SoLou Baton Rouge - Baton Rouge (LA)

3 /5 twogrlsoneworld: Unimpressed with my visit and food unfortunately. Really would give 3.5 stars. We had a party of 7 with a reservation at 1:15pm. I called them saying we were running a few mins late and was told that was fine and we would get seated once we got there. We arrived and waited almost 45 minutes before being seated! What’s the purpose of a reservation if we still have to wait?! The ambiance was good bo complaints there. Busy for Sunday brunch. The food left us feeling underwhelmed. The shrimp corn dogs tasted like they were right out of the freezer. The cauliflower was decent. The crawfish scramble was decent but literally had no seasoning, had to add salt n pepper. Just really disappointed because I came in with high hopes.

5 /5 Abigail Sage: I love SoLou! I am pescatarian so I have a lot of options here. Vegetarians could eat here, but there aren’t many options. I ordered the Zydeco Cauliflower last time I went and it was AMAZING! The thai sweet chili sauce they use is insanely good. All of the cocktails I’ve had there were good too. The service is okay, the waitresses/waiters are always nice but the food takes a long time to come out. To be fair, it is always busy when I have eaten there for lunch and dinner. I recommend getting dessert, especially if it’s your birthday! The tabletop s’mores are really cute and good, but the white chocolate bread pudding is the best I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend eating here for birthdays, special occasions, a casual lunch or dinner, a celebration, etc.

5 /5 Stephani Guttery: We had brunch today, and everything we ordered was delicious. The hostess happily accommodated our seating preference, moving us from a cramped spot inside to a very nice table outside on the porch. I recommend the boudin queso as an appetizer. I ordered the Basic breakfast plate and it was very good, and a generous amount of food. I asked for the bacon to be crispy, and it was cooked perfectly. The corn grits are amazing. Highly recommend! Makenzie provided us with wonderful service, making our experience so pleasant.

5 /5 Eddie Zhang: Amazing food and even better service! Lucy was the best, and she came in clutch with the recommendations! We got the crawfish scramble with the shrimp and grits sauce per Lucy’s recommendation, and it was absolutely DIVINE. Don’t miss out on this gem of a restaurant!

5 /5 Dee C: In town for a dance convention so I googled places to eat and SoLou came up as a top place so we decided to give it a try for Sunday brunch. It did not disappoint. It was packed when we got there. Hostess said there was a 30 min wait but we got seated in less than 15. Waitress was super nice. She recommended the LouBerry and margarita drink. We enjoyed them. Also we had the crabmeat cheesecake and hot crawfish dip and they both were delicious. For dessert, we had the bread pudding. All of it was 10/10. Also, they serve pork rinds complimentary while you wait on your food. Seemed like everyone was celebrating a birthday that day so I know the staff sung Happy Birthday at least 10 times while we were there, but they all did it with a smile! Even the manager was singing right along with them. She even came by checking on us a couple of times. Great atmosphere and good fresh food. Will def go back.
