Rachel Copping My fiance and I made a same day reservation on a Friday. This was the best dinner I have ever eaten. It was my first time there after receiving a gift card from Southeast Insulations (Thanks Blair). The service was phenomenal! The food was even more phenomenal! Cant wait to eat here again! Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Yen Nguyen I just had to share how lucky we were to discover this amazing restaurant! It’s the real old Cajun style, and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was great, too, which made the whole experience even better. I only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often and try even more dishes. If you’re ever in the area, you’ve got to check it out!

Morgan Rice All around amazing service, our server angel was super sweet and attentive. The food was delicious and hot, and she was very helpful in helping me order. As well as very patient and accepting of all questions I had to ask.

Tammy Coming back to Baton Rouge—I had to stop at The Chimes — and wow, it’s still just as amazing as I remembered. Some places change, but The Chimes feels timeless. I kicked things off with the Sautéed Crab Fingers — crab claws in white wine garlic butter with parsley. Honestly, that sauce alone is worth the trip. Then came my entrée: the Salmon Alfredo. Perfectly cooked salmon over creamy alfredo pasta, with a warm bread roll on the side. Comfort food at its finest. Walking back in after all these years felt like nothing had changed — the food, the vibe, the memories. The Chimes is still the spot that makes Baton Rouge feel like home.

Steven Díaz Zalduondo We solo by for a quick rest of our road trip and to try the pancakes. My wife got the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. They were tasty and flavorful. They tasted like a freshly made Cinnamon roll. I had the Bananas Foster French Toast. They were delisious. The service was excellent, the food came out pretty fast. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We found the pancakes and French Toast pretty pricey for it to be served without any eggs or sides.

Hussein Hussein The food was amazing. Cooked perfect and flavorful. They have a side dish of roasted cauliflower what stole the show. But what really stood out was the service.Louie the bartender was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Nicest guy! Service with him never stopped.

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!

Pantara Wilson Went a couple months ago and had the best time! Our server Aundria was amazing!! Food was delicious and the service was 10/10 as usual! I got the boiled shrimp special, the side loaded potatoes and an espresso martini.

Tammy TJ Ribs is still dishing out the heat! I ordered the barbecue shrimp and barbecue chicken, and both entrées were absolutely delicious. The shrimp came as eight jumbo Gulf shrimp sautéed in a rich lemon garlic butter sauce, served over creamy mashed potatoes with garlic bread on the side — a perfect balance of flavor and comfort. The chicken entrée was a leg quarter servedwith potato salad, baked beans, garlic, and toast. It was hearty, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Each entrée also came with the option of a garden salad, house salad, or a baked potato with butter and sour cream, which made the meal feel complete. For dessert, I tried the bread pudding. While I appreciated the effort, I didn’t care for the chocolate morsels mixed in — it wasn’t quite my style. That said, the main dishes more than made up for it, and I left satisfied and impressed.

Sandra Shields We went for lunch on Christmas Eve. The food was excellent. The filet was tender and flavorful, and the Steakhouse salad was delicious. There are NO baked potatoes available at lunchtime, which was disappointing. The potatoes au gratin was a good substitute. The carrot cake was enormous and so so good. Our table of 3 shared it. Our server, Heidi, was attentive without being intrusive and was helpful with recommendations.

Mary H Had a wonderful meal and great service tonight. Started with Range Rattlers, mains of Urban Cowboy and Filet Oscar that were both cooked perfectly medium. Eric our server was very busy but was very friendly and never kept us waiting. This was our first dining experience at Salt Grass in Baton Rouge and we were impressed with the staff. Thanks for making our anniversary celebration a success

Vicky Creasy We love fiery crab! We came today for the half off boils. They were celebrating. I definitely like the Denham location better, but the food was so good. My daughter said to make sure everyone knows how good the regular fries are!
