This was a kick ass meal. We ate appetizers and sides. The red beans and rice and the (what I call) Jesus bread was my favorite, perfectly seasoned. Server was bad ass (Alex), winner winner all around. This place is a “must stop”.
The best food you can eat ... for me it is the best cajun seafood restaurant👍👍👍👍
Best chargrilled oysters in the area. They have a large selection of draft beer on tap. Good food and great atmosphere. I eat in the bar area most times but have eaten in the restaurant area as well. Both clean and good service.
I never realized that The Chimes was open late. No excuses anymore for crappy fast food after work. Having been to the original, I will say that the East location doesn’t miss a beat. Great service, warm atmosphere and of course an excellent meal. I had the chicken Alfredo with house salad. The salad is what you expect for a side item. Alfredo was delicious and the chicken was moist and tender. Not dry at all. Really, it’s hard to mess up chicken Alfredo, but it really hit the spot.
Great, and while not as historic as the original, in some ways better. Always try to come to The Chimes when in Baton Rouge, and the new location doesn't disappoint. Parking is much easier, and while it is decades newer than the original it still puts off the same atmosphere, but updated.
Can't go wrong with anything, but always a fan of the Po Boy, and how can you not like a Shrimp and Grits appetizer. While there are lots of great places in Baton Rouge, this should always be on your short list of the places to go, haven't found anything here that you shouldn't order.
I had the Crawfish Étouffée, it tastes Heavenly!
My husband had the Half & Half choice, with fried catfish and fried shrimp, and said it was real good also.
The waiter was very attentive and courteous.
There is a new menu, with prices a little higher than what was currently posted on this site; but the meal was still worth every cent!
Enjoyed the bar scene, very comfortable and plenty of selections. I like eating at the bar, oysters, soups, sandwiches are all good, no complaints. Lotta fried stuff on the menu. I did not like sitting in the actual restaurant as the service was below average. Distracted staff no refills on waters and tea. Sit at the bar, get a local brew, and enjoy the atmosphere/game.
Love this place! Perfect place for a girls night out, it can be a bit noisy but not to much of a problem. The food is delicious and the service is always good.
I have to say that The Chimes East was an awesome late night spot. We wanted food after 11 PM and every place that we found was packed. I pulled out my handy Zomato app and was automatically enamored by the selection of the Chimes East. Because of my obsession with red beans, I ordered the Red Beans and Rice, which was accompanied with a lovely small loaf of bread and a large side salad. My companion had the Gumbo, which also came with a large side salad. Everything was delightful. (especially our bill). The atmosphere was fun for that time of the evening, our server was attentive and also gave us samples of the gumbo prior to ordering it, and the food was way to yummy.
This Chimes location is not quite the original, but they did a good job building a new place that holds some of the charm of the original. I love the big wood beam and other design elements that make it look old. The food is great and thus is a test place to bring out-of-town guests. The same owners run it as own Parrain's, which explains a lot. Good daily lunch specials. Service is good.
Great service at the bar awesome food also, place looked packed from the parking lot but did not see anyone waiting in line. I was alone so went sit strait at the bar.
Foods always good! Service is always decent! My go to sandwich is the Grilled chicken with sweet potato fries. Hasn't let me down yet.. Can't beat that oyster half price special also!
