My boyfriend and I went to this local restaurant on Sunday for brunch. The ambiance was charming , and the restaurant felt spacious with multiple dining rooms. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us promptly. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, which made for a relaxed experience. They also had a singer performing that day. We ordered different dishes. I had a crawfish hash with potatoes, eggs, and sauce, while he ordered the Chantilly waffle, which was topped with strawberries and blueberries, along with a side of candied bacon. He really enjoyed his meal. I enjoyed mine as well, though I think the potatoes would have been even better if I had ordered my eggs sunny-side up to create more sauce throughout the dish. That's more of a personal preference, as I usually prefer my eggs over hard. Overall, the experience was enjoyable . Our waiter wasn't particularly friendly, though she may have been very busy that day. I did have a few interactions with the bartender, who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their wine selection. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something different for brunch or lunch. read more

Jubans Restaurant and Bar - Tiger something. Lol. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Last Thanksgiving I invited 6 friends to join me at Juban's for their Thanksgiving buffet. Our reservation was for 2:00. Nobody warned us, either on making the reservation or on checking in, that we would have a suboptimal experience, due to our being the last reservation of the day. At 2:00!! The buffet was anything but sumptuous- the turkey and other foods were picked over, with few pieces remaining. The dessert table was full of crumbs, and again, the offerings were sparse and shopworn . While we were still eating our main course, the cleanup of the buffet room began - food was actually being picked up before we were ready for dessert. I waited to write this review because I was too angry at the time, but now, a year later, I still remember how badly we were treated. We paid the same price as those who arrived earlier - we should not have been left to serve ourselves limited and dried out food. And, while we were trying to enjoy the desserts, the staff started cleaning up in our dining room. We had not lingered - but were made to feel we needed to leave. A very poor holiday experience. read more

Juban's presents a confident expression of elevated Cajun cuisine, long regarded as a local standard for refined regional dining. The kitchen leans into tradition with a polished hand, most memorably in a deep-fried soft shell crab that arrives as both spectacle and substance, crisp, delicate, and richly satisfying. Service is brisk and attentive without feeling hurried, and the dining room carries an unmistakably formal tone appropriate to its higher-end ambitions. On the evening of the visit, a live jazz band added a layer of atmosphere, enhancing the sense of occasion without defining it, while the overall experience remained anchored in well-executed food and composed hospitality. read more

My girls & I did a late Galentine's brunch here. We came 30 minutes after opening so it was pretty empty. The restaurant is so cute & dainty. The espresso martini wasn't made how I normally like them so they gladly switched it out for my old faithful French 75. To start I got the cream cheese cinnamon rolls to share. I honestly expected to like them more but they were ok. The Hallelujah Crab was EVERYTHING! It was my first time trying a soft shell crab & it did not disappoint. The grits that came with it were to die for. Overall I was very pleased. read more

What a great nicer dinner place in Baton Rouge. The aesthic is on point and the food is delicious, what more could you ask for! We came on a Saturday night during Homecoming in Baton Rouge. We had no idea it was Homecoming, so when we walked into the resturant, the only available tables were outside. We were looking forward to looking at all the fun artwork and colors inside, but outside was the only option for seating. I was shocked at how nice the outside was. There were string lights and nice patio decor, so it actually wasn't bad that we sat outside . It was also perfect weather this night, which helped too. We got drinks to start, wine and French 75, and both tasted normal/what we expected. For entrees, I got the salmon and my friend got the steak frites. This is some of the best salmon in town! It was cooked just the way I like and on top of this delicious mushroom risotto. The salmon was so moist but yet crispy. The risotto was full of flavor. It was also of food on the plate! My friend loved her dish, but I was for the salmon all the way! When we went to the bathroom, we were able to see the fun/funky decor. We even did the photo booth, which is $5 and you get to take home 2 photo slips. This was a really fun way to interact with guests. Even the bathroom had awesome decor. Service was good and we didn't wait too long for anything. We were in and out pretty fast for a busy night for them! read more

This place had such a fancy vibe. There was a dress code to get in, and when I see that I expect class and delicious appropriate food. Commanders palace does this to perfection in New Orleans. This place isn't bad. It's okay. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the scallops I had weren't of a good texture . It was just ok. The celery root was also kinda meh, and there was barely any of it. I got served a towel at the start and everything looked lovely, the servers were commanders palace worthy. But everything else was just okay read more

Jubans is a staple in Baton Rouge. We took my mom here for her birthday. The fried green tomatoes are still really good. They're topped with a balsamic dressing that really adds to the flavor. The soft shell crab was fried perfectly and stuffed, but needed a bit more seasoning. The fish was also tasty but lacked seasoning. Service was exceptional and the place is always nice inside. It was a Sunday so there was also a live band. read more

First time a Jubans. My son and I had a long lunch brunch with my Aunt and Cousin reconnecting. Loved the piano bar and slow tunes. Just beautiful. Service was great! Loved our dishes. Some little hiccups like my Aunt getting the wrong salad with protein and my cousin getting the wrong dish. It happens. We all enjoyed our food. Next time there are several dishes I want to try. read more

Visited Juban's while on a trip to Baton Rouge. I have to say overall great experience. The decor inside is well thought out and very beautiful. Our server was very nice, and while it took a minute to get our food I have to say it was overall worth the wait. The Crab Lollipops were out of this world. The Louisiana Two Birds was delicious; but the show stopper was the Hallelujah Crab. This is clearly Jubans stand out dish and it was impeccable. If I ever find myself again in Baton Rouge I will certainly be returning to eat here. read more

The wait was over 2 hours for the appetizers alone and 2 hours and 45 mins for the meal. They were not prepared to have Easter meal for so many people. There were no apologies from the manager, no refill on drinks unless you asked, no understanding at all. Very very disappointed. A lot of money for a meal that was just average. Not sure I will ever come back here again. At least turn on the TVs to keep the guests entertained if you are going to have them wait for almost 3 hours for their meals. read more

My go-to birthday spot! I love coming here to celebrate my birthday -- it's always such a great experience! The food never misses; every meal I've had has been absolutely delicious. The place looks so cute since it's been remodeled, and the atmosphere makes it feel extra special. They even have a Photo Booth in the back, which I think is such a fun and unique touch. It's perfect for snapping a few pics after dinner! read more

My family and I went for Brunch Saturday. It was my daughter's birthday celebration. Santa came visit our table which was a nice surprise. He sang Happy Birthday to her. I finally tried the Boudin dip and the blue crab lollipops. The boudin dip was a little spicy. But both were delicious. I ordered a martini which was very good. I love a good lemon martini. I had the Redfish Adrain with lump crab meat over grits. It was ok. My daughter ordered the lobster two way but our waiter came back and was sorry to say it's only for dinner so she ordered the Hallelujah Crab which we all had before and is still my favorite there. The stuffing is delicious. We loved the jazz band playing. Our waiter brought her a box of 2 chocolates for her birthday. Also there is a Photo Booth in the back by the restrooms. It's $5.00 for 2. Which was nice to go do after brunch. read more

Went during the Christmas holiday party season in 2024. With the mirrors and twinkly lighting it's got a great holiday vibe. From the service to the food everything was hit or miss. The hostess was a little short when I arrived and didn't have the name of the party correct. The waitress was personable when she was around but must have gone on break some time after we ordered our main meal but before she served it to us. Most of the dishes were over salted and the spinach on one of the dishes was so over cooked I genuinely asked if it was mashed black beans. I lucked out and ordered the soft shell crab dish that is in all the pictures and it was worthy of the raves. Overall I wouldn't decline if someone invited me to Jubans but I won't be making the effort to eat there again. read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. The place is fancy and everyone is formally dressed. The server was very polite. Nice decorations and dining seats with soft music at the background. We ordered the crab beignets, Redfish Adrian, Ora king salmon and Shrimp with fried eggplant pasta. The redfish Adrian was flavorless. The other two were good. We waited about half an hour for our desserts. As dessert we ordered the bread pudding which was very dry and hard. We couldn't eat it. The chocolate mousse was delicious and the strawberry cake was ok. read more

Juban's has great food, excellent service and a nice ambiance. We had a group of 12 and a private room for a work dinner. Our server was amazing. He was friendly, listened well, made good suggestions, and provided wonderful service. The food was excellent as well. We had several appetizers, main dishes and desserts. I ordered the Hallelujah Crab. It is a fried soft-shell crab, seafood stuffing, Creolaise, tartar mashed potatoes - served with hands raised. It was really good. I highly recommend Juban's. If we return to the area, we will definitely eat here again. read more

Visited this restaurant last Sunday for a birthday celebration for 2 friends. When you walk in the building the decorations are beautiful, they get a 5/5 for that. On the weekends they have the jazz brunch, so there was a jazz band playing when I walked in. Having a band is nice, but it was too loud for us since they sat us right next to them. I think they should have a good bit of space between the band and those dining as we could barely hear each other talk. After putting in appetizer orders, our waitress came around with warm towels for us to wipe our hands on, which I thought was nice. We ordered the French toast sticks, the boudin dip, and the crawfish wontons. The French toast bites were my favorite as it came with 3 different dipping sauces. The boudin dip had a good flavor, but was too salty for me (others at the table enjoyed it). I think if they served it with unsalted saltine crackers, rather than the regular ones it would be more balanced. The crawfish wontons were okay. I ordered the crab cake Benedict, but asked if my eggs could be fried instead and they said yes. Another friend ordered the crab cake Benedict, 2 other friends ordered the shrimp and grits, 1 ordered a soup, and the other ordered the Hallelujah crab. While my crab cake was crispy and paired well with the eggs, it did not taste like a crab cake. It tasted like some sort of cake with a few pieces of crab. My other friend who had it pointed out how there were no green onions or Bell peppers or really any seasoning that you could see. Also, to say it was a Benedict it did not come with an English muffin. I'd say they need to add the English muffin or at least some potatoes as it wasn't very filling. My drink, the Jubans martini, was really good though. For the shrimp and grits the sauce is a barbecue butter sauce, so it's not the sauce you are used to for shrimp and grits. My friends love shrimp and grits, but neither were huge fans of the sauce as they said it had a stronger Worcestershire flavor. My friend with the hallelujah crab enjoyed it, but wasn't a fan of her drink the Sunday Punch. Overall with our food and drinks, our server took care of us well. I just think some adjustments can be made to make this place 5 stars. In the back by the bathroom they even have a cute Photo Booth where you can pay to take a picture, but it was broken when we tried to use it which was a bummer. Thankfully since the place is nicely decorated we were able to just take some other cute pics in the restaurant. It's cute for celebrations and birthdays for sure. For any parties over 6, they do have an automatic 20% gratuity. They even have private dining areas available for large groups. I'd go back to try the dinner menu to see if it is better. read more

Came here for my birthday and was not disappointed. We got the crawfish wontons as an appetizer and my only critique is I expected it to be a bit more spicy but they were delicious. I also got the cauliflower, crab, and Brie soup which was absolutely delectable. I will probably make it a point to grab a bowl for lunch now and again. I got the 8 oz filet which is served over mashed potatoes with added grilled shrimp. The only complaint I have is that I asked for my steak to be medium but I got well done. It was still tender and delicious and everything was seasoned to perfection. My fiancé got the ribeye surf and turf which has a lobster tail. The lobster melted in your mouth it was so good. They also brought out a bread pudding for my birthday with a sparkler which was so fun and the bread pudding was to die for. The restaurant is very romantic and dark. They had real candles. Our server Matt was attentive and super sweet. Will be back again. read more

The food was pretty good. Service was fantastic but the prices were so high. It's a place to go only on special occasions in my opinion.

Cheers to my second time coming to Juban's for the Jazz Brunch! This is definitely a hot spot for brunch on Sunday, so be sure to get a reservation. It's really a special atmosphere with the Second Line band and it has the feeling of being an elevated New Orleans cafe in the French quarter. This is why I brought my mom here for her birthday. So, the second experience was great, but the front desk was completely unorganized. We checked into our reservation, but we were seated much after several other parties arrived. We had to remind the hostess several times that we were waiting. Once we were seated, we our waitress was over to take our order. We ordeed the Second Line cocktail which was strawberry puree, tequila, & champagne. It was okay, I wouldn't necessarily order it again. For our appetizer, we tried the blue crab lollipops. It's basically a stuffed and fried blue crab claw with corn Maque! 10 out of 10! I could eat those all day! For our entrees, we ordered the Hallelujah Softshell crab, the BBQ shrimp & grits, and the Breakfast burger. The food was good overall, but the portions on the Shrimp and grits was really small! The Hallelujah was stuffed with so much seafood and I would recommend it! Other than the front lobby/hostess situation, the overall experience was great! I just wish they would have done something nice for my mom's birthday. Like last time they brought out complimentary cotton candy. That would have been nice. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at Jubans. We were there for my granddaughters sixteenth birthday. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered came to our table hot and beautiful, almost picturesque. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy, yet fun, and clean. The service from the staff was impeccable. Our waiter and waitress constantly checked on our table frequently. I definitely recommend Jubans for a formal sit down dinner, or a drink at the bar with friends. Either way, the staff is sure to show you a great time. read more

We had reservations at Juban's on Saturday evening at 5:45 PM. While the atmosphere was nice and our waiter was very kind, our overall experience was disappointing. Several drink options, including all Prosecco selections and a red wine listed online, were unavailable, which was surprising so early on a Saturday evening. Service was extremely slow ....by 7 PM we still hadn't placed our dinner orders. When the food did arrive, it lacked seasoning and unfortunately did not meet the high standards we've come to expect from Juban's. In order to have champagne, we had to order a $88 bottle since other options were out. We've always thought of Juban's as a special place in Baton Rouge, but this visit fell short in both food and service. read more

The food was awesome. We came from out of town. Needed a nice place to eat. It appears to be upscale and had a dress code. Hubby had on a hoodie they didn't bother him at the door. We ordered the lobster 2 ways, and the filet with tartar mash (I swapped out the potatoes). We also ordered 2 apps, the crawfish wontons and the crab lollipops. We really like the crab jawns, my filet was really tenda melt in your mouth. The leftovers even tasted great cold on my way to the airport, lol (we had no microwave in the hotel) The room we were seated was really nice, cozy, the LSU library room? The walls are covered in shelves with cookbooks you can actually read (as stated by our server) and they have large pictures of LSU alumni. The pics made for great convo with hubby, trying to figure out who was who, while we waited for our food. Andre our server was great, attentive, knowledgable of our questions, patient and present. read more

100/10 service!! a very romantic place, each room of the restaurant has a different vibe but equally aesthetically pleasing. The food tied the bow together as it was amazingly well done by the chefs. The boudin dip was an amazing start to our dinner (really set a precedent for how the rest of the food taste). The Louisiana Two Bird was to dieeee for (always get quail if it's on the menu) juicy and flavorful bird. the salmon was medium rare as we asked. read more

I went here for lunch on Sunday with my Mom and Aunt. It was busy but not packed and the Jazz brunch was going on at that time. The music was nice and not overly loud. It's an older restaurant and the decor was somewhat dated but it could also be said that is part of it's appeal. While we were sat quickly, our waiter was not as attentive as he could have been and also was not knowledgeable about dishes that were served there. He kept having to go back to the kitchen to ask. At this type of establishment, I expected better service. We got the Boudin Dip, I got the Beet salad with Shrimp, my Mom got the Caesar salad with chicken and my Aunt got the Sensation Salad with two fried eggs. I assumed the Beet Salad would have been bigger but it was pretty small and the shrimp were somewhat overcooked. My Mom said the chicken was overcooked too and my Aunt said the Sensation Salad dressing didn't taste good. I also had the coconut pineapple mock tail and that was pretty good. I got a slice of the Opera cake to go and it is underwhelming. I feel like Juban's is a staple of Baton Rouge and I wanted to love it but it fell short for me. read more
