I went here for the first time today. I called in advance to ensure there was still plenty of…read morecrawfish. Asked if I could do my order over the phone to secure some crawfish, but she politely told me I needed to come and go through the drive thru. It's located on the left hand side of LA Hwy 70. There are two seafood places side by side but Craws and Claws is the first one before you get to the lake. Be careful where you turn in at because it's a drive thru set up, so you go in one side and come out of the other. If you mess up like I did, it's easy to turn around, just be careful. There was a dry erase board just off to the side of the drive thru where the whole menu shows you just what they have and the prices. I came on Monday April 26th at 2PM. The menu showed crabs, crawfish, shrimp, both live and boiled, corn, potatoes, sausage, mushroom, garlic, sausage, and more. The lady was so nice both in person and on the phone. She packaged our stuff up so securely and even gave us an extra bag just in case. Our price was $3.99/lb for boiled crawfish but depending on when you come that price will fluctuate. Early on in crawfish season it's pretty expensive, but toward the end of the season, things gets little more affordable. Hands down, that was the best crawfish I've had in a long time. It was spiced just right. We had not even one bad crawfish. It was all great. The potatoes and corn were excellent. The boudin did not disappoint. It was so tasty and delicious. We had a big ol' polar pop to help wash it all down. We paid about $58 and some change for 12lbs of very tasty crawfish....that included 2 orders of potatoes, 2 orders of corn, and 2 pieces of boudin. Not a bad price at all for the amount of food we got. We enjoyed every bit. We will be going back very soon.

First night had half and half crawfish tails, fried and etoufee. Delicious and plentiful. Second night had Mahi Vermilion. Same story. Servers are friendly and hard working. Mostly college students but very eager to serve and please. Reasonable prices. If in town, give it a try. Highly recommend.

Parrain's is one of those Baton Rouge restaurants that feels very Louisiana the minute you walk in…read more Casual, busy, a little rustic, and usually full of people who look like they already know exactly what they're ordering. I went with the fried catfish, and that was definitely the right decision for me. Nicely fried, crispy without being cooked to death, and actually seasoned. Because fried catfish without seasoning is just sadness on a plate, and I don't have time for that. The catfish is one of the things Parrain's is known for, and you can order either the regular Catfish Filets or Thin Fried Catfish. The atmosphere is relaxed and very much old-school Louisiana seafood restaurant. Nothing fancy or overly polished, but it has character. It also stays BUSY, so depending on when you go, expect a crowd and possibly a wait. Recent feedback is generally very strong for the food and atmosphere, although service can be a little inconsistent when they're slammed. Overall, I liked Parrain's. The food was good, portions are generous, and it feels like the kind of place you should try at least once when you're in Baton Rouge.

The onion rings are homemade not fozen, the catfish has the perfect texture and perfect seasoning.

Tonight we had gotten a Togo order and they gave us 3 their last 3 potatoes for free long with 2 bottled drinks on the house. They are super sweet and kind I'm so happy to have found this place.

The restrooms are not air conditioned and it was just what you would expect from a seafood "buffet" in Bush would be like. A church retreat center in Loranger does a better job serving saltines. What really gets me the most is that it is a copycat of a casino buffet, without the casino revenue. And the location setting with a "disproportionate amount of frogs " makes you wonder where they are sourced from. So please Mr. Fugazi, name another buffet within a 3 hour radius where everything is "frog wafers" and "frog deviled eggs"? The gulf shrimp are 16/20's and you must be posting photos from the Westwego seafood market. Just look at the CUSTOMER posted photos. Food is unknown looking, service is "serve yourself", and the ambiance is 70's with a scent of mildew. It really needs to be emptied and sprayed down with bleach. You have to wait for food to be replenished, and when it shows up you take one. If there was lodging I would highly recommend it to anybody on the FBI most wanted list. It is gauche at best...

Highly recommend asking for her! The menu made choosing difficult because everything sounded delicious. There were plenty of seafood options, plus several great choices for our daughter who doesn't eat seafood. She ordered the grilled chicken entrée and fried mozzarella sticks and gave both a big thumbs up. My husband had the BBQ shrimp with an ah-maze-ing sauce that absolutely stole the show. We dipped everything in it--the cheddar biscuits, my hushpuppies, and even my fried catfish and soft shell crab. It was so good that I brought the extra sauce home with my leftovers and couldn't wait to eat them later that night... and I'm usually not a leftovers person! Long story short: definitely go, order the seafood, and ask for Emily!

There were 6 fillets . They were not sliced thin. They were the thick slices somebody else might enjoy taking home all that fish, but I gave a piece to each one of the people at the table and still took home two fillets. They were good but they should warn you when you order a plate. How much is on it or maybe I just have to learn to ask the right questions . we didn't even have an appetizer. Almost forgot. We ordered cheese and macaroni. The cheese and macaroni was great but again three of us could've eaten from the one serving . I guess the best thing is to look around the restaurant to get an idea or to plan on it being two or 3 servings. Also they only have bottled water and the charge is the same as coke or coffee. $$$.
