Nino's Italian Restaurant
Jan 28, 2008 by Wilson W. from Atlanta
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The food. The wine. The dessert. The coffee. The servers.
• Absolutely nothing at all.

“This just has to be one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever found.”

Uncle O's Cafe Inc
Dec 22, 2007 by Mary from Kansas City
Overall Rating: 8
Food:[9] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Food, owner is a really nice fellow.
• Sometimes the service can be a bit slow if they get busy.

“As a dam Yankee who has the good luck to get to work in baton rouge every so often, uncle O's is my favorite place to eat, hands down. The Monday red beans & rice w/ Andouille and Friday fried catfish covered with crawfish Etouffee lunch specials are great food for great value. The best thing on the menu, however, is the crab bisque. Not to be missed! I've been trying to pry the recipe out of the owner since 1998, with no luck. I've traveled all over the US and in Europe; found no crab bisque anywhere as well as this. That's o.k.; it only makes me look forward to my trips to baton rouge more.”

The Melting Pot

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[3] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Friendly service.
• Over Priced for what little selection you get.

“I went in with an open mind and tried everything. Nothing seemed to taste right. And by the time we left there everyone in my party weren't feeling too hot. And it was way overpriced for having to cook your own food!”

Don'S Seafood And Steakhouse Of Baton Rouge Inc
Mar 31, 2007 by Janis from Boston
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[5] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Hush puppies.
• Sorry, nothing much.

“So sad to see yet another Louisiana tradition that has deteriorated to this level. I am originally from LA and when I go home to visit family, always stop at Don's on Airline Hwy in Baton Rouge. This last stop was, unfortunately, my final trip there. We went early on a Saturday evening to avoid the rush. Our waiter was either new (and poorly trained) or just nonchalant and could have cared less about service. He forgot our drink order. We had asked for water and did not receive any. I had to go to the bar myself and get two glasses of water. Don's used to offer freshly starched white table cloths which lent an air of dignity. They have been replaced with white vinyl. The hush puppies that magically appeared were great, as always but I'm afraid that was the highlight of the dinner. We were a party of four and tried a variety of "platters" as well as gumbo. The gumbo was nasty, no other word for it. The platters were nondescript and greasy. Worst of all, (I obviously cannot prove it, but certainly think this to be the truth) the crinkle-cut french fries were straight out of the bag! ”

• Always a pleasure to eat there.
• Sometimes the gumbo is not hot enough.

“The best gumbo around. Always consistent. Great crab bisque too. Everything else is great. We just really love his soups.”
