    Re-done Pad See Eew
    C R.

    The only reason this place is getting at least a 3 is because my friend likes this place and says our experience was not typical of what it's been like for her in the past. Since she likes this spot I won't totally downvote it. Also, she liked her food. But if I was solely basing it off of my own experience, I'd give them a 2! When we arrived there were maybe 12 people in the place. Not full, but clearly too much for a single person to attend to efficiently. There was only one young guy taking all the orders , bringing the food, bussing the tables, and taking the checks. He had an adorable little girl who was also helping (she's another reason the rating isn't lower--she was a darling!) The guy was pleasant, but it took a long time to even take our order. Then to bring our food. We even had to ask for utensils. I sent my food back because my pad see ew had black pepper on it which I've never seen before. I tried it and it tasted "ashy" for lack of better word. I THOUGHT it was the pepper--but the second dish which appeared not to have the pepper in/on it still tasted ashy. I'm thinking that perhaps their flying pan was kind of burned/ashy. It wasn't pleasant. Also there was a whole peanut in my dish. My friend liked her food though.

    Food was great and for a great price. Service was very nice and attentive. Ambiance inside was very chill, neat and clean. Definitely will return!!

    Ginger Delight with chicken
    John L. H.

    If you ask for Thai hot, prepare for a delicious and hurtful meal. I have never understood people who enjoy pain. But then I realized that I like Thai hot food. Am I one of those people? There is no telling but your boy sure loves him some incredibly hot Thai food. The server looked at me with a little side eye when I ordered my food that way. But Thai hot I asked for and Thai hot is what I received. Hell yes! Bring on the heat. Thai Pepper is an incredibly popular lunch spot in BR. So popular that when we went here we saw like five other people from work here. Despite being packed, service was friendly and we received our food quickly. My entre was Ginger delight with chicken. Get this. How they were able to blend the magical flavor of all the spices and have a heat level of 1000 is impressive. If you like heat and flavor, get this. If you like flavor and no heat, get this but keep it mild. If you are wondering just how hot Thai hot was, my sinuses were completely clear, my face was red, and I was sweating like I had just walked into a Catholic Church. It was awesome and I can't wait to go back.

    Pad see ew with tofu
    Ellery D.

    This is authentic Thai food. Weird, creepy location, but well worth it. Would go back should I find myself in the area. I tried veggie spring rolls and pad see ew with tofu. I took them to go, and they packed the spring rolls with a clever technique, cutting the corners out of the go-box, which allowed the steam to escape and kept them from losing their crunch! They come with a tasty dipping sauce, too. The pad see ew was delightfully savory with tons of flavor and the veggies were cooked just right. It was a little spicier than I'm used to, but I did ok with it. Been avoiding spice because of stomach issues. The portions were quite respectable--I saw other diners eating, and everyone had a heaping mound of food on their plate. The ambiance is nice; I'll eat there next time. It also looks like it's frequented by the local Thai population, which I took to be an extra badge of authenticity.

    Some great food. Service was nice and it's a small family place. Definitely among the top choices for Thai food in town.

    Sizzling peanut butter
    Rex E.

    One of my absolute fav local places to eat. My go to is always the sizzling peanut with chicken, and it's to die for. Also great options are the pad Thai, sour soup, and fried rice. The service is impeccable, the owner is so sweet! And the ambiance of the building is immaculate. It's a smaller restaurant, and the interior is this beautiful wood paneling that's so calming to be surrounded by when you're eating your meal.

    I love this place!!! I just recently discovered it and had fantastic service!! Staff was so kind and incredibly quick with our food. The food was delicious and some of the best thai I have had in BR. I will absolutely be back.

    Are they still open? No answer on phone 3 different days.

    I ordered food from Thai Pepper about 2 weeks ago. They are closed from 2:00 to 4:00 everyday. Ever since COVID hit and they close their buffet, all food is a la carte.… 

    Is the buffet open?

    Last time I went it was not . We went in December

Apparently, they have an annual limited fixed-price menu ($48) with excellent options over three courses. Unfortunately that option was not available when we dined here in early November. So we went for the pimento cheese balls and I ordered the soup de jour which was a butternut squash bisque. Both items were savory and delicious. The pimento cheese balls is fried and served over some hibiscus pepper jelly which gives a nice sweet kick to the creaminess of the cheese. The bisque is creamy and has a nutty squash punch. We loved both very much! For entrees, I debated between the pork chop and sous vide rabbit. I went with the rabbit since I never had rabbit before (weird right?) and I'm glad I went with it. The rabbit has a nice crispy texture with a gamey taste yet the meat was quite tender when cutting into it. The apple chutney compliments the rabbit well and the butternut squash side and purple cabbage garnish make it a well-rounded dish. My friend/coworker ordered the grilled gulf fish which comes with a creamy risotto. The fish is super tender and pairs well with the risotto with an olive oil finish. We were both satisfyingly stuffed from our meal although we wish we saved room for dessert. Definitely next time! They have an extensive wine and cocktail list. The Strawberry Oaxacan is a favorite along with the Kiwi Daquiri due to the exotic fruit flavors. Sadly I couldn't snap any pictures as I was caught up in sipping my Century Oak Zinfandel. I'm glad they have a Red Zinfandel which is my preferred wine of choice as it's easy to sip and not as full-bodied. Gotta give my friend props for bringing me here. We're already talking about coming here again next time I have an assignment in Baton Rouge. I can't wait!

First Impressions: This place is NICE. When I got the chance to look around it is the perfect first date spot for *anybody*. The menu is diverse for a Pizzeria. They even have a chef selected Salumi Board. In the end we split a Sensation salad(which is the best I've had), Calamari Fritti, Carnosa and Mushroom Medley. The Good: Our server was Andrea. She was outstanding. She did her best to take care of us and in the end she went above and beyond with her service. The Calamari was ok but seemed to be more breaded than actual Protein. The first thing that came to mind when I tried the Marinara was "Fresh". It tasted like it was obviously done that morning. The Not So Good: When Andrea took our order she made it a point to tell us that she would space out our order. That didn't happen. And she told us the kitchen didn't follow her orders. Everything came seconds from each other. I understand a sense of urgency because the parking lot is always full and they want to push the crowds in a way where the next wave can have a place to park...But the restaurant wasn't even full. The Parking lot was but there were plenty of tables available. In the end we felt Serve and Burned. The Pizza: The char on the doh was great. I love a good fired oven pizza. But the pizza itself didn't seem like it was cooked all the way through. When I picked up a slice it just flopped down. My wife's pizza was dry. She ended up asking if they had any kind of garlic butter. And Andrea understood the assignment. She came back with the Shrimp Scampi sauce it ended up making it seem to be the one thing the Mushroom Medley needed all along. (I 100% Recommend it.) My pizza was ok, but only when the 3 slices I took a bite of had all of the toppings on them. Less than half of the pizza had Pepperoni on it. I did not get the impression that this was something that happens all the time so we will be back. I would still recommend this place to everybody.
