I truly love and support the owner, but I have to be honest--this place just isn't hitting for me. I gave it a second try hoping my experience would be better than the first time I visited the Plank Road at Harding location, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered the Thursday special, and overall, the food lacked real flavor. The only seasoning that stood out was black pepper. At this point, I've come to realize that not everyone has the same standard when it comes to good food. The atmosphere had its positives--the building is nice and the space was cool--but the music was so loud that we couldn't comfortably hold a conversation, and the temperature was actually a bit too cold to fully enjoy dining in. The only items I genuinely enjoyed were the fountain drinks and the Hawaiian roll. The rest of the meal fell short. The mashed potatoes were overly saturated with gravy, and while the yams had potential, they needed more sweetness--brown sugar especially. I could taste hints of butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg, but it just didn't come together. Service-wise, the staff was polite but lacked warmth or personality. The interaction felt dry and uninviting. Even with my experience, the restaurant stayed busy, with customers continuing to come in. I really wish the food had matched my expectations, because I wanted to enjoy it--but it just wasn't for me. read more

When we walked in upbeat music was playing, there as such a high energy about this place and the workers. The food was even better. The restrooms were clean!! Both plates for a total on $40 with drinks not featured. Definitely take a sip of that sweet tea, it was gooddddd. I'll be back read more

Great stuff! Went today to try their Friday special: baked turkey wing with dressing & gravy, served w/ your choice of two sides (I got spaghetti & cheese and candied yams). Everything was delicious. Thankfully I'm off from work right now so I can take a nap, I don't know how people can eat this for lunch and then go back to work! read more

Have yall tried DC Eats??? So this has been one of my favorite, downhome places to go for the last 4 years or so. They have never missed!!! ***Edited to add: GO EARLY BC THEY WILL SELL OUT OF THE DAILY SPECIAL. & the address is: 4510 North Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA, United States, 70806*** Each day they have a down home special and regular menu. Anyday I go I usually get the special, the only exception being Wednesday...but not because it isn't good...I'm just not a fan of broccoli, cheese, and shrimp rice. My taste buds can't take it lol But their daily specials include: Monday- red beans and rice with smoked meat with cornbread and 2 sides Tuesday- smothered pork chops with rice and 2 sides Wednesday- Baked chicken with broccoli shrimp and rice casserole with 2 sides Thursday- Salisbury steak with smothered potatoes or rice and 2 sides & Friday- smothered turkey wings with cornbread dressing and 2 sides. Sides include: Candied yams Cabbage SMACK-a roni and cheese(cheese spaghetti) Green beans Corn Greens BBQ Meatballs (I MAY BE FORGETTING A SIDE OR TWO) They also sell big burgers, fried turkey wings, chicken pasta, fried porkchops, fried fish, chicken wings (reg, lemon pepper, crack wings, probably buffalo too), porkchop or fish sandwiches, homemade cakes, and punch. Their new location is larger but both were clean and always a friendly atmosphere. I got a new phone so I don't have any pictures from every day!!! But here are the ones I have. Check them out!!! read more

Friday turkey wings and dressing WOW it was the best ever!! I save some for later cause I had so much. Thank you

Highly underrated for plate lunches in the BR area in my opinion is DC Eats. I finally got a chance to come here as they have moved near BRCC on Foster Each day they have different plate lunches and a few other things such as wings. Monday was red beans day and I paired it with their fried fish The yams, spaghetti and cheese, beans, and fish were all so good. Looking forward to trying out their other lunch plates. read more

I had this place for the first time almost a month ago and besides the wait time being a bit of the problem, the food was DELICIOUS. However, I had them today, for the second time because I was in the area but the food was terrible this time. My mom brought the food home and upon examination my pasta was runny/loose. My mom noticed how liquid like it was. I nudged it off because It didn't smell bad but something was definitely tasting "off" as I was eating the pasta. I decided to stop eating the pasta and ate the rest of my food. The green beans weren't as good as last time but they were edible and I wish they gave you more than one piece of fried fish but at least the fish was good. My mom didn't enjoy her porkchop because it was obviously overcooked and tough so that got thrown away. Shortly after we finished eating, I noticed my stomach was hurting pretty bad - by that time an hour or two had passed and upon throwing the boxes away, the pasta smell coming from the box was horrible. We could smell that it was obviously spoiled! I'm kind of disappointed with my experience this time and not sure when I will give them another try the next time I'm in the area. read more

Absolutely love it here... I am very partial to smoked/baked turkey wings that fall off the bone and it definitely does. All of the sides are amazing and everything has a spicy kick that I've eaten. The chicken pasta is great as well. I'm gonna try a few other things on my next visit.. I try to pace myself lol The fruit punch is GREAT but very VERY sweet for someone so be aware. I love it but I may try the lemonade next time. Service is always fast and friendly. They play great music that does be a tad loud but it makes the ambiance and mood a good vibe. read more

The best soul food hands down I've had in awhile it reminded me of my grandmother cooking. Will definitely be going back to try other dishes. read more

Sat outside for thirty minutes and place never opened during regular business hours!! No one answered the telephone!

I passed by this place and I always wondered what hey served. So we stopped by and when I tell you I was impressed it's super clean and spacious inside and the outside porch is nice. If it wasn't so hot out here I could imagine just imagine sitting outside sipping on some lemonade and enjoying your food. You can't eat all this in one sitting it's definitely lunch and dinner. Everything was really good. The music was old skool reminded me of my childhood and wanting my dad to change the song to something new. But it's very nostalgic and heartwarming. I'll definitely be back. read more

I love DC Eats and will forever singe their praises. This is the first time I've visited their new location. I went later in the afternoon close to 2pm and they still have the plate lunch special left. The new place is really nice. Very clean and a lot more tables to enjoy dinning. The food and staff were was 10/10 per usual. read more

Great environment, nice restaurant but the food was horrible. Traveled 2 hrs to try some of the soul food places in BR so we selected this place because the food looked delicious online but it was actually disgusting!!! We had the Thursday special but We threw it away!! read more

Positive- I come here every time I'm back in town. This is such a good place for southern comfort food. My favorite dishes are the chicken pasta, Swedish meatballs, spaghetti and cheese, and the yams. The service is always friendly and they play great music. Although I've never used it, I'm glad they added an online ordering feature because it can get crowded during lunch time, might be best for some to order ahead! Critical- None! read more

Omggggg I've been thinking about my Friday daily special plate with the baked smothered Turkey leg, cornbread dressing with gravy, cheese spaghetti, & corn SINCE I FINISHED IT! It was like my momma or auntie made that plate!! I look forward to Fridays to come and trying some of the other daily specials. read more

I only ordered a pork chop sandwich. The pork chop was not fried more of a grilled pork chop. Most pork chop sandwiches have some kind of breading on the chop. Sorry I didn't like it read more

I've never ate true southern food packed with this much flavor. I couldn't stop eating! Nothing will ever compare to this. Has to be a famous spot. The staff here--so sweet and accommodating I knew there weren't a lot of vegetarian options so I just asked her for anything she can give me and she made it happen!! Anyway, must try!! read more

DC Eats - Yams(amazing), green beans(SO GOOD) and chicken pasta(Alfredo) but I asked for little chicken. Mostly vegetarian plate!! - Soul Food Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was inside.. I loved the music playing even though it was loud and made conversation difficult and made it hard to hear when your number was called..but it was good music . I swayed from side to side the entire wait. The Turkey wing lunch from Friday's menu is 10 out of 10.. meat so tender it slides off the bone.. dressing is doable.. not your mother's Thanksgiving dressing but worth the weekly rotation. The mac and cheese was perfect and the corn was the good buttery corn that's addictive. The burger....the burger was dry! Not just because it only comes meat and bread (I added cheese) but the lettuce tomato and pickle come on the side and they put condiment packets in the bag so it was...dry. The meat itself was dry. Like choke hazard dry. It had a good flavor and maybe its bec my kids like well done (no pink) burgers but I ve had well done burgers that are juicy so this may be the choice of meat they use but...it was dry..like..dont even order this..dry....all in all I look forward to trying other lunch options. That star taken away was 100 percent because of the burger. read more

Nice looking restaurant. I've only tried the breakfast so far. It's set up cafeteria style. I had eggs, grits, bacon, sausage,and biscuits. The food was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the plate size and how it was set up. It was the small to go plate and the eggs were placed on top of the grits and a foil sheet on top with the biscuits and sausage. I prefer my eggs separately from my grits. Other than that it was pretty good. My daughter had two cinnamon rolls. They had pieces of pecans on them. She really enjoyed them. The decor and atmosphere looks really nice. I will visit again during lunch time. read more

Visiting family and the Red Brick door caught my eye, figured worth a shot. Place was clean and cute. Employees were very nice. The menu is small with daily special, but I like that. I got the red beans n rice (BOMB) with 2 sides, cabbage was delicious (just enough heat for me) but I wouldn't get the cheesy pasta again (too cheesy lol but others may like) cornbread was good, didn't crumble too much. It was a healthy serving, (I had leftovers) but not sure it was $10.75 worthy. But I am super cheap lol Mom got the $5 fried pork chop sandwich with potato salad. It was a nice chop super tender n crispy. I like this place and will def swing by on my next visit. Shoot I may swing by and get some cobbler, it looked delicious. Ate so fast I didn't get pictures of the food. read more

Had the fried pork chop sandwich here. Got it dressed, but was curious about the option to add potato salad on it. Next time. The crack sauce is an optional add too, got that. It was a little too salty but has pretty good otherwise. The sandwich comes dressed with lettuce and tomato on white bread, but without condiments so ask for those separately. Music is pumping while you wait. You can order online on their web site in advance and just swing by to pick up. Pro move. Otherwise, ordering can take a while in store as the lines were consistently 4-6 people long. It's spacious inside. read more

The food was awesome. I ordered the Friday special : baked turkey wing, gravy, cornbread dressing with spaghetti and cheese/yams for my side. I was able to share my plate and was still full.

Nice atmosphere when i walked in, cool vibes, and ordered a fried Turkey wing plate, with pasta side and potato salad, got home and ate it and it was so good, this is a place I would come to again and again and try the other food there as well. So delicious!! read more

Had them for the first time today. The restaurant is nice, clean and bright. The cashier's greeting was welcoming. My mom and I ordered the smothered pork chops. Our sides were candied yams, corn, and green beans. I also ordered peach cobbler. First, overall the food was tasty. The pork chops were tender and falling apart. The gravy was good, but not over seasoned. The temp was luke-warm though. The yams were soupy-like so not much potato. My dessert was not good. I believe I got a burnt corner and bad crust. It tasted like a whole lot of oil and not butter; more like margarine or vegetable oil. That was a disappointment. Everything else was good. The dessert just needs some work. Thanks for dinner though. I'll be back to try something else next time. read more

The food was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions are large, the building is clean, and the customer service is superb.

Just had it for the first time and it was amazing! They have some real cooks in the kitchen! I promise you won't be disappointed! They now serve breakfast everyday sun-sat 6am-10:30am read more

Not bad we had the daily special for lunch which was smothered pork chops. The sides were excellent I had cheesy pasta (mac n cheese) and green beans. You get a lot of food for the money. 1 plate could easily feed 2 people. The place looked very clean and there was no wait time. My only concern was that the people working weren't wearing masks at all or they were only covering their chins. read more
