We got there and got straight in, in the afternoon in a Wednesday. We got the crawfish pie and it was so good!! Very flavorful and crisp. We tried a burger and a veggie sandwich too. Everything was very yummy and worth going back for. The fries were a big hit! The creole flavor was our favorite. We got the idea to visit here from Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and so far we haven’t been let down!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Total fan of this Restaurant!! I tried this place for the first time last year and it was wonderful so naturally while visiting NOLA I had to return and it did not disappoint. Bloody Mary's here are nice but the pies are the clear winner here. For starters we had the Smokey 3 cheese pimento on crostini with pepper jelly and the crispy Brussel sprouts. The main course was the Louisiana Poulet and Seafood pot pies followed by The Eye of the Tiger sweet pie (Lemon ice box pie with Blueberry whipped cream). If your ever in Baton Rouge this place should be your go to. Enjoy!!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Elsie’s Plate & Pie. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and unapologetically Louisiana. I started with the Cajun crawfish queso, and it set the tone immediately. Creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned, it had just the right amount of Cajun kick without overpowering the sweet, tender crawfish. Every bite was bold and comforting — the kind of appetizer that makes you slow down just to enjoy it. For my entrée, I had the crawfish hand pies, and they were outstanding. The crust was flaky and buttery, golden on the outside and packed with flavorful crawfish filling on the inside. You can tell there’s real care in the seasoning — balanced, savory, and deeply satisfying. The roasted Brussels sprouts on the side were a perfect complement. They were cooked just right — slightly crispy on the edges, tender in the center, and seasoned in a way that made them more than just a side dish. They held their own. And then dessert… the Tiger Pie. Absolutely incredible. Rich, decadent, and layered with flavor, it was the perfect sweet finish to an already amazing meal. It’s the kind of dessert you think about long after you leave. Overall, Elsie’s delivered on every level — flavor, creativity, and true Louisiana comfort food. I’ll definitely be back. If you’re anywhere near Baton Rouge, this place is a must-visit.
