Which restaurant do you think has the best flavor/textured fried shrimp in the Baton Rouge area?
I use to feel Chimes but I had them recently and they were very bland. Parrains and Roux 61 were always good in the past but it's been awhile since I've eaten at either establishment.

Mike Andersons used to be tops for me but for fried seafood specifically, Hot Tails executes it the best in the BR area.

I'm partial to Don's and Duke's. I like their bread crumb breading. Mike Anderson's is right up there as well.

And while not just fried shrimp, Dempsey's fried stuffed shrimp are great.

Elsie's isn't known for their shrimp and catfish, but they're both excellent.

Louisiana Lagniappe does fantastic fried oysters. I add them to my salad every time.

City Cafe on ONeal has great fried shrimp. They do a little bit of everything, but it is all good.

It’s all my 98 year old Dad eats when he goes out (well, crab claws when they have them) and he swears no one tops Mike Anderson’s on West Lee.

What is it with Greek places and good fried shrimp? I am told Poseidens in Lafayette has the best fried shrimp in town.

The onion rings @ Dempsey's are good also, reminds me of Luther's Barbeque onion rings from years ago..
