Parrain's Seafood

Everytime I call to reserve a table, they always have an excuse as to why I can't. They don't do reservations on the weekend's. The parking sucks and the staff could use more training.

Plenty of food for the price & was delicious. Sat outside on the patio. It was busy, but still had great service. We ordered shrimp & catfish dinner, oyster & catfish dinner,& chicken dinner. All were wonderful! Food, service, & atmosphere. Will definitely b back!

Shrimp, Crawfish and Crabmeat Pasta was full of shell... Not happy. My wife ordered me a plate and brought this home after a business meeting. I don't know about you, but for a higher end seafood restaurant, I expect to get seafood pasta without the shell. It was full of it.

Food was ok. But the service was horrible and the attitude of the staff was horrible.

I would recommend anybody to go there.. All the food is great, hot & delicious.. The place is clean & organized..this is a great place .. The menu has many choices

it's a nice atmosphere but it does get crowded and portions are small plus the help could use some extra training

Writing this review to counter the 1 star from other reviewer. Read my comment. This is a wonderful restaurant, great service, excellent food (love the half and half). Never had a bad meal, and tried everything!

What a great selection of delicious Cajun food! When visiting Baton Rouge recently, everyone told me that this place served the best Cajun food and I wasn't disappointed. I also visited Mike Anderson's, Drusilla Seafood, and another restaurant whose name I can't remember. But, after I discovered Parrain's, I ate here four days straight because the food was so good and there was so much that I wanted to try. The service was great, the beer selection good and cold, the serving sizes were huge and the setting looked like an old Cajun house. I didn't have a better meal even in New Orleans. A great family place that is not to be missed.

I had the gumbo, slaw, drumfish w/dirty rice. Everything was excellent. I have never had drumfish but it was a very mild fish and I will have it again for sure. The slaw and gumbo were very good also. I was there on a Sunday evening. It was pretty crowded but the service was very good. They had a very good beer selection also (both draft and bottles). They had outside seating and tables at the bar wih no waiting.

Worst customer service ever. They don't take reservations and won't accommodate a group. Very rude and snobby, in a city that abhors snobby. The food is barely average, overpriced. Don't bother. Try one of the other great seafood places in town.

this place has great seafood, but the service was only fair. the portions was on the small side considering the prices. the surroundings are nice to look at, but there has always been aleast a 20 minute wait for a table.

I always know what I'm gonna get here-the same great seafood. Service is great and the porch is awesome, heated in the winter.

If you're craving somethin Cajun, this place is perfect. It's a casual place that's ideal for a ""stop-in"" on a whim. Try their seafood platters, they're all cooked to perfection and you get alot of it!

Just a fun place to get really good (mostly fried) seafood and Cajun. Their specialty fish dishes are really a treat! Service is consistently friendly and efficient. A family favorite.
