    Food was Fresh and Hot. Service was Great . They bring your Food out to the table where you are. The Ambiance is Casual and Peaceful. We enjoyed it and we will be back .

    Flavorless frozen burger patty

    Flavorless frozen burger patty that I had to pull around and wait for. I had high hopes after reading reviews, but I was sadly disappointed. Maybe they do their fried seafood better but this burger is horrible. Do not order the burger!

    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

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 edges were hard and crunchy, the inner most part of the cookie was a little gooey, but each bite carried an either toasty or burnt flavor. Not quite sure what happened here but please try and not burn the pizookies! The entrance is also a bit odd - the front faces the road, so you basically have to park in the back and walk around

    To be honest, I came here for my nieces 16th birthday dinner not by my choice. I had low…read moreexpectations. BJ is one of only two places I've ever had to return food in all of my years of going out to eat The negatives are we waited forever for a table. We had a 630 reservation. We sat at about 8 o'clock. You could tell they were short-staffed in the front of house. We had a party of about 25 to 30 and maybe 19 of us left over, once we were allowed to the table, a portion of our party had to leave. Working in a restaurant I could see they were understaffed in the front, because no tables were being seated from the wait. You could kind of see the wait growing, but There was no rotation of tables going in, as other parties left....small parties or large parties. Once we were allowed to the table, you could see the restaurant was about 60% full. As a restaurant manager, myself,I understand. No judgment at all, other than the fact that I was starving. We had one server. Needed 2. Especially with a table of 14 to 16-teenage boys and girls. Again no judgment I have to make those decisions at work sometimes also. Our server was Cheyenne. She did the absolute best she could. She remain professional and calm and she did pretty good under the circumstances. Had we had another server, the flow of service would've been faster. I wanted to order a few appetizers for the kids tables and.probably would've ordered more drinks from the bar, than I did, but she just couldn't get around everybody fast enough. Keep in mind one of our tables had at least 14 teenage boys slurping down their beverages back to back to back. The food was delicious. It was hot. It was fresh. It beat my expectations from my previous experiences at BJ's. I will add BJ to my rotation of going out to eat places in hopes that the quality of the food I received is consistent with what I had Saturday night.

    I left this place highly disappointed and very underwhelmed. Since my mom and I were in the area,…read morewe decided to try King Kong since we heard good things about the place... sadly the hype didn't match our experience. For starters, the guy who took our order gave off an attitude before we even said anything and looked like he didn't even wanna be there. When we ordered, he didn't even ask about what type of toppings or sweetness levels we wanted like any typical boba shop would do. When he gave us our order, he didn't even say anything or gave us the utensils we needed with our order. Basically horrible customer service skills. Now for our order. For the drinks, we got their Mangonada ($7.40) and their House Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($7.30). For the food, we got their Coconut Snails ($18.95) and their Sautéed Scallops ($19.99). The food was very mid and overpriced for the quality. Portions were so small and the taste of everything was nothing special. The brown sugar milk tea lacked any brown sugar taste and was so bland. The Mangonada drink was okay, but it didn't even come with the Chamoy covered straw as advertised. One upside is that the inside decor is nice and clean, but that is the ONLY upside. I hate brining down family-owned shops like this one, as I can understand the hardships that they go through, but my experience here was so awful that I had no choice. Rude service? Mid quality food and drinks? Overpriced? I'm sorry, but until they change things for the better I would not recommend this place.

The food was great (literally everything we ordered), drinks were great, and service was AMAZING. Our waitress was Chelsea. She was so sweet and she served us with such grace and patience. We had a large party of about 16 and everyone was happy with their food and service. Not one complaint. Not to mention the bathrooms were clean and so was the restaurant. Really well kept. Kudos to whoever is the manager. You can clearly tell there has been a change in management, for the better.

The chicken was cooked perfectly. I hope they keep this on the menu or at least something similar. We went with my friend and her daughter she tried the bourbon street penne which I believe she enjoyed and it was a nice portion! The kids chicken Alfredo was surprisingly good and very well seasoned. The portion was great too my son was full. I also like that they give you the option of getting yogurt and fruit for a side. The service wasn't the best our server was all over the place. Our drinks sat at the bar for a while so I don't know if they ended up being watered down but I didn't really taste any liquor. I will still be back hopefully to try the same things on the menu.

    First I haven't been to a Red Lobster in over 10 years. My husband & I decided to give it a try…read moresince the new CEO took over and did a re-vamp. The service was top tier. Our waitress and the manager Julie were great. Very attentive and friendly. Now the food-For appetizers we got the crab queso and dragon shrimp. The queso was delicious! I honestly got full off of that and the biscuits. The dragon shrimp had a weird taste and I couldn't eat more than one. My main meal I tried one of the new offerings, the boil. I was underwhelmed. I'll stick to Fiery Crab for that lol. Overall my experience was decent. It's not Mike Anderson's so I wasn't expecting it to be. I'd probably come back to try additional menu items.

    It's been about 10 years since I've dined at a Red Lobster restaurant, I arrived at Red Lobster…read morearound 5:00 PM for a quick dinner. Upon walking into the restaurant, I was immediately greeted by the friendly hostess and seated shortly after. The restaurant was very clean but it's aging with some of the booth seating ripped and torn. The server Mechelle approached the table within 5 - 7 minutes of being seated, introduced herself, and took my drink order which came out quickly. She also brought out a basket of cheddar bay biscuits that were served warm, soft, buttery, and had great cheddar flavor. The biscuits were very good. I could return just for the biscuits. I ordered the Lobster Lover's Duo with two lobster tails, a Maine tail and a Rock tail, both roasted to perfection served with melted butter for dipping, and I choose loaded mashed potatoes and bacon mac and cheese for my two sides. The portion sizes were appropriate and filling. The meal was surprisingly very good and exceeded expectations. The lobster tails were average in size, looked amazing and were perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes had plenty of bacon, green onions, bacon, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. The mac and cheese were not dry but could have used a little more of the cream cheese sauce. Overall, it was a good dining experience. My only complaint would be the server could have been a little more attentive and smiled a little more.
