Tommy's Fish House

Oops I accidentally left a bad review for the wrong restaurant!! Never eaten here before. Sorry!

4 1/2 stars. I found Tommy's Fish House after playing a round of golf up the street. I called to see if they were open still BC they close early on Sunday and Christian said to come in but he only had crawfish left.

We started off with a dozen of oysters on the half shell for only $6.00 and ordered 5lbs of crawfish for $19.97. The quality of oysters and crawfish were outstanding and the craw-fish was the freshest and some of the best tasting I've ever eaten! Christan who's the owners son was hospitable and so friendly. I chatted with him about their seafood distribution business and restaurants which I found out are family run.

This establishment is not only a restaurant but they offer fresh seafood for purchase and was completely sold out being it was the end of the weekend. The place seemed like a locals favorite BC many of the patrons were coming in just to pick up the boiled craw-fish to go and is made with their own special recipe.

If you're in the Baton Rouge area don't miss this gem of a place or check out their finer dinning location in New Orleans called Redemption. The building just turned 100 years old and was a church at one time and is their second restaurant location.

This seafood is exactly what I needed! I've wanted a good, old-fashioned fish and shrimp platter for a while.

First, the decor was very authentic, as if you were on a fishing dock in New Orleans or Pensacola. The smell was exactly what I'd been missing when I'd dined at other seafood restaurants - a mixture of salt water, fresh seafood, and hot grease frying Gulf coast seafood. This can probably be partly attributed to the seafood market connected to the restaurant.

My order came out swiftly and was piping hot! The salad vegetables were crisp, and the perfect appetizer to enjoy before diving into the seafood platter. The fries were buttery and crispy and the fish and shrimp were fried to perfection - not too soft or too hard. The fish just flaked off and melted into my mouth and the shrimp had a sweet and briny flavor.

I enjoyed watching Sports Center as I dined, and the waiter was attentive. I ordered a slice of house-made cheesecake with raspberry sauce to-go. I can't wait to sink my teeth into the creamy, sweet treat!

The cocktail was delicious, but the only reason I didn't give the restaurant 5 stars is because I think more flavor could be imparted into the hush puppies (corn kernels, bell pepper, and onion) and tartar (thin out a little and add more sweet relish and onion) and remoulade sauces (more spice, horseradish, etc.).

Everyone should visit Tommy's Fish House to experience a beautifully cooked, old-fashioned , Louisiana seafood platter! Sometimes you just want it how you remember it...GOOD!!

The food here is delicious! Great shrimp poboys and alligator balls. The Boiled seafood is also good. It's a nice place in our community. The decor is really cool and the service is good! They always have a crowd. If you're in the area, stop by for good food and a fun time or place an order for take out.

Local hole in the wall style seafood joint which also includes a seafood market, behind the restaurant. Seating is available both inside and out but parking is limited.

The chargrilled oyster appetizer was rather tasty, but lacked the usual lemons, oyster forks and French bread that most restaurants will include. It's a shame that the leftover butter and garlic had to be thrown away with no bread to dip in there.

I ordered the crab cake sandwich on sour dough. I enjoyed the sandwich and thought it was flavored well. It was rather filling, especially with the bread and I left full. I didn't find a need for one, but someone else may not be pleased with the fact that a side was not provided with the sandwich.

Service was okay, the waiter was a young guy who tried his best, but forgot several things and disappeared for periods at a time. But hey, who can be mad at a polite young kid for having a job?

Super casual place to grab a quick bite to eat. We got there for about 5 and there were maybe three tables occupied. I ordered the grilled shrimp po-boy while the hubs ordered the combo plate. He had shrimp, alligator, and catfish on top a bed of fries. There were SO many shrimp on my sub! It was really yummy! Husband lived the gator, said it was cooked perfectly. Missing star is for our waitress. She was hanging out way too much with some young patron, possibly a boyfriend. Several times we had to wait on her to come to the table.

Tommy's was good for a few months when it first opened, then it nose dived. Bad service, mediocre food. We stayed away for a couple years. Recently, there's new management team and staff in place, and they've remodeled. The food and service are MUCH better. It's worth going if you've never been, and worth going back if you were one of the disillusioned former patrons.

Heard mixed reviews but wanted to try lunch for myself. Kind of dated dusty atmosphere.
Ordered calamari for appetizer. All rings and all same size like prepackaged frozen, and tasted like it, chewy and bland. Normally fresh calamari comes with the separated tentacles and the rings are not all the exact same size. Ordered hamburger and fries. Fries were so so and hamburger to bun ratio was disproportionate. Hamburger tasted good but was smothered by the bun.
The wait staff appeared to have lots of free time to goof and guffaw while there were areas that could use some extra attention. Just because the decor is like an old garage doesn't mean the dirt and cob webs should be a part of it. When dust and cobwebs hang from ceilings it's a simple assumption that it's in the food.

Being from San Diego, CA. This was our first time here in louisana and this was our first stop ... found this place by using yelp. And I must say we weren't disappointed at all! The red beans and rice was by far the best! We even tried some frog legs - not something we normally eat but it wasn't bad at all. Always fun to try new things when visiting new places. I wish I lived near by because I would totally take advantage of buying the fresh seafood in the raw bar! Tha KS for the great food and experience.

I had eaten here in the past and remember a good experience with great food. Ah memories. I'm being generous with 3 stars now as the seafood just isn't up to par. I ordered a shrimp platter which had about 7 shrimp, 2 hush puppies and a small serving of fries. Now these servings are smaller than most restaurants but I could deal with that if they're good. Tommy's needs to discover seasoning and how to make batter stick to shrimp (ice water) before serving these shrimp to the public. Hush puppies were bland as well but the fries were ok. Not worth 12.98 though.
