The owners, the food, and the experience were all simply wonderful! We came with a group of around 15 and they treated our group of students and adults with grace and kindness! The food was spectacular (honestly some of the best brisket I have ever eaten)! You truly get a good portion of food for the price (many of us had leftovers that were reheated and eaten the next day)! I was truly blown away by the personable and hospitable atmosphere! If I am ever in Baton Rouge again, I definitely would go back!!

Absolutely FABULOUS! They were actually closed to do a catering event for the Super Bowl but served us anyway!! It was absolutely WONDERFUL! I had the Mud Bugs (Crawfish) and my husband had the ribs. They were fantastic also. Sorry, I forgot to take a pic of the ribs because I couldn’t wait to dig in to my Mud Bugs. Lol…

Amazing crawfish étouffée! Owner was a pleasure to talk with. The Poboys and mustard greens were outstanding as well.

Vaughn and server provided excellent customer service & great conversation. Talked about sports and even told us how to get to diffrent area attractions in the area. HUGE portions, so definitely was a great value! Food was delicious, looks like they may offer live music. We had the 3 meat combo w/fries & baked beans. Fried Shrimp Platter w/mac n cheese (not made w/elbow noodles) & fries. Seafood Combo w/fried oysters, cabbage, & dirty rice.

Food is absolutely delicious!! I called in my order, I can’t remember the lady’s name that answered the phone but she was amazing!! She explained every dish to me then saying, “I just want people to know what they are getting!” I ordered the catfish plate. She explained that she doesn’t cook the food until the person arrive because she wants it hot and fresh, she didn’t want my fish soggy! I LOVE THAT!!!! I also got the dirty rice, AMAZING! Instead of ground meat, it had pieces of brisket in it! She also said she makes the tarter sauce herself!! I’ll definitely be visiting again!! Thank you!!!

I and the hubby stopped by after a doctor’s appointment, and we had the building all to ourselves. The lady was in there by herself, so it took her 25 -30 minutes to cook 2 seafood platters, which is definitely not a long time. Everything was hot, and delicious the fish and shrimp were my favorite. The potato salad and other sides were off the chain. We’ll definitely be going back soon as I get some more coins, lol

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The owner is nice, cooks the food himself, and is not shy about getting to know his guests. I know I was the only person in the place he didn’t know. The ribs were the best I’ve had in a very long time. No BBQ sauce needed. The ribs seem to have been seasoned with a rub and the flavor was great. The catfish was no less satisfying. The mustard greens alone are worth coming back for!!! If you drive through Baton Rouge, you have to pull up, take a seat, loosen your belt, and dig in because this place is good. Don’t be in a hurry, good food should never be rushed.

My family and I ate at Pit-N-Peel on Sunday, June 11th while passing through Baton Rouge. We were blown away. Even my kids were talking about how great the food was. We had frog legs, ribs and fried catfish. We are from Mississippi which has catfish restaurants all over but Pit-N-Peel’s catfish is by far the best we’ve ever had. The flavor is remarkable! The ribs are so tender and full of flavor. The restaurant makes their own bbq sauce, which is great as well, but the ribs are so good, you just want to eat them plain. Frog legs are hard to find but no need to look any further, this place knows how to do them! The fry on them and the flavor is excellent. The portions are more than plenty and the price is very fair! Definitely put this restaurant on your list.
