to grab a late night bite and some drinks before going back to the room and let me tell you it didnt disapoint!!!! The red fish plate was delicious!! The bartender was very friendly and even made me a lavender drink bc I had told him I loved anything lavender. I have been craving the red fish ever since we came back to Dallas and want to go back to just for that specific plate. Everything was good the fish, mashed potatoes the only thing was the asparagus needed a little more seasoning but that was about it. I highly recommend this little place“
