This is our newest favorite spot to enjoy Louisiana food!! The food was to die for and the staff was great. We never waited longer than 5 to 10 minutes for any of the plates we ordered, yet tasted perfectly!! We had the turtle soup with the home made rolls, the whole shebang for dinner and the pecan pie a la mode!! We would absolutely recommend this place for a great date night out!!
Tonight at Parrains I witnessed the most amazing display of true compassion, courage, teamwork and pride. From top to bottom the fantastic staff defended a young patron from a idiot bigot at the bar. The speed with which they dispatched this crude scum was startling and one of Baton Rouge 's finest sealed the deal.
Both Kristian and Fallan the bartenderssped from behind the bar to end the verbal assault and the Managers, Adam and Katie appeared out of nowhere. They addressed the young man and woman and did everything they could to comfot them, apologize and make it known that behavior was out of bounds. The officer calmly but forcefully with Taser ready removed the moron from the premises.
On that alone there are not enough stars to give them. I mean it was both horrendous and redeeming in the same instance.
We were shortly afterwards shown our seats for dinner. Our waitress asked if we had come from the bar and proceeded to apologize to us.
We enjoyed or overindulged on an amazing meal which to me was icing on the cake.
Sorry for the long post but this had to be said. I would patronize Parrains every time I came to Baton Rouge.
What a night and i hope this young couple can reflect on the actions of the staff and other patrons not the imbecile.
Nothing bad can be said about this restaurant!!! This is probably the best seafood restaurant in Baton Rouge. Their chargrilled oysters are a family favorite. Don't skip this place!!!
Great staff but more important incredible grilled fresh oysters! I had 6 raw and 6 from the grill - if you sit at the bar they shuck them right in front of you as well as cooking them on the grill!
Umm DELICIOUS and a staple you MUST visit if you're visiting Baton Rouge. The seafood is outstanding and the oysters on the half shell can't be beat. I think they have an outer special too on certain days. You can't go wrong!
Long overdue for another visit here as they are top five in the local area overall.
Sort of a more casual seafood lovers place along the lines of Lagniappe but much more approachable with larger dining area, really great bar and top oysters in the area, raw and grilled.
Some dishes are big enough to share and some can be very rich so keep that in mind.
Putting it back on our list for a visit soon.
Went here yesterday and again today. My husband and I were blown with the food. It was simple home style Cajun food. Tommy was our waiter and was great, very attentive. We had charbroiled oysters, gumbo, crab and corn bisque, Pontchatrain fish, filleted drum, the whole shebang, and the boudin omelet!
This was a meal oh so close to perfection. The service was excellent. The bread oh the bread was addictive. My fish was cooked perfectly. The gumbo was on the creole side and my only knock as it was just warm not hot. I do highly recommend Parrins to anyone wanting a good seafood meal.
Unbelievably awesome. Food and service was tops. Informal atmosphere, so come prepared to chillax and eat with friends. Drum fish dishes outstanding.
This is the authentic Cajun/Creole style fixings... oysters bienville, boudin, fried alligator, boiled shrimp and crawfish... and those are just the appetizers. Add soups like seafood gumbo, crab and corn bisque, turtle soup and you are in Louisiana bayou country. Entrées read like... Andouille Encrusted Fresh Fish, Crawfish Etouffe, Catfish Perdou, BBQ Drum Fish, New Orleans BBQ Shrimp, and these, together with an outstanding meat menu, put you in South Louisiana, feasting on sumptuous, super seasoned, country style cuisine and "Passing a good time". Not only is the restaurant recommended, it is essential if you want to taste Louisiana...LAISSER LA BON TEMPS ROULETTE!!
The grilled oysters were fantastic - mahi mahi was cooked to perfection and the creole sauce was spot on. Service was very helpful and attentive. Definitely will go here again next time I'm in town.
First time visit. Food was some of the best I have had anywhere. Oysters on the half shell were large. Grill oysters www amazing. Will be back the next time I am in town. Service was good.
