“What a great stop on our way back to Dallas from New Orleans. Someone once told me you get the best crawfish in Baton Rouge and they were right! Walking in the room smelled of flavor and the woman who attended us was very nice and patient with us new timers. Won’t be a one time stop either. Coming back just for this spot. Thank you“

“Highly recommend. We go here every time our mom comes to town, because she loves their muffuletta. We buy the big one, and she eats it every day for 4 days. It’s very popular so the wait for food to be ready is a little long at times, but it’s definitely worth the wait.“

“Absolutely Delicious overstuffed Po boys!!!“

“Awesome people and are willing to go the extra mile to make a customer happy. We picked up 15lbs of live crawfish at 12:30 in the afternoon and got home to clean them and prepare for a boil at 430. We noticed a few were dead and called and they let us know to wait and see if they wake up from being on ice. When we went to boil at 3 we noticed even more not moving and potentially dead. We brought them back and they kindly swapped it out for new crawfish. I appreciate them taking the time to show us a crawfish after being on ice and being kind to us and replacing them! Crawfish were amazing in size!“

“Best chicken in town“

“Went for Father’s Day dinner and had a delicious cocktail (rose bowl) and the best chicken and waffles I have ever had!“

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

“Stopped in with my 3yo after visiting the museum. Got the mixed plate and everything was hot, the fish filets were huge and cooked perfectly. Perfect portions we were able to share and have leftovers to snack on later. My only complaint was how small the establishment is, it's standing room only and seating is limited. Not uncommon for downtown establishments, everything else was exceptional.“

“A local secret. Great poboys, fried seafood, and in my opinion, the best hot wings in town.“

“today was my first time eating here. I ordered the boiled meat plate for my son and I. it was so good and tender and just the right amount of spice. my son asked him to stop and get him more on my way home. I definitely will be back.“

“We are from Montana and had the aligator, cornbread and seafood pasta. Everything was fantastic. Well worth the stop. Thanks so much“

“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.“

“1.Clean establishmen, excellent food and service.
2.Visiting from KY and came here to try crawfish. I was delicious.
3. I accidently left my Oakly sunglasses on the table by mistake.
Our precious waitress and her awesome manager went and dug through the trash for me and found them. Gave them back to me with whipes to clean them off.
Very much appreciated. It wouldn't be unreasonable in that amount of businesses not to go digging because I was negligent.
THANK YOU!“

“We really enjoyed our experience our waitress was great her was Christian Moore“

“The food was amazing. Popcorn shrimp and shrimp fried rice both come generously proportioned. The fish strips nearly fall apart in your mouth, lightly battered, crisp outside n jucy center.. so delicious, you could say they are cooked to perfection. However, the actual size of each strip the fish is cut into...rather small. Nonetheless still 100% pleased with my purcase, if i HAD to come up with a food related aspect to complain about, the size of the catfish strips is honestly all I could come up with. On the other hand if we are speaking on service, the cashier wasn't of much help, After voicing outloud it was my first time trying Johns i expected some sort of suggestion or recommendation however I barely even got a response from the young lady whom looked up from her phone only for a brief moment which is when she handed me a print out version of the menu I was point at when I was attempting to ask a question about the menu.. but all together I was pleased and will be coming back!!

Parking: small, tight parking when busy

Kid-friendliness: Booth setting.“

“Shout out to BRQ! We had a wonderful meal recently! The entire table raved about their food and the staff was efficient and friendly. Thanks for the fantastic service, Mariah!! I rate it a 10/10!“

“Best In Baton Rouge Hands Down!!!!!!!“

“Dinner at Eliza in Baton Rouge felt like stepping into a quietly elegant celebration of Southern hospitality—warm, thoughtful, and deeply delicious from start to finish.

We began with drinks that set the tone beautifully: a Watermelon Gimlet—fresh, fragrant, and perfectly balanced—and a crisp, subtly spiced Basil Cucumber Mule Mocktail in a copper mug. Later in the evening, a smooth Espresso Martini brought just the right note of indulgence.

The Soft Shell Crab Gnocchi was a standout—perfectly crisp and golden, served over pillowy gnocchi with Lake Pontchartrain blue crab, brightened by pesto cream and sauce vierge.

The Chicken Paillard was equally lovely: tender, pan-sautéed chicken with crispy potatoes, Creole mustard sauce, and a peppery arugula salad that brought everything into balance.

Dessert was a perfect finale: a light, tangy Lemon Ice Box Pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and just a touch of hazelnut syrup—simple and satisfying.

The setting itself is a study in understated charm—refined but never fussy. Polished wood tables, bentwood chairs, and candlelight create a soft, intimate glow, while the walls are anchored by a striking print from John James Audubon’s Birds of America—specifically, Plate 217: Louisiana Heron. This exquisite illustration—delicate in form and poised in presence—is more than décor; it echoes the restaurant’s spirit: graceful, locally rooted, and quietly elevated.

And while the food and ambiance were exceptional, it was Amya’s warm, gracious service that truly made the experience memorable. She was intuitive and kind, attentive without ever interrupting the rhythm of the evening—a rare and welcome gift.

Eliza is the kind of place that understands what makes a meal linger in your memory: not just what’s on the plate, but how it’s served, where it’s enjoyed, and the thoughtful touch behind it all.

We can’t wait to return.“

“My husband and I have been going to Stabs in Central for many years. We normally go on Sunday for brunch (because of babysitter availability) but we were able to go for dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. When I tell you the flat iron steak we had was 100% PERFECT, I’m not exaggerating. Temp was perfect. Cut was perfect. Flavor was perfect. French onion soup was perfect. Thank you, David, Kori and everyone else who played a hand in our most recent experience. Y’all are amazing!!“

“Great Day I Can't Eat Seafood Or Pork But I was Able To Try The Beef Fried Rice Don't Forget To Add An Egg And It was Absolutely Delicious 😋🤤 Thank You Moms Seafood Tamikka Rose Shorter 🌹 Happy BLESSED NEW YEARS 🎊🎊 BLESSINGS“

“I love tims wraps but today all the ingredients were left on the out side instead of in the wrap. I had to eat it like a salad.“

“My husband and I were kid free this weekend and yesterday we decided to just get in the car and take a ride and find a place to eat lunch. We stopped and this place and will definitely drive two hours again to go back! The food was amazing and the service was top notch! 5 stars!“

“The Shrimp Salad...Was Outstanding...“

“If you have not tried this place, I 10/10 recommend! We were looking for something quick but still good to grab & take home & this met all expectations. We got the voodoo fries & philly steak poboy. The voodoo fries are a must & the philly steak poboy is probably the best i’ve ever tasted! The staff & owner are all kind & welcoming. We will most definitely be back!“

“Everything was Amazing. My family from California enjoyed the atmosphere, and food.“
