    A nice place downtown to grab some good food! I was meeting someone who was staying at the Hotel Indigo, and this was right across the street the street, so it was a perfect place. Parking is difficult, but that's typical of downtown BR. I parked in the parking garage not far from the restaurant, and it was fine. We sat at the bar because the restaurant was a tad crowded for a Thursday night. There were plenty of open seats at the bar and tons of TVs to watch. The bartender was great and service was good. We came in December, so it was tastefully decorated for the holidays. I got the chicken Caesar wrap and my friend got the shrimp po boy. The wrap was so good and the fries were delicious! The po boy was a huge serving and came with a bunch of shrimp on it. A good place to consider!

    Grilled Chicken
    Jasmine H.

    I had the pleasure of trying this place for lunch. We ordered for pick up but I'd like to came back to eat in this establishment. I had the grilled chicken and rice with veggies. It was great. It was a healthy option for me and was a great portion. I didn't feel sluggish after eating. I the veggies were very tasty. My only complaint is that there isn't a sauce for the chicken. I believe that's what it's missing. I ended up just eating it with A1 sauce. I'd like to come back and try other menu items

    Crawfish cornbread
    Chrishonda B.

    The crawfish cornbread was amazing! But my country fried steak could've been better. It was really tough. Our waiter was extremely helpful and nice during the evening and the restaurant seemed clean expect for my fork.

    Sat at a booth. Service was subpar; never got a refill on our water. We ordered the gumbo - has a slight kick and very good; French dip - meat was nuke warm and dip had no flavor; chicken fried steak was overcooked and dry. We also ordered the carrot cake and bread pudding. The carrot cake was not warm. It was cold (straight out of the refrigerator). Unfortunate and underwhelming dinner experience.

    We were in town for a conference and staying at the Hilton across the street. We walked in about an hour before closing but got the best service still. We actually closed the place down. It's a nice clean spot for a date night or hanging out. Laid back vibe totally. I ordered the honey garlic salmon. Came with rice and asparagus. I switched the rice for mashed potatoes. Salmon was very good. My asparagus was undercooked and not seasoned. Another lady at my table ordered the same thing and said her salmon was well seasoned. Overall it was a good dining experience.

    Had consistently great experiences at Capital City Grill. The food is excellent across the board- I genuinely haven't had a bad dish here. Everything is well-prepared, flavorful, and reliable every time. Their Sunday brunch is also a standout - definitely don't miss it. It's one of the highlights and worth planning around. The location in downtown Baton Rouge is great, and the service is friendly and welcoming. Even when it gets busy, things still move efficiently, which really adds to the overall experience. Overall, just a really solid spot that delivers every time. Would absolutely keep coming back.

    Club sandwich with sweet potato fries
    Brian P.

    I'm surprised by the low reviews. I've been here several times and the experience is always good. They could do with some sound absorbing, it does get a little loud. The waitstaff is always friendly, the food is always good and the portions are excellent.

    Tenderloin Caesar Salad
    Peyton F.

    The salads here are so good! A great amount of toppings and dressing. The tenderloin on my salad did come well done when I requested medium well so next time I will definitely request medium. Service was fast and attentive. Overall, everything was good and I would both recommend and return.

    Cheeseburger

    Service and ambiance are great. Food not so much. The burger was tough and salt on top was crunchy and the toppings weren't fresh.

    1/2 and 1/2 Platter
    Traechel M.

    My husband and I decided to grab an early dinner downtown. We decided to eat at Capital City Grill because we were in the mood for some seafood. It's a pretty large restaurant with a bar area, but the bar area was pretty full. So we sat in a booth. Our waiter came out quickly and brought menus and water. It was still happy hour, so ordered the Pretty in Pink for me and the New Old Fashion for him! For our app, we ordered the boudin balls. For my entree, I ordered the 1/2 & 1/2 seafood platter and my husband ordered the Catfish Etoufee. The boudin balls were not good. They were fried too hard and the boudin filling was bland. My catfish platter was better, although the fish and shrimp could have used more seasoning. My husband's catfish etoufee was good, but over salted. Also, the hushpuppies tasted old and stale. Like they were made with cheap flour. We've dined here before, but the food was better. This experience didn't really impress us to come back.

    Crawfish Cornbread
    Janet B.

    We went in for brunch had the Seafood Omelette, Banger Shrimp, endless champagne with a carafe of pineapple juice and coffee. Then added the Crawfish Cornbread. So good! The service was average. Not bad. You have a choice of sitting inside or outside. Only disappointment was the "carafe" of juice. It was smaller than my coffee mug.

    Fried chicken tenderloin salad
    Stacy E.

    Average place!! The hostess was busy so this was most likely why she wasn't as welcoming as I would've expected but the waiters and bartender were super friendly! The portions are big! The food is ok. The grilled chicken had nice flavor but was dry! The avocado rolls were good. I deducted stars because the menu had dried white stuff on it and overall the place has a dingy feeling and needs to be deep cleaned and maybe new laminate flooring since the carpet gives a dirty feeling. It's an ok place so not sure if I'd recommend it or seek it out but if I had to go back I would

    pulled pork and fries

    i had pulled pork sandwich with mozzarella stick appetizers! it was amazing! I'll definitely be back!

    Cork's Cajun Fried Fish & Shrimp 5131 Government St, Baton…read moreRouge, LA #tonylameats No long review needed; If you're craving crispy Cajun fried fish and Gulf fried shrimp, this is the spot for you. The Captain's Platter comes loaded with fries, slaw, hushpuppies, and the honey butter roll that got me rolling. They don't just stop at fried seafood either; they also have crawfish étouffée, shrimp & grits, and po'boys on Gambino's bread keep things real Louisiana. Simple, flavorful, and straight to the point. This is the definition of comfort food. Tonylameats Approved @Cork's Fish & Shrimp

    Open so disappointed since the Coul-Yon's food truck left my neighborhood and going across the…read moreriver is a little too much for one of their potatoes no matter how good they are. I had no idea. Corks was owned by the same people. One of my friends who works at Coy-Yon's in West Baton Rouge told me that I could still get that potato pretty easily on Government Street. I guess this is basically the same thing as our restaurant in Port Alan instead of barbecue, they specialize in fish and shrimp. I did get shrimp as my protein for the potato and it was delicious Definitely go, give it a shot. The server was very nice and friendly. Parking very simple. Interiors mostly white. They've got some art on the wall, looks like it's done locally. Most mostly of their other restaurant. If I had to complain and be picky, I would say take that Christmas tree down. I always find the tacky when restaurants or businesses leave their Christmas tree up all year. It's never the flex they think it is. But who cares. The food is good.
