Ordered the Seafood Mac and the Steak Potato and it was amazing. Their sauce is not too buttery not too salty. Nice and smooth with a creamy cajun flavor. Service was amazing as well. You order at the window, easy. Def coming back to try the whole menu~ 10/10 would recommend read more

Have been so excited to try this spot. No frills with only outside seating. Walked past it at first, but found the ordering window. We had the shrimp, catfish, fries, and a dinner roll. We also ordered a large Cajun Mac and cheese. So good!!! The catfish was fried to perfection. Crisp cornmeal coating with fresh flakey and moist catfish. Shrimp were perfectly seasoned. Mac and cheese was delish. Will definitely be back. Got to chat with the owner and he was really kind. read more

This spot hits!! Service is great! Food is delicious! You sit outside, tables are clean. First timers here. If you look on the web at the menu, you will see more items than on the window menu. I recommend you seek out the web menu first then order. Everything was hot and fresh! Definitely going back again! We had plenty of leftovers that our kids wolfed down read more

Would give 10 stars if possible!! These two make phenomenal food, and are really down to earth. They truly take pride in their craft, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome experience. Whatcom county needs more restaurants like Battles. read more

I'm sure this place is great as all the reviews state, but I would not know. No where did it state it was take out only. We drive 11/2 hrs to get here only to not be able to eat their food. The weather was bad and there is only 1 table without a cover. We didn't want to eat in the car. read more

I have only ever had takeout, so be aware that it's fried food takeout - it's never going to be as crispy or fresh as from the fryolator. Despite that it does not lose any stars because wow. It's great. There's not a real Cajun place in the area and this is the closest you're going to get. It reminds me of being in the South and getting those old bay seasonings and just dumping it all on a table, and picking through with your hands. Food is love and community and this place, with the shrimp, andouille, potatoes, corn and catfish, exemplify that level of Southern hospitality. If you have to watch your salt, this might be a once in a while treat because it's appropriately salty. Otherwise, it's the closest to Louisiana we're going to get, so take a road trip to Ferndale to taste the Big Easy. read more

I need you all to eat here. We need this place to survive. This crawfish I had was a-mazing. The seasoning was out of this world. Everything was cooked perfectly and I can not wait to try more of the food. As someone from the area where creole food is from I am SO EXCITED for these flavors! We have never had anything like this here and you all should try it!!! On top of the incredible food the person at the window was soooo kind. I tried calling and couldn't get through (which is understandable they were super busy) so I send a message on facebook and they were very responsive. When I walked up to the window and said my name he immediately lit up and knew who I was. I am in love with this place. Try it! read more

The food was sooo delicious We are visiting from out of state and wanted to come try this authentic southern style food and it did not disappoint! The prices are very affordable and the customer service was so awesome. I got no sausage (allergic go pork) on my sea food boil and they were so kind and gave me more of the other options. Absolutely wonderful people!! This is definitely a hole in the wall and can't wait to come back!! read more

Great food as well as service and the people are wonderful hospitable. 1 of kind food and sauces! Surf and turf, gumbo seafood, broil with desserts pudding! Lemonades when they have it GO SEAHAWKS! GO SEAHAWKS! GO SEAHAWKS! read more

Been far too long since I have been back to this place and I should just make a regular stop of it. Seafood platter with shrimp and catfish absolutely to perfection-- succulent & flavorful with a terrific Remoulade dipping sauce. Over a bed of generous, Cajun-seasoned fries. Grabbed their stuffed baked potato for another meal which is indescribably tasty. Think 2 big scoops of stew with an open potato at the bottom-- it's a meal for 2- very large portions. But you won't want to share. The gents are happy and will patiently explain the food if you have any questions. Take a moment to converse a little bit with them after the order is placed and understand why they are in the community and the passion of their food. read more

Great guys always takes care of me being from Louisiana and working here have me a taste of home shout out to those guys read more

Wow! Amazing food! Got the fried chicken and fried catfish to share. Sooo good! I do not eat fish, lol can't stand the stuff but I even ate and loved the catfish! Not a dine in restaurant but has tables outside which was perfect so we could take our dog. We live almost an hour away and will make trips back for this food read more

Updating my review as someone told me it was too personal so here we go..... It can be nearly impossible to order ahead now as they are totally unresponsive to phone calls and messages. Tried to order ahead for a work party a week in advance and got absolutely no response at all ever. If you don't have 30 minutes to an hour don't bother. Food is still good however I caution the fried items will get soggy in the baked potatoe and everything is pretty high in salt content. read more

Incredible Cajun food! Tried all the sauces, couldn't decide which was best. Service was awesome, they were excited I was a first timer and you could tell they were proud and confident in their food, as they should be. Had the seafood sampler, catfish was awesome, shrimp was awesome. All the way awesome! Just a food window, trust that you're in the right place even if you can't see a storefront. read more

Seafood boil plates are fresh and flavorful, the jambalaya is also delicious. Contrary to a lot of these reviews, there are options that are not fried, but the fried foods I had were also flavorful and well prepared. I recommend Battle's kitchen, especially if weather is good and you can sit outside, or plan on picking up a seafood boil or some stew for dinner. Wholesome and hearty food served by kind folks who are very helpful when you don't know your way around the menu. read more

The food here speaks for itself. Everything we've had on the menu is phenomenal and full of authentic NOLA flavor. We got the shrimp po boy, crawfish etouffee, Mac and cheese and banana pudding (didn't get a pic before it was finished!) My one gripe is that they aren't always open during the hours listed! Can't wait to come back try everything else! read more

It's been over a year since I've tried Battle's. The options were nearly all deep fried and I'm not able to eat like that often, which is the only reason I've not returned. I'll return soon and provide an update -- hoping to find fried okra next time. Service was cool, friendly and very New Orleans Saints loyal, haha. They were busy while we waited and while we ate -- but the crew kept up with the pace. Ambiance, well it's an order window, so you either take it to go or eat outside at the cement picnic setting. read more

These guys and their food is AWESOME! IF your patient, they make it worth it! They are the take out window next to the seafood market. read more

This joint is a true hidden gem, hole in the wall! Flavor, quantity, quality and customer service is ALL THERE. I need to emphasize on flavor and the kindness of the owner because he and his authentic NOLA cooking is the reason why we'll be coming back. My husband recently came back from a trip to New Orleans, and he said our meal from Battles trumped his meals in New Orleans. We have huge respect to the chef and owner! read more

Our son found this place and had the catfish & shrimp platter. He highly recommended it so I stopped today and picked up gumbo to go. Very nice people and it was enough for both my husband and me for lunch. I would like a better view of the menu on line. One of the owners said they do serve hush puppies but did not have any ready when I came by. I suggest a better on line menu! read more

Love this place. Picked up the crab boil for dinner and it was amazing. Perfectly cooked and very large portions. Thanks guys!!

It was not cajun food. I have eaten a lot in New Orleans and this food did't even come close to cajun cooking. The food was just overly salty and the cajun rolls were just rolls out of a bag, read more

I would choose Battle's over any restaurant within a 50 mile radius of Bellingham. I have tried pretty much every item off of their menu and it is the most authentic Cajun/southern style food I have been able to get my hands on in Washington. Not only is their food absolutely amazing but the hospitality is like nothing I have ever experienced. Always very welcoming and every time I find myself in a conversation that goes way past ordering my food, the definition of "southern hospitality". I hate to see people bashing them in the comments for not taking calls and the wait time, in my opinion that's a blessing. Without that you would miss out on getting to know these great guys and adding on to the already unbeatable experience. read more

Food was amazing! We had the combo! Fry shrimp, chicken, and fries! The secret is the source! This place is mainly a to go! Couple of seats outside! Parking is shared! Great place if you are craving Cajun food! Too bad they don't have the seafood boil! read more

So excited to see authentic Louisiana-style Seafood in Washington State! This is my first visit and I ordered the Seafood Basket so that I can sample a bit more variety. Nothing disappoints here. The seafood (shrimp and catfish) isn't just fresh, but also very well-prepared, well-seasoned, and made with love. Their dedication to food is obvious and in every bite. I think the owners are smart for taking advantage of the fine quality of the local seafood in the area, and combining that with their roots in Louisiana style cooking. It's full of flavor and not overwhelming. Although this place doesn't seem easy to find at first, a quick search on Google Maps would do. It's really an exciting hidden gem. As a Canadian, this is really worth driving across the border for. They seem to be adding new items regularly and seasonally. Eager to try something new next time. read more

The jambalaya, étoufée, bbq chicken wings and red beans & rice were savory delights, but the true hero was the peach cobbler. It was life changing! I didn't leave the same person but a fatter person more contented with the world. We will be back! read more

The food was sooo good! My bf took me here for the first time and the service was so welcoming! They talked to us about where they came from and everything! I got the Seafood Mac and Chess and he got the Surf & turf basket. - The one thing I can say about the seafood mac is I wish it was Baked Mac and cheese other then that 10/10 - they gave my bf the BEST cajun tartar sauce and it was BOMB read more

Got their seafood boil for the first time today! Was absolutely delicious. The service was also great! Thanks for the great food! read more

I got blackened grilled chicken with garlic and butter stone-ground grits. It was just like southern Louisiana. There a couple of patio tables if the weather is nice; otherwise, it's strictly takeaway. read more

This is one of the places you would not go unless you heard good things about it. Definitely worth going to. The few things I tried first trip were not too spicy just a bit of a kick. Could have been spicier in my opinion. More people probably like it the way it is. Red beans and rice are not the top of my list of foods to get but these were excellent. Got a seafood basket that was great. Need to go back and try some more of the food. Talked to a few people that have eaten there a lot and said everything is good. Definitely worth the try. read more

Wow! This place is AMAZING!!! We are going to be coming back all of the time. The service by these gentlemen is outstanding and only matched by the taste of the food. Best catfish I've ever had! read more

Located in a slow strip "mall" of three-four spots. Not much traffic, so most are intentionally coming through....for good reason! The food was delicious! Admittedly, we got baskets though: two chicken and a seafood basket. Again, all was delicious. BUT, I should've looked closer; so much more! E.g., ettouffe, shrimp & grits, and beinets! (sp). Gotta return to check those out! Fries were seasoned, breading was just right, and the fish. The catfish! Memories of fried fish from a storefront back east, grab and go, being happy and full! Service was nothing but friendly, warm, and quick. Check them out soon and support local! This spot is straight ... dem spots in town (you know who) best watch their backs... like the Wire - "Battle's Kitchen comin'!" [Omar!] read more

The food speaks for itself. Raised in New Orleans, this authentic creole cooking. Wait was a bit long but there were lots of customers. Recommend you call in advance and then pick up your food. Now if they started making New Orleans style roast beef po-boys. read more

Gator has the best southern / authentic Louisiana style cuisine you'll find in WA! Being from Louisiana, his food makes me feel like I'm back at home! Some of my favorites are the Crawfish Étouffée, Red Beans and Rice, Chicken Strip Basket with Cajun Sauce, Catfish Basket with Cajun Mac n Cheese, and Crispy Chicken Salad with Cajun Ranch. The customer service is amazing and everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you're well taken care of. The location is very low traffic, and quiet. Just keep in mind this is NOT fast food so unless you pre order for a pickup time you will have to wait a bit for freshly made food. (Which I love!) read more

Wow! Never had a bad meal from Battle's. They are so kind and friendly. If you can preorder by phone or Facebook the day before- do it so you get exactly what you want and don't have to wait. Had the pleasure of ordering 1lb of crawfish last week and enjoying it at home. Made me feel like I was in Louisiana at a family boil. Thank you! read more
