The Overpass Merchant

“The hostess was friendly and seated us right away. The waitress Lori had great customer service. The food was delicious! We had the cheese curd as an appetizer and it was more than enough for 3 of us. I had the shrimp tacos and they were tasty!”

“Loved this place! Dylan was our server, and he was excellent. The food and drinks were tasty. I am especially fond of the fish tacos and the broccoli/cauliflower app. Will definitely be back.”

“So very impressed by this place! I am always weary when restaurants claim to be farm to table places. All of this food was so delicious and FRESH! Even my picky eater loved it. Highly recommend the cauliflower & broccoli. When ordered to go the next day (working here from out of town) and it was STILL delicious. Drum tacos have amazing flavors. Burgers are divine. Chicken club delicious! Grouper sandwich on point! Will definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you for a surprisingly great experience.”

“Enjoyed lunch with 2 other guest. Had the chicken club sandwich with brussell sprouts. Chicken was very juicy and sprouts were delicious with a bit of char. Other guest enjoyed their shrimp salad and burger and fries. Service: Server was excellent and exceeded expectations . Overall good place for a nice meal in Baton Rouge. Parking: is under the overpass as the name states and may be a bit confusing when you pull in, is an open lot style so park as needed under the bridge pillars. Handicap spots are close to the building and they do have ramp access. Outside seating is available but we chose to eat indoors.”

“Terrible experience. My family and I (the family were visiting from out of town and planning to get on the road as soon as we ate) went here to Sunday brunch. We waited 1 hour to be seated, which we understood because Sunday brunch is a busy time- not a huge deal. We placed our order soon after being seated. We waited an hour for our food to come and also watched people who sat down and ordered after us receive their food and finish it while we continued to wait. After waiting for about an hour, we got up to ask about where our food could possibly be and were told the kitchen was backed up and there were issues in the kitchen and lots of yelling. We saw wait staff yelling at people in the kitchen. We got up to ask questions twice. After the second time, 3 of our 4 plates were brought to the table. The eggs weren’t cooked how they should’ve been- part of mine was still raw/clear. The manager came with the waiter to deliver some of this food and didn’t even offer to comp the meal or make it better in some way. We decided to tell them we were ready to leave without eating and no one apologized or tried to make anything better. We were extremely patient and understanding the whole time but it was a really frustrating experience and we walked away after two hours of waiting without having eaten. The manager just said “Thank you for not yelling at me.” I understand this was an issue with the kitchen staff and not the wait staff, but I don’t think I will ever come back.”
