Guys, it was THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I'D EVER HAD. It was lava hot, juicy, and greasy. It was also absolutely delicious. I was concerned that the thigh meat was going to taste different. But I could not tell.The fries were crinkle cut, but were seasoned well. Didn't even need ketchup for them. The place is very clean and they had 80s music playing in the background, my favorite decade of music. Not surprising, being an 80s kid. The damage all told, including a tip, was $25. Is it expensive? Yes. Is the quality and quantity of the food commensurate to the price? Also yes. Is it worth the hype? ABSOLUTELY YES. I was also informed there's a Hammond location. I will definitely bring my family there, as it's closer, to try them out as well.

With its humble beginnings from a food truck to several locations around southern Louisiana. Please…read morerefer to the website for locations. We went to the restaurant in New Orleans (Metairie). It is off Veterans Blvd. It is on the right side as you are driving east. Please be on the lookout. Otherwise, you might pass it by. Tends to spring up and drive by. We almost missed it. This is a fantastic location! Kinda tight and almost missed it. Parking is very limited. If you get discouraged you cannot find a good parking spot. I believe you may park on back street? Do not hold me to that. Worst case, you can always get your order to go. It was our first time. We were curious about and not many restaurants offer fresh made pork cracklings. Usually you have to buy it at a local market or know someone. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They briefly went over a few recommendations. We started with of course, order of adobo fresh pork cracklings. Adobo or traditional** crispy pork belly, adobo sauce, topped with garlic peanut rub Southerns Queso burger - 6 oz. beef patty*, pickled jalapeño, queso, beer battered onion ring with order of fries. Tender meal - Choose your spice level. 3 jumbo chicken tenders, fries, and tender sauce. (Mild) Southerns Original Chicken Sandwich - Choose your spice level. Boneless chicken thigh, Yuzu aioli, slaw, housemade pickle. (Mild) I was curious about the Phuket Sauce. So I got an order too. This tastes great! Not spicy at all. Do not let the pepper fool you. It has a little kick but not spicy at all. All are well seasoned. Few of them you can choose your spice level. We all washed down with fountain drinks. They do offer catering services and possibly call ahead ordering. Please reach out to them for options. If you are in the mood for something different but great food. Give them a try if in the area.

The fish is incredibly fresh and flaky every single time. What really sets Mike's apart from other seafood joints, though, is the salad bar. It is hands-down the freshest and most extensive one in the area. They have everything from crisp greens to delicious homemade pasta salads, broccoli salad, and real bacon bits. It's the perfect way to lighten up a heavy fried meal. The portions are massive, the staff treats you like an old friend, and the sweet tea is always cold. Whether you're a local or just passing through on I-55, do yourself a favor and stop in!

Ms Audrey offers plate lunches, basically following the "meat and 3" (or two) concept, along with freshly brewed iced tea, sweet or not. I went for the catfish and shrimp combo, with sides of gravy rice and mac, and it was all perfect. Breading was light with the right crunch, tangy rice was great with brown gravy, and the mac was dreamy creamy. Ms Audreys is open for lunch six days (closed Saturdays) and is kind of in a back neighborhood, housed in a former elementary school, gym I think. Worth the hunt the next time you're hungry on the Gulf Coast, Gulfport/Biloxi.

It has been a long time since we have had dinner here since the food was not good the last two times we had visited. We used to go all the time but the food just wasn't that good. We were greeted with a warm welcome and our waitress was wonderful. They were know for their thin catfish unfortunately they have lost their mojo. The fish tasted of just batter. Our waitress handled our party of 14 like a pro. Most of the food came out in a timely manner they were not busy. Our fish came out but the rest of the seafood platter was absent. When it did come out it was cool. Missing hush puppies which we had to ask for. The seafood platter came with two pieces of fish 6 shrimp 4 oysters , large stuff crab , fries and coleslaw. The fish was mushy, the shrimp and oysters were ok the stuff crab was very large but with lots of bread crumbs and green onions. Not our favorite. The place is beautiful. The owners have really worked hard and the decor is very nice. The focus is not on the food like the family that had opened the place. If you are on I55 stop in you will enjoy the beauty of the drive and their dock is great.

Parrain's is one of those Baton Rouge restaurants that feels very Louisiana the minute you walk in…read more Casual, busy, a little rustic, and usually full of people who look like they already know exactly what they're ordering. I went with the fried catfish, and that was definitely the right decision for me. Nicely fried, crispy without being cooked to death, and actually seasoned. Because fried catfish without seasoning is just sadness on a plate, and I don't have time for that. The catfish is one of the things Parrain's is known for, and you can order either the regular Catfish Filets or Thin Fried Catfish. The atmosphere is relaxed and very much old-school Louisiana seafood restaurant. Nothing fancy or overly polished, but it has character. It also stays BUSY, so depending on when you go, expect a crowd and possibly a wait. Recent feedback is generally very strong for the food and atmosphere, although service can be a little inconsistent when they're slammed. Overall, I liked Parrain's. The food was good, portions are generous, and it feels like the kind of place you should try at least once when you're in Baton Rouge.
