Elsies Plate & Pie - (Near Baton Rouge, LA)

5 /5 Bailey Tisdale: Was in BR for 3 days visiting my family and ate here ALL 3 days. Absolutely incredible!! Over the course of 3 days we got crawfish queso (every single time this was def the best and got toasted bread with it), chicken pot pie, seafood pot pie, fried shrimp plate, crawfish hand pie, fried chicken and red beans and rice and seafood bisque, blueberry hand pie with lemon glaze (got this every single time)….1. Crawfish queso is an absolute must. 2. Seafood pot pie has got to be the best entree on the menu 3. Even if you don’t like pie you must get the blueberry fried pie….top 3 dessert i’ve ever had. The chicken pot pie was a strong runner up and i got parmesan potatos. The fried chicken and red beans were just that, nothing great. Crawfish hand pie was least fave. Loooooove this place will be back and tell everyone to come!

5 /5 Emily M: Can’t say enough good things about this place! Their food is delicious, the service is always top tier, and the pie is the best! We’ve been here multiple times and never had a bad meal. I recommend their crawfish hand pies and the seafood bisque. My husband loves their boudin burger. I love all of the pies they have to offer. We had the triple chocolate and vanilla pie which were their specials of the day. Plates were scraped clean! The only downside is parking can be a little tight because they stay busy but there is a parking lot next door to them that can be used if their parking lot is full.

3 /5 Scott F: Ive been to this place twice and I...just dont get it. The food all sounds good, but Ive largely been disappointed with it. On a previous visit, my boudin burger was just kinda mediocre. This visit, I ordered the meat pies. Im not sure what happened but I think they mixed them up, because I got one meat and one crawfish. I liked the meat pie, but the crawfish just had too much seafood funk taste. The fried onions were delicious, Ill say. The chocolate creme pie had a bit of a weird tangy flavor and the texture wasnt great, it was almost like it had been sitting in the fridge or freezer too long. The worst offense by far, though, is that the place is so ridiculously loud. Like I couldnt hear the people across the table from me. Some sound panels on the walls or ceiling would help. I wouldnt have come back here, but my friends really like it and wanted to go, so here I went. Like I said, I dont get it.

5 /5 Anna Allsop: I can’t believe I have lived in Baton Rouge for 5 years and this was the first time I tried Elsie’s Plate and Pie. It had always been on my radar, but I am bummed that I missed out on it all these years now that I have tried it! Everything we have tried was AMAZING. The flavors were homey and complex. I am not a green fan, but I ate all of these! Will be taking all our visiting friends and family here now. Only downside is since it is well loved, it was very loud in the restaurant.

5 /5 Cory Hatton: We dropped into Elsie’s Plate and Pie today and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Natchitoches meat pies with crispy brussel sprouts, and everything was absolutely delicious. For dessert, I had the Eye of the Tiger pie. It was rich, sweet, and the perfect finish to the meal. The food was amazing from start to finish, and the atmosphere was just as good. I’ll definitely be back soon!
