The shrimp platter was great. The Philly egg rolls & fried catfish were amazing. The pasta was really good but it needed a little salt. The wings were also good and made up for the lack of salt, but the bigger the wing the longer it takes to cook. The biggest wing in my batch was raw when I bit into it. The restaurant also had really good service and a nice dining area if you wanted to sit inside.

Foos is always cold, they always have a bad attitude and always take more than 50 minutes to prepare the food and always forget something when you order it. They choose and favoritize customers. Terrible service

I tried to order ahead on the clover app but the Friday Daily special was not an option. Specials for Monday - Wednesday were the only ones Iisted. So i then tried calling and no one answered after a very long time. I arrived and one customer was walking to car empty handed (presumably just ordered), i could see one inside waiting and one entering ahead of me. She wasnt ready to order so i went ahead. The cashier hit the buttons so quickly i didnt get to register my phone number to my purchase. I then asked to go back so i could get a receipt. She printed one and i noticed the special listed at 21.50 on there but $20 online. She said the prices have changed. I would advise not to promote it currently at one rate if it's not current. She told me 2 mins wait time. I went to the car to wait 15 minutes and then placed a second order. This time she allowed me to enter my phone number then i noticed this "special" was also being sold at a different price from what was advertised. The food never disappoints. We did one seafood pasta with fried fish & one with chicken wings ($23.50). - Update they reached out via social media and fixed the situation. I appreciate them for doing so. The fish was fried nice and soft not too crunchy. Very large portions. The wings were good flavor. They honey butter croissant is always so soft. The pasta was a great portion size and flavors were AWESOME!

Food was decent. It came out fresh and hot. The specials made it worth it. I only gave fewer stars because their drink inventory was depleted so the drink we got wasn't great. However, service was amazing. Our host and server was quick, proactive, and knowledgeable.

The food and service were spectacular. However, the atmosphere after 10 p.m. changes into a club/ event atmosphere, which isn't my preferred atmosphere. They had to check my ID for me to purchase a to-go order, and I had to listen to music as if I were in a club while I waited. This is an easy fix. In the future, I can visit before 10 p.m. I didn't see any communication about the atmosphere change or the menu change on the website, so I was taken aback. However, the food was good, and the staff was so professional and sweet, with the most beautiful smiles.

This was my first time trying this restaurant, but my experience wasn’t that great. The egg rolls were soggy and greasy; not edible. The customer service was ok until I mentioned I was missing sweet chili sauce and my drinks. The cashier/waiter seemed to have an attitude that I asked for the items so I showed him the receipt to prove I paid for them.

This place is not as clean as it could be. My son n law had a mosquito in his food. The wait is EXTREMELY LONG!! They were short of staff but it’s still a business. The bathroom is not clean and it has a really foil smell. I will not be going back to this location.
Whenever I'm in Baton Rouge, my first stop is always the Bayou Effect - it's an absolute must-visit! I can't resist their refreshing lemonade and the delectable range of eggrolls they offer. Personally, I'm torn between the Philly and Bayou eggrolls; both are equally mouthwatering. Yes, the wait can be a bit lengthy, but it's clear that everything is made to order, ensuring top-notch quality. The eggrolls are generously sized and perfect for sharing, although I've managed to tackle one on my own. If you find yourself in Baton Rouge, don't miss out on the Bayou Effect - it's an experience you won't want to skip!

The heavy set lady at the front counter is very unprofessional, goofy, and not very knowledgeable of the entire business/menu. Seems as if she purposely pronounces names wrong and just laugh as she said AND I QUOTE "I remember guys names not female names well". Umm ok. Next, they forgot my sides so I had to turn around and go back in and she blatantly laughed then took my order to the back. A young man did give me a free lemonade for the wait, thanks to him and he also grabbed me ranch when I asked her due to her telling me "no we don't have ranch just mayonnaise" as she laughed away. Now to the food, I had red beans and rice with mac & cheese and loaded potatoes and 5 chicken wings. The red beans were spicy and had no meat just BONES...no taste just spice and also the portion was insane for the price. The macaroni and the loaded potato was clearly slapped in a container with sprinkled cheese on top then melted in the microwave. Absolutely NO TASTE just the taste of cheddar cheese. The wings were good as well as the corn bread. Will I come back? NO! Do I recommend this place? HECK NO.

the food I've had has been good. what I don't like is that to go orders are 15-20 minutes behind when not a soul is in the restaurant. Also why have the option to PAY and order ahead, but when I get there you're out of the food I ordered SPECIFICALLY and then try to substitute it with something else I have no desire for without asking me first? instead of calling me ahead of time to tell me you were out. Could have 1. saved me a trip, 2. saved 20 extra minutes waiting on HALF my order that was suppose to be ready at 7:30. This is the second time this has happened. ridiculous. Tuesday. I ordered both specials. you were out of Philly egg rolls and put bayou rolls on my plate. it was disgusting.
