Elsie’s with 6 Out of State People

I haven’t been back to Baton Rouge in many years and I am here on business with coworkers and my husband. All of my local friends recommended.
Everyone loved their meal.
We started we the crawfish queso, and the cayenne dusted pork rinds were great with the dish.
The Seafood Pot Pie was enjoyed by several.
My crawfish bisque was a ridiculous portion. Instead of filling the heads, they made crawfish balls. I have leftovers for days!

I've only been to Elsie's once since I live outside of LA but my one experience was magical. I feel like the head chef is a stoner creating so many dishes with cheese and heavy creams.

How was the bisque? Looks old school with a good roux based gravy.

I am not a bisque expert as it is a time consuming process and complex dish, but this was outstanding. And when I say there was at least two and a half cups of bisque, with rice and 4-5 crawfish balls, I am trying how to nibble at it so nothing goes to waste!

Great restaurant and the seafood pie never disappoints. Its like seafood au gratin in a pie. What could be bad about that.

Elsie’s is a gem. Went during restaurant week and had the blackened redfish and it was incredible.

Came here to say how great this place was and saw this topic. I ate at Elsie’s for the first time last night, I got the Bbq burger and it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever ate. The pepper jelly on it was amazing and the fried onions were so good. I’ve eaten hundreds of different burgers but this one stands out. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the rest of the menu out.

Thank you for this. I have to be in BR on Monday for a funeral in that area. I have Elsie’s on our lunch.

What’s with all the downvotes?

Does anyone expect them to move locations to a bigger place? It just seems like they are busting at the seams. There was a 15 minute wait on a Wednesday night. I’m not complaining about the wait it was well worth it. Just curious if they would move to a bigger place.

The food is awesome, but the wait keeps me away too, sadly. Too many places these days are on reservation apps or have a less packed bar you can snag a barstool at.
Elsie’s is slammed constantly with bad parking to boot.
Maybe someday they’ll move somewhere large and it’ll feel less crowded.

Is there usually a wait for lunch as well? We may be there on a Monday.

Probably not, but it should be short if they do. You're going to love it GG.
