Came here for a work lunch. My first time here. 12pm on a Tuesday and the lunch hour was jumping. The restaurant is spacious where you can sit outside, inside lower level, upstairs or at the bar. We sat at the bar. Bartender attended to use quickly with menus and drink request taken. My colleagues ordered crawfish fries and they cleaned the plate. I ordered a catfish po-boy dressed and fried hard. Food came out fresh. I was unable to finish all my fries and half of my sandwich. It was perfectly dressed. Not too much lettuce or mayo or tomatoes or pickles or mayo. Really enjoyed it. Brought it home and ate it for dinner read more

The Chimes is a MUST visit. A Very Impressive place, with a diverse crowd. AMAZING FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT ATMOSPHERE! I had two servers (it was shift change when I got there, and it was seamless), they were both great. My main server was also training someone and she still did an amazing job. They have a TON of beer on tap and many others . Full Bar with knowledgeable staff. The menu is perfect, not too big, plenty of local and traditional options. FOOD WAS GREAT... Thank you to everyone who made my experience there Great! read more

Came here for lunch and a couple drinks before a football game!! We showed up without a reservation and had to wait half an hour or so because they were very busy. It wasn't bad though - we were able to wait on the outdoor patio bar and have a couple drinks while they got our table ready. The ambiance was cool! I love going to college towns and there was definitely a strong LSU student presence there. Lots of partying and school spirit which was fun to be around. I got a Caesar salad with chicken which was pretty good. One of my friends got a beer that was completely flat. When he asked for another he was charged for a second, which was disappointing. Overall though this was a great spot to grab a bite to eat before heading over to the stadium. read more

The food was amazing, great customer service. The environment is so magnetic. I love it here at The Chimes.

I ordered the catfish Perdu which was excellent. The service was excellent with especially friendly servers. Highly recommend.

The vibe of Chimes is fantastic, and the food is wonderful. Great addition to Lafayette's food scene.

superb food, superb, and an over and above service, and an amazing place to eat and visit

This place is awesome! Very friendly staff and the food was amazing! Had the crawfish Mac-n-cheese and shrimp n grits and both were sooo good! Sampled the gumbo and soups also and they were delicious! Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back if we ever make it down this way again! read more

This restaurant is always my go-to! With 'Louisiana' and Cajun food options, there are many options to choose from if you are looking for that kind of food. They also have plenty of beer options, which always is a must have for me. The Spinach and Artichoke dip is a MUST! The dip comes with fried bow tie pasta... once you eat this, you can never go back. The dip is also perfectly warm and has a great cheese pull to it too. Everything else on the menu is good, I love the Chicken Caesar Salad, the Red Beans and Rice and the Lagniappe Cakes- defintely my top three. I love the rooftop bar that was recently added, there are plenty of shaded places to sit and in the summer there are plenty of fans! It has a full bar and TVs up there too. The rooftop is a first come basis for tables, but I never have a problem getting a table up there. Located right off of LSU's campus, this retaurant is a popular spot all times of the year- especially football season! read more

So, I just ordered food to go from The Chimes thru UberEats. As has happened the last two times I ordered food from them, an item was missing. (And of course, everything was cold, even tho the order was picked up and delivered promptly and I live about 4 minutes away). When I called the Chimes to complain, they neither apologized nor offered to replace the item. The person who answered the phone put me on hold twice and both times came back to say there was nothing they could do and my only option was to complain to the app. The Chimes is careless about their service and unconcerned about their customers. Think twice before ordering, and know in advance that they won't correct their errors. read more

We decided to dine here after visiting LSU for network. It was on a Friday around 7 pm in January. Upon walking there was about an hour wait. We were able to join the wait list, which you can see your remaining wait time on your phone through a link. While we waited I toured the place, the ambiance was vibrant. It can be a place for a nice dinner, celebrating a birthday or for just for a couple of beers. They did have a patio on the 2nd floor for more seating and mingling. Once we were seated, the service was great. The food was ok, it was my first time in Baton Rouge so I was expecting very flavorful food. And the Jambalaya rice did not disappoint. The Seafood Lasagna was very good as well. We had alligator bites and OMG their ranch, is from out of this world. Definitely recommend trying it. Also had the spinach dip and that was fair too, not a fan of the chips that it came with it though. We did order some other items, that I did not take a photo of. The Seafood Pasta, was mid; not a lot of flavor, it kind of tasted like watered down sauce. And the side of Mac & Cheese tasted a little off, like bananas. Either way, when we are back in the area we will most likely stop here again for other dishes. Enjoy :) read more

I'm super frustrated right now. We ate there Saturday to celebrate my daughter's Track and Field State championship with 9 people. The food was great; the waitress was super nice. I left a good tip, but I also left my credit card. I'm in New Orleans, my son is there at LSU, so I asked him to grab it and sent him my license. He spoke to three people, and I called three times and got put on endless hold. The manager unnecessarily stonewalled him and refused to give him my card, citing the card agreement. I mean, ok, but c'mon man. I was on the phone with him, he had my DL with the same last name and address. The manager got personally offended about my son trying to get my card and questioning him about it. Dude threatened to call the police and trespass him lol. Weak, insecure and so crazy. Can someone with some common sense look at this and get my card to him so I don't have to cancel all my autopays? This guy is literally running off customers, but I get it, we all have bad days. 504-261-5487 thank you!! read more

Aside from the ambiance and the spinach dip, this place is plain and simply not good. The food is significantly lacking flavor. The chicken pasta tasted like there was zero seasoning whatsoever. It just tasted like heavy cream. The crawfish étouffée tasted like crawfish (in a bad way) which just gave it a fishy flavor as there didn't seem to be any other seasoning to balance it. Come for a drink and maybe an appetizer, but don't try to go down their menu. Oh, and the gumbo has tomatoes in it, if anyone was curious. read more

Came in town for work, someone locally recommended. Myself and 3 co-workers came here and enjoyed our drinks and food. Huge beer menu and great food menu. Lots to choose from. Our waiter was super friendly and offered recommendations on beers. He also wanted us to try stuff but we didn't. We got some apps, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, which was excellent and what made this was the bow tie pasta chips. Tasty and we all munched away! We also shared the Crawfish Mac & Cheese! This was great too. MUST TRY! For entrees I got the Seafood pasta which was good. Had crawfish and shrimp in it. Wish it had a little more spicy or cajun kick. My co workers both got Catfish Perdu, as recommend by the waiter. They both enjoyed it. I didn't try it. We didn't opt for dessert but had some good selections. Good little spot right next to LSU campus, so a lot of younger people here. read more

Visting from AZ and saw the Chime's on Highland (close to LSU) was rated great. Stopped in for lunch had a geat waitress Audrey, lunch was very good subsequently suggested it to friends for dinner. Went to dinner 6 of us. Everything was going well orders came out with one exception mine. ( Should not be diffiuclt, order of Hush Puppies and 1/2 dozen oyster Everyone was almot done and still no order, our waitress was sitting at another table training someone new. Never informed me what the situation was. I then proceeded to talk to the manager. Her comment was the oysters come from a differnet area the waitress did not follow up with her order and the manager should be trained. Bad experience if I ever get back to Batn Rouge you can be that Chime will not be on the list. Cecelias was fantastic try it. read more

Such a wonderful experience. So wonderfully casual yet supreme. My new go to in Baton. As a foodie from SF I was blown away by my beautiful seafood - perfectly grilled. Easily can split! Now let's talk about why I'll really come back: the service, hands down phenomenal. These young incredible women are so kind, hospitable and generous in whatever engagement the customer is seeking. Their names are Kelsey and Meagan - ANYONE would be privileged to have them work for them. read more

First of all the service is consistently excellent, friendly and makes me look forward to next time! I appreciate the Kitchen staff always accommodating, my gluten, dairy, and egg free dietary requirements. The ambience is welcoming and comfortable. read more

Delicious!!! We were spending the weekend In Baton Rouge and we're excited to foodie it out. We chose Chimes because their menu has something for everything including my 11yr old. We went all out. Boudin egg rolls, fried alligator, gumbo and jambalaya. The servers actually bring you samples of the gumbo before completing the order just to make sure you like it which I appreciated. There have been plenty of times where I've been adventurous eating a different type of food and instantly regretted it. Everything was so delicious. Even my daughter liked the alligator. What was the best part to me was the price and I think that's because I'm from California and there is no way if we ordered as much food as we did we would leave with a bill less than 100 dollars which we did. Two appetizers, a soup and three entres. Such a great deal. The only issue we had was your going to have to wait to eat. This restaurant is across from LSU so it is such a busy area but the food will Definitely be worth the wait. read more

My first time being here, first time in Baton Rouge. The food was pretty good, however, the fried gator was a bit too salty. I will say that management took the item off my check with no issues. My server, I can't remember his name, was absolutely wonderful. He allowed us to sample the soup before we decided which one we wanted, he made sure we had everything we needed. I had questions about the menu and he was very honest, which I respect a lot. Drinks were good but a little pricey. My favorite item of all was the crawfish fries and red beans and rice. They were so so good! read more

The food was very good! We ordered the crab claws for our appetizer. Didn't have many at all. Not worth the price. My daughter and I had the red beans and rice. It was very spicy. Our meals Came with a salad. Only lettuce with a couple of tomatoes and croutons. My husband ordered the lunch special. He enjoyed his dish. We were seated at a booth which was very small. Better to ask for a table. The inside looked nice. read more

As a new resident of Baton Rouge, I was told that The Chimes is a staple. It's proximity to LSU's North Gate entrance had me thinking that this would be a typical college bar that was dingy and divey. No - this place is FANTASTIC! Most people probably go to The Chimes for lunch or to watch a game, but their weekend brunch is absolutely stellar (especially the cheese grits - definitely a whole lot of love and butter goes into those). The brunch menu is small, but everything is very tasty. If you're into having a little booze with your brunch, their three specials (Irish coffee, Bloody Mary, and Mimosa) do not disappoint in taste or size (all served in an imperial pint glass). If it's a nice day- definitely sit on the rooftop patio! While I have also enjoyed this restaurant for lunch, what will bring me back over and over is brunch...come hungry and leave super satisfied! read more

An absolute destination, if you're looking for a local spot with great food, good flavors and way too many beers. The beer menu is so expansive and overwhelming because I wanna try every one, but I know I can't because I'm not an alcoholic. The service was kind of sporadic, but she was super helpful when she was at the table. The ambiance is the best part about this place. The new upstairs bar is one of the best spots to stop for dinner with your family or supper with your friends. read more

The food was ok but the waitress Lainey R spilled marinara sauce all over my blouse. She seemed overwhelmed.

We ordered the blackened chicken alfredo. It was full of flavor. The chicken was juicy and the noodles were on point. I shared it with my hubby.

Dessert-lemon blueberry ooey gooey-so warm and the ice cream on top. Oh my! Scotty took very good care of us. We will be back. Thanks. read more

We stopped here per a friend's rec on our way through Baton Rouge and I'm so glad we did!! The shrimp etoufee was so well seasoned and the serving size was huge. The catfish was also so tender and the lemon seasoning was incredible. We chose Mac and cheese as the side for the platter and it was the best Mac I've had in a while (bbq places included). It wasn't super Melty velveeta cheese like some other places, but there was definitely enough cheese and the crust on top gives it a nice texture. Although it was busy, our server was attentive and we sat on the rooftop patio and watched the sunset with the nba tournament playing on TVs in the background read more
