I've only ate at Stroubes during lunch but it is delicious every time. They have a daily lunch special but my favorite is the Tuesday special which is a fried pork cutlet, mashed potatoes and green beans with andouille. The special also comes with a side salad. I also enjoy their fish protein option and the hamburger steak. Stroubes is a great option if you have a business lunch meeting or if you just want a nice atmosphere for a sit-down lunch. read more

Nice atmosphere and food is good but significantly overpriced, with too many other (better&cheaper) places to go around Baton Rouge. What got me was at the end, I paid for my brothers as well and noticed our server decided to increase his tip from 18% to 20% ... read more

Stroubes - Server decided to increase his tip from 18% to 20% - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I came here with my work group and was really disappointed on a Tuesday evening. We ordered a variety of appetizers, drinks, entrees, and dessert. The drinks took over 15 minutes to come out and the restaurant didn't look busy at all! From the time we sat down to the moment we received our entree, 2 hours had gone by! I ordered a medium rare steak which was cooked medium well but since it had already taken 2 hours, I didn't bother sending it back. At most nice steakhouses, the waitstaff will ask to cut into the steak to ensure it's cooked properly but that didn't happen here. They even forgot to bring out an entree for one of my coworkers! Throughout the evening, my water cup stayed empty too. I was surprised because the place really wasn't that busy! The only reason I didn't go with 1-Star is that the desserts and appetizers were really good. I got my dessert to go though since I had already been there for 3 hours. There are way too many good restaurants in Baton Rouge to bother with a place like this. read more

Awesome food. although I've only had their happy hour bar menu, their small plates and specialty drinks are wonderful. Layla is one of the best bartenders you could hope to get, and from talking to the regulars their management knows how to run a restaurant and treat their employees right. read more

Came for Mother's Day! Our food was amazing. Didn't care for the Caesar salad though.. read more

Stroubes - Beef Bourguignon - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The Mahi Mahi was simply divine! It was paired with bacon brussel sprouts and gouda cheese grits (my new fav)! The grapefruit martini was perfect! Devon was our server and she was so sweet and informative. We will most definitely be back when we visit Baton Rouge. read more

We had reservations for Saturday evening and were seated promptly. It took a while for the server to appear but all was well after that. We used a Groupon for the prix fixe menu. BBQ shrimp and grits, boeuf bourguigon, Duck Louisiane. All was delicious and we had to box some for later. My husband complimented the duck dish and Chef Mark Reilly came to our table to thank him. A very pleasant meal in a great setting. We will return ! read more

I have yet to leave a negative review on Yelp but there is a first time for everything. No, I am not a disgruntled eater who bitches about everything. Pretty much the opposite as a matter of fact. It was so bad that I am not going to go into every aspect. Just the highlights. Waiter literally throws our appetizer down and walks off. Ummm, excuse me but we don't have plates or silverware. Pointed this out to passing manager who made the waiter come back to our table and apologize like a grade schooler. Awkward. Steak comes out cold. Not warm mind you. COLD. Then they put it back on the grill and over cooked it. Brought me a drink that was supposed to be a Manhattan. Not sure what it was but it wasn't that. It's three ingredients. Not hard. Had to ask for utensils a second time so we could eat main course. Basically one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had. Sides of blue cheese grits and spinach were great. But not $150 great to put up with the other shenanigans. read more

The food was amazing! More amazing:: The service! Dan, Vadim, & Alexandra- to say they were incredible would be an understatement. They went above and beyond and were phenomenal. They were our servers for a 3 course prix fixe meal (still needed to take orders from various choices on said meal), as well as appetizers and alcohol for THIRTY NINE people. Not once was there an empty water/tea glass. For that matter was there rarely an empty wine glass!! Can't account for those who drank the wine as soon as it was poured :). These 3 servers were unbelievable in their attentiveness, professionalism, speed, and spot on customer service. At no time did any of the 39 guests want for anything. Dan, Vadim, and Alexandra truly made the evening even better!! I thoroughly tip my hat to these 3. {insert cheers & applause here} As for the food..... sweet, savory, and visually appealing. We offered 2 salads, 3 main courses, and 2 desserts. The main courses were: salmon, duck, and steak. I can attest that the duck was delectable cooked to medium rare perfection. It was served in a cranberry reduction sauce with spinach and Gouda cheese grits. And we are talking about the good, thick, stone ground grits. The duck was not too fatty and a very decent portion. My table of about 15 had no complaints on the rest of the meals. I'm fairly confident their experience was as good as mine. And the desserts. Holy mouthwatering Batman! Again, my experience is with the white chocolate bread pudding. Once again I was provided a healthy portion size and it was delicious. Not too soggy and you could really taste the flavors. I will miss not having that readily accessible as I do not live in Baton Rouge. The other dessert was a full serving of chocolate mousse. I Failed to hear any complaints about that dish either. Though- I didn't hear anything because everyone was stuffing their face!! Overall this place was amazing!! Next time you're in town be sure to stop by for a full, satisfying meal both with the food and the fantabulous service. read more

Went one Friday night and it was surprisingly empty. I ordered the ribeye done medium with a side of spinach. The steak was charred way too much on the outside. Every bite tasted burnt. The parts that I could avoid that were good. The spinach was good, but just a lot of butter. My gf got the Mahi mahi which was good, but I would rather go to parrains or another seafood restaurant. The atmosphere was reasonable and service was decent. Quite pricey for the quality of food and service l. Probably won't go again. read more

Stroubes is a great reason to come downtown! Parking downtown isn't really a hassle, if there isn't anything curbside there's always the parking garage a block away. I love the décor of the place, it's modern but the brick walls help soften the look. The bar is small but functional, bathrooms are nice, and the wall of windows are great for people watching while you eat! We sat in a booth last night and couldn't even tell we had neighbors, very cozy! Normally we don't go out on weeknights but it was my birthday. My husband had given this bit of info to the hostess who passed it on to our server and it ended up getting us a free dessert which was very sweet (pun intended?). Our server was Sarah and she was very good. For dinner we split the app of Abita BBQ Shrimp & Grits, I had the Caesar salad and my husband had the bleu cheese wedge, and for our entrees I had a 6 oz filet with a bacon demi-glace and he had the yellowfin tuna. Everything was delicious, all of their salad dressings are housemade, which I love. We brought our own wine, the corkage fee is $12. Our dessert was the chocolate pots de crème, delicious! We never felt rushed, the service never lagged, it was just right. A great place to come for a date night or special occasion. We've been here previously a couple times, once for a large party and I remember the service and food being great then, too! read more

Was not a fan of this place. They try REAL hard to be an upscale restaurant but fall short in many areas. I asked for a red bull and vodka and the waitress says they don't keep red bull anymore because the employees kept stealing them. Well, FIX that. Then she says that the bar is behind, which was a sign of things to come. The food was OK, but for the price it should have been much better. My wife had the redfish, I think it was pan fried. It was bland in my opinion. It does not live up to La. food. read more

Overall a very nice experience. Our reservation was for 7 pm on a Monday night and were greeted upon arrival and seated promptly at a table next to the wall of glass overlooking Third St. Very nice modern decor that mixed nicely with the old building. After a couple of cocktails we were treated to a delicious gnocchi and crab appetizer with a brown butter cream sauce and sweet corn that the chef was working on for an upcoming James Beard dinner. We followed that with the fried calamari and foie gras appetizers. The calamari was nice and crunchy and the foie gras was like an adult version of peanut butter and jelly. Very, very good. A few more cocktails and we finally ordered our entrees. I had the ribeye topped with the blue cheese mushroom sauce and parmesan risotto. The partner had a filet with lump crab and the lobster mac-n-cheese. All dishes were delicious and generously sized. Steak temps were perfect. They have a very nice beer and wine list at reasonable prices with lots of wine by the glass and some great beer selections. (Not Chimes selection but still..) We rounded off the meal with a dessert of mixed berrys in a sort of white chocolate sabayon, although I was surprised that they only had two desserts that night and I really wanted something a bit more decadent. We ordered a Fonseca port and Nocello to go with dessert and unfortunately they only had ruby port not tawny. Oh well. The drinks were nice and strong as well and our waiter kept them filled all night. Great time and we'll definitely be going back. The service was efficient and unobtrusive. read more

Very good. 6 oz. filet mignon was a wonderful piece of meat, cooked a perfect medium and spiced with the perfect amount of salt and pepper for my taste. White wine and garlic spinach was delicious with big chunks of garlic and a not too overpowering wine sauce. Server Toafa was efficient, professional and personable. read more

Another Amazing Restaurant in 225 Trade! loacted perfectly downtown near hotel indigo that I stay at .

My new favorite restaurant in town. The chef makes some of the most flavorful meals we've ever had. The duck and andouille appetizers are awesome. My wife had the duck and I had the beef bourguignon and they were solid. The flavors that you will taste will blow you away. We finished strong with the bread pudding. Trust me y'all you will leave here very happy. PS the Sequoia Cab is very oaky and amazing as well. Rated 4.2 out of 5 on my Vivino app read more

Easily the best restaurant in Baton Rouge. Head Chef Scott Varnedoe is head & shoulders above any chef in the area. He's cooked at the James Beard House twice in the last few years and recently did a tapas and beer pairing at Stroube's with Abita. They offer affordable lunch specials, and 50 cent oysters, $2 Abita during happy hour The menu is expansive, from foie gras to red beans and rice. I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

They dont have foie gras anymore. Their menu here in yelp needs to be updated. We ordered the duck entree, wild mushroom rissotto, mac&cheese, duck&andouille, and steak. They were all ok nothing special. The complimentary bread is the only thing that tasted good. We asked for truffle oil for the steak but They only have A1 sauce for steak sauce, and they call this restaurant fancy?lol Server seemed like she did not want to serve us. I would never come back to this place. read more

Met downtown and decided to try happy hour; it was exceptional. Wonderful bar staff and the food and drinks were fantastic. The fried calamari was some of the best I've had... as good as being in the Florida panhandle. We will certainly be back. read more

So far I've dined at Stroubes 3 times, thanks to my sweet honey. Once for dinner, once on a walking dinner tour of downtown BR (which everyone should try), and then Thursday night for taste of the house. Superb. Taste of the house was such a wonderful dining experience. First off, the atmosphere is most perfect. Open windows, candle lit tables- just beautiful. The wait staff was so attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. The course size was more than enough for me and my boyfriend as we decided to skip the fish course and move to dessert (because who can forgo dessert?!). We we so full but well prepared for sweets. :) The chef came around twice to introduce himself and check on us. Terrific experience. I look forward to many more romantic date nights here! read more

I took my girlfriend here on a date night and we were blown away. We started with the Crab, Corn, and Brie soup as well as an order of Crawfish Beignets. The soup was so good that I was scared that my girlfriend was going to pick up the soup bowl and drink it. The beignets were incredible and the bacon jam was a fantastic compliment. She got the filet mignon, I got the redfish. I think we both left saying that it was the best fish/steak we have ever had. The bread pudding is a must if you are looking at dessert. I also ordered the strawberry basil smash cocktail and was blown away. Such a wonderful restaurant. The open windows make for a great lunch vibe and a romantic dinner setting. Desiree was such a wonderful server. She deserves a drink on the house! read more

I'm so thankful that I found this place on Yelp for my one night in town. The happy hour was amazingly tasty and a great value, in total I had 3 large appetizers, a glass of delicious wine, and a dessert for less than $40 including tax and tip. Definitely seek this place out and get everything, it's all incredible! read more

I've been inBaton Rouge for four days and have eaten here for lunch and or dinner every day for two reasons; 1 it is probably the most upscale of the restaurants in a two block radius of my hotel, and 2 they make a few things really well. Tip 1- skip the ribeye, at $36 you can do better with the bone in. Mine was ok. Tip 2- do try the chargrilled oysters. Prepared with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese and served on a bed of rock salt, you may think it's going to be a cold dish, but it is perfectly warm. Excellent flavor and perfect oyster chewiness. Tip 3- try the lamb lollipops. Three pieces of rack of lamb over a delicious mound of garlic and white wine braised spinach. Super juicy, and you will want to pick up the bone and bite off the meat you could not daintily remove with your knife and fork. Tip 4- do try the Caesar salad with fried oysters. I passed on the croutons and cherry tomatoes. Very simple, but the oysters make it awesome and Baton Rougey (it's a word now, deal with it). Tip 5- if you don't try the creamy brie sauce then you are insane. Dip your meat in it, dip your bread in it. Dip your salad in it. Whatever you do eat it Of note, I've had really attentive service every time. I'm particularly a fan of the bartender who clearly relishes the art of mixology. He talked me into the "basiled greyhound"- house made basil vodka, white grapefruit juice, and basil. It's like a mint julep or a mojito, but more savory and less sweet. It was perfect and pleasant, just like his customer service. read more

My wife and I dined over Valentine's day weekend. The atmosphere was very intimate and the service was attentive. I ordered the New York strip and my wife had the special which was an 8oz filet over a lobster cake with a cheese sauce. Both steaks were cooked medium as requested. Our dinners were both great and the bread was really good as well. A little pricey but was expected. We will definitely be back when we return to the area. read more

Stroubes - 8oz filet special over lobster cake - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I studied the Yelp reviews before going to this Stroubes. All the photos on Yelp don't lie. The food is amazing. Everything is better than good, it is excellent. We tried about 9 different appetizers. The chef has a great ability to create some incredible sauces for each dish. The ambiance is quiet, the service is excellent, and the food is awesome; what else is there? If we were going to stay more than one night, we would have gone back again. Also, a shout out to Desiree, our waitress, who is excellent at her job, knowledgable, and exactly what a 20 year veteran in the hospitality biz (me) hopes to get each time they go out to eat. Kudos! read more

Great food and I love the atmosphere. Service is always awesome and I've never had a complaint. Always stop here when I'm in town for LSU home games in the fall. Must haves: The char-broiled oysters, the filet mignon, the duck & Andouille eggrolls, and the baby back ribs... read more

This was my first time dining at Stroubes, so I really didn't know what to expect. I had heard great things, but I wanted to see for myself. I LOVED everything about it! First of all,this is an upscale restaurant, so dress accordingly. The atmosphere and ambience is amazing. The high ceilings and large booths really make you feel like you have stepped into a place in New York City. The food was incredible. I went with a friend and we decided we were going to indulge. We started with the Stroubes Roll which was delicious. I actually think I might eat this as my meal next time. I had the Crab, Corn and Brie soup which I loved and the Duck la Louisiana for my entree. Not only was the food delicious, the presentation was wonderful. My friend ordered the Caesar salad, turtle soup and Filet Oscar. The salad and Filet were wonderful, but neither of us were fans of the turtle soup. It was thick and actually tasted like chili. The service was excellent and very attentive. It was a refreshing place to dine in downtown Baton Rouge, and in Baton Rouge in general. I can't wait to go back and try something else. I would definitely recommend before going to an event at the River Center or Shaw Center. Both were easily in walking distance. We were able to park, eat and walk to the River Center Theatre for the symphony easily. read more

If you want to be unattended you may visit this place. I will never consider this restaurant even as an option. read more

Recently went for a cutesy romantic dinner to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. The food was amazing. I loved everything from the bread down to the duck and grits. Top 3 restaurants I've been to since I moved here. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because, I didn't expect a loud crowd to be sitting right next to us. I couldn't even hear what my girlfriend was saying because, every five minutes one of them was standing up to make a speech and then the rest of the table, about 20 ppl would clap and cheer. I was unaware that this was that type of setting. It was clearly work related but, still have some respect for ppl around you. read more

Loved the food, didn't care for our server. Tried a few times to get him to talk about the place, but just shook his head and walked off. Also his timing was awful to take our order and then picking up our bill to be paid, waited probably 20. The entire dining experience took 2 hours for 2 people. The food was amazing though, I'd go back if I had a different person waiting on us. read more

I had dinner at Stroubes Seafood and Steak. Sometimes the service makes the food. I had a pork Porterhouse steak, it was fair. The drinks were wonderful. The price for the food was reasonable but the service was priceless. Oh... you have to try the bread pudding desert but with pecans, I customized the desert... to die for. My compliments to Scott Ewing for a job well done. Whatever they are paying you, it's not enough. read more

Stoubes is a great downtown restaurant in Baton Rouge. If you are int he area for Live After 5, a performance at the Manship, or just in the mood to eat downtown, this is a solid option. I usually order the Porterhouse and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent and they have a great dessert selection. Be prepared to pay a little more than you would for a casual restaurant. read more

Went there with a party of 7 tonight. Since I didn't taste our compadres' meals my rating is based on the quality of the food for wife and I, and service for the whole table. First off, impressions of service that pertain to the whole group, Asked the waiter to bring us a good $55 red wine. He came back with an "off menu" Z that was killer and well received by all (2) wine drinkers. Waiter, he was attentive and considering the group size, did a very good job. As for the food, my Gouda grits were killer, Wedge salad was good, not great, 6oz filet was very good, not as good as the best in our hometown (Dallas) but also not as expensive. Wife's oysters, ate ever morsel, not a shred left in the shells, ditto her asparagus. Can't say the same for the overly salty gumbo but it was taken off our bill so no biggie. Very rich and tasty!! but too salty. Desserts were great, bread pudding one of the better examples around, and very good creme brulee. All in all a fine upscale addition to the downtown BR dining scene. read more

One of the best upscale restaurants in BR. The location is great being downtown but their food is very unique and very good. It has Louisiana influenced cuisine but they have a lot of dishes I've never had or even heard of that are very good. I went with a full party and have a taste of many different dishes but my favorite was the double down pork read more

My wife, Daughter and I love Stroubes. We have eaten here numerous times and have never had a bad experience. Food and service are always great. read more

The place is quite upscale, especially on a Saturday night. Going in with jeans on, I felt a little out of place, but it was a last minute decision. Here is what my table had Ceasar salad + Duck la Louisiane - Both items were fantastic! Crawfish Mac n Cheese + Filet - Same, both were awesome. The steak was beautifully cooked and melted in your mouth. Frenchied Pork chop + Stroubes Salad - DELICIOUS Smoked plank Salmon (I think that's what the menu said) - Wonderful! So, I'd recommend all of these things. If I go again, I'm definitely getting one of the bisques, because the neighboring table got some, and the smell was out of this world. Such a classy place. My only complaint was that most of our food was kind of room-temperature when we got it. This was probably our waiter's fault, but he made up for it by being helpful and extremely polite. read more

We had a great experience here recently! Try the gnocchi for an appetizer: the sauce was nice and creamy. I got the 9 oz. filet cooked medium rare. While it was good, it didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked, which is the reason for 4 stars. The sides are big enough for two people to share, so I would recommend getting a couple to share: asparagus and mushroom risotto were really good. I also enjoyed the mac and cheese. Definitely get the bread pudding for dessert! They caramelize the sugar so it gives it a bit of a crunch mid bite; so worth the extra calories! I would come back here for a special occasion or a company meal. read more

Came from California hoping to try great Louisiana food and were served extremely salty gumbo that was way overpriced. I will say that the beignets are super good and our waitress was super friendly, but as far as maim courses, overpriced and salty. read more

I went during the week and it was a nice night. I had the red fish, which was good, but it was a tad bit salty. I love seasoned food but do not like salty food. The waiter was nice and attentive. The white chocolate bread pudding was amazing. I would recommend toning down on the salt. read more
