What Jenny Huynh dislikes about Dempsey's:
Food was super bland and disappointing. We ordered the shrimp platter with a side of seafood gumbo, and catfish poboy to go. The shrimp was fine but fries were soggy and had no seasoning. Hush puppies were dry and had no flavor. Gumbo was basically water with shrimp in it. Catfish poboy was not good in general. For $38, we should’ve went somewhere else. View all feedback.

Literally 10/10!!!! I was visiting Baton Rouge for the week and just happened upon this place. The customer service was amazing, I ordered PoBoys to go and was offered a drink while I waited. The hostess was very engaging, talking to me while I waited. When I come back, I will definitely return to dine in and enjoy the full experience.

We started with a bowl of seafood gumbo and loved it! I had the grilled chicken with mornay sauce and really enjoyed it. The stuffed potato was really tasty. My boyfriend ordered the fried fish and red beans. The fish was fried perfectly and I'd definitely recommend trying it! This is a great little place for a relaxed, family style southern meal. Will definitely return.
