First night had half and half crawfish tails, fried and etoufee. Delicious and plentiful. Second night had Mahi Vermilion. Same story. Servers are friendly and hard working. Mostly college students but very eager to serve and please. Reasonable prices. If in town, give it a try. Highly recommend.

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Unfortunately, the kitchen brought my wife the wrong meal, and it took an exceptionally long time for the correct dish to arrive. That was disappointing, especially since everything else was so enjoyable. Despite the kitchen hiccup, the quality of the food, wonderful ambiance, and excellent service from our waitress made for a great experience overall. We would definitely return and hope the kitchen gets it right the first time next visit!

CRABBAGE! Tony's…read moreSeafood... I ordered seasoned crabs, not what looks like the remnants of dirty old slumgum crabs who retired from the mud wrestling team. When did dirt become "seasoning." Unless y'all have invented invisible Cajun dirt seasoning. Customers do not expect to purchase filthy, dirty, cold, crabs from a company hailing an 'outstanding, legendary reputation as a top-tier local institution, highly praised for its exceptionally fresh Gulf catch and serving quality food.' When returning the crabs for a refund, the lady giving the refund trying to convince my husband to keep them dirty cold things said, "We sell crabs at room temperature. We don't sell hot crabs." Ya'll the receipt clearly says, "HOT CRABS." Did she not realize the infraction she admitted! She basically confirmed they commit food violations, not keeping food at proper temperature!! How about that? He told her to refund our money back. Cleanliness and proper food temperature matter and this is not the first time I have returned dirty, cold, CRABS, back for a refund. Your hot food portions also have shrunk considerably yet your prices had increased tremendously. People are paying more for less. Tony's, this horrible economy does not support greed, especially dirty greed especially where improper food handling or poor food prep can lead to food borne illnesses. Here's what Google says about local seafood suppliers, markets, and regional culinary authorities who advocate for rinsing or thoroughly prepping live blue crabs before they hit the boiling pot to remove marsh mud and debris. Guess who's leading the pack!!! "Tony's Seafood: "Located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the largest seafood market in the Gulf South operates under a strict operational standard that prioritizes extensive washing and sorting of live local blue crabs and crawfish prior to boiling or retail packaging to strip away pond and bayou mud." ARE THEY PRACTICING STANDARDS THEY ADVOCATE? Things that make you go hmmmmmm...... Rouses Markets "in their official emphasizes the practice of purging and rinsing live shellfish in fresh, cold water or placing them on draining ice to clean off the shells before introducing them to the seasoned boil." Louisiana Crawfish Company "instruct to physically rinse mud and marsh grit off blue crabs before they hit the boiling pot." As the song say, "You better shop around." I'll be spending my money elsewhere. Y'all can keep your overpriced food and swamp dirt "seasoned crabbage garbage."

The bartender was great and very attentive and gave us some great recommendations! As my boss and I traveled in from California and Florida, we wanted to try creole cuisine and Cecelia's had a great menu. We got the cornbread (I still think about this cornbread), alligator, shrimp and grits, gumbo, and bread pudding. WOW, just wow was this food amazing! The shrimp and grits were fabulous and the gumbo was like a hug in the bowl. I recommend coming here hungry so you can try a lot of things on the menu! My boss and I were so full and our stomachs were so happy after this awesome meal.

The flavors were reminiscent of my family recipes. The batter on the fried green tomatoes was perfect. The service deserves its own paragraph. Our server was Mila (sp?). Her attention to detail and attentiveness to our experience was top 10 among all my international and domestic dining experiences. We had our 18 month old daughter with us and she made us feel welcomed and was attentive to the experience of our child as well. I highly recommend her table if you are fortunate enough to experience her excellent service. The atmosphere is true to its bistro title. Cozy, intimate and well designed. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Baton Rouge. I was here visiting family. San Francisco Bay Area is home.

I had no idea. Corks was owned by the same people. One of my friends who works at Coy-Yon's in West Baton Rouge told me that I could still get that potato pretty easily on Government Street. I guess this is basically the same thing as our restaurant in Port Alan instead of barbecue, they specialize in fish and shrimp. I did get shrimp as my protein for the potato and it was delicious Definitely go, give it a shot. The server was very nice and friendly. Parking very simple. Interiors mostly white. They've got some art on the wall, looks like it's done locally. Most mostly of their other restaurant. If I had to complain and be picky, I would say take that Christmas tree down. I always find the tacky when restaurants or businesses leave their Christmas tree up all year. It's never the flex they think it is. But who cares. The food is good.

The stuffing was rich and flavorful, complementing the salmon beautifully without overpowering it. The entire meal felt like a true taste of Baton Rouge cuisine--bold, comforting, and made with care.

My cousin recommended this place after the LSU game. We arrived late and unfortunately most of…read moretheir dishes were sold out. The informed me that there would be a wait but they had catfish available. We decided to wait and I was not disappointed. First of all they gave very generous portions when it came catfish ballet. This is not a cornmeal coating but a batter. At first I was surprised that I wasn't able to get any tartar sauce with my meal. However once I taste the fish I could see why it wasn't necessary. The fish was nicey flaky but the outside was crispy and not overly salted. This is some of the best tasting catfish I've had in a while. I am definitely going to come back to try the other items on the menu. I will note this is a food truck but they are here regularly. Don't let it descriptive because he is high quality and could put most restaurants to shame.

I used to live about 3 to 5 minutes away from Jacks and it was my favorite take out spot. My favorites include the shrimp fried rice, fried catfish..and my ultimate favorite? The fried oysters! They are so good and seem to be cooked just right so that they are crunchy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. My favorite thing about Jacks is that it has so much character. When you walk inside there are little booths and a ticket line framed with glass. You order and wait for your food. Be prepared to wait because it is a local favorite. I wouldn't suggest dining in...the parking is limited and it's more of a take out place...but that's what hole in the walls are for.. yummy secrets that you can take home.
