Bellue's Fine Cajun Cuisine

Wow this place is awesome! The owner was so welcoming and hospitable. He talked to us for a while and gave us a couple samples of sides. Everything was excellent! The boudin balls are the BEST I've ever had! We came because of the great reviews and they deserve all the good reviews! Come her for lunch you will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for your hospitality we will miss you when we go back to Minnesota.

You can feel this place is as much a life’s work as it is a place to get good food. Over 40 years Bellue’s has mastered the craft from making his own machinery to perfecting the recipes weighing ingredients down to the gram. A well thought out prepping & cooking process ensures each meal will taste as good as the last. The fish is flaky and tender without a fishy taste - a personal choice by Bellue to use a variety imported from Vietnam. The touches are personal. The flavors local. The results are a must visit whether you’re visiting the area or just driving through!

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful experience. The staff was very welcoming like we were their own family. Every customer received the same greeting. The food was outstanding. We had the a fried boudin link, Crawfish Etouffé Supreme w/ fish and shrimp, and Turducken. The fish was perfectly cooked. The sides we had were white beans, red beans, yams, and the cornbread dressing came with both meals. The yams and white beans especially stood out. I recommend 100% that if you live in Baton Rouge or are visiting that you try this place.

Our very memorable dine in of USA!! Mr.Bellue was so kind and the hospitality was awesome! We just felt like being with family !! Kids loved the people and place here!! It’s been almost 1.5years n still our kids talk abt him and the place!!

Food was just as I remembered it. Seasoned just right. Had the shrimp pasta with fried shrimp on top with the two sides..ill eat the Mac n cheese and the green beans with tasso and potatoes later😄. Best $14 I've spent in a minute.

Passing through Baton Rouge and looked up something for lunch and this little shop popped up with a 4.8 star review and my husband was like gotta try it out! OMGOODNESS so yummy... I played it safe with fried fish and shrimp broccoli rice casserole and Mac and cheese.... Casserole was the best fish and shrimp season and cooked perfectly, Mac and cheese really good seasoning. My son got the shrimp fettuccine and he devoured it! Definitely will be stopping by again in 3 months when we have to come back for work!

This small restaurant has amazing food. My husband found it on trip advisor & we were NOT disappointed. Our party got the crawfish etouffee, fried fish & shrimp, and the turkey sandwich, all of which were amazing! We will try to stop here again!!

From Pennsylvania traveling, food tour of the state of Louisiana and im on a 👀 see food diet. I see food i eat it. Best cajan food yet. Im staying in Baton Rouge another night just so I can eat tomorrow before moving along.

A must visit for lunch in BR. Great food, and Mr. Bellue has kept the prices reasonable for the working people that work in the area. Hear this... AMAZING food. You can't order anything that isn't fantastic. I haven't been for several years and the quality has stayed way up. Don't miss Mr. Witt and his great staff and great food. The catfish or shrimp poboys are my fave. My kids love the plate lunch with etouffee and fried shrimp

Fantastic food, friendly & fast! We had a wonderful time and also bought packed food to go as well. Absolutely delicious!

Service was southern hospitality at its finest! Food was amazing! Portions were substantial and the environment very warm, inviting and hospitable. The food was reminiscent of down south home cookin! If you find yourself in Baton Rouge, stop on in and try out the deer burger!

Homemade cooking for the Cajun pallet. Plenty of options in the fridge too if you're wanting to cook something at home. Fair prices and generous service.

Best experience I could've asked for. Such genuine staff made me feel right at home and the food was soooo yummy!

This was a little slice of Americana. One of the best crawfish etouffe's I've ever had.

Such great and friendly service from your favorite loving auntie. I saw everyone getting generous samples including us and the food is fresh and delicious totally 100% recommend I especially liked the fried boudin!

Delicious! The servings were generous and the prices were reasonable. There was a bit of a wait for the food, but that's only because they're so busy! :)

What is not to love about this place!!' Not only is the food ridiculously amazing. The service is great and then just to listen to the stories of how the owner came about to do what he's doing is awesome. Everything and I mean, everything is homemade. Today I had cutlet, greens, white beans, and I could not pass up on the smoked Boudin, which was out of this world. Great Job! This place is a must try and I hit it every single time. I'm in Baton Rouge. #lowcountrycajun

DON'T miss this place. We stopped to have lunch at Bellue's fine Cajun Cuisine. Mr. Bellue is an amazing host. He sat and talked with us, gave us a behind the scenes tour and gave us so many samples we could barely eat!!! I miss living in the south

Loisianna treasure,should be on tv. Food was amazing, authentic, so many flavors. We took a whole box back to so cal to share with family. Bellue is an amazing person and a treasure we were so grateful ti meet him and hear some great stories. Best chicken strips, pecan pie, sausages ive ever had. Family friendly atmosphere, great service and staff. We will be back again.Thank you Bellue

It was so good!!! Bellue's took Cajun food to the next level! Everybody was so nice and the food was amazing too! The shrimp etouffee was delicious and the yams were wonderful. Bellue's is a great choice for Cajun food.

I had the red beans with sausage and rice. My sides were yams, cornbread dressing, and cornbread. The corn used in the cornbread had just been freshly grounded and made into corn meal. It sent me back home to growing up with my grandmother. The staff were amazing and treated you like you were apart of the family. Such sweet wholesome people. I will be returning back!

Find this place now. When most people call a place a hidden gem, it is a place that everyone knows about. When I say Bellue's is a hidden gem, I mean it is hidden and it is a gem and then some. For the last year or so people have been telling me that I needed to go to Bellue's and get a salad. I kept blowing them off because I am hard-headed and stubborn and figured what do they know? Well, I am here to tell you, they know a lot. Bellue's is located near the Exxon Refinery and if you want to get in and out, get there right at 11. Otherwise, call in your order. This is an old-school lunch joint as well as a Cajun meat market. They offer plate lunches, homemade sausage, head cheese, and other Cajun specialties. The Bellue's salad though, it is special. Loaded with meat and all the salad accouterments (no cucumbers thank god), get yours with ranch. I am not normally a ranch fan but their ranch is unlike any I have ever had. I don't know if it has more pepper than normal or some special ingredient but it is great. Also great are their catered dishes. We use them for our work thanksgiving party and they have been top-notch. Trust me and get to Bellue's for lunch. It is my new favorite place for lunch.

Absolutely amazing. The 79 years young owner is a treasure. The food is incredible.

I was in town working, and stopped here to have lunch and had to try the Boudin. When I told the lady working the counter that I never had it before she was kind enough to let me sample it and other Cajun food. If I'm ever back in Baton Rouge, I will definitely stop there again.

My flight landed and the first thing I wanted was to find some deliciously wonderful Cajun food. I certainly found it here. The food was so good. They allowed me to try many samples to figure out what to order. The staff and owner were so kind and gave the best service. The place was homey and inviting. I'm going back next week when I'm back in town.

This place has delicious whole fried turkeys. They also have pecan smoked turkeys's for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. They also have a whole smoked hams . They have plate lunches, frozen items you can eat in or takeout. The fried turkeys are delicious. I can vouch for that. We're getting another one this year for Christmas. It's matter fact I went in and ordered it today if you've never been given Metra.

When I find a place I like I tend to stick to it and I am adding this place to the list! A co worker brought me this for lunch yesterday and I went back the next day for lunch again. Same exact meal. Fish and shrimp plate with dressing and like a Cajun Mac n cheese? Idk whatever it was it was amazing. I hate tartar sauce but they're sauce I'll drink Omg it's so good. The batter on the shrimp is nicely seasoned. The fries were still crispy. They even sell meals you can take home and heat up! I've fallen in love with this place.

Such a hidden gem in BR. We must have gone to dozens of restaurants in BR before we hit this spot. Prices are great and portions are large. But the taste is exactly what we were looking for when coming to Baton Rouge.

This guy (Wirt Bellue) has cornered the extra distance quality making his smoked meats, seafood and all things Cajun the best around in BTR. The sides are all made like a close aunt invited you to dinner and it is not uncommon to see several Exxon or close by plant workers picking up goodies. Personally, I think their cornbread dressing is the best I have ever had. I often get the smoked sliced turkey with dressing to put myself in a food coma that rewards me for being alive. Lots of good options. Wowee

Stopped in on the way to NOLA and stop in on the way home that's how good this place is. No messin around some dang good food

This is the REAL deal! You if are looking for authentic Cajon cuisine this is your place. Staff is super friendly (gave us a ton of yummy samples). The real treat was meeting (Writ) the owner (he is a national treasure) he even gave us a tour of his place to include the welding shop and smoke pit.

Can't say how these fine folk stay in business at these prices. Most plates/baskets are under $12 and many include protein and multiple sides. I took a leap of faith and tried the fried fish and shrimp basket, as previously mentioned 5 pieces of fish and 8 shrimp served over a bed of fries accompanied by two sides was less than $12...that's nuts. This was friggin delicious, perfect blend of Cajun spices in the breading and expertly prepared potatoes. Sides of green beans and red beans was on point as well. Kitchen seems to know many a customer by name. Not much room for sitting a spell, much of the business is take out. However I was able to give a nice spot out of the fray and enjoyed a quiet lunch with my thoughts and Reddit. Also make They take plastic for a small transaction fee, so no need to stop by an atm ahead of your visit

Excellent service, delicious food. They gave several samples and everything was so good!

We had shrimp étouffée, shrimp fettuccine, and a turkey poboy. The portions were generous and the food was awesome. Service was top notch too. They gave us samples to try and made us feel right at home. We will definitely be back!

Such a fun stop on our road trip! This was amazing Cajun food! And the owner was so kind! He even let us sample some! We loved the food here and were stuffed by the end! Definitely come if you're in the area!

Found this cute little gem near the ExxonMobil refinery and I just had to come here. The moment I walked in, the smell of home cooking was blowing me away, literally. I went all out and had 3 different lunch plates: 1. Tur-Du-Ken (boneless turkey, duck, and chicken) with cornbread stuffing and crawfish ettouffee with smothered corn and tasso. My personal favorite plate. 2. Stuffed Cornish Hen with cornbread dressing, green beans tasso and sweet yam. 3. Crawfish ettouffee Supreme (ettouffee over cornbread dressing with fried shrimp, Broccoli cheddar cheese, and mustard green. If you're around this area looking for plate lunches or local specialty like boudin, hog cheese, or more, this place is the way to go! The owner Wirt Bellue is inviting and awesome! He gave me a sample of a fried boudin and it was out of this world! In conclusion, you're missing out on this place! #BatonRougeLA

Holy cow was this place incredible. We're visiting New Orleans and decided to take a day trip to Baton Rouge. Yelpers did it again and did not disappoint. Not only are prices ridiculously inexpensive, but the food was all TO DIE FOR. we tried a little of everything sides wise to get the full experience and were so glad we did! The crawfish ettoufee, shrimp ettoufee, stuffed hen, and smoked deer po boy were all great. But the boudin was incredible. We're so glad that we were able to find this gem while visiting! Also, the owner was quite possibly the sweetest man alive. He gave us some praline to try and man, they were the best pralines I've ever had!

The food at Bellue's has incredible, authentic, flavor. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like family! Can't recommend this place highly enough!

Seems super friendly and a very nice Business. The corn bread mash potato stuff was really good. The baked beans tasted strange to be (maybe to much smoke flavor. I was told we were getting the etoufee had maybe four craw fish tale, and was mainly the mash corn bread, i was told by an experience Cajun expert that this was not etoufee. The fried shrimp was good. Portions were just right, wouod have been nice if the sides were more on the heavy side. I can't say I would go back, the food was good though overall

There is ALWAYS a line out the door to this place. Since I'm on keto, I go by for a very special treat. Homemade pork rinds and homemade deer sausage. Soooo good. Spicy!!! Before, I've had their habañero chicken tenders. TO DIE FOR!! Mad stars

Found this place on yelp, drove in from Texas with a friend. LOVED IT. The food was delicious, service was amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Thank y'all! Also, the owner is a literal gem that should be cherished at all costs. Made us feel so welcome!

This place is amazing. Everything I have ever eaten from there is superb. The staff are like family, super friendly. If you have never been there don't miss out on great food. Bellue makes a strawberry cake that is out of this world. Huge sheet cake for only $20. Can't beat it or make it for that. Janet Junot

Man! YOU MUST STOP HERE! This was a great place to eat!!  The food was delicious!! We shared a plate of cornbread dressing topped with crawfish étouffée and fried fish and shrimp. A side of white beans and Cajun macaroni and cheese. Then we got some deer chili which was amazing!! Half the stuff we ate we probably would not have gotten but the owner of the restaurant kept bringing us samples of all his delicious food so we had to get some!! Make sure you have a cooler because everything is available to take home, it is frozen! We will come back for sure!

Small little restaurant and store that screams southern hospitality in both the interior decor and the people that work there. Upon finding out that I was trying Bellue's for the first time, the owner(s) ended up offering me several free samples which I ended up buying after trying. I guess that's a really good strategy because I ended up buying more than I could eat in one sitting. I ordered the shrimp creole, which was loaded with bits of chicken and shrimp in like a brown gravy with bits of tomato. It was pretty good, and some solid southern cooking. It was about $10 and comes with two sides. I also got the crawfish étouffée supreme with the cornbread stuffing and fried shrimp on top. Oh man, that combination is amazing and I don't think it can be beat. This was $13, and also comes with two sides but it's definitely worth it! Highly recommend. The regular crawfish étouffée (without the stuffing and shrimp) was alright, but for $10, it's a good price. I got to try the tuna sub, so I ended up buying it too because it was also pretty good and only $8-9. A nice sweet, more mellow rendition of tuna salad that elevated the taste even further with the fresh vegetables that come fully dressed on the sandwich. Very different from most tuna I've had. It's a messy eating experience though, because they cut the bread in two, so everything falls out after a few bites. Aside from that, I also ordered a couple appetizers like the fried boudin link, fried cheddar jalapeños, and cornbread. I didn't plan on buying the boudin and cornbread either, because I don't typically like eating those but after trying their samples I was convinced. Old school southern cornbread is typically a lot dryer and harder, but Bellue's was very soft, with a more subdued taste, and had a cake-like texture. It was absolutely delicious and it's only $1. Probably would be even better with a little more sweetness and corn flavor, because both were more subtle. The fried boudin link was good ($2), and it definitely needs to be eaten hot (could also use a little more seasoning and maybe add some kick to it). You really taste the jalapeños in the fried jalapeño cheddar peppers instead of it just being a vessel to deliver cheesy goodness to your digestive system. But I am personally not a big fan of the type of cheddar that was used, so take that into consideration (plus it was only $2 for 3 pieces). For sides, I had macaroni and cheese, and a rice and broccoli casserole. The macaroni and cheese was pretty standard, and not my favorite of the things I ordered but I would definitely eat it again if it was offered (not saying it was bad, but I've had a lot of better mac and cheeses in my life). The rice and broccoli casserole was a little cheesy, and paired well when combined with the gravy from the creole shrimp and the crawfish étouffée, but by itself it was alright as well.

What a golden spot for Cajun grub!!! The ettouffe was superb. I had a deer sausage po boy that was stellar! The green beans, and the collards had a wonderful Smoked flavor! If you're visiting Baton Rouge , like we were, be sure to get ahold of the pralines made by Bellue! Perfectly sweet!

Love this hole in the wall. They have figured out the secret to fried food. Perfectly batter/coating fried to perfection. Shrimp is wonderful fresh, fish is flakly and crunchy with just the right hint of moisture. Sides are the real star here... everyone has been perfect. Even things i normallt detest (looking at you mustard greenes) are not only good but great. Sketchy nighborhood but well worth the stop. Full disclosure - I was not a fan of the turkey po boy but everything else has been spot on wonderful.

Don't be turned off by the building! The food was awesome. I had Crawfish Étouffée on cornbread dressing. Sides of potato salad and yams. Both sides were made in a different way than I'm used to since I'm not from here but they were both amazing. Don't be turned off by the building! The food was awesome.

First time visit . A little anxious about the appearance, but the food made up for that. Best food around and the people were so nice ! Even meet the owner and had a good visit ! Bought the pralines and enjoyed!

Now I understand the high reviews at Bellue's! The food is delicious, but I think the real secret is the owner. The minute you walk in the door, you're treated like family. I doubt he's ever met a stranger! He'll be offering you food to try and asking you where you're from. We got a tour of the kitchen and also got to see some of his fabulous welding creations (my children were thrilled!). If you enjoy creativity & engineering, you'll want to ask him about the special way he makes his food. He's genius! For something special, I recommend trying the Crawfish Etouffee Supreme served over cornbread dressing, topped with fried shrimp. Also, get a package of homemade peanut butter fudge on your way out - you'll be glad you did!

I can't give this place enough stars! We were here in BR to visit my daughter at LSU. Just driving around and looked on Yelp. Pretty good reviews so we gave it a try. The food was incredible. I had the crawfish bisque and my husband and daughter had the shrimp and deer sausage po boy. The owner came and sat with us a while and brought samples of his boudin, sweet potato's, dirty rice and some magical fried shrimp over corn bread dressing. Amazing. Now this is not fine dining so don't expect a full sit down restaurant. It's just an amazing southern experience.

We stopped in on a recommendation from our daughter, and we're so glad we did. The owner and locals were very friendly and ready to strike up a great conversation. The food was incredible with so many delicious options. We are not from the area, so we discussed the possibility of shipping stuff to our house. We would definitely recommend this establishment to everyone, what a wonderful surprise !!!!

This location has some nice Cajun food at a good price. I can't complain the restaurant was a good stop.

My coworkers and I got the crawfish etouffee and it was so good. I also got the corn and baked beans. I would highly recommend this to anyone in search of good local Cajun food. The etouffee was seasoned well. The combo of the etouffee with the baked beans was a nice spicy mix. Would definitely be back. Staff was friendly too.

The owner was super cool which made the experience great and he's a Biker. The Mac n cheese & baked beans was ok but everything else was really good Cornish hen, Greens, Lima beans, Supreme ettoffe and cornbread dressing.

This is a little "hole in the wall" establishment. Almost walked out until the friendly lady behind the counter greeted us. She gave us a free sample and we were sold. Portions were excellent and food was incredible. Not much seating room but great food and service. Price was very reasonable. We will be back whenever we are in town.

Food: 10/10 Hospitality: 12/10 I came in from out of town and arrived right at close. I was greeted by the friendliest of people, maybe the owners. They were awesome, let me sample a couple dishes, and made sure I was hooked up with the best of the best they got. I have a taste for good Cajun food too. Everything from the entree to the sides were outstanding, but extra love for that broccoli cheese rice. I would love to come back through Baton Rouge and bring people with me next time. They made me feel so welcome and loved, even for a food joint. Thanks for the amazing food and experience!!

Now this is the kind of Cajun I love. Incredible food and even better hospitality. We left happy and full. Can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be coming back next time I come through Baton Rouge!
