Pat's Seafood on Jefferson

Guys and Gals,
I know reviews can be harsh on this board and expectations can be high. Rightfully so when you are spending your hard earned money.
I don't have any "board" cred, but I like this place. 4th time here and it's been good every time. I'm from the Acadiana area and this place is the only one in Baton Rouge that reminds me of home.
Tonight we had crawfish boullettes , fried gator , étouffée , frog legs , crab dinner and catfish. All damn fine. Previously have had the oysters , the gumbo and the duck and it's been on the money.
Maybe the location isn't right , but the service is fantastic and the owner is a genuinely nice guy it seems.
I'd say give it a shot if you want some Acadiana style seafood. I think it's better than the one in Henderson and the old one on Hwy 90.
Just giving a heads up for anyone that maybe likes that style of cooking.

To each his own. I've had 2 disgusting meals there. Won't be back for a third.

I've never gone to Pat's because of the terrible reviews I've read on here. I just checked out their online menu and the prices look pretty steep. But that's not unusual because a lot of places like Portobello's for example get a premium for marginal food. I'd like to hear some good things about Pat's from a few other posters before I give them a try.

I used to like their Lake Chrles location all right, but BR has too many other options of great restaurants to go to that I see no point in going to a high priced and mediocre place.

Pat's food is horrible and the prices are insane. You've gotta be either an employee or a Huval family member.

I can't speak for the food, but I have only heard bad things. Plus, if I remember correctly, the gumbo was like $20 or something.
No.
No.

I've only been once, and I left most my food on the table. Worst experience of my life.

No issue with the posts in this thread, just saying some others have a much different opinion and I suppose coincidentally , it was primarily people from areas with a tradition of good food , which I wouldn't say Baton Rouge has much in comparison.
My apologies sir, us lowly Baton Rougeans aren't smart enough to know when the greatest food in the world is at our doorstep. Admins, please flag all Baton Rougeans so the intelligent posters from elsewhere can know which opinions to discount.

When I went, I found the food to be good, but not special. The prices weren't bad (outside of the comically priced apps), but there are better options at that price point. The service was a little slow, but still reasonable.
It's not a bad place, just not exceptional in any way. There are better places in terms of quality, price, portions, atmosphere, and service, but also worse ones as well.
It's just...average.

I'm gonna walk into the restaurant on lunch and shout "tigerdroppings!".
The guy who immediately looks shifty is getting punched in the face.
I'm guessing you're a new manager.

Stuffed Mushroom appetizer at 18 dollars ?
Are they crazy ? That place is overpriced as hell. Between that and the bad reviews , I'll never go.

See my post from the last thread on this.

I went there last night, even after reading this thread, because my sister in law wanted to try it out.
I got the broiled catfish with asparagus. It was one catfish filet... maybe 6-8 oz and it looked to be seasoned with only Tony's or some other Cajun seasoning. The asparagus was, I shite you not, 3 pieces of asapragus... THREE. The catfish was $16.95 and they put a $3 UPCHARGE because I got asparagus instead of a stuffed potato. That means I paid $1 extra per piece of asparagus on top of whatever price they already worked into the meal for the potato. I'm not a cheap arse or anything but I was really disappointed. $19.95 for one catfish filet and 3 pieces of asparagus.

If you re from Acadiana you should be ashamed of yourself. You should be able to make better food at home. The mystique of Pats and the Huvals are long gone. I ate at pats in Henderson as much as any local probably did growing up and into the early 90s and the food was decent to good for those early years.... Had relatives that lived out there. Then everything started tasting the same when they built that damn town out there. 
I'm from Acadiana and I 100% cook better than that poor excuse of cajun food. It's a tourist trap no different than Landrys.
