    Fried chicken wings and red beans
    Michelle J.

    Down home indulgence is what Papa's offers. Most things come grilled or fried but I tend to go for the fried when I'm able to come here. There are daily specials and other items offered all the time.. I've never had a bad experience. This place gets extremely busy during the wk during lunch hours so IF you can get them to pick up the phone call your order in. Hours are slim so if you're craving it after 3 pm or on a Sunday you're already late. Come with at least $10...a healthy appetite and don't forget the sweet tea lemonade combo!

    Smothered Pork chop w/rice n gravy, candied yams, cornbread dressing, and cornbread muffin with Papppa's Mix to drink.

    If EVA you come to Baton Rouge, and are looking for a good place to eat, come to Pappa's!! The food is OUTSTANDING! They give you healthy portions, the food comes out piping hot, and tastes like your grandmama made it.(for those of you whose grandma is from the south) Customer Service is great, and they have a combo of sweet tea and lemonade called the Pappa's Mix..the bomb! If ever I find my way to Baton Rouge, I will be back! Oh, and the owner Cedric Briggs cooks the food..young dude..prob in his 30's..he puts it down in the kitchen, and was a genuine, nice guy. This is a must try if you are in Baton Rouge. ..you won't be sorry! ;-) Mmmm slap yo momma good food!! OH. . and go early.. they are only open from 10:30 to 3 Monday thru Saturday.

    Very good

    I came here yesterday for the first time and now I'm back again today. Everything is good. I might be here every week. I was hard to find tho. It's right before academy.

    Red beans and rice, spaghetti with cheese and corn muffin.

    came on a tuesday night and thought there would be no wait - we were told 1 hour for 5 adults and 2…read morekids! it ended up being a 15 minute wait. super friendly and chatty waiter! got the natchitoches meat pie with the red beans and rice as my side. i honestly thought it would be a small pie but it's a hand held pie (similar to an empanada) it was very good - the crust was flakey and buttery and paired well with the meats inside! love the salad! it had such a unique dressing. would come back again!!

    I wish I could leave a better review! Quite disappointed, sadly…read more Very clean and very cute!! I've heard amazing things from multiple reviews and was so excited. (Visiting from out of town). Expected a wait, 20 minutes, no problem! Another 15 to place our order, and another 25 to receive our food. We were there over an hour before we got any food. Ooffff... it's fine. We're laid back and can roll with the punches-they're busy and staff was friendly-it'll all be worth it when the food rocks our socks. Sadly...no. Both grilled cheeses (entrees) were room temp and the cheese was already hardening. It felt as if they had forgotten to deliver the food. Waitress was so kind and took the one off our check. It was appreciated. Boudin balls were great!! Bedford and remoulade sauces were okay. Parmesan potatoes were good!! Brussel sprouts and fries were fine-would have been better if served hot, I think. We did the pie flight and they were all good. Not mind blowing, but good. I always give out second chances-public service and food service is tough and sometimes you just have off days. Worth checking out if you live in town!! But if you're just passing through, maybe just get some pie to go.

    Although it was a chain, its still very filling. Our first…read moretime here, and our server what's super helpful and offered us various different sauces to try before we ordered our food. Ordered the pasta and the hubs ordered a bowl of gumbo.

    I had really been looking forward to trying Parrain's Seafood, but unfortunately my experience was…read moredisappointing. Our waitress, Kate M., didn't have the best customer service. She came across as short, unfriendly, and overall not very pleasant. I first ordered a Banana Foster's Martini, but she came back and said they didn't have the ingredients. No problem--I asked for an Espresso Martini instead. A few minutes later, after bringing everyone else's drinks, she returned and simply said they couldn't make that either and asked if I wanted something else. At that point, I just declined. When it was time to order, our table had nine people. She took my husband's order, then went around the table taking everyone else's order. By the time she got back to me, she said, "Okay, is that it?" I had to remind her that she hadn't taken my order yet. I ordered the crab and corn bisque, a salad, and the stuffed catfish with creamed spinach. The salad came out quickly and was very good. Then everyone else at the table received their meals while I only received my bisque. After waiting, I was told my stuffed catfish "didn't come out right" and had to be remade. At that point, I honestly wondered if it was a joke. It wasn't. By the time my entrée arrived, everyone else was nearly finished eating. To the restaurant's credit, they did remove the stuffed catfish from my bill, and I appreciated that. However, the entire experience left me feeling overlooked from start to finish. My biggest suggestion would be for our waitress to work on her customer service. A smile goes a long way. Saying things like "Give me that plate," slamming cups onto the table, and appearing annoyed throughout the meal doesn't create a welcoming dining experience. Hospitality is just as important as the food, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively.
