Cecelia Creole Bistro…read more 421 N 3rd St Suite B, Baton Rouge, LA 70802 IG: Tonylameats Restaurant Week at Cecilia Creole Bistro did NOT disappoint! Everything was flawless! From the creamy crab & brie soup and deviled eggs with tasso jam to crispy duck rangoon, tender smoked beef cheeks (my personal favorite), and that mahi mahi étouffée-style risotto! And don't sleep on dessert; every bite was a win! #TonyLaMeats #RestaurantWeekBR #BatonRougeEats #FoodieFinds #CreoleCuisine

I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It was giving date night vibes and romance for sure! The…read morelights were dimmed and the restaurant was very small and cozy. We took our mom here for her birthday in early June. The service was okay at this restaurant. There was nothing that stood out in particular about the service, it was pretty average. The food at this restaurant all tasted great. I tried their fried green tomatoes appetizer as well as their golden fried alligator which was delicious. I got the jerk fried chicken with red beans and rice and smoked sausage for my entree and it was good. I was expecting my chicken to be spicy or to at least taste like jerk seasoning but it didn't at all. It was more like a BBQ sauce with no heat at all. The menu was also very lacking to me, we all felt that it was missing items or needed more. I wish there was more of a variety of items to choose from especially for those allergic to shellfish or vegetarian.

AMAZING food!! I had Boudin Balls and Crawfish Etouffe (HUGE serving!!!) Simply awesome! Rest of…read morethe fam had shrimp po boys and fried catfish w red batter. Everyone LOVED it all!

They're really cutting corners. I get it, times are rough. The Pontchartrain used to be worth the…read more$33 price tag but now that is served with only a few slivers of crabmeat and they took the away the stuffed potato side, it's a $28 meal at best. Go look at my pictures on this site and you can see the same dish only a few years apart. It's a dramatic change that came with a higher price. They took away the part that justified the price. My suggestion is to just take it off the menu until things get better. I heard some other people rumbling about changes that have been made, but I still have hope.

This is one of my favorite places to stop off of I10 inside a truckstop. I'm vegetarian but my…read moredaughters love their chicken and I enjoy their crispy fries. Seating area to the side. Better than truckstop food. There's also truck parking here for a few. Never came and couldn't find a spot. Then wake up and grab breakfast.

One of the top meals of my life. The seafood post pie was mind blowing. My husband has the fried…read morechicken with red beans and rice...the flavor was chefs kiss and the chicken was cooked unbelievably. It was perfection. We also enjoyed the crawfish queso and would recommend but it should have been a bit warmer (we had it with crostini). We took the pie to go and not home yet. Lol. Absolutely worth the hype. Well done.

Easiest the best dinner I've had this year. Elsie's is living with cozy ambiance and warm service…read more The menu ranges from sweet to savory and features every pie I know of and a few more, look a little further down and you'll find a stellar selection of melts salads and sandwiches. Flip it over they've got such great mains my only complaint is I could hardly make up my mind on what to order. Thankfully our server Enola was happy to walk us through our decision making and lead us through a wonderful experience 10/10 no notes.

You walk in, place your order at the counter then find a table. They bring your food out to you and check on you throughout. Service is pretty good The food here is good! So good that we visited them two days in a row lol. Both times I ordered the shrimp platter. First time I got the regular size and got the large the second. The shrimp are huge and fried well. Seasoned too! I loved the coleslaw too. The fries were standard fare but were hot and good. Now you see why I ordered the large platter second time. I wanted more shrimp lol. I also ordered the bread pudding the second time and it was melt in your mouth goodness. I didn't have room to eat it all so happily shared it with those in my party. The gentleman who checks you out at the end is the sweetest, funniest guy. Don't know if he's the owner but he helped cap off the great food.

Elegant and clean. The hostess and waitress were very polite and professional. I wanted to enjoy a local dish and beer. I ordered the Redfish entree and let me tell you, "It was delicious!" I would highly recommend this restaurant. The entree selection is good. From meats, fish, and poultry. The also have a huge selection of wines and cocktails available.

Servers make your experience memorable and you want to go back! We stopped in to have a drink and looked at the menu because we were having dinner there with the bowling group. Then we decided to go back for happy hour and we had the amazing egg rolls. Our filet was Oscar style and so delicious and the baked Brie was outstanding! They were nice enough to bring extra bread toast for us. It was an elegant dinner they did include the gratitude for each couple which is understandable but nice to do separate checks. We went back for happy hour on Friday but closed for Easter weekend, we were sad to miss you! See you next time!!

When I first saw the name on the wall before the place opened I was expecting some sort of thai fusion super hot wing or tabasco factory type place. I could not have been more wrong. Hot stuff is a super unique place in Downtown BR. It reminds me of a spot you would find somewhere in acadiana. Solid lunch specials and damn good breakfast. Need I say more? Should you drive from somewhere to eat here? Maybe. If you are in Downtown should you eat here? Absolutely. In fact, a breakfast here is a good start for a Downtown tour.
