Reviews for Phil's Oyster Bar & Seafood Restaurant in Baton Rouge, LA

Staff is wonderful. Wait time was 30 min. Appetizers we ate the crawfish cheescake and GP3 Fries. You have to get the crawfish... cheesecake it was so good. Dinner we ate gumbo, Crawfish Étouffée, raw oysters, chagrined oysters, and Soft shell crab BLTSandwich. Everything was good except for the sandwich personally a little to fishy tasting. But the rest was delicious. Dessertwe ate the White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Served with Amaretto Sauc , Pumpkin Pie with Ice Cream, and Brownie - White Choc.Sevred with a Scoop of Ice Cream. Everything was good. My favorite was the Pumpkin Pie with Ice Cream. But we over stayed wayafter they closed and didn't realize. And the staff was wonderful didn't rush us. Great place for family gathering. 8/10 Read more

This was a recommendation from the Visit Louisiana staff at the State Capitol. I could not have been happier. The staff changed... the channel to put on a Premier League match and everything was a bonus from there on. We did Oysters although we missed thehappy hour on Monday which I would live off of if I lived in Baton Rouge. Found the Shaquille sneaker in the bathroom which wasa bonus and I can't say enough about the service. Read more

Went here Sunday after church, so it was a short wait for a table of 5. Our waiter was attentive and had no problems from him.... The appetizers we ordered were Boudin balls and gp3 fries. The fries were better than expected, but the boudins were hit andmiss. LITERALLY. I think the boudins we got were made from two different batches. One was really good and the other wasdisgusting. One boudin was perfectly fine like the one pictured, the then next was literally green in the inside from to muchseasoning. I have a video, but I can?t upload it here. The catfish Jeannine wasn?t something to rave over, but it wasn?t theworst I?ve had. I will mention the fried oysters and fries shrimp were great. I will be trying this place again, just to checkout there bottomless mimosas and oysters. Read more

Nice place with a pleasant atmosphere. Obviously a local establishment. The oysters were good, but just a bit big. It is hard... to fry such a big oyster properly, but they did a pretty good job. We also shared a dozen raw and they were delicious. The rawoysters were on sale, so the experience was affordable as well as delightful. Read more

Their mini pecan pie will be in my dreams. My first time trying this place, and they did not disappoint. Celeste pleasantly... greeted us after we were sat, and quickly took our drink order. They have a few local beers that a tasty. The crabmeat carolinewas decadent, a great appetizer to share. Their charbroiled oysters with the garlic butter were phenomenal. The roast beef was abit dry, but it was tasty! The fried oysters were excellent. My mom was a big fan of the gravy. Read more

As I was departing from a nearby brewery, two women recommended this establishment and I am thankful for the timing. The... atmosphere was chaotic but the funny and playful staff took it in stride. They even took time to offer food and drinkrecommendations while providing their own feedback. Everything was delicious but do not let them serve you naked oysters, addbacon ;-) Read more

I'm so glad we found this place!! We were quoted a 30-35 minutes wait time and we were called in 10 within mins. We started... off with the crawfish cheesecake which was delish! The seared tuna was pretty good too. The Orleans style charbroiled oysterswere really good. We ordered the stuffed shrimp but was too full to get to it. I enjoyed the rosemary lemondrop martini. Theblackberry sage margarita was excellent. Gus' bloody mary was perfect. Last but not least, I must mention Joy's great service!!I will be back next time in town!! Read more
