"Parrain’s is a Baton Rouge staple, in part due to its rustic, bustling atmosphere, and in part due to its huge, simple, and satisfying menu. The food is classic Louisiana, drawing tourists and visitors in for a taste of Cajun and Creole cuisine, (and yes, that sometimes means a tad salty or heavy). Fan favorites are the blackjack charbroiled oysters, hushpuppies, whole fried catfish, barbecue drum, and seafood pasta." - Clair Lorell
