The 10 Best Places To Eat Out In Baton Rouge, Louisiana
"Louisiana Lagniappe Restaurant has been the recipient of a number of regional Baton Rouge dining awards, including designations as the city's best seafood and Cajun-Creole restaurant. The restaurant, which opened its first location in Destin, Florida in 1984 and moved to Baton Rouge in 1998, is named in honor of a colloquial word meaning "a little something extra" and showcases a full menu of time-tested Louisiana-style cuisine favorites at lunch and dinner. House specialties include fresh fish en papillote, fish pontchartrain and Louisianne, shrimp and Andouille sausage pasta, and chicken Acadiana."
"Louisiana Lagniappe Restaurant, Baton Rouge|© Courtesy Mason's Grill. The word ‘lagniappe’ means something with ‘a little bit extra’, a fitting description for this Louisiana restaurant whose doors first opened back in 1984. Now an established name on Baton Rouge’s dining scene, the Louisiana Lagniappe is renowned for serving up classic Louisiana dishes with fresh ingredients."
"If you’re looking for classic Louisiana Creole cuisine, this Baton Rouge restaurant highlights the seafood taken straight from the Gulf. The all-time favorites from Louisiana Lagniappe’s menu are the Seafood Gumbo and the Corn & Crab Bisque. However, for the seafood lover, there’s a whole range of choice, and if it's available, Crawfish dishes are a must-try."
"Located on the historic Highland Road, Sammy’s has been serving up all of the best Louisiana dishes since opening in 1988. A family-friendly restaurant with arcade games for the kids and those adults who never want to grow up. Try the topped blackened tilapia, shrimp, or crawfish, or the Acadian catfish, a fried catfish filet smothered in crawfish etouffee."
"Sammy’s Grill is another must-try casual spot for gumbo and Southern favorites. Sammy’s opened as a neighborhood spot in the late 1980s, and now it has locations in Baton Rouge, Central, Prairieville and Zachary. Sammy’s has a decent selection of soups, including tasty seafood gumbo, crab bisque, shrimp and corn soup and crawfish etouffee."
"You probably know the name well from football – Mike Anderson was an All-American Linebacker at LSU. In 1975, Mike Andersons’ Seafood was established and has become a staple in Baton Rouge and famous for their dishes like “The Guitreau,” “Shrimp Norman” and their delectable raw and chargrilled oysters!"
"Mike Anderson’s has some of the best seafood gumbo in Baton Rouge. Mike Anderson, an All-American football player with LSU, first opened Mike Anderson’s College Town Seafood & Oyster Bar in 1975. It started with a small menu but quickly grew to offer more food and outgrow its space."
"Whether you sit out on the patio or inside, grab your food to go or have it delivered, the Baton-Rouge style gumbo from Jasmines on the Bayou will be mouthwatering no matter where you eat. The hearty gumbo is made with generous chunks of chicken and sausage. Get just the gumbo, or enjoy a cup with a shrimp or catfish po’ boy."
"Dempsey’s, a well-known Louisiana restaurant started by a husband and wife team, knows its gumbo. Located on Coursey Boulevard, cooks up a big batch of roux every day — that means the gumbo is fresh. Take your pick of seafood gumbo or the chicken and andouille, a traditional spicy, Cajun sausage."
