Located at 130 3rd St, Baton Rouge, LA 70801, Downtown Seafood specializes in seafood burgers and classic dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and gatherings with friends and family.
One of the standout features of Downtown Seafood is their diverse menu, which brilliantly caters to both seafood lovers and those who prefer alternative options. Their famous Catfish Plate, priced at $14.00, is served with crispy fries, fresh salad, and a side of house-made sauce—truly a gastronomic delight. The Shrimp Plate, also at $14.00, offers a succulent taste of the gulf, showcasing their commitment to quality ingredients.

As you step inside, the warmth of the staff, rumored to include the owner, shines through. Patrons have described the service as incredibly friendly, with one customer stating, "I got a hug!" It’s clear that this establishment is built on community and genuine connections.
Visitors have raved about their experiences, highlighting the delicious muffuletta and po boys, both of which reflect the rich culinary heritage of Louisiana. One delighted customer, Rick V., remarked on the tasty fried seafood and the new muffuletta poboy, indicating a consistent commitment to quality.
However, as with any establishment, there's room for improvement. Some diners have noted that while the food is excellent, the interior could use some maintenance. Nonetheless, that hasn’t deterred loyal fans, like Mario P., who declares it the best seafood in the city and considers it a weekly ritual.

“ Great place! The owner (I believe) was super nice and genuinely friendly. Even got a hug. Awesome guy. Rest of staff just as nice. Food was really good. Muffaletta, po boys, tots, and onion rings were delicious. Generous portions too. Stop by and show them some love. ”
“ great burgers, poboys and fried seafood. Tried the new muffaletta poboy. Was very good ”
“ Great price. Great food. Interior and bathroom needs some major maintenance but I would eat there again in a heartbeat! ”
“ I travel a lot because of my job. This is first time visiting Baton Rouge, and I found this place. When I enter, a cook, I believe he was an owner (?), asked me if this is first time visiting the store. He gave me some samples of shrimps and I loved it. Ordered Mixed (Fish & Shrimp) and this is really good. If I am back here in the future, I will definitely visit again! ”
“ Best seafood in the city hands down, it's a must that I go atleast once a week, they know me by name now and my order I just say "the usual", great place. ”
“ Best Burger in Baton Rouge by far. i'm not sure who else is second but this place is leading that gap by miles. Only open until 3pm and that's a bummer. Really good customer service as the owner greets all his customers. I really forgot about this place and was downtown for a basketball game and it hit me to try it out to see if they were still on point with their food. We'll they haven't missed a beat. I will be back really soon and I recommend this place if your ever downtown. ”
“ Food is excellent. Ambiance is lacking. Service is good. Here's the problem, selection. Add some beans and rice or gumbo. Fries are fine but elevate the menu. Fried shrimp is tasty and just the perfect kick in the batter. So depending on what you're looking for this place is perfect or a bit disappointing. Your call ”
“ Huge portions! Delicious! The grilled shrimp salad was good with nice big shrimp. Tasty n more sweet potato fries than I could eat! 1 serving is enough for about 4 people ”
