mike anderson's seafood

left a bad taste. my husband and i went to mike andersons last night for dinner,we had to wait too long to get service after we were sat,after our appetizer we had to ask for our salads and they were a big dissapointment,just some ice berg thrown in a bowl with a few cherry tom and croutons. a restaurant with your rep should at least use some romaine, red cabbge and carrots,and then the vegetables that i ordered with the howard (drum) fish were worse than anything i've had, overcooked and unseasoned! to top it off the manager who was standing at the hostess stand didn.t acknowledge us in anyway when we left,no thank you, no how was everything, nothing,and we were the only ones in the area,it's not like he was busy!

so-so. not bad. the fried shrimp was tender and not overdone like so often can happen. friends with me really enjoyed their food - one got the crab au gratin which was not crabby at all, but she liked it... others seemed pleased... not so much me...

restaurant is temporarily closed for renovations after a fire in december. supposed to be open again in mar or april.

never again . . .. wow! i guess i'll start 20 years or so ago when i last ate at mike anderson's and it was wonderful. since then i have moved around the country but retired to baton rouge a few years ago and could not wait to get back to anderson's. well after three trys (the 3rd was my last) i could not get a table. now i am a patient guy but when i am told the wait wil be 30 minutes and one hour later i am still on hold (3 times remember) i am done.

the staff is horrendous, to say the least they seem to have no order as to (keep in mind this same thing happend twice before) how they are seating diners. our last trip there we actully watched as people who came in 30 minutes after us and placed their name on the "list" were called at least 15 minutes before we left after an hour and fifteen minutes.

now as we left once again without being seated the parking lot was full of people waiting to get in so i am sure they will not miss my business. but i have been in the food service business too long to not know that this restaurant can only survive so long on their past reputation. i for one would not go back there if the tab was being picked up by the house. this place is either run by people who think they are above good customer service or they are just plain idiots. with that said i guess either way they are idiots.

wow!!! amazing food. little pricey, but well worth it.

hands down best in town. my passion is cooking so my wife and i usually cook at home but everyone likes to get out whether it's a special occasion or an lsu sporting event. it's la so of course there are many restaurant options and especially seafood restaurants around town. after trying all of the others in town, my wife and i choose anderson's because they're simply the overall best. #1 they are consistent - you know what you are getting. i like that i can entertain business guests and recommend a dish and know that i will not be embarrassed. i highly recommend the broiled seafood platter #2 we like that there are other options other than seafood. although i'm a seafood lover i recommend their quail and steak. #3 it's a college town environment so you have the option of sitting in the very rustic cajun decorated bar or if you are looking for a little more personal space you can go to the dinning room - we prefer the bar. they also have that outside area that is called "something" porch. i can't remember the name but it reminds me of a south louisiana outdoor party on the bayou. the wait staff is good and we like that it's mostly made of hard working college kids that really hump it. so...great food and and all around "don't miss" if you are either visiting br or simply looking for an awesome meal. one last thing, coldest draft beer in town! that with the char-broiled oysters - watch out!

this restaurant was fantastic. the service was great everything came in a timely manner and there was an obvious attention to detail not only in the service and atmosphere but the food was terrific. we had the bacon wrapped shrimp, oysters and the broiled platter. everything was to die for. the food was fresh and flavored to perfection. i will not come to baton rouge without stopping to eat at mike andersons.

mike's....... love this place!! the staff are very friendly, not to mention mike himself being apart of the interaction. it's nice to feel comfortable and welcomed. and the food..... awesome! my fav is the chargrilled oysters! can't wait to go back....... :)

best in town. mike anderson's has consistently been the best food in baton rouge for years. great food and service.

the best. great food, great service, great atmosphere.
everything you want in a restaurant. i first eat at mike andersons15 years ago, thank you for the great food and memories. if you live or visit br one must go!

softshell guitreaux. by special request the chef prepared a non menu item for me. soft shell crab covered in the guitreaux topping. absolutely to die for! i joked with my waiter and told them they should add it to the menu and name it after me. in all every time i have taken my family there the experience has been top notch. an absolute louisiana restaurant legend.

food was great and they had some really cute female bartenders.

baton rouge best seafood. i had the seafood salad this time shrimp and chicken were falling of the plate they were piled so high and they were cooked to perfection. there was a new appetizer shrimp wrapped in bacon with cream chess and a jalapeno pepper. wow

always know you will enjoy a meal at mike anderson's - been the best seafood in town for years!

destin to baton rouge. mike anderson's is a great example of what la. food is all about. i do not belive i have ever had a dish that wasn't fantastic! the service is alway helpful, friendly, and always very professional. i would recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer, any of the platters as well as the oysters are as good as you will find anywhere!!! please don't forget the coleslaw it's out of this world i can't wait to go back!!!
