Willie's Restaurant

We decided to come try something new here in Baton Rouge, and I'm really glad we did. PROS: The food was perfect! A fantastic blend of seafood meets breakfast! Staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive.
The atmosphere was upbeat, organized, and clean even though we personally ate outside in this beautiful weather! The price was a bit high, but for us personally, the quality, portions, and flavor reflected the price so I can overlook that. CONS: Really, no cons, just a couple of things.
The parking lot was full, but I can see why.
It's a popular place so I can overlook this.
Secondly, the waitress could have been quicker with the service, but again, I could overlook this due to the number of people there, and she made it clear she did not wish to rush us. OVERALL: Highly recommend this place! If you're willing to spend the extra money for quality food and drinks, and if you are also OK with a lot of people, then I say go for it! We will be returning again soon!

My family and I just left this establishment (6/21/24) and we were well pleased with the knowledgeable staff we were appointed with.
Our kids finished all of their kids meal,Shrimp poppers.
I had their Redfish Ryn and it was delicious! I had it will a side of Mac and cheese and it was just a basic Mac but good enough to please the food palate.
My husband had their Southern Fried Fish and I had a taste of it and the fish was fried and battered perfectly! My nephew got their Seafood potato but he wasn’t pleased with the taste.
I tasted it as well and it was bland.
But overall, we would come back and we recommend to try!

We stopped here on the way back to Texas.
Boy do we like this place.
The shrimp were perfectly cooked.
Too many places overcook their shrimp but Willie’s got it perfectly right.
It was seasoned to my liking , spicy and hot, and had a side dipping sauce that really went well with the shrimp.
It gave it an extra kick of heat.
We also ordered crawfish which my husband took down like the true southerner from LA that he is.
The crawfish were larger than normal but very reasonably priced.
The atmosphere was really laid back and comfortable.
They have quite a few very interesting items on the menu.
We sat somewhat outside.
The service was acceptable and very friendly.
We will definitely be back for another meal the next time we are in town.
They have a good selection of drinks and wine.
This is a repeat dining spot.
A Gem!
