Cork's Cajun Fried Fish & Shrimp 5131 Government St, Baton…read moreRouge, LA #tonylameats No long review needed; If you're craving crispy Cajun fried fish and Gulf fried shrimp, this is the spot for you. The Captain's Platter comes loaded with fries, slaw, hushpuppies, and the honey butter roll that got me rolling. They don't just stop at fried seafood either; they also have crawfish étouffée, shrimp & grits, and po'boys on Gambino's bread keep things real Louisiana. Simple, flavorful, and straight to the point. This is the definition of comfort food. Tonylameats Approved @Cork's Fish & Shrimp

Open so disappointed since the Coul-Yon's food truck left my neighborhood and going across the…read moreriver is a little too much for one of their potatoes no matter how good they are. 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.

Tony's seafood never disappoints whenever I need something I can count on this place to have it. I…read moreLOVE crab clusters and they have Snow and Dungeness at a great price and they are a good price. Sometimes you want seafood but you don't want to go get it so why not make it at home. They have all the fixings for a boil from the corn down to the sausage. The service is great the people who serve you the fish always give you what you ask for. Now the ambiance is to be desired. It's on the Infamous Plank Road. So shop with caution on that street. They always have a sheriff or two on the property to help keep down problems but still be cautious. I will continue to shop for my fresh fish and shellfish from this local home town staple.

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."

Hunter was our server this time and although the service is always amazing, he outdid himself! We had a party of 10 with appetizers, food orders, and desserts!

Had a fantastic experience at Cecelia Creole Bistro…read more Tried the fried alligator bites and the étouffée, and both were excellent. Great introduction to Creole flavors - everything was well-seasoned and really satisfying. What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere inside is also really cool - stylish, comfortable, and full of character. It has that perfect blend of modern and classic Louisiana charm that makes you want to stay a while. Overall, great food, great service, and a great vibe. Would definitely come back.

Went to Cecelia for Restaurant week…read more Been multiple times in the past. Food is ALWAYS good. Never disappointed. We even looked up the chef because of how good it is. The reason for 4 stars is because it can get a little noisy. It's an old building and if there's an event happening upstairs, you will hear all the foot steps. The bathroom wasn't exactly the cleanest either. No complaints on service.

The place is large and they opened up the rooftop in the last few years so there is usually seating available. The food typically comes out fairly quickly, but it can get very busy so a little patience is needed at times. As for the food, this is a classic Cajun spot. Come get alligator bites, boudin balls, catfish, poboys, red beans and rice, jambalaya, etc. You name it, and they probably have it. The food is always good and the portions are large.

When I arrived it was honestly dead inside. Maybe one other customer and I had to ask if they were still open because it was oddly slow. But you want to know what was not dead? Their food! I ordered a glass of wine and the beef tenderloin cooked medium rare. He steak came with fingerling potatoes and veggies. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the veggies had a slight crunch and not overcooked and the fingerling potatoes were the perfect add to that dish. I sat at the bar and had the place to myself but overall really enjoyed my food. Friendly staff and very happy with my experience.

The tuna salmon carpaccio was good, little thrown off as it was warm which had me worried. But it was very good and balanced. The rice puffs were addicting. lobster roll was good even Though it was cold style which is not my favorite but the bread was delicious and they filled it nicely. Just need to provide more butter. Their fries were airy and consistent. The only not good part was the tiramisu and the colada drink. The cookie wafers were too much and too dense. All in all will come back.
