“You can’t beat the food at the Griffin grill“

“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mike Anderson’s and their incredible staff for hosting a wonderful Christmas party at their Prairieville location last night. My team and I had an amazing time, and I want to give special recognition to our waitress, Molly, for her outstanding service. A big thank you to Thomas and Desiree, who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for many years, for taking such great care of us and providing the delicious appetizers—they were a perfect touch to the evening. You truly made my company feel welcomed and special, and we deeply appreciate everything you do for the community. The food was phenomenal, and the entire evening was a memorable experience. Thank you again for making it so special!“

“Love Mason’s! The food, owners and staff are all awesome!“

“Fast & friendly service. The food is delicious!! We have gone through the drive-through once a week for the last four weeks, and now weekly have to have our chicken salad chick fix. The Pimento cheese is awesome. Also the chicken salad with the cranberries. The broccoli salad is great, and the grape salad is wonderful. It also feels like a healthy meal. This has quickly become my favorite place.“

“Tasty food pleasent place“

“I don’t think the drive thru is to long they charge for center cut ribs but you get regular ribs and at a $3.00 morel charge this should be good no matter what. Not happy about it.“

“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.“

“I would highly recommend Bullfish Bar & Kitchen! We had the beef oxtail with white rice and cabbage. It was delicious. Very well seasoned. Our service was great. The owner even came check on us to see how was our experience. I will definitely be going again.“

“Double house salad with blackened chicken… Enough said!“

“10/10“

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

“After hearing about the fresh chef kitchen through a mutual friend, I could finally drive up and get some of the prepped meals to try. The food is the best! Ideally, they are put together and significant portions. Suppose you are into portion control and local. I highly recommend these guys. I will make the drive up every time I can get there!“

“If you want some great deals on seafood, you need to go there. If you love good boiled food, you need to go there, unless you don't do spicy, otherwise give them a try. They also sale live crawfish. They are only takeout, so if you are looking for a place with good seafood that you can pick up and go home, try NOLA Cajun Seafood.“

“Only place I will eat southern food! So close to home cooking I was raised on 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“We went on a busy Sunday morning. It did not take long to seat us. The waitress was lovely and cheerful. Super friendly. The food was delicious!“

“Food and service was excellent.“

“Locals say it’s not the same. Great food to me“

“I love their food and their gift store. Have a lot of old antiques. Also cute and cool stuff in the gift store. I love looking at so many new things. Also the old antiques and decorations in the restaurant. I recommend coming here and for anyone to come here to eat and go to their gift store.“

“A little pricey, but good food and portion sizes. The Grits and Grillade platter was filling and flavorful. Bathrooms are decorated with a rural, slapdash decor which was somewhat unsettling. Location of the restaurant is set back from the road in a strip mall so it can be slightly difficult to locate.“

“para mí la calidad de mucho guisados y ensaladas y postres y muy caliente y fresco y la atención muy excelente y sobre todo la limpieza y los felicito a todos el personal que Dios les bendiga siempre 🙏“
