    BBQ SHRIMP POBOY
    Rick P.

    Redemption! After a bad experience at The Chimes east, I decided to give the DT and original location a chance. I was not disappointed. The BBQ Shrimp Po Boy hit the spot and renewed my faith the Baton Rouge staple. I can now highly recommend this location specifically and I'll definitely return!

    The food was great! I've been twice in a weeks time lol. I ordered the boat load seafood platter with catfish, shrimp, stuffed shrimp, a stuffed potato, Caesar salad, hush puppies, boudin egg rolls, and more! The service was a bit slow but the food made up for it. The vibe is casual to formal dining. Great for a business lunch stop or dinner. Wouldn't recommend for quick lunch breaks, may be best to order to go/online.

    Had a great experience at The Chimes Restaurant. The food here is seriously outstanding. I've tried a wide range of things on the menu, and honestly, everything has been consistently amazing. You really can't go wrong no matter what you order. One of the highlights has to be the platters - huge portions and packed with variety (see photo). Definitely come hungry. The atmosphere is also a big part of what makes this place special. It has that classic student energy being so close to LSU - lively, fun, and always buzzing. Just keep in mind that it can get pretty busy because of that, especially during peak times. Overall, this is one of those places that just delivers every time: great food, great portions, and a great vibe.

    Waited 2 hours on game day for a table. It was worth the wait. We people watched and went shopping across the street. Food is excellent here. It's really good. Service is really good too. I love their atmosphere and ambiance. Great place. Highly recommend.

    Blackened Fish and Jambalaya

    I ordered the blackened fish with jambalaya and sautéed spinach. It came with a Caesar salad. Everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, making the visit even better. We came during the LSU Florida game and still had great service. It's a really nice spot to catch the game.

    My friend recommended this restaurant while I was in Baton Rouge we took a Lyft from the Hilton downtown for about $12. It was a great decision to get out of downtown and see the LSU district. Scotty was our server and he was absolutely wonderful! "I've got you" was his famous saying and he certainly did! He had the best smile and giggle! They had many beers on tap and happy to let you taste a few! They had the best crab and Brie soup I've never had anything like it! We tried the Boulin Balls, very interesting sausage and rice with a little kick! We split the Chicken Fried Steak which came with MAC & Cheese and a side garden salad! The entree was $13 and huge portions. It was a steal! The whole bill with a couple beers $38. What a great rooftop and awesome staff looking after you! Highly recommend this place and you know why.... they've been in business since the 80's and they rock!!!

    The food was classic! The service was great and friendly. The ambiance was a warm summer night in August. Slight, very slight breeze. Enjoying Baton Rouge Louisiana for the very first time.

    fried catfish poboy
    Cookie J.

    Meal: 1) salmon sandwich w/t chicken/sausage jambalaya, 2) fried catfish po-boy, red beans & rice w/t sausage, fries PROS: all of the food listed above tasted good, not outrageously good, but... just good. I would get it all again. Portion sizes & price, acceptable. Wait service, very good. CONS: the host girl sat us on the bar side, by ourselves. It was kinda early so we thought... just empty. After eating I walked to the other side of the restaurant which was 60% full. We were perplexed. Bottom line... we did not like that at all!

    I took this photo on my way out, so sorry if it's blurry but that is the roach.

    Decided to take my fiancé out for a meal, The Chimes was the only place open till 11:00 PM on a Monday and figured it would be a good fit considering we've been here in the past and have not had any issues until tonight. The service was good but very slow. The place was almost full so we understood the wait. We ordered our food and waited about an hour and a half to finally get our salads because they were so behind on the food. We were enjoying ourselves so we didn't mind the wait, however, what changed the atmosphere for us really quickly was when a cockroach about 4-5 inches long flew down from the ceiling towards our table and landed on the wall directly next to my fiancés head. We are terrified of cockroaches so naturally we jumped out of our seats. I ended up swatting the roach off the wall and stepping on it. Shortly after our food arrives. After what just happened, we were no longer in the mood to eat, paid our tab and left. The food we did have was good, but the thought of a giant roach flying around the restaurant really killed the mood.

    The best things about chimes are the rooftop and the appetizers. Order a bunch for the table and make it a meal!

    Fried Shrimp Poboy, fully dressed with Lettuce, Tomato, and Pickles. Side of fries

    The Chimes was always one my favorite restaurants to frequent while attending LSU in the 1990s. It has gone through quite a few changes over the years, including a major expansion. The look and feel is like I remember. Cozy, yet room for an astounding amount of LSU revelers. A "Cheers" atmosphere. It has been quite awhile since eating here, and I was happy to see that much of what I remember and loved still remains including their menu items. Today, I ordered a Fried Shrimp Poboy and it must've been good or I was really hungry, because I wolfed it right down. Another favorite of mine has always been the Fried Alligator appetizer. It's almost a meal in itself (if you don't share). My server couldn't have been better. Friendly, attentive, and never left me wanting or waiting.

    Stuffed Shrimp
    Sheri C.

    Service was excellent. Restaurant was comfortable and not loud. We had Stuffed Shrimp, Seafood Lasagna, Spinach and Artichoke Dip & Crawfish Mac and Cheese. Everything was great temperature-wise and Seasoned to Perfection. I first went to The Chimes in LSU over 30 years ago and its still one of my favorite places to go. HIGHLY recommend!

They have been featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive In's, and Dives" and have the pictures with Guy Fieri prominently displayed to prove it. The interior is eclectic, which is comforting. While BBQ is the main emphasis here, there are a number of other things on the menu. One of these that's really popular is the seafood stuffed potatoes. These are gigantic baked potatoes that come with shrimp or catfish, with our without crawfish étouffée. Seafood is a definite option here, and one can have it on Friday or any other day. But let's discuss the BBQ. They have smoked turkey that's never dry, and this is great in a sandwich or plate. The smoked wings are another favorite of mine. Then there is the smoked meatloaf, which is great in po-boy form. The ribs and brisket are also very worthy options. I think a two meat plate is a good way to enjoy the BBQ as it allows variety in tasting! Then one has to be pleased by the wide selection of sides. Variety is always great, especially when it includes uncommonly great options like fried green beans, red beans and rice, and Cajun Dirty Rice. One can always get coleslaw and beans if you are a fan of the classics. They even have desserts, if one has any room left for them. I rarely do...

The crawfish were flavorful, seasoned well, and priced right, which is honestly the perfect combination when you're sitting down ready to eat.

They weren't that great, if I'm being honest, but I was hungry so they got the job done. The crawfish are clearly the star of the show here anyway. The atmosphere felt relaxed and unpretentious, exactly the kind of place you want for seafood with friends, cold drinks, and a table full of shells piling up by the minute.
