We came on a Sunday afternoon around 3. We made a reservation but didn't need one. I loved the vibe and beautiful patio. It would be a great happy hour hangout. They gave us pork rinds as snack before our meal. We enjoyed the holiday themed cocktails but I wish we would have tried the regular ones. I ordered the steak and my husband the salmon. The salmon won by far! The steak was good but was missing a wow factor. If you're near the mall it's a great place to try. read more

My husband and I were there late on a Sunday evening just for a snack. It wasn't overcrowded or noisy. We sat at the bar to have drinks and appetizers. You get a complementary serving of chicharrones (fried pork rinds) if you want them. They were fresh and yummy! The apps were delicious. We had the crab dip and spicy cauliflower. And I must say whoever decided to make frozen Mint Juleps is a genius! The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a lovely patio area. Would definitely go back to try out more of the menu items. read more

Some friends and I went to brunch here on Saturday morning. We had a reservation and was sat immediately. There are two dining areas. One inside and one outside. We chose to sit outside. It was a nice day and they had fans so there was a constant breeze. Service was great. All of the staff there are super friendly and helpful! They all work as a team! Our Waiter Noah was friendly. He made our visit pleasant. Food didn't disappoint. We ordered a few appetizers. Crab dip which was really good. Boudin queso which savory!! We also tried the spinach and artichoke dip. All came with fresh pita chips! For entrees we had the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and marscapone French toast!! Everything was really good. I also tried the corn grits and they were seasoned to perfection. At the end of our brunch, our server brought us to go waters and a sweet surprise which was cotton candy! A very nice farewell! I would definitely recommend this spot for any occasion!! read more

Went to brunch at SoLou to celebrate my best friend's birthday. The staff was very accommodating and sat our party although everyone hadn't arrived. The decor is modern, plush and inviting. Our servers were so attentive. I started with a White Espresso Rose Martini which reminded of a white chocolate martini. We also ordered the Champagne bar a few times ($30) and they did not disappoint. The sweet potato pancakes were good, but I didn't taste the sweet potato flavor. The beignet puffs were light and delicious. The Creole Egg Bowl stole the show for me! Unfortunately the Frozen Julep Freeze was only available on-the-rocks, but it was pretty good. Overall, I can't wait to return to try more from their brunch menu! read more

SoLou - Sweet potato pancake - New American Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Good restaurant in Louisiana. Had the following: Chicken and waffles - really liked this and the strawberry maple sauce was a nice touch Shrimp corn dogs - were good but overpriced for the amount you get. Shrimp and grits - was really tasty but super rich and a heavy dish to eat as a main dish. Wish it was more of a cup size with a salad to balance it out. Was just really heavy to eat as a full entree The cotton candy and the chicharrons for a free appetizer and dessert is a nice touch Ambiance was great and a very happening place with a lot of people Probably wouldn't go back if I was in the neighborhood, but it was definitely worth trying the first time. read more

Love love SoLou. Their courtyard transports you from Baton Rouge. It is so nice and relaxing, like an oasis. The burger is rich but amazing and has to be one of my favorites I've ever had. The shrimp corn dogs are so good - a must try!! This place is always poppin, especially on weekends with all the brunch parties. Book a reservation if you can! And be prepared for parking... not the best situation but well worth it for the food and experience. read more

Our experience at SoLou was decent. My husband and I had reservations on a Saturday at 7 pm. We were seated at a small table for 2 in the bar area, which felt a little tight and squeezed in. The noise level was quite high, so I wouldn't recommend it for a date night, but it's more suitable for a family and friends outing. Unfortunately, our waiter forgot to bring us water, and we're pretty sure he just plain forgot about us after we received our entrees. However, he was a nice guy. As for the food and drinks, our cocktails were tasty, the Crabmeat Cheesecake was okay, the truffle fries were good but lukewarm, and we enjoyed the ribs. read more

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. And the Julep freeze keeps bringing us back.

Yummy yummy!!! The brunch menu at SoLou is elite!! The boudin biscuit is what dreams are made of! The biscuit melts in your mouth and the boudin is a perfect flavor of savory. If you plan on going on a Sunday at noon I recommend booking a reservation. read more

Fantastic choice!!! Fabulous ambiance! Food was delicious and the service was great!!!! Highly recommend this place to dine!

The food was absolutely delicious! Started out with some blackberries margarita, absolutely recommend. I hadn't been to SoLou in about 2-3 years and went back today looking for the spinach dip. Even though it wasn't on the menu, we ordered the crab dip and it was delightful. I ordered the chili glazed salmon and i don't love Brussel sprouts but everything was so good. The salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoning was on point! We ended the night with some cheesecake that had pecans, mouthwatering! The entire time the waitress was asking if we needed anything else, super sweet and suggested us plates to try. The ambiance was good, not many people since it was 7pm on a Monday night. Overall, i will be back and will tell everyone about the great dinner I had. read more

Excellent service with CiiCii! Very personable and attentive. She really added to our experience!

My friends and I came here for brunch. The restaurant is super cute, and the staff are friendly. I love a good mimosa, and the food was pretty good overall. The only complaint my friends and I had was that the eggs seemed like they were made from powdered eggs. The texture was spongy and they were very salty, which was odd since everything else was good. read more

(Not pictured ) Charbroiled Oysters Shrimp Corn Dogs Both the oysters and the corn dogs were fantastic. I will be returning for brunch to try more dishes. The Grilled Cheese plate needed work. I am personally not a fan of the candied bacon jam it tasted like the fake bacon pieces. The cheese wasn't melted and I ended up sending it back to the kitchen. I believe they took it off my order bc I only had one bite. I appreciated that greatly. I got corn and crab bisque instead of the tomato soup and I wish I would've gotten the tomato soup but the bisque was ok. The shrimp and grits plate also needed a little work the grits were hard and bland. My fiancée did not eat but four bites. The brownie was a little hard but it was okay The s'mores were pretty good and I believe those were homemade marshmallows. I really enjoyed the feeling of solou everyone was kind, the staff was very friendly a few even complimented my dress and everyone gets complimentary, freshly made cotton candy with jam and caramel. read more

I will say this about Solou - their appetizers and happy hour are incredible. The service for me has been hit or miss (specifically during brunch and dinner service) but during happy hour this time and nearly every time I've been, the wait staff has been lights out - attentive, quick with recommendations, and patient with our intentions to drink a lot of wine prior to eating anything. My favorites on the food menu are the Crab Dip with its creamy luxuriousness and a crispy buttered toast for dipping, the Shrimp Corn Dogs (a mandatory order anytime I walk in the door), and the Zydeco Cauliflower (think flash fried cauliflower with a sweet and sour sauce on top). We found out this visit that they've expanded their happy hour to include ALL wines by the glass on the menu. This is wines at ANY price point - as long as they sell it by the glass. Their happy hour is only from 4-6 Monday-Friday so I highly recommend you hitting this up! read more

We went for lunch on a week day and found out brunch is served everyday. Which was a nice surprise. Our waitress was very good. The service was very fast. They also give you pork skins before your meal. We ate inside but they do have a very nice outdoor seating area also. They also give you cotton candy after your meal for free. read more

First off, LOVE LOVE LOVE the vibe of the restaurant. There's also a nice patio with garage doors. I've been wanting to come here for a long time. I heard good things about this place. I needed some me time I decided to grab some dinner and catch happy hour. Kiyah was my bartender/server she was really nice. My happy hour drink (strawberry hill) was amazing! I needed 2-3 more. For my appetizer I have the zydeco cauliflower. The cauliflower itself was good. However, it was way too much aioli....it was drenched which made it a little soggy. It should have been drizzled, and maybe some on the side for dipping. I had the solou burger it was delicious. read more

I have to boast about SoLou once again! After coming back a few times since my last review, I've had great eats, great service, and even better memories! My last trip was truly a delight as we had the hot chicken hummus and truffle fries for appetizers. I tried the chicken and waffles for my entree. The chicken was mistakenly not sent out the first time, and the chef himself came out to apologize! It's truly the little efforts that make a night more special. To top of it all, we had a custom cotton candy plate with "Girls Night @ SoLou" written on top in chocolate! Truly such a special place in BR and if you haven't been...where are you?! read more

Absolutely love the service and the environment. We had the truffle fries as an appetizer and it was amazing. I had the chicken and waffles as a meal and it never fails. However, my friend is gluten free. The physical menu its self is so so sad. Like what. The least you could do is laminate the paper. She said her burger was dry and they gave her onion rings, which are not gluten. She also was not feeling the best after dinner so something she was given was off. Love the food. Love everything but the gluten free menu. It could be so much better. read more

AMAZING BRUNCH and Amber B was amazing! Our table had the burger, shrimp and grits, sweet potato pancakes and crab cheesecake! Delicious!!

Excellent service, even during a lunch rush! Drinks, food, service, atmosphere, 10/10 !

What a treat! We had the Boudin Queso appetizer, followed by their signature Chicken and Waffles which was out of this world. For dessert, it was the Turtle Cheesecake with candied pecans. Yummy!! Our server Alyssa went above and beyond. We mentioned an upcoming anniversary and she brought out pink cotton candy with a raspberry drizzle. The ambiance was upbeat and light. I highly recommend SoLou as a must-do! read more

Yesterday had a chance to visit this restaurant, my rating for this restaurant would be 3.5 but I do not have that option. We started off with the drinks (and had starters (shrimp corn dogs and zydeco cauliflower) these were very tasty and then had our main dish (solou burger, bbq shrimp pasta, fish tacos and chili grilled salmon) in these I loved bbq shrimp pasta and salmon, but few more shrimps in pasta would be better and the other 2 were okayish...Finally ended with a cotton candy which was very yummy. Coming to the drawbacks I felt the service of little late and ambience is pretty average, you don't feel anything noticeable or new. But you should ho and try this place for sure!! read more

I had the Shrimp and Grits, Cheesecake, and Crab Meat Bisque. All the food was delicious and top notch. The service was excellent and quick. Love the atmosphere. Oh yea the pork skins were great!!! read more

The service and atmosphere were absolutely amazing. Tonight we had a dinner for my cousins birthday. To begin, I was greeted by the hosts, Hannah and Alisha. We sparked up a conversation about how busy the restaurant was tonight. They were amazing. Super kind and attentive. Got us seated as soon as they could and even cleaned the tables off for us. They were running around on a busy night doing more than hosts should (From personal experience working as a server) They were great. Then, our server Abram was even more amazing. He introduced himself and recommended some dishes for us to try. He held his very very busy section up very well. Now for the food, we had the corn dogs, boudin quesadilla, pork rinds and steak. It was all amazing. We will be back. read more

Flies, everywhere. Food was okay, but its hard to enjoy a meal when you are constantly being bothered by fruit flies and house flies. Hostess brought over a bug spinny fan thing, which was a welcomed service/gesture but absolutely had no effect on the flies. I smooshed atleast 9 fruit flies to no avail. Hire a pest control company, and set uv traps it really gave us the ick. Owner replied with intent to resolve the issue, which is satisfactory to me. read more

The food was delicious! And love having classic dishes with a twist. The ambiance is great, quite chic. The service was great! Can't wait to come back and try more things! The appetizers alone were to die for good! Loved the spicy cauliflower. My rotisserie chicken was moist and delicious. The crabmeat cheesecake is very different and highly recommend. The Brussels sprouts were so tasty! Can't wait to try more dishes from here! read more

Came here for brunch with my husband after looking at the menu and very glad that we to find a new brunch spot to add to the list! I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance or you will definitely have to wait, thankfully we had a reservation so we were seated fairly quickly. Once seated, you are greeted by a friendly server and they place pork skins on the table for you to snack on while you check out the menu. The menu definitely has a lot to choose from and from the items we chose we very satisfied. This place is somewhere I would recommend as the overall vibe is very nice and they have the right aesthetic for you to get your Instagram pics in while you're there! read more

I was super worried coming here just because the reviews from my friends were very mixed. For starters this place is super trendy. Very cute for a date night. Loved the bar area. The seats looked really comfortable. However I did sit at a high top instead. The service was amazing and consistent throughout. My server made me feel super comfortable considering I felt lost with the menu. For starters : boudin quesadilla. I personally wasn't wild about it. However the person I was with absolutely loved it. Then we moved on to a charcuterie board of basically just meat. Once again I personally wasn't wild about it. However the person I was with was obsessed with it! I ended up getting the ahi tuna *more my style. And I absolutely love it. I love when they put it on a salt block. I then got the cauliflower app. Hands down best cauliflower I've ever had. I dipped the tuna in the hot sauce that was on the place and it was *chefs kiss* Then the ending was cheesecake. When I say this was the best cheesecake I've ever had...I literally will crave this weekly. It was smooth & creamy. There was fresh blueberries on top. I just wish there was more of it! The drinks were okay. I got a strawberry specialty cocktail that was too sweet in my opinion. Then I got a Moscow mule which I'd never disappointing. Then I got a floral cocktail that I could've done without! I would probably stick to wine here. read more

I had to come see what all the hype is about and I was pleasantly pleased. We did make reservations a week early and so glad we did. The people behind us did not have a reservation and were quoted a 2-3 hr wait time for 2 on a Friday. So with that said this place is popular and book it before you walk in on a weekend. This place was really cute. They famous swings from the previous place is gone and it's more updated and setting the vibe. I absolutely loved the chairs they had for the smaller tables. On to the food, we got the alligator sausage hotdog entree and the rib entree with the shrimp corn dog for an app. I would really like a lifetime supply of those shrimp corn dogs. I don't eat corn dogs but of course it was shrimp in lieu of a hot dog in the batter and it was perfect together. The ribs were so tender and good and hubs liked his entree as well minus the mango green sauce I believe it was but our waitress recommended it on the side for that reason. Also thank you very much to the waitress who had no issue with me craft my hurricane with a different ingredient with no issue and the bartender. It was really good and the frozen drink was as well. Sub the lime juice in the hurricane for the coconut liqueur and thank me later. Will be back! read more

After trying several times last year, we finally were able to try this very popular place. We put in a reservation a week early for lunch! This beautiful and chic jewel of a restaurant is very popular. My niece and I arrived for lunch as were seated right away. The waitress was very attentive and quick to assist. We order plenty of items and enjoyed everything. Pictures follow and the food is simply great. I will say that the oyster blt has a lot of flavors to it which was kinda too much for me but I ate it (deconstructed styled) and it was much better to me. Prices vary but great service and food is priceless read more
