Another true Gem of Baton Rouge, this is the second location it's expanded from once on Nicholson drive near LSU and now it's nestled on Airline highway near the main strip. The service has always been spot on which makes me return on a consistent basis. The food is always FRESH and made to order so don't worry about getting old cold food. The decor makes you feel as though you are on the island getaway without leaving home. The bar produces so of the most beautiful drinks and they taste great. My favorites are the lamb chops that are cooked to perfection and the beef oxtails. When it comes to appetizers honey pepper chicken bites and the beef patties always call my name. The chef and and his family are loving and very inviting as if they invited you to their home for a delicious meal. I will return and hope to work my way through trying the entire menu. read more

Oh my goodness where do I begin!! So I only ordered because I dined in years ago when they were located on LSU campus off Nicholson Dr. and they literally rolled out the red carpet it was a great experience! But this visit was horrible, the bartender wasn't rude or necessarily welcoming but I wasn't focused on him I just wanted my food. Going in with high expectations I was completely let down especially after purchasing 4 meals to go. It was extremely over seasoned and the rice was gummy it wasn't good at all. The greens were super salty and my fish was hard. Everyone I purchased food for was dissatisfied a totally waste of money!! We threw it all away it was completely inedible. I'm so upset!! My friends are about to order pizza just to have a meal before bed. Over $100 worth of food in the trash! read more

I went back to try the new location and the $25 Summertime menu. It was practically empty at lunchtime. We were greeted and seated immediately. The spot was clean and the server was friendly. We decided on the Jerk Eggrolls for the appetizer, jerk chicken with Mac and cheese and pork chop with cabbage. The jerk eggrolls were decent. I've had better in Baton Rouge. The entrees were awful!! The jerk chicken and pork chop were both drenched in a brown gravy. Taste just wasn't there! The Mac and cheese taste straight out of the box, horrible. The cabbage looked good but taste awful. I don't ever see myself recommending or returning. 2 stars are for friendly staff and clean establishment. The price was good for the amount of food $27 for 2. read more

I was glad to find a Caribbean restaurant in the area. The restaurant is neat and clean. Seating inside and outside. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Nice music playing in the background. We ordered some beef patties to go. They came out fresh and hot. Very tasty and had a little spicy kick. We enjoyed them and will definitely come back next time we're visiting Louisiana. read more

BullFish Bistro - Baton Rouge I had an amazing experience at BullFish Bistro in Baton Rouge! I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and spinach, and everything was perfection. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like them. The mashed potatoes were creamy and seasoned just right, and the spinach added the perfect fresh balance to the plate. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made the meal feel even more special. If you're looking for a spot with delicious food and great vibes, I definitely recommend giving BullFish Bistro a try. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Bullfish Bistro, 14241 Airline Hwy Ste 105, Baton Rouge, LA 70817 Restaurant Week Review: Caribbean Cuisine. While service may be somewhat slow, the exceptional quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile. Each dish in our three-course meal was exquisite. Our selections included: 1. Honey Pepper Chicken Bites: Diced chicken, lightly fried and tossed in Chef Angel's signature sauce. (A favorite) 2. Signature Lamb Chops: Perfectly grilled lamb chops served atop creamy garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. A refined and flavorful dining experience. (A favorite) 3. Tender Beef Oxtails: Caramelized oxtails simmered in a rich red wine Creole butter bean sauce, served over fluffy jasmine rice. A truly comforting dish. 4. Bahamian Pecan Rum Cake. 5. White Chocolate Bread Pudding. 6. Butternut Soup Joumou: A hearty and comforting pureed soup featuring squash, root vegetables, turnips, and greens in a rich broth. #tonylameats #batonrougela #bullfishbistro #caribbean #caribbeanfood #restaurantweekbr #oxtail #lambchops read more

Amazing food - truly a gem! Highly recommend..well...everything. We've tried most of the menu and loved all of it.

"This order deserved zero stars. The price was nowhere near justified by the quality. The rice was mushy, the fish was hard, and the greens tasted overwhelmingly salty. The crawfish flavor & texture was completely off. I've been here before and never had an experience this bad, which made it even more disappointing. What made it worse is that I convinced others to try this place based on past experiences, and it turned out to be embarrassing this evening. Very upsetting overall." read more

When I think of Jamaican jerk, I think hot. This jerk was wonderfully different. You will be surprised. The appetizers of cracklings, chicken bites and coconut shrimp were delightful. Service was good and the ambience was like I was back in the islands. Three snaps!!! read more

Being from the Caribbean I was feeling for a good Caribbean meal. The food was very tasty but I'm not sure I would say I felt like home when I ate. Service was great, wait was a tad longer than I would have hoped for but I wasn't dying. Bill was $80 probably more than I would have paid but I don't mind supporting. Drinks 10/10 - these were non alcoholic but tasted like home. I had the painter passion fruit. Definitely glad I went - maybe I will try more where it hits home. read more

This is my second time visiting this restaurant. The first time was at the old location near LSU. That was not a pleasant experience BUT I decided to give the place another try in the new location. The experience was better. Service was relatively prompt. The place looks nice and the food was pretty good. The unfortunate thing of it all is that they were mounting a television and painting wall swatches to vote on their renovation. I found that to be super intrusive and quite ill-timed. When you go that will be all over - I hope!! Overall a decent experience. Do I think this place will be added to my normal rotation? No. Might I visit again one day? Maybe read more

Everything was amazing!!! My husband and I came here on a Wednesday afternoon with our hearts set on trying the lamb chops.

Also, the ambiance is top tier. read more

The jerk pork chop was nothing short of spectacular - perfectly charred on the outside with that beautiful caramelized crust, while remaining incredibly juicy and tender inside. The jerk seasoning made my taste buds dance. The sweet potatoes were a revelation - it taste like a sweet potatoe pie without crust. Don't sleep on the cabbage! It's clearly made with love, sautéed with just the right amount of seasoning that had me scraping my plate clean. These aren't just sides; they're co-stars that complete the meal. But what truly sets Bullfish Bistro apart is the hospitality. Owner Jasmine greeted us like family. You can feel her passion for bringing authentic Caribbean cuisine to Baton Rouge. The entire staff radiated that same warm, island hospitality - attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely happy to share their culture through food. read more

Best restaurant in town. Everything on the menu is delicious. Their strength is their consistency. You can count on the food being delicious every single time. Their drinks are off the chain also. read more

I ate at Bullfish Bisto for the first time today with a friend and my 5-year-old. I had the coconut shrimp (comes with 4, I ate one before the picture) for my appetizer and the shrimp pasta as my entree. The coconut shrimp were lightly battered and delicious, the sauce underneath with the peppers gave it a little sweet and spicy kick! My child had the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed it. My friend had oxtails with sweet potato soufflé. I tried one of her oxtails and it was tender and flavorful! We were the only table in the restaurant, it was around 1:30 PM, and the waitress, Liah, was very attentive and tried to answer all of our questions. She hadn't tried too many menu items, so some questions she wasn't able to answer. Liah was sweet and allowed my child to talk her ear off about the fish and sea creature decor in the restaurant. The restaurant is a nice size, has aquatic decor and televisions with ocean life on them, and they play Caribbean and Hispanic music that goes with the restaurant theme. The music is nice and not too loud. It wasn't my friend's first visit, she invited me to dine with her. I will definitely return. read more

If you're craving true Caribbean comfort food, this is definitely the spot. We were at a training across the street and initially went for Pimanyoli's but found they closed. With not enough time to look elsewhere, we gave Bullfish a shot and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Honey chicken bites with peas and rice, YUMMY! Too bad I don't live near this restaurant. We were greeted by a super nice hostess. The sweet tea was on point!! My only complaint is the wait for food to arrive. read more

First time. The food was good although server had an attitude and was mumbling things about us to another worker. Unprofessional

Ordered online for a to-go order. I ordered the vegan jerk burger and collard greens. The greens were seasoned well. The burger was good and full of veggies versus just soy which I appreciate. It wasn't the best veggie burger I've had but it wasn't bad. I paid an up-charge for grilled onions and mushrooms; however, after getting home, I realized that they did not give me the mushrooms. The fries that come with the burger were well seasoned and crispy on the outside. My friend really enjoyed the Friday snow crab special. Still a solid restaurant choice! read more

What a hidden vegan gem! Their vegan menu was extensive and inclusive, amazing flavor with unique Caribbean options. We had the cauliflower tacos & the vegan jerk burger with a side of fries + plantains. All of it was delicious, and we can't wait to get back and try more of the menu! The atmosphere was fun, being in summer classes right now we haven't had much of a vacation but our drinks sure made us feel like we were on an island! The Irie was unbelievable! We also indulged in $5 sangria after. Amazing prices, service, vegan/vegetarian options, and atmosphere! We will be back often. So thankful to have a place with an inclusive menu so close to home!! read more

This restaurant was a disappointment. I went there expecting the food to be as delicious as the pictures looked on Instagram. The restaurant was very dark even at lunchtime. They could use some good advice on setting the proper atmosphere and ambience. I didn't really get the Jamaican feel that I expected. I have been to Jamaica a few times. The jerk shrimp were not fresh. They were obviously from frozen and the "jerk" flavor was lost. The sauce tasted more like gravy than jerk. read more

Food and service was great... the server was very friendly and courteous. She was very talkative. Make sure we had what we needed. The food took a while to prepare, but I'm thinking that they prepare everything freshly so I understood and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was delicious. read more

For lunch I did call ahead for pickup and it was delicious. The flavors were amazing and had me wanting more. Food was ready when I arrived and I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. This was my actual first time eating from here, but I was aware of them when I used to do catering deliveries. Glad they are closer to my house and job now with the new location on Airline. read more

I was actually going to another restaurant, and ran into this place. What a treat!!! It was my first time being and eating at a Caribbean restaurant. The atmosphere was nice, and a great vibe. It did take a few minutes to get seated, understood for a Saturday night. Once seated, it did take a while before we met our waitress. Nevertheless, she made up for it, she did explain the menu, and even went to the kitchen to get a few of the sauces to help me make the best choice for my meal. We went with the 3meat platter. OMG!!!! I HAVE NEVER TASTED A MEAL THAT WAS COOKED WITH SO MUCH LOVE. The ribs has a homemade barbecue sauce, and the meat was so tender, it fell off the bone. The chicken had a true smoke tasted, the best was the jerked pull pork. It was cooked to perfection. The corn pudding and the sweet potatoes soufflé were both amazing!!! Please understand I never step out of my comfort zone when it come to food, but I'm soooooo glad I did. This place is definitely in my top places to eat. If you're in the Baton Rouge area, please stop by, you won't be disappointed..... read more
