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

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.

Each one of the items I ordered was delicious but had it's own particular seasoning. The one thing I didn't like, I don't attribute to them, I failed to think through my choice. I ordered the fried snapper, wings, with okra and hush puppies. I have never in my life eaten fried snapper. I always have it like Caribbean style grilled. So I should have had another fish. And to the cashier's credit, when I ordered he said, "you said you want the snapper?" So, I am excited for my next visit to see what the other fried fish tastes like. Hopefully, that isn't their Achilles Heel. They have a sauce they add on the side that is like a version of thousand island. It tastes decent but is unnecessary in my opinion.

The menu offers a variety of seafood boil combos to choose from, all smothered in their signature Cajun sauce and garlic butter. I ordered the Special #3, which came with snow crab, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and an egg. I'd recommend getting the sauce on the side so you can control how much you use and avoid it becoming too salty. The seafood boil itself was perfectly seasoned, so the sauces felt more like a flavorful bonus.

But the customer service honestly threw me off a little. It was my first time there trying something new, so of course I had a few questions, but the cashier acted like I was bothering her just for being curious. That kinda killed the experience for me. Now the food itself actually looked pretty good, so I can't fully judge the menu yet. The only thing I ended up ordering was one of their sauces, and honestly... it just wasn't it for me. The taste felt off and I wasn't really feeling it. I probably would've stayed and tried the actual food, but with the attitude and overall customer service, I just didn't even feel like sitting down and eating anymore. Hopefully it was just an off day, because the place definitely has potential.

And the fact…read morethat you have that much time on your hands to TEXT yourself imposing as someone else trying to prove a point how "clean" your establishment is, is ridiculous and absurd!!! And shows how disgusting your place of business really is. SEE UPDATED PHOTOS BELOW! On March 23, 2025 I purchased crawfish from B&T seafood and was absolutely horrified to find a hair scrunchie with actual hair still tied to it mixed in with my food. This is beyond disgusting and completely unacceptable. It raises serious concerns about the establishment's hygiene, food safety, and overall cleanliness. What made this situation even worse was how the business responded. When I brought this to their attention, they showed no concern, no accountability, and no professionalism. Instead of apologizing or offering any type of resolution, they responded with dismissive, passive-aggressive remarks, essentially telling me I'd be "surprised" by the things people find in food--as if a scrunchie with someone's hair in it is a normal or acceptable occurrence. I am disgusted, disappointed, and frankly, traumatized by this experience. Not only was my food completely inedible, but the business also refused to acknowledge the severity of the issue. They have made no attempt to resolve this--no refund, no apology, nothing. Their lack of basic hygiene and their unprofessional attitude make it clear that they do not value their customers' health or trust. I am filing this complaint because this business needs to be held accountable for its negligence. A hair scrunchie in food is not a small mistake--it is a serious food safety violation that should never happen in any restaurant. I expect this matter to be addressed immediately. I urge the BBB to investigate this establishment, as their complete disregard for cleanliness and customer safety is deeply concerning. No one should have to go through this kind of experience when purchasing food.

But the showstopper was the Fish Chalmette with speckled trout. Phenomenal dish. Perfectly prepared fish with an incredible crawfish cream sauce that made every bite better than the last. This is exactly the kind of classic Louisiana seafood spot you hope to find--great food, no gimmicks, just consistently outstanding dishes. Definitely a place I'll come back to.

I chose the New Orleans Style Garlic Butter & Spinach & Artichoke Chargrilled Oysters and they did not disappoint! The grilled bread was the amazing lagniappe. I also ordered the Shrimp & Artichoke Dip and it was served piping hot with homemade house fried tortilla chips. I devoured it and loved every bite. Last, but not least I enjoyed the Crawfish Spoonbread. It is a must-try! The restaurant is noisy so if you are looking for a quaint and quiet spot this is not for you. Casual atmosphere. I will definitely be back when I am in Baton Rouge.

It was my first time here, the employees were so nice they talked me through my questions when I was ordering and everything I ate was the craziest best version I've ever had. Do not skip the mustard greens 10/10 I want that recipe it was my favorite item. The candied yams 1000/10 so good. The Mac n cheese come on now 10/10. Just everything was so delicious the other stuff I got too but I just had to say something about these items.

They are conveniently located on Government Street near the Garden District. There's parking out front and in the side. Their seafood options include boiled crawfish is season, and these are very good indeed. I find their fried catfish excellent as is their shrimp. In a recent visit, my friend had them make her a blackened shrimp and blackened alligator plate as her combo and I was jealous! I recently tried their BBQ as I usually get seafood and was very pleasantly surprised. The ribs were really outstanding. While the main courses are always the star of the show, their sides need to be discussed as well. My favorite is probably the cabbage which is sautéd till crisp tender. The beans and rice could be a main course, but are excellent as sides. Cornbread tops off the meal.
