The Chimes East - Baton Rouge (LA)

5 /5 Tammy: Coming back to Baton Rouge—I had to stop at The Chimes — and wow, it’s still just as amazing as I remembered. Some places change, but The Chimes feels timeless. I kicked things off with the Sautéed Crab Fingers — crab claws in white wine garlic butter with parsley. Honestly, that sauce alone is worth the trip. Then came my entrée: the Salmon Alfredo. Perfectly cooked salmon over creamy alfredo pasta, with a warm bread roll on the side. Comfort food at its finest. Walking back in after all these years felt like nothing had changed — the food, the vibe, the memories. The Chimes is still the spot that makes Baton Rouge feel like home.

5 /5 Ron Haggerton: Chimes The Chimes East on Coursey in Baton Rouge is a well hidden jewel of a local dining experience. The atmosphere and decor are great. I ordered the blackened pork chop with root beer glaze. STUNNING! The jambalaya side was good, but that pork chop was incredible. My wife ordered the seafood pasta and it was fantastic as well. The FIL ordered a roast beef poboy and loved it. They have a large beer menu and do sampling flights. The crown jewel in this place is the staff. From the hostess that seated us and laughed and joked along the way with us to our server Maddie. In my father in laws words, if we could find a way to bottle that energy, we would put Red Bull out of business. She was very attentive, laughed at my dumb jokes, and took great care of us. It is one thing when a restaurant is mediocre and has a meal saving staff, but when a great place has this top notch staff, it is refreshing. Definitely will return.

5 /5 Pennie Shaw: The food was fabulous. The boudin balls made for an extremely tasty appetizer. They were served with a delicious dip that was quite unique. The hush puppies were crispy and very light, well worth purchasing. The shrimp etoufe was delightful and cooked perfectly. The portion size was extremely generous.

5 /5 Shirley: This is my husband and I first time in Baton Rouge and this restaurant came highly recommended. I am glad we came here. Kendall the waitress was AMAZING, and gave great recommendations with the drinks and food. She was very attentive and nice. The food was great here. We will definitely be returning when we are back in Baton Rouge!
