Brown's Cafe - Chicken,Shrimp and potato salad - Cafes Near Me - Brusly, Louisiana

Upon first look this place seems very iffy as you have to open a barred security door before the other entry door. The young lady that greeted me from behind the bar was very nice. I placed my order and then others working also kindly greeted me. Inside they had several tables to dine in and many seats around a bar area. It was nice and cool inside. The slogan of, "a small place with big taste" was pretty spot on. The fried chicken was spot on and tasted great. My wife got the fish and shrimp and said it was very good as well. Was not a fan of the potato salad but that's a type of food that is very hit or miss in my opinion so to each his own with that. Overall I suggest trying their food if in that area. read more

This has been the worst dining experience! Ordered my food before I left Baton Rouge, was told twenty minutes. Arrived, paid for my food and then the wait began ! The young lady taking orders was not very friendly nor did she appear to happy! She was very short with customers and seemed to have a very agitated response to anything anyone asked her! Then as the place began to get more crowded, there were people that ordered the exact same thing I ordered and received their food and left and I was still standing here waiting!! Several other customers also complained about call in orders and then still waiting for extended periods to receive their food ! So hopefully they will get it together soon because as of now it's a no-go for me ! read more

The food is good reminds me of the good old days keep up the good work fried chicken fish and shrimp plus good sides and cake

Brown's is a family favorite that never disappoints. I grew up eating Brown's & so did my mom. It's always hot & tasty. Tonight my mom, aunt & I had shrimp plates which were tasty with a lil spice. They only come with a soft roll & a scoop of potato salad which I don't care for so I had to get an order of fries to supplement it. The small shrimp plate is more than enough for me, we all had some left over. The fried chicken is really good too. read more

Well I'm only giving 4 stars because the food is not what it used to be before Mr. Calvin retired or whatever happened to him. The fish used to be well seasoned you can taste the marinade in it from being seasoned the night before. Now it's like you're just eating battered fish with no taste and you can taste the after taste of it. The shrimp are still amazing, and the potato salad has improved oh my goodness it's so good!!! definitely going for shrimp and chicken. They have updated the place from what it used to be. Nice floors & a chalk wall for the kids to write on. The service is amazing they make yu feel so welcomed . Very friendly people. Family owned . read more

I was a little skeptical at first glance. Place was empty. The gentleman working was very nice and welcoming. Chicken was delicious. Fresh out the grease. Only issue was price. 2 3pc dark with fries and a can drink was over $30. read more

food is delicious. Little hole in the wall. But don't let that fool ya. Janet Junot read more

Best fried chicken on the planet!! I love this place! The fried fish is also a favorite since I was a kid. Mr. Cleveland is always smiling and takes time to visit with his customers, and his staff is always kind. The food has never once disappointed. This place is a staple in our little community. read more

The 2 beautiful Waitresses have to be the most kindest girls in the world..... the restaurant serves fish, chicken, and shrimp and it so good but the chicken is the best definitely recommend read more

This is.some of the best friend chicken I have had in Louisiana! Mr. Cleveland got his down to.a science. Well seasoned and cooked right. I fed my crew lunch and they all wanted the address. They are all regulars. read more

Winner winner, chicken dinner! Brown's has the best fried chicken around. The menu isn't extensive - fried chicken, fish, or shrimp, a modest collection of sides, and desserts - but it is all top-notch. The fried chicken has a hint of spice and is super crunchy. The fish and shrimp aren't quite as spicy, so they're my younger son's choice. If you haven't had Brown's chicken yet, go get some. If you're not in Brusly, it's worth the drive. read more

It was first and last time order fries and I mean fries. My husband brought that oily brown bag home and I said, what's that a bag of grease oil whatever you want to call it. They was wrong for even handing it to him like that. The chicken okay! read more

Main point: I'm calling it. This is the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. Ever. Been multiple times now, and every time the chicken is GD perfect. It's a traditional southern fried chicken; very crispy, greasy but not overly so, very, very juicy, and, the kicker for me, perfectly seasoned with a spicy but not overpowering rub. It's interesting and keeps you coming back for more, while still representing the heights of what great, great southern food is all about. Come here and get chicken. Get a large chicken dinner. It's 8 pieces, potato salad and 2 rolls for $10.50. It's enough for 2 people. But get it for yourself and take some home. Service is fairly slow, but perfectly friendly. Slow is good. Slow, because they will fry your chicken to order. Every time. So it's always hot, fresh, and face-meltingly good. It's best when hot. Also best when eaten standing in front of the fridge alone in your pajamas 4 hours later. Also best room temperature the next day at a picnic. Oh my God this chicken. Beer's cheap too! 2.25 a can for Bud. Get yourself one while your chicken cooks. They also have shrimp, fish, and jambalaya. Never tried those. Chicken too good to miss. Unlike the chicken, the sides are not the best I've ever eaten. Potato salad that comes with the chicken dinners is fine; pretty smooth in texture and mustardy. Cool if that's your thing, but not my favorite. Rolls are nothing special. Honestly, don't waste the calories when you could be eating more chicken. Parking's on the street and can be a little tricky when the place is crowded. Not a big deal though. Also, place is closed Monday/Tuesday, so be aware and don't be disappointed. Cash only. I live just down the road from this place. I feel like my property values should go up being in the neighborhood. Seriously, get your hind quarters to West Baton Rouge parish (yeah, across the bride from downtown, blah blah blah, it's soooo worth it), and eat this chicken. read more

That was some durn good chicken!!! The potato salad was solid as well. Wish I could've had a second scoop! It's like one of those hidden gems like you'd find in NOLA. Will be back to Brown's Cafe for more. read more

This place is a great hole in the wall and easy to be missed since it is in a residential area... the shrimp is amazing you can taste the crunch to the shrimp and the buttery flavor is out of this world! If you don't have the time to make a detour make one anyways! read more

Brown's Cafe - Large shrimp! - Cafes Near Me - Brusly, Louisiana

Crispy awesome chicken! Maybe like a hint of garlic?! But there has to be some marinade in the mix. Get the platter to a family function and you will definitely be the star of the show. Lol read more

Very, VERY good fried chicken! Crispy, juicy, and flavorful with just a bit of heat. Some of the best I've had. Friendly staff too!

One of my favorite new spots. I been hearing about this place for years but just never made it there until today for lunch. I don't know about y'all but I like hitting hole in the wall spots they can surprise you with great food. I had this catfish that was so good and it was more food than I thought it would be. It's like chunks of catfish but not quite like nuggets and it doesn't have the bit of slimy/greasy part like most catfish nuggets. It's very meaty and fresh. Next time I'm trying the chicken. I hear it's the best around. The owner is real cool too. He be in there chilling and this other man (somebody grawpaw) be chilling at the bar probably everyday sipping on a beer talking about his common law women haha. It's was funny. Good people and good food. Y'all go check this place out. He said he's planning on opening another location maybe in East Baton Rouge. read more

This is not a fancy place at all. Just an old bar with hollow floors and a few small tables. Fried fish, fried catfish and fried shrimp. That's the menu. I'm not saying it's bad, I have to get my fix every now and then. Just want people to know this isn't a fancy place to bring the family and it's definitely not 5 stars. And oh, you get a roll and potato salad with your meal and the beer is cold. read more

By far the best fried chicken in the area. A friend and I went on a quest to find the best fried chicken and after tasting several in this are, Brown's Cafe was total perfection. I love the place and the owner. They cook to order so no heat lamps, the chicken arrives and has just the right seasoning on it to compliment the chicken flavor and the outside is crispy and delicious! It is worth my trip to Brusley EVERY TIME! Brown's Cafe is consistently fantastic fried chicken. The fried shrimp are wonderful as well! Check it out! You won't be disappointed! read more
