    We had high hopes for this, but our waitress was somehow condescending? And food was good but nothing special. Really liked the drinks though! Drinks: The essential The Paloma (I got some fruit flavoring added, possibly raspberry) Appetizer: Calamari Caesar salad Entrees: Filet mignon with baked potato New York strip with mashed potatoes

    Shrimp Taco's

    Had a girls lunch here to discuss some upcoming party planning. I was not very hungry and wanted something light so I decided on the shrimp tacos and let me tell you... Fabuliso, ambrosial, umami... I have not been a huge fan of shrimp tacos in the past however, I feel like I have been born again. And let's talk margarita... The Elite Margarita was perfectly handcrafted. James was our server and he was absolutely precious, professional and attentive. Just the kind of professionalism you would expect from J. Alexander's!

    Sister #2 has Burger and Fries.  She had nothing left, said it was quite tasty.

    Service was great , I found out about the sour dough bread, it was so hot and delicious. Even the butter was good. My salmon was cooked perfectly, my rice and black beans were the perfect side dish. Ended the evening with "The Powerful Stuff". If you have not had that dessert , it's worth a try. I wouldn't recommend eating it alone, it was a chunky portion. If you like all the ingredients it is a a delicate balance. The Ambience is always at the right balance, the slightly dim lighting helps you to feel cozy but professional.

    9-2-2024 We all had another late night heading back home and always to our surprise, MOST places are closed by 9! This place stays open til 10! Thank God! It was 5 of us, got there around 9:20pm. Our waitress was Maddie. What a beautiful and pleasant young lady!! Very attentive too! I will request her next time we stop by! We ALL love the atmosphere at this restaurant! The food??? wow! Exceptional!! Everything is just superb! Even though we got there late, close to closing, we are never pressured to eat and leave so they can close! That means a lot! We truly enjoyed it and we will return when we are out of town again! Thank you all from our waitress to the cooks! Excellent job!! Kudos!

    STEAK MAUI with asparagus

    J Alexander's was exactly what I needed today! My server, Jamie was heaven sent and the absolute best. I always enjoy the welcoming atmosphere. But tonight it was truly the service and food that made our day. My hubby ordered the prime rib. I didn't even have to chew it and it was so flavorful. This is coming from someone who likes their steak "cooked." I ordered the Steak Maui and the taste was impeccable. It was perfectly prepared. I can't forget the horseradish cream sauce. I could drink it!!!! So glad we decided to come out and dine. We will be back.

    Prime Rib

    My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated immediately. Our waiter was super friendly but kept forgetting our drinks. We ordered the Mac and Cheese but the waiter brought fries. When we addressed this, he brought us the Mac and cheese but still charged us for the fries. The prime rib is always good- I've been here a few times. It's very soft and tender and is good on its own. No sauce or salt is needed. The crab dip was very rich, cheesy and had huge chucks on crab meat! There's plenty of parking. The ambience is very classy, though most were dressed casually. This is located next to the mall, so convenient after a day of shopping.

    Mmmm.  Steak

    Do they serve prime rib for lunch?

    Yes 8oz (prime rib sandwich), 12oz and 16oz. Also can add additional ounces for 2.50 per ounce. So theoretically you can order any size prime rib 8oz and up at any time of the day

    Just stopped for lunch and had a great meal. Just passing through the area and checking places via…read moreYelp (ratings, menus, locations close to highway, etc). Saw this place and decided to stop check it out. Can't believe someone gave it 1 star. I went in around 1 PM and the place was still crowded from lunch. Wife and I split a pound of peel and eat shrimp and a shrimp po-boy. With drinks our meal was less than $30. We took the chips with us for later. It was too much food for one meal. The place is open (not crowded with tables), clean and the restroom was also clean. The hostess sat us immediately and the server did a great job even while juggling several other tables. Not sure how you could spend $69 and claim it's flavorless microwaved food. The last review was TOTAL BS. Definitely would stop again.

From hosts, to servers, to food runners everyone is always taking care of us. The food is literally perfection every time! My husband orders the same thing every time, the signature poboy with a side of Mac and cheese. I typically get the boiled shrimp which is good, I prefer a little more seasoning SOMETIMES! Sometimes the taste is perfect sometimes I think it needs more spice. I dip them in butter and love it either way. And their apps are good too. Crawfish toast. Gumbo fries. Mozzarella sticks. Fried green tomatoes. All of them! YUM! The restaurant itself is so cute too. I love all the local art on display and the vibes!

    I stopped into Lagniappe for the first time yesterday and had a great experience. I sat at the bar…read moreand ordered a cheeseburger--super friendly bartender, great service, and the food did not disappoint. The burger was delicious, but the fries were the real standout... absolutely exceptional! I also really like the layout and overall vibe of the restaurant. If I had one suggestion, it would be to dim the lights a bit more in the main dining area to make the atmosphere even better. Otherwise, it's a very inviting space. Looking forward to going back--especially once the weather warms up so I can enjoy the patio!

    A True Hidden Gem - Lagniappe Steak & Seafood (Bluebonnet Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA)…read more I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lagniappe Steak & Seafood on Bluebonnet, and it is without question one of Baton Rouge's best-kept restaurant secrets. On my first visit this past Wednesday, I ordered the fried shrimp and catfish lunch special, and immediately knew this place was different. The seafood was perfectly seasoned--not overly salted or heavily breaded, just a delicate, crisp coating that highlighted the freshness and natural flavor. The servers were exceptionally professional--friendly and attentive without being overly familiar, which I truly appreciate. What took the experience to the next level was when Anas, the manager or owner, personally came out to check on my meal. She was tall, poised, and stunning--truly looked like she could walk a high-fashion runway in Paris! Her elegance and hospitality added a touch of class you just don't see often anymore. I was so impressed that I returned two days later--the day after Thanksgiving--to try the grilled pork chop I've been hearing people rave about. Let me tell you... WOW. It was phenomenal. Juicy, tender, perfectly grilled with picture-perfect char marks--honestly felt like eating a premium steak. I give it a 10/10 without hesitation. On that visit, Jennifer was my server and she was fantastic--attentive, warm, and highly professional. Now here's the part that blows people's minds: these incredible meals were part of the lunch special, priced similarly to what most folks spend at a fast-food restaurant for a two-piece combo with fries and a drink. Same price--completely different level of dining. And for those who don't know: I've traveled all over the world and I am the ultimate foodie--something my followers know well. I live for great cuisine, authentic flavor, and memorable dining experiences. So when I tell you this place is worth your time, believe me. --- When in Baton Rouge, go to Lagniappe Steak & Seafood. You will not be disappointed by the ambience, service, or the quality of the food. A genuine 5-star dining experience and without a doubt one of the finest hidden gems in the city.

When we walked in there were 3 bartenders, we took a seat directly in front of red head, she didn't greet offer water or anything, Same with the bartender she was heheing with. They became stoned faced & scurried to the opposite end of the bar. However we did notice her demeanor was different when a certain color approached the bar & she was oh so helpful & full of smiles. We sat for quite awhile & started looking for elsewhere, almost as if they were playing rock paper scissors in their head about who was going to serve us, yea. One finally shows up we decided to get a round of drinks & 2 appetizers & go to Tio Javi's hastily. The drinks were sweet, not like they used to be, boudin balls were good, dip lacked luster. When he saw we were leaving so soon, then he tried to compliment my nails. A tip was the furthest thing from my mind but my sis thought I should, but I most definitely wouldn't have.

I do understand that when you cook them they shrink but to totally disappear was not expected. Nothing but a shell full of burnt parmesan cheese and liquid butter. And not to mention the price. The rest of the food was pretty average nothing to get excited about except for the prices. Also portion sizes were on the smaller size. I never ordered a seafood platter at Deaneies and walked out hungry? Which bring me to the 3% credit card charge which does also include the tax and they make sure you know this. Tell me what this is all about Dragos. Is this just your way of saying thanks customer we hope to never see you again? Try and make the percentage make sense. So if my bill is 20 dollars I am charged 3 percent of 20 but if my bill is 500 dollars the of course the charge is substantially higher ?? Is there a reason it is not a flat fee? Not like the wait staff had to do anything extra to swipe a 500 dollar card ?? Make this make sense?? Do yourself a favor and skip Dragos next time you want something to eat

I got the happy hour margarita which was okay but they I tried the Ghost margarita.( if I'm remembering it correctly) I should've been getting that drink from the start omg. The presentation alone made me love the drink. The ice, the tajin, omg it was good. I decided on the beef short rib and wasn't disappointed. The short rib was so tender, very flavorful. The dish was a bit on the oily side for me, more gravy would have been nice. Beside that I loved this meal. My date had the seafood pasta with shrimp and crabmeat. They give you a decent amount of crabmeat. He enjoyed his food so no complaints! I'll definitely be back.
