Battiste & Dupree Cajun Grill

Heartbroken that this gem of a restaurant has closed. Everything was delicious and made with great personal care. It was like going to visit your Uncle or going to a small neighborhood establishment where everyone knows your name. Many even walked there from the surrounding residential streets.... What a loss.

When I arrive here for the first time here he was very rude and said can I help you ! Then I said yes I will like so seafood gumbo …I closed the door and he ask me to go back and check to see if the door was closed and I ensured him that it was so he proceeded yo walk to the door and gonna say I don’t like to assume so I told him he didn’t have because I made sure that the door was closed…and I also stated that I don’t work here I’m just a customer ..so he told me as a matter of fact I don’t want to serve you and told me to leave while I’m pregnant! He have no customer service skills and very rude so I wouldn’t recommend coming here .

Went into this restaurant following the recommendation of a friend, since he knew that I am from the SE and crave Cajun/southern cooking.Not only is the food fantastic—I highly recommend the Thai style wings— but the owners are friendly, likable, and have so many interesting things to share about food, culture, and interesting CLE facts! My GF and I stayed for an extra hour after finishing our meal the other day just to chat with the owner, Junior. This spot is definitely a hidden gem, and we will 100% be back.

Great food! Mr. Jr is wonderful and makes the best rum cake I ever had!

The fish is Delicious. Good zdrinks as well. Check him out. Usually open in the evening.

As a culinary professional I respect the fact that they want to be authentic but it took 2 hours to cook dinner for 2 adults and two teens. There was only one other table and I just couldn’t fathom what took so long! And trying to cash out was a headache. I’m sorry just not worth it….

The catfish and shrimp were absolutely amazing and delicious!! I'll be returning soon.

Jr is a stand guy, he make sure that everyone is taken care of. The food is always fresh and delicious.

Food is made with style and care. Sometimes it's hard to find authentic elegance, but this place has it to great effect. Great place to relax, unwind and feel human. Somehow it's classic Heights and classic New Orleans at the same time.

Loved the food and the atmosphere...Good People

I was excited to support local small business. I enjoyed everything but the fish. I tasted two pieces and they tasted great. I opened two more pieces of fish and it smelled rancid and when I let the staff know, they responded by screaming at me and telling me that I shouldn’t eat the food then say it’s something wrong. The customer service was horrible although the food was great after 2 hours waiting for it. I didn’t appreciate the staff trying to argue over food served to me that was seemingly spoiled.

The Best food ever.... Try the chicken wing my favorite...

My first time going and absolutely last time going. I try to support our local businesses, but never again for this place. I purchased 2 whiting dinners and expected to receive whole pieces of fish and not overcooked fish nuggets! It is literally one piece of fish cut into 4 pieces. I have small hands and the length of the fish is the size of my index finger! For $32, GTFOH! People don’t waste your money.

Food was awesome I have been wanting a poboy since I visited New Orleans 2 years ago. This is a great small restaurant that makes food with passion. Can’t wait to be back in the area to get some more.

I had 2 fried fish dinners1 catfish 1 fried perchFood was little salty than past offering. Sides of rice and beans were authenticToday my father was impressed by the okra gumbo
