Interesting.
Well seems to be agreement here.

I like the place , though.
I ate at the bar last night and this fella from thibodaux was there eating , as well ,and we struck up a conversation about the food. He was once a cook at Politze in Thibodaux and he was also sayin how much he liked the food there. A table of people from Lafayette came and asked to speak to the owner and he came out and the heaped praise on him sayin this was good Acadiana style food and , of course , I agreed.

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.
Regardless, I've eaten there a few times and enjoyed it very much.
Like I said , reminds me more of home than any other restaurant I've eaten at in Baton Rouge.

I had a crawfish platter and it came with étouffée. It also came with a crawfish pie. The problem is, the pie was nothing more than more étouffée stuck in a pie shell. The "stuffed bell pepper" was actually 1/3 of a bell pepper and I are it in two bites. Just look at the photo -- it was pitiful... not to mention expensive.

Probably because you work there.

Zero percent chance any of that actually happened. That place is junk.

Besides the fact that it is painfully obvious you're an owner, employee, or family member/friend.. you're not going to get anywhere coming here and insulting people. Baton Rouge is 45 minutes away from Lafayette and they cook primarily in the Cajun style (rather than Creole).

Sure, things like good boudin, grillades, ponce, etc. aren't so much normal home cooking here like they are in Cajun country -- but this restaurant serves none of those things anyway. I've had red beans, gumbo, jambalaya, and étouffée in BR that were all comparable to my family's cooking in Basile. Some even better.

Everyone here is in agreement, and you take that and turn it into an insult claiming BR people just don't know "good food". For that alone, I hope for your sake that you aren't affiliated with the restaurant.

ETA: This shouldn't be surprising to you either -- as the Yelp average for the place is 2 stars.

Fried items were ok until they tried to make stuffed items. Stuffed shrimp, stuffed bell pepper...the stuffing taste like cardboard. I am not a picky eater and never complain at restaurants but I couldn't even eat my food. I had the Creole Shrimp Platter. It didn't even come with the correct quantity of shrimp. I had 1 fried shrimp, 1 stuffed shrimp (shrimp wrapped in cardboard), 2 of the tiniest specks of cocktail shrimp. I didn't even know shrimp came that small. It was also suppose to have hushpuppies but they left those out. I had a cup of gumbo and it was pretty good. That was about all I ate for $24.95. I really wish I had taken a picture.

Wow, you're not helping matters any with that kind of statement. I officially declare you an irrelevant poster.

Pat's not only needs better food, but also a better spokesperson.
