"Downtown Baton Rouge restaurant perfect for lunch and dinner." I came here for a date lunch with my husband; it was my second time and my huband's first to dine there. This is the perfect place for either a casual business lunch or an intimate lunch with your special someone. The booth seating is great here! From another review, I read that these create a sense of privacy and they were right! Don't want a large, overwhelming menu? Stroubes is perfect; their menu is simple and does not go on for days. My husband and I always like to share meals, so we had no choice but to order two different dishes. But first, the buttery garlic parmesan bread with a Stroubes salad - mixed greens with spiced candied pecans and blue cheese. My husband ordered the sirloin, which is not always something him or I like to order. We have a fear of it coming out tough. Here though, it was cooked perfectly, even as a well-done steak. The steak held its juiciness, as should all high-quality meats. Another superb dish ordered were the seafood cakes - crawfish, shrimp and crab with bits of corn. The flavors of the seafood cakes were robust and maintained the light, crispy texture even with the hollandaise poured over it. I don't get to have too many sit-down, intimate meals with my husband because we are always running in two different directions. Given that I am a foodie, I always enjoy dishes with personality and wake up my senses. Stroubes is classy and I will be a frequent visitor! read more

My husband and I were staying at a hotel downtown and didn't want to go eat at the restaurant so we placed a to-go- order. I called about 20 minutes before we walked over and the phone conversation went well enough. The missing star is because the person did not tell me how long it would take or the total cost. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a very friendly hostess. She steered is towards the bar to get our order. No problems at all. The food was fantastic. Husband got the 16 oz ribeye, crawfish Mac and cheese. I got the shrimp and grits. We also got an order of the duck and andioulle egg rolls. We would totally go back and eat here again! read more

If your looking for a fine dining experience in a unique building, Stroube's is the place. Per other reviews, food was very good, drinks were spot on and our waiter served our group well. No complaints whatsoever. Our group ordered steak to seafood, appetizers (oysters) along with specialty drinks. Everything was tasty and more or less perfect. Enjoy a dinner or drink here. read more

Just stop for lunch in Baton Rouge to take a look at their old downtown tour of the whole capital building strobes is across the street incredible lunch great salad great corn and crab soup chicken and waffles couldn't be better read more

Went in 20 minutes before they closed and felt pretty bad about it. However, the staff welcomed us in regardless and encouraged us to still take our time eating. We chose the lamb lollipops for an appetizer. I had them cook it medium and it was beyond tender. I had the Louisiana Fresh Catch (Red Fish) blackened over a bed of asparagus and crawfish risotto with jumbo lump crabmeat sherry cream. The combination and presentation was amazing. Couldn't stop chewing from start to finish. The environment was warm and the staff was professional and knowledgable. This was my second time there but I'll be sure to increase my check-ins in the near future. read more

Food was incredible. The matradee obviously did not want to sit my party of 9. On 3/23/19 after a wrestling tournament, we walked in that evening and she told us they can't sit more than a party of 8 and they already had two large parties about to be seated. We told her we were fine splitting up the tables to 4 and 5 and she rambled on about the manager not wanting more than 4 to sit at a table. She insisted that we were not going to be able to be seated and it was the manager who finally sat us in a room separate from the rest of the crowd. We did not have our own waitress. We had the bartender. The bartender was actually an incredible young woman who was being dumped on. We were underdressed. We did not know the attire. We simply wanted to eat somewhere close to our hotel and found this place. There was no indication of a required dress attire. So we were shoved away from everyone and given a busy bartender to be our waitress. She made the experience fantastic for all of us. If it weren't for her, I'd rate this a 1 out of 5 stars. The matradee really set the tone. Your bartender, however, deserves a raise! read more

Kudos to Chef Ross and his team! I wish I could give more than 5 starts to the talented staff and absolutely AMAZING food and service! I am kicking myself for not taking a picture if my last meal which were the crawfish beignets with the fried redfish over crawfish risotto and asparagus and house made hollandaise. Talk about Louisiana on a plate! The get I brought with me fishes often and watched redfish on a regular basis, so I wanted to bring him to a place where I knew he would have the best redfish he would ever have... and they knocked it out of the park! He said it was the best redfish he has tasted (apart from his lol)... the batter wasn't too thick, and it didn't overtake the fish itself. I paired my meal with a Canebrake and he ordered a rye whiskey hot toddy since it was a bit chilly outside. I have also been to Strobe's for their wine dinners, and it's very much worth the price and dive downtown to experience some of the best food on my Top 10! read more

Was excited about having dinner here for the first time but unfortunately it's not worth the visit. Everything was bland. We had calamari had a great crisp but no flavor. The Venetian sauce was good. Pork belly was mediocre at best. I was looking for smoked flavor but no seasoning or any smoking to it. It was horrible. Then on to the steak and potatoes. I asked that my steak be cooked MEd Well but unfortunately it was cold and medium rare. I sent it back to the kitchen and it returned and wasn't anything different. Potatoes were cold and strong in flavor. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff but the food is not desirable. read more

Stroubes - Prime ribeye. Couldn't eat it. - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Outstanding service from Vadim; perfect cocktails (blood orange old fashioned and bourbon Bellini) and the food was so good, our mouths were still watering the day after we dined. We had the steak Oscar style and the duck and both were savory and and cooked to perfection. We finished all of our meals but couldn't leave without dessert-the brûlée was so creamy, you can't go wrong! We can't recommend this place enough! read more

Went there tonight for the first time. What a great experience and atmosphere. Started with the truffle fries as a starter, sea bass as my main, and ended with the bread pudding. All above and beyond. The service was great too. Brandy behind the bar was a great bartender that did not steer me wrong with her recommendations! 5 stars. Will be back! read more

Okay food wasn't terrible by any means but it was not seasoned. The menu items are very unique and there are lots of options. Not too expensive but the seasoning could really be better. Would still recommend maybe the grilled cheese & soup. Heard that's a pretty good combo. I got the pasta was very saucy just not seasoned enough. read more

UPDATE: I've been back here a couple of times and I would like to up my rating to 4 stars because they have changed the menu and the service is fantastic. The portions are small-ish, but flavorful and their happy hour can't be beat with $5 martinis and margaritos (different than a margarita, but I'll let you ask why). Word to the wise, if you go and they have the Strawberry Creme Cake that the chef's wife makes or the Crab Gnocchi, GET THEM BOTH. The cake makes Ambrosia's version look like Betty Crocker and the gnocchi is blissfully decadent with huge chunks of lump crabmeat. read more

I saw roaches there when i went to eat there for lunch! not just one!! I SAW FOUR ROACHES IN THE SPAN OF 15 MINUTES. i had to leave it was disgusting! They treated me very poorly read more

We didn't need a reservation when walking in on a Wednesday night which was nice. But it took forever for the hostess to seat us. We were the only ones waiting, and it must have taken her five minutes to bring us to a table. However, the service once we sat down along with the quality of the food more than made up for the lacking hostess. We started with the Stroubes roll as an appetizer, and it was out of this world! My dining companion got the Beef Bourguignon, and I got the Atlantic salmon. We both left (a little too) full and (very) happy. read more

Had an early dinner here - food was good but not as good as I hoped, the service was very good. I had filet which was a little overdone and wedge salad which was very good but a little overdressed - too much dressing! My husband had black drum which was the special - he said it was very good. read more

One of the best restaurants I've eaten in in my life. Fresh, hot dishes and the best grilled salmon and grilled caesar salad. Hostess and serving staff commended for their friendly welcome. Everything was more than delicious!!!! read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere. The bread pudding is a must ! Ask for Zach to be your server, you won't be sorry!

Sadly not all restaurants will survive these times--this is one of those places. Been here in the past and had an amazing meal but hard risotto, cold crawfish beignets, and pushy service. I don't fault service workers during this time but bad food is bad food. Been living at the watermark down the street all week and have to say their food is better... very disappointed and probably going to be sick :( read more

Very nice restaurant and within walking distance to our hotel. However, the service is very slow. It look 40 minutes for someone to give us water and take our drink order. We split the Stroubes salad and enjoyed the complimentary garlic bread. My husband ordered the burger and it was dry, but the fries were good. I got the Gulf fish with grits and it was delicious. We got the amaretto creme brûlée for dessert and it was delicious. The waitress tried to make up for the delay in service and was very nice, but we will probably try another restaurant next time we are in town. read more

Stroubes - Gulf fish with grits - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

So, not being from the South, I was eager to try something I can't get at home. At my server's suggestion, I ordered the crawfish beignets. They did not disappoint! Generous portions of crawfish with caramelized onions and sriracha aioli. I also ordered the ribeye oscar style (don't judge, i was planning for two meals and will get that and more). A little pricier than my norm, but oh, so worth it! I came early for dinner so the crowd hadn't started yet and the waitstaff was courteous, professional and accommodating, even to each other, which shows mutual respect. Very pleasant experience. read more

I recently visited Stroube's for my Birthday. It was my first time going since the Pandemic started. Since I work near by I have gone there many times over the years. I always enjoyed the crab cakes on the lunch menu and I was looking forward to having them for my Birthday lunch. I was truly disappointed to find out that they no longer served the crab cakes even tough the menu is still on Google. Instead I ordered the crawfish pasta which was just ok. The service was ok even though the server seemed not to be are of correct serving practices. Parking is very difficult but I do enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. I probably won't visit like I have in the past. read more

Great service and excellent atmosphere. Try to go for lunch specials - tasty and cheap for what it is! Photos attached, that's $10! read more

In town for business, and Stroubes was recommended as a good steak. Stroubes was absolutely a great dinner. We started with the Duck/andouille egg rolls. Wow, amazing, great filling and great sauces for compliments. For the main course the others had steak, but I had the grilled gulf fish(grouper) with smoked gouda grits, Brussels sprouts, and crawfish topping. The meal was delicious. For dessert we had the bread pudding with caramelized praline sauce. From service, to local, to the food, highly recommend. read more

The calamari was my favorite; it was fried perfectly. The crawfish beignets were also very delicious with a creaminess from the cream cheese. I was somewhat disappointed in the duck and andouille egg rolls. The shrimp and grits were very flavorful. The gulf fish was mahi-mahi, and it was great in combination with the Gouda grits and crawfish. I loved the filet mignon with the Oscar-style topping! Overall, I was delighted with the service. The waitress was very kind and helpful with choosing appetizers! I will be returning! read more

Me and my gf came to Baton Rouge for a Lil getaway weekend and I tell you what this place right here was amazing, we still talk about the crabmeat gnocchi it may be the best gnocchi I've ever had and I have eaten at plenty fine Italian places. I had the seared duck and my gf had the filet both fine choices, service was great! read more

I went here for my birthday celebration and was not pleased at all. First the menu online is not the same when you get there, 2nd my sea bass was ice cold when arrived, 3rd the waitress didn't even mention or offer something for my grand son only fries and later when we left we found out there were colors for kids which she didn't offer, 4th there is nothing for a vegan to eat except fruit and the restaurant was not that busy to say the waitress was not attentive and gone for long periods of time. At the end I didn't eat anything as I was displeased with my entree served cold. I don't recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or evening dinner. read more

I occasionally work at the courthouse down the street from Stroube's and I was looking for a new place to grab lunch after eating at Sadaf's and Roly Poly for the past few weeks. I walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender was incredibly friendly, and he offered me a drink of my choice after sending my order over to the kitchen staff. I ordered the crawfish pasta with a side Caesar salad, and the bartender made sure to throw in a fresh baguette with my order. On top of that, my food was absolutely to die for and perfectly reasonable at $20 for the amount of food I was given. I even had enough leftovers for a full, delicious lunch the next day. I'll definitely be returning to Stroube's on my next lunch break! read more

Best lemon drop martinis anywhere. Also the Redfish on the menu is superb. Ask for Scott for a server read more

I Showed up with a party of 6 to an almost empty restaurant and couldn't believe the treatment from the hostess. I was informed on my entry that they had to keep the tables open for reservations but that we could sit at the bar. I counted over 4 tables along with 12-14 booths available. While I understand that reservations should come first instead of a walk-in, the treatment was horrible this was the second chance at this establishment and I don't think I will be back. In a struggling business environment for bars and restaurants the front of the house should be more accommodating. read more

Attempted to have dinner here last night. Had reservations at 8:30, and started well enough with drinks at the lovely bar. Went downhill from there - wound up being literally THE WORST experience I have ever had in any restaurant - and I do not say that lightly. Upon being seated, no one came to our table for 20 minutes. Not even water. We were seated near the kitchen, so almost everyone on duty walked by us at some point. I got up to see if anyone cared to wait on us and a very pleasant waiter came and took our order and brought us drinks right away. Our 1 appetizer came right away - chicken egg rolls which were harmless enough. From then on - nothing. Literally. After waiting 50 minutes for salads - the waiter apologetically said he had no idea when the food would be out as a 22 person party was ahead of us. Apparently, it was the first large party they ever served. Salads came over 1 hour later. The manager - a very nervous, very young man explained that he could give us no assurance that any food would be forthcoming any time less that 30 minutes later. Incredible - I have never heard of a restaurant that would say such things out loud. We left and ordered take out from a more reliable place. It was a completely embarrassing evening. Astonishing incompetence in every way. I generally do not write reviews, but this was literally unbelievable. From a place that seemed to have a great reputation. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for a fine dining experience in Baton Rouge. Chuck Klous read more

Salmon was raw and the dish was dumbly contrived. Went there for a quick meal and drinks and both of our meals were inedible.

I had high hopes for Stroubes but was disappointed. The waitress was friendly. The food was mediocre. Our soup and entree were barely warm. Our medium rare steak had been kissed by the grill, and had to be sent back. It was all just meh. read more

As I rolled into town, I was tired... Twelve hours in route to Baton Rouge... Dinner was arranged by my peer Bernadette at the Stroubes Chophouse... Ed was our waiter and a consummate professional.

I visited for happy hour... Drinks were $7 and appetizers were $5... Really expensive for such a modern/chic atmosphere The food was good especially the crawfish macaroni. In addition to the pasta the drinks exceeded my expectations. First I had a Strawberry Basil Smash... it was a thirst quencher. However, it was only upstaged by a Pineapple martini it was light cheerful and delicious. I'm going back!! read more

Excellent food and service. Great wine list. I had the turtle soup, this was my first experience with turtle soup; it was thick like the broth of a stew and very flavorful. For my entree I had the duck, which was cooked to perfection. Bonus, Antonio Sabato Jr. was sitting at the bar, enjoying a libation. read more

Stroubes - Duck Louisiane - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Good steakhouse that I'm very glad I gave a second chance. My first experience my steak was very overdone. This time I was convinced to try the duck. It was excellent. The skin was crispy and the duck juicy. Paired with grits and spinach it worked well. It was a little heavy with the cherry but it worked out. Highly recommend the lamb lollipops. I think I will just order those as a meal in the future. The crawfish and creamcheese balls (similar to pistollette but the name escapes me) were quite good as well. The andouille and duck wraps were just ok and not very flavorful. Our service as walking was very good. If I could this would be 3.5. read more
