Badeaux's Seafood & Grill

Owners/Chef must have changed. Quality of food has gone downhill from 5 years ago.

Y'all, this is in the Holiday Inn....not sweating it, but the atmosphere is pitiful, and the service is even less so. It is so confusing when you walk in because there is no "seat yourself or wait for a host" sign. We had to ask at the bar what we were supposed to do. We took a seat in a booth and SANK into the seats. After a few minutes we moved to another table. We ordered beer(was lukewarm at best) and our food before we moved. My husband had the surf and turf with French fries, and I had the fried shrimp with fried okra and sweet potato fries. I have to say it was not the best but it was decent. The steak was a really good cut and cooked, maybe a little less than he likes, but not overcooked. The fried oysters were perfectly cooked, and so was my shrimp. The only thing I can say about the food is that the fries could have been a little more crispy. Once we received our food, we no longer saw a server. They were around, but no one came to check on us. I had to go up to where the register was for take out boxes and our check.

Probably the best food in SoBo! We have lived here for years and never considered stopping thinking it was a hotel restaurant and they only served seafood, not true, this one was overlooked by us for years, so glad we found it and the owner is amazing.

The wait staff was great, the bathroom is dated and a little worn, the catfish was ok and the fries were ok , but the steak was not a good flavor and a bit tough, the hush puppies were burnt... sorry to say I don't think it was worth the thirty four dollars, didn't bother for the doggie bag.. I noticed that the quality of the supplies with restaurants in general locally are of poor quality and the cooks don't think quality in their work...if you want a place to succeed then put in the effort..

Pretty good Louisiana style menu with sociable service and acceptable accommodations. There is fair amount of variety on the menu, from platers, wraps, burgers, and Po-boys to salads, sides, and deserts. For those with a more pedestrian taste, the burger options have sufficient variety and the quality is quite good. At first glance, presentation is nice but looked like light portions, but in reality it was substantial and filling. The Gator Tail appetizer was fried to a crispy, golden brown with the typical slightly chewy meat. The gator sauce, a cream cheese & pepper jelly blend with green food coloring is delicious but would be better without or with much less coloring. The Andouille Po-Boy was a more generous portion with a nice spiciness to the andouille on a grilled, fresh French roll. The spiciness was a good compliment to the fresh veggies and mayonnaise. I added the mushrooms and it was a good compliment but would have been really good with mushrooms, peppers, & onions like a Philly style sandwich. The beignets are a very delicious dessert pastry with a crisp exterior and soft interior.
Atmosphere is just so, so. Being attached to a Hotel has its drawbacks, like the lobby bathroom arrangement & such. Not a huge space, but has decent seating.

Decided to go for a drive and pulled off to grab something to eat. The waitress and the kitchen staff were very friendly and as I had never been there before I asked what they recommended. They suggested the Philly cheese po’boy which ended up being a great choice. If I find myself up this way again I’ll be sure to stop by.

A note of the location, it’s in the same building as the hotel and very easy to miss if you’re not looking out.

Definitely, not what we were expecting. This is a restaurant/bar that is attached 2. A hotel and we were expecting just a seafood restaurant. Just out of curiosity, we did the big burger, and it was definitely something different, and we really could not eat it all, it is very large.
We will be back to try different dishes as we just moved to the area for a few months and they have plenty of dishes on the menu to choose from.

Ordered food and this salad is the worst tasting bleachy iceberg. Not a good value, inedible and unsatisfying

Good place to eat and hang out. Their burgers are soo good. And they had a super good bogo deal going on. There were 4 of us so we got two burgers and the other two free. Service was spot on and the food was presentable. The 4 star rating is for the restaurant being closed on Mondays. It's attached to a Quality Inn and if you're like me and my crew when you check in on a Monday and work all day out in the sun dealing with traffic and cutting down trees, a cold beer and a good burger hits really good on a Monday.
