“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

Beyond doubt, the BEST in the entire Baton Rouge area. They are delicious and precisely cooked and spiced. We drive from Gonzales weekly to get their terrific crawfish.

“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!“

“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.“

“Thank you Drusilla Place catering for making our Sweetheart luncheon a success.

You will not be disappointed they can accommodate large and small groups. accommodate small or large groups.“

“Stopped into Sammy's Grill for lunch and had the Thin fried catfish and white beans ( Substituted the white bean with a side of red beans and rice). It was enough for two people. Delicious food and great service. Another go to spot in Baton Rouge.“

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 🍷🥂😘“

“The ramen is top notch. This is not the first time I've wanted to just fill up on the broth without worrying about the solid ingredients which are delectable.“

“Accommodated out last minute family gathering. We had private dining, and our servers were amazing. I recommend the ribeye, the bigger the better. I added sautéed mushrooms and book s, cause why not. Everything was amazing“

“My first time here at J.Alexander's. So worth the trip from Lafayette. My entire meal has been remarkable. I ordered the red wine blend Parradoxx, which had a slight Pinot Nior flavor to it. I ordered a house salad with Blue Cheese dressing which was rich and full of woodsy flavors. My salad was a big hit with me. Vegetables were crisp and served with beautiful presentation. I ordered the Filet with Berinaise sauce and baked potatoe. It was cooked so perfectly that it was truly a work of art. For dessert I got the chocolate cake. I am not usually a chocolate fan at all but this did not disappoint!! The rich cocoa blended perfectly with the vanilla ice cream. Now for the service... my waiter, Ali, was so good. His knowledge of the menu was very good, but his quiet professionalism was undeniable. He checked all the boxes as to dressings and preparation, but he additionally checked for how and when you wanted everything served. Ali, eyes were constantly scanning to be certain that my meal and needs were being met. Now, I don't know anything about Ali, except that he was young, but he could have been at home in the finest restaurants in Chicago! His attention to detail made my incredible lunch even more spectacular! An incredible meal, prepared exquisitely, with a waiter like Ali! Just absolutely perfect!“

“Stopped at the Rouge Rabbit for a quick bite to eat on our way home from Alabama to St Louis. Excellent food, great atmosphere and super friendly people.“

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

“Back in the day, you went to Bernard's or Browns. Bernard's has been closed for years. Browns still offers chicken box, shrimp box or fish box, just like back in the day. I bought a shrimp and fish box. Still fresh and delicious! Love what they did inside. Very comfy and casual. Love this place!“

“This place is incredible and once the weather cools the outside seating will be perfect! 10 out of 10“

“Food was good - manager visited me which is a rarity in the Louisiana market for some reason- restaurant was very clean just dust in the ceiling vents- but my bartender was the highlight. I will go back just to sit and chat with Amber. As a regional manager for a restaurant group, I was impressed all around with her attentiveness that close to close. As a younger female no one ever speaks to me besides to take my order and she got to know me and made me feel welcome! She’s sweet as can be, I wish her all the best!“

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