Yummy food and nice service. Everyone was very kind and the inside of the restaurant is very cute. My only complaint was it was a little tough finding vegetarian options since it's the south so everything had meat in it in some way. I was able to find some sides / appetizers to eat which were really good though! They also brought us a complimentary cotton candy, and I don't usually like cotton candy, but it was very tasty and pretty.

This place was very fun and an unexpected find in our quick visit to Baton Rouge. We arrived around 1 pm for brunch and though there were empathy seats it took about 15 minutes for us to be seated. The floor was a hazard. I almost slipped and hat to catch myself otherwise it would have been very bad. Not sure why but the floor was extremely wet and maybe even greasy that didn't make it safe to walk on. Once we arrived at our seats, our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. Our table ordered a variety of dishes. Each were very good and enjoyed by all of us. We set in doors but the outside seating looked enjoyable. To our surprise at the end of the meal received the signature cotton candy that is provided to all guests. This is definitely a must dine brunch spot.

First time we've come for dinner, and it was amazing! Service was great, I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. Love the free pork rinds and cotton candy We got Free pork rinds Crabmeat cheesecake - hands down my favorite of the night Solou burger - so messy but so good Boudin quesadilla - the parts that had boudin were great! But there was a lot of the quesadilla that didn't have any filling or only had cheese Free cotton candy - LOVE

Steak Frites

Excellent variety of well designed plates. We had the Rotisserie Chicken and Steak Frites and both were excellent. Friendly staff

Stopped by SoLou and left very impressed. Sat on the patio with our two pups, so dog friendly was a plus! It was kind of chilly but no worries, they have heaters! Ordered the SoLou burger with two patties, cheddar, and bacon jam. The patties were moist and juicy, and the cheddar plus bacon jam combo hit perfectly. Smoky, savory, and balanced. The bun was nicely toasted and held everything together. It comes with crispy battered fries that were solid on their own and didn't feel like an afterthought. Also tried the crab and brie grilled cheese and this was a standout. The bread was perfectly buttery, not greasy. Plenty of real lump crab meat, not the artificial stuff, and the brie was melted just right without being overly cheesy or heavy. It's paired with a tomato soup that's meant for dipping, and it works. The soup wasn't thin or watery, more of a creamy, well seasoned consistency. We also ordered the cheddar cheese stuffed tater tots, and these are not your standard tots. They're oversized with a pillowy, potato forward inside and crispy on the outside, with cheesy goodness in the center. Pro tip: dip the tots in the tomato soup. Trust me. To top it off, at the end of the meal they brought out cotton candy. Since it's Christmas season, it was Grinch flavored cotton candy, which is basically sour apple. Fun touch and a cool way to end the meal. Overall, the food was excellent and the service matched it. Big shoutout to Kaseem. He was accommodating with our drink orders, had great menu recommendations, and was just a solid dude all around. Would absolutely come back.

The service was outstanding. The food was so delicious. We had the rotisserie chicken, and shrimp alfredo. The Truffle fries were the best I've ever had. The pink Margarita with coconut rum was sooo good. The cotton candy was a special treat too!

Thank you so much to Solou for being so accommodating to my friends and I. We made a reservation for at least 15 people and were all comfortably seated in a booth area. Our waiter went above and beyond to help us celebrate our newly engaged friends which we were super grateful for. I was about to go on a road trip with dinner plans later that day, so chose to keep my brunch a little light. I started with the blueberry margarita, which was nice and sweet. I do wish it were a little sourer, but if you're a sweet drink girl, this is the way to go! My meal was the fried cauliflower in sweet and sour sauce. A bunch of my friends side-eyed me for that one, but quickly took It back once they tasted it. Delicious. My only nitpick would be that maybe there was too much sauce, especially as I got to the bottom. Maybe putting a little less on the cauliflower, and having more on the side so that the customer can control that themselves? All in all, I had a wonderful time and if I find myself back in Baton Rouge, I'll be sure to stop by!

Truffle Mac n cheese & solou burger. Both very flavorful & well cooked.

Great service, atmosphere, & food! We sat outside, the weather was great. Our server was very friendly & attentive. We tried several things. Cheddar stuffed tater tots, tomato soup, Solou burger, truffle Mac n cheese, & chicken & waffles. Everything was cooked perfectly & delicious. We'd definitely can't wait to come back!

Unimpressed with my visit and food unfortunately. Really would give 3.5 stars. We had a party of 7 with a reservation at 1:15pm. I called them saying we were running a few mins late and was told that was fine and we would get seated once we got there. We arrived and waited almost 45 minutes before being seated! What's the purpose of a reservation if we still have to wait?! The ambiance was good bo complaints there. Busy for Sunday brunch. The food left us feeling underwhelmed. The shrimp corn dogs tasted like they were right out of the freezer. The cauliflower was decent. The crawfish scramble was decent but literally had no seasoning, had to add salt n pepper. Just really disappointed because I came in with high hopes.

Every single time we've came here, it's been a true pleasure all the way around! And the best part is when I get to see my Favorites who work there, Morgan as my Bartender & also Kayla the manager who works there! They truly since day one have treated me not only like an amazing customer; but like a forever friend now I look up to & get so excited to see every time we go! Our experience each time we went was so memorable & just the right vibe to go with the date night, delicious food, good drinks, and making memories!

Parmesan Truffle Fries

Our server was super attentive! I went with my mom during brunch time and she was so helpful and excited that it honestly made our day. The food was really good, I'm personally not a big fan of the pork rinds but I like the general vibe of giving them. We got the chicken and waffles and sweet potato pancakes. They brought us a complimentary cotton candy dish at the end with a raspberry jam. It was honestly our favorite part of the whole meal! But it was all good.

I come here all the time and the food is always amazing. The staff and service is quick and attentive each time. Definitely recommend for a lunch with the girls or family! The place can be packed quickly since it's not a large building so make sure to snag a seat or reservation

Is the parking situation any better than it was a year ago? That is the only reason I don't go there more than I have.

There is a lot out back to the right that is gravel. I don't know what it was like before but it had enough parking on a busy Friday night.

Can you order off lunch menu during brunch or is only the limited brunch menu available?

You can order off both

Is there a kids menu?

I don't think so. I didn't see one when I was there and there isn't one posted online. I'd say call just to be sure

Do you need reservations for Sunday brunch?

Yes! It's their busiest morning. Definitely try to get one in advance.

We had some running around to do and decided to stop there for a quick lunch. Splitting a burger was the plan but who can pass up their Crawfish and Brie Queso?!? Emma F was fabulous as our wait person and never let our tea glasses get more than half empty. Also, when we told her we were splitting the burger she made sure it was done for us and served on two plates. Excellent service from an obvious professional. We love both City Pork locations however, there is something about the ambiance of the Jefferson location.

The bbq salmon is good if you like more of a sweet salmon taste. I subbed the corn for mashed potatoes. The crawfish dip was mostly good it just didn't have a lot of crawfish in it. I also tried the brisket burger and it was externally yummy! Overall it's pretty good. The drinks are well priced, the food is maybe slightlyyyy pricey for what you get but great experience and nothing I batted an eye at. Cute little rustic vibe in the inside. I would go again

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.

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!
