    Shrimp po-boy is overflowing with good size shrimp. Well seasoned. I wasn't in the mood for fries. Mash and gravy is excellent!
    Erica S.

    I rarely give 5 stars. I've been looking for a decent po boy in Baton Rouge for a long time. Most are not good AT ALL! Out of the many many places, this is the absolute BEST! Bread= good and chewy. Stuffed with a ton of shrimp. The customer service was so excellent, that even if it was not that good, I'd go back and try something else. It was THAT good tho. Highly recommend Can't wait to go back and try something else.

    A MUST GO !!! You must... you must ... you must. This was absolutely the best fried fish and shrimp plate I have had at a reasonable price point. I have been hearing about this place and had never been. I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT!! The lady that took my order was extremely helpful since this was my first visit. She suggested the combo plate and the sides. The green beans were great. Mac and cheese needed a little more seasoning, yet still good. The freshness of the seafood will make me return again. The restaurant is very cute. I didn't dine in this time.

    Fried catfish. Moist, tender, flakey, delicious.

    So glad we came here for lunch. Everyone was friendly. This is a down right southern soul filling food spot you need to try! Hush puppies were served upon sitting down as if they were dinner rolls. We even got another basket while we waited on our food. The catfish was . I haven't had such moist and flakey perfectly cooked fried catfish in so long. And the crawfish etouffee was delicious. It was nice that at the end of your meal, you could go to the back of their storage area where they have a running vanilla icecream machine that you can top your belly off with if you have any more room for it. It's like home.

    If you are ever visiting LSU and are looking for a place to eat, I recommend Crawford's. The owners "spoke" when I walked in and that is all that I really need to feel at home. It was not too crowded and the wait for food was not long. The only thing that I would pass on are the corn fritters; I did not enjoy the cream corn filling inside. Other than that, everything from the hush puppies, fried shrimp, to the fried fish are great choices.

    This is a family casual locally owned restaurant that's been around since the 1970 pr 80's. They have the best fried catfish in Louisiana hands down. They have breakfast and lunch and supper. They have hamburgers and sandwiches as well as lunch specials If you haven't tried them give them a try. You can also get the all you can eat fried fish filets and the also have whole fried catfish, Open 10 AM TO 8 PM BUT CLOSED SUNDAY & Monday

    Hidden gem alert! My husband has been singing the praises of Crawford's for lunch on fridays he brews for a while and I finally tried it recently - wow! We both got the combo fish and shrimp platter and it was A TON of fresh seafood - the shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly and the fish was mild and delightful. You also get 2 sides with the platter so I got the side of greens and Mac and cheese and my husband got the fried okra and Mac. The greens needed a bit more seasoning but were perfectly cooked and very juicy. The mac is AMAZING. Also, don't sleep on the cocktail and tartar. A wonderful accompaniment to all this awesomeness. I will definitely be back!

    Crawfords has amazing Cajun home cooking with amazing customer service' Mini was our server and has taken care of my Grandmother and Great Aunt for their weekly lunch outings at Crawfords. This time we were able to take my Grandmother to one of her favorite places and meet her sweet server. The food here is local cuisine that reminds me of my childhood. The prices are great too!! They also offer family size ordering to make it easy in large groups.... Or to take dinner home! The fried catfish is my grandmothers favorite. We all loved our choices. The kiddos also loved the soft serve ice cream in the back! Thanks Crawfords for your many years of service to the Baton Rouge community! I highly recommend and we will be back!

    My God I looked at the reviews and thought this place would be good I couldn't of been more wrong the gumbo was pretty bad the étouffée was an edible and the only thing decent what is the grill chicken on the salad the service wasn't good place isn't really clean the bathroom looks terrible trust me don't come here.

    Best. Catfish. Ever! The service is always friendly and with a smile. The atmosphere is perfect for a good family night out. Check the hours.... Catch them when they're open and you will be in heaven!.

    Never new this little place existed in Baton Rouge. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. I visited for lunch and ordered the all you can eat shrimp and catfish. I wasn't a fan of the fish, but the shrimp had me wanting more. I literally ate all the shrimp I could, and visited this restaurant for the all you can eat shrimp three Fridays straight. No, I didn't ride to BR just for the shrimp, well maybe, I had business. The complimentary hush puppies were a welcomed treat while waiting for your food. The sides I enjoyed the most were the fried okra and regular fries. The sweet potato fries are good, if that is what you prefer. Until we meet again!

    The fried shrimp has a light batter which the way I like it. The all you can eat fried catfish is a good choice.

    Geaux Fish Market…read more 9958 Burbank Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70810 #tonylameats This was my 1st time pulling up to @Geaux Fish Market and I'm not gonna lie, this concept is Brilliant! You can literally pick your out fish and have them cook it right there. Like how fresher can it get?? I chose the Louisiana Red Snapper since it's one of my favorite fish to eat. I had to go crazy with it: * Fried Seafood Sampler: Fresh-cut US catfish, jumbo shrimp, and Louisiana oysters. That catfish?? It's easily the meatiest I've ever had; crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. * Louisiana Red Snapper this was my "foodie victim" but man, it was super tender, light crisp, just melts when you bite into it. Lowkey, it's one those hole-in-the-wall spots you don't expect to hit like this but it does, on a whole another level. I'll definitely be back.

What I liked the most about going there to pick up my food was the cleanliness and the customer service. I loved loved loved the flavor of the fried red snapper. 10/10. And while I did think the grilled fish was good, it wasn't as seasoned as the fried one. I think the side worth getting is definitely the yellow rice. You should definitely check them out if youre looking for a place to buy fresh fish to cook at home also.

I loved the ambiance for this restaurant! Business casual and upscale vibes but not too fancy. When we were waiting to enter our room, there were several water leaks in the roof that kept dropping on us. It was in several places in the host stand areas. I didn't like this because I kept having to move. When we got to the room, again, it was nice and big. We didn't have a prefixed menu, so we got to order whatever we would have liked from the regular menu. There was such a good variety of options! I got the Brussels sprouts and boudin dip to start. I highly recommend both of these as the portion sizes were huge! The Brussels sprouts were burnt and balsamic like, which is my absolute favorite. The boudin dip came with so many crackers and was delicious. For my meal, I got the chicken paillard. It was good but the portion was very small compared to the appetizers in my opinion. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. It filled me up because I had two appetizers, but I don't think it would be enough for me without having something to go with it.

When the manager came he was very rude. Basically said there was absolutely nothing he could do about any of the issues we addressed to him (there were more than just what's on this review). He walked away without addressing the problem. This service and response from the manager was absolutely horrible and unacceptable. The food was good but definitely not for the price we paid.
