Brian the server and young architect: My wife and I have worked in fine dining, Ruth's Chris and Brennan's, New Orleans; most servers find a way to irk me and disappoint. Brian's service was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly without getting in the way of our date.
Food: You can scarcely complain about any of the creole and New Orleans fusion served at Eliza; we have been loyal in particular for the gluten free fried seafood. For such a high quality place, however, I was disappointed to learn they are still using the industrial biproduct, "vegetable" oil, in their fryer instead of beef tallow or at least refined peanut oil (which does *not* cause allergic reactions).
I selfishly hope Eliza's can commit to clean oils in their kitchen, so they can once again be our go-to for fried seafood and perfect destination to show out of town friends a refined but casual experience of excellent south Louisiana fare.
Staff could not have been more pleasant. Wine menu was extensive with solid selections. Our mains were well made with fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and the menu took great care to provide top-notch options for vegans and gluten intolerant folks. While I’m not vegan, the chocolate vegan ice cream was incredibly decadent and delicious. The website pictures made me think seating was communal; it is not. We wish we could move this gem to our town.
I had lunch here with my son, who has Celiac’s Disease. The manager - Blake - was AMAZING. After talking with him, I had full confidence that they were going to make sure my son didn’t accidentally get gluten. When he ingests gluten, he throws up for 4-6 hours, so it’s serious. Blake even went out of his way and fried up the tortilla chips in a separate pan so my son could enjoy them. Almost all Mexican restaurants have gluten-free tortilla chips, but they’re contaminated because they’re cooked in the same fryer as things with flour. I felt like we were Blake’s own family, the way he took care of us. I highly recommend Tio Javi’s. The food was outstanding.
In the past this location was well managed. Staff no longer has concern for customers. Also used to have gluten free fries and menu - no longer. Very disappointed. Drastically different.
Amazing experience ! Rhonda is on it when it comes to dietary requirements. She introduced the Gluten-free menu and was so polite and friendly. Food was amazing as always. Thanks Rhonda for making my experience super !!
Rouj Creole has never disappointed! Servers could be more versed in what gluten-free means and what items contain gluten. Both times we’ve gone, they had to ask the kitchen, and still we haven’t been confident in what they reported back. However the food is excellent and I love the vibe. Depending on where you’re sitting can completely change you’re experience which I love.
Supper Club Baton Rouge is amazing! We went a few weekends ago for my best friends birthday. The atmosphere, staff and food all blew me away. The staff was very friendly and helpful when it came to accommodating me with gluten free items. They made the night very special and we’re all still talking about just how fun it was!
My husband and I had dinner and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the rotisserie chicken with house rub and the corn grits. Kennedy was our server and she was wonderful. I have a gluten allergy and she was very knowledgeable about my options and accommodating to my questions. She was friendly, kind, communicative, timely, and efficient. An overall pleasant and enjoyable dining experience. Thank you Kennedy!!
City Cafe is good Cajun food in SE Baton Rouge. Great for business lunch. Their outdoor seating is open most days. In the evening, they have live music. They have a gluten-free menu.
The food is delicious and the atmosphere is lovely. They also have a gluten-free menu that is amazing. It would be an excellent place if they didn’t allow smoking on the patio.
I can't stop eating these tacos. I always have a fish taco, a pork taco, and a margarita. Everything is fresh and flavorful. The menu is simple, but there is something for everyone: vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, and gluten-free. You will enjoy the food here. Outdoor seating only. However, the food is consistently good whether eating in person, takeout, or delivery. If local or visiting, give this place a try. You will be back!

I can see why Elsie’s has been a highly popular choice for locals and tourists alike! We stopped by for a hot lunch on our way to visit Mississippi. I chose Elsie’s bc they have gluten free options. I had the grilled chicken plate with red beans and rice, and broccoli. That chicken was SO dang good. I missed
getting the crustless crab pie (sadly) but the chicken plate sure made up for it! Hubby had a fried shrimp platter that he said was just okay. Bathroom is a single seater but seems to have a very short wait time. Parking is behind the street and then you can pop right back out to the highway pretty easily. Our server, Mei/May, was super cute and helpful. I took home about 1/2 the red beans and rice with the remaining broccoli. It was a perfect dinner reheated! It’s got some charm and nice artwork (some even for sale). Kinda like
popping in on your mom & them!
