Lakeside Daiquiri & Grill

Came to Lakeside for the Tuesday night free crawfish and didn’t complain! There is a $ 15 cover and you get free drinks and 3 lbs. of crawfish from 8 – 10 PM! Great deal and delicious crawfish.

Tied with Tony’s Seafood for the best crawfish in Baton Rouge. I do give Lakeside a slight edge however, because every time I’ve ordered crawfish they’ve been hot, fresh out of the pot. To me, this is as important as the flavor because hot crawfish are juicy crawfish, meaning more deliciousness when it comes time to suck the heads. With the addition of corn, potatoes, and an ice cold beer, you’ve got last meal level goodness because really, there’s nothing better for true Louisianans than crawfish and beer.
My only negative is its always super smoky, but what bar in Baton Rouge isn’t these days? Thankfully, there’s a patio so you can escape from the smoke if necessary and enjoy the gorgeous crawfish season weather.
Not crawfish season? Hit up $ 1 burgers on Wednesday nights — totally worth it.

Crawfish was amazing! Daquiris were pretty good as well. Bartenders were friendly and efficient. The only reason I gave ⁴⁄₅ stars is that im a non smoker. When I left, I smelled like an ashtray and my chest burned. Id still go back for the crawfish though!

THE best crawfish and daiquiris I’ve ever had. It’s tucked away and you wouldn’t really expect it to be this good — I guess that’s good because it’s kind of a hidden gem and isn’t ever as crowded as Sammy’s during crawfish season.

Between my friends and I, we demolished three buckets and two platters of crawfish. Really good Southern crawfish that you don’t get in California. By looking at the place from the outside, you would not think that they have really good crawfish, definitely a hidden gem. The local beers on tap and daquiris were really good as well. Typical bar scene with pool tables and darts. Being from California, I was not used to the indoor smoking so we ate outside on the patio. I would recommend this place for someone looking for really cheap but really good crawfish.

I love Lakeside! My favorite part is dollar burger night on wednesdays. $ 1 for a giant burger (this ain’t no mcdonalds burger) and not much more to put cheese on it and get fries — though I don’t much like cheese on my burgers to begin with. If you like pabst, they’re $ 1 pints on wednesday too, but I am not a pabst fan. Pitchers are $ 9 on wednesday, so bring a friend and you can both eat and drink a few pints for about $ 5… hard to beat. I hear monday is dollar sloppy joe night, and I definitely wanna go. My favorite beer is here too, Leinenkugel’s sunset wheat. Tastes like froot loops, but gets ya drunk. My only complaints: the music inside is just a little too loud. Not unbearable, but it could be turned down a bit. You won’t have to shout, but you will have to talk loud. You can go outside, but go early if you want a seat. That’s my other complaint… the place is getting so popular it’s tough to find a seat these days. But I still recommend it.

Best crawfish and best daiquiris in town. I decided to check this spot out after I got a coupon from
. They claimed to have the best crawfish in town, and I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t as spicy as I like to make it, but it was definitely more flavorful and more spicy than any other restaurant I’ve visited. After finishing the crawfish, we decided to try the daiquiris since they had such a good selection, and they were by far the best I’d found in Baton Rouge. Excellent!
