The grilled salmon and the ribeye steak are absolutely incredible! My boyfriend and I split our plates so we could enjoy a little bit of both!

The cream of crawfish soup special is excellent!! Order an app of crab cakes to top the spinach salad (also, consider asking for the delicious dressing on the side). Red Beans and Rice YUM! too!

I'm in total agreement with some of the other four squares: the crawfish etouffe and the crawfish mac n cheese completely disappeared from our plates. Also, get the hush puppies instead of biscuits.

Fried oysters and shrimp, boudin balls, and the blueberry cobbler dessert special was out of this world. Great beer selection. Friendly staff. Had a great time.

Do yourself a favor and try the crawfish macaroni as well as the spinach artichoke dip. The fried bowtie pasta that's served with the dip is delicious! Haven't had something bad from the chimes!

Passing through Baton Rouge, this place was recommended. Great food, friendly staff...even tolerated us wearing our Alabama gear in their LSU restaurant. Highly recommend!

Loved the Bloody Mary and Shrimp Poboy. The blackened Alligator is really tasty, too!

Red Beans and rice if you want to have something Cajun and really good! Oysters on Tuesday are 1/2 off, and they are soo good!

New menu coming out very soon at The Chimes. A few items leaving, a few new items making their debut, and at least one favorite making a triumphant return. Still the best overall restaurant in town!

I've never had a single thing from Chimes that I didn't like. I highly recommend the shrimp & corn soup and caesar salad! Trivia on Monday nights starts at 10 and is a lot of fun if you actually play!

Excellent cuisine for visitors of LSU's campus to check out. If you're looking for a good meal for a place close to campus, you can't go wrong with "CHIMES" or "WALKONS."

Great place to go. Oysters are half off from 4-7. Shrimp an grits were fantastic and a huge beer menu.
Scott SaxApril 21, 2012
The Blackened Aligator and the Boudain Balls are to die for and it is a must for appitizers. Cant go wrong with over 200 beers availible for consuption.
Amanda MeehlingMarch 8, 2014
Took the advice of fellow four-squarers...get the crawfish mac & cheese appetizer and the roast beef po-boy. No regrets!
George LeeMay 31, 2015
Seriously good seafood and a large craft beer selection. Crab cakes and stuffed shrimp are really good
Maria HarrisApril 5, 2015
Caesar Salad SO good and my hubby has never enjoyed a beef poboy anywhere except Mesparos - now he has - Chimes!
John CassilloOctober 1, 2017
Fantastic local tap list and great food. A must if you're in Baton Rouge.
Jodie HebertJuly 3, 2018
Great brunch with various takes on eggs bendict, boudin omlette and cheese grits. Mmm
Brian PJuly 15, 2017
Good food in a low key environment right on the LSU campus. Étouffée was tasty, blackened alligator was too salty.

They have a great beer menu. The food is good too I guess; I go for the beer.
Max PlanckDecember 4, 2010
The fried catfish platter is a lot of food for a decent price. You get a salad, 3 breaded and fried catfish filets, fries, and 3 hush puppies. Yummy
Bobby HillJanuary 7, 2014
The New Orleans BBQ shrimp poboy is excellent! Get it grilled instead of fried.
Chris PolloneNovember 20, 2013
The New Orleans BBQ shrimp is a big portion, lots of shrimp and very tasty.

Great place for a private birthday, retirement or rehearsal dinner. The room holds up to 40 people. Take a Wine Class down there through LSU Leisure Classes.

Always a good time at The Chimes. Stick to the one on Highland for the authentic experience. My favorite thing to eat: a smorgasbord of appetizers! Read more

When you get the Chimes' Club, ask for a side of "'Gator Sauce" and funky funky for the ultimate in deliciousness!
Joshua DelaughterOctober 4, 2013
Try the Red Beans and Rice, and bread pudding at least once!
