    My mom and I eat here all the time for lunch. I love there fried catfish and shrimp.

    This place is great. If you have a friend looking for Louisiana food on the cheap this is the place to go. They have specials everyday and they are always delicious. If you go, be sure to get a cup of gumbo, it's excellent.

    If you find yourself downtown in Baton Rouge during lunch, this is a must go! Harrington's Cafe offers a great selection of simply delicious Southern classics. Daily specials help to break the monotony that you would experience at most other quick lunch spots. Every time I have been, service has been prompt and friendly (often including handshakes and smiles). The prices at Harrington's Cafe are more than reasonable, and you will most definitely leave feeling stuffed to the brim. Preventing this place from getting 5 stars is the occasionally less-than-desired temperature of the meal being served. I am eating here about once a week, and if you are downtown often, you should be too!

    Amazing cheeseburger and I could eat my weight in Carrot Souffle! The etoufee was awesome! The service was lightening fast (especially for food this fresh! ) and with a heaping helping of friendly Southern hospitality. Yum!

    Home town cooking, in a casual setting, this place rocks my socks. Best crawfish pie's in town, the owner is the nicest man ever, & the employees are super friendly. I could eat here everyday there is so much to choose from on their menu. Its conveniently located across from my office so I get the smell of their food daily if I can't enjoy the taste of it. If you haven't been GO! oh & remember the crawfish pie is a special they only serve on Wednesday's not everyday.

    Very good sandwich and salad joint with Louisiana specialties. The shrimp tastes clean, the salads are great, and the service is fast. Very inexpensive too! Two people will find it difficult to spend more than $25 for a meal that is worth twice that.

    I wanted to eat something with a local taste for lunch, so I found Harrington's Cafe. As I approached this from my downtown hotel, they had a sign with a special; Catfish and Red Beans and Rice. I opted for this. It's an old building, and it has that old southern cafe charm. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. It was pretty simple food, and it was decent. I was also served quickly. By the time I retrieved my silverware and napkin, my food was at my table. I'd say I spent no more than 15 minutes here.

    I work downtown. If I go out to eat lunch, usually I'll binge on places like Mathern's deli, Faye's, Rolly Polly, and Jimmy John's. If I ever want to splurge or eat food that tastes meaningful, I'll definitely go here. It's a reasonable cost with absolutely delicious food. If you can go in and eat less than a single breadstick, you're a great man. If you're in the BR area, and looking for Cajun. Pick here. You won't be disappointed.

    In town for a conference and find this little gem of a restaurant on Yelp. So very glad I did! Incredible food, very sweet staff with super prompt service. One of the specials was the stuffed shrimp with creamy crab sauce and it was divine. Plenty of Yelpers mentioned the carrot souffle so that was a must-get and it was awesome. I've never had carrot souffle before so I wasn't expecting it to be sweet - the flavor reminded me bread pudding for some reason - but it went perfectly with the spiciness of the crab sauce. If the owners of Harrington's happen to see this review, I am DYING for that sauce recipe and promise to take it to my grave with me! ;) The food was very quick but it was very fresh. Perfect spot to get a quality meal at a great price, even when you're in a hurry.

    This is a quirky family style joint with a bit of a diner feel that does lunch Monday-Friday featuring Louisiana seafood options. Everything here has a home cooking feel to it and they feature local artwork on the walls. You order at the counter and then they have servers that bring your food to you while drinks are self serve. The menu is pretty substantial so it can be a bit of a challenge for a newbie to see what you want and then order it as things go at a pretty fast clip in here during the busy lunch rush. I ordered the cheeseburger, fries and gumbo but sadly I didn't notice until after that they had sides of veggies available. The burger looked great but came on a bun that didn't work for me, as I found it far too sweet for my taste, and it really took away from my burger experience (I've been very spoiled by the great burgers we have in NOLA and I've just not been a fan of very many Baton Rouge burgers). The seafood gumbo was alright and the fries were decent. I would like to return again to sample some of the many other seafood options available here. Overall I find this a really quick and easy weekday lunch option that possesses a bit of distinctive character for those occasions I find myself trapped in Downtown Baton Rouge.

    I had take out from here today and it was delicious! Cheeseburger hit the spot with the slight sweetness of the toasted bun and the crispness of the fries! This might just be my new burger place go to! However, the grilled fish is very tasty as well.

    Great place to grab really good food quick down town. Everything there tastes delicious and the prices are reasonable. I usually have lunch here with my friends from court. The staff is ok. But the food makes up for it.

    The food was great, but the atmosphere and service were lacking. When I ordered, the woman who took my order was pretty rude. The restaurant is kind of gross looking inside. Very run down. My food was great, though.

    Everything I have ever gotten here has been very good. Standouts include the crab cakes, the jambalaya, and the green beans. Seriously, what do they do with their green beans? Whatever they do, they should never tell anyone about because if I knew how to make those green beans I would have less reason to go to Harrington's. The prices are good and the service is fine. The food is always good. How can you not have a single ho-hum dish on the menu? I don't know but they've accomplished that.

    Delightful place! The Melancon was the best ever! I have never had craw fish etouffee before, and this was totally worth it! The trout below the gravy was grilled to perfection and the gravy itself was yummy! My only gripe with the dish - its screamed for some citrus to it. Just a piece of grilled lemon on the side would have been heavenly. Service is quick and friendly, very southern and homely. Teh bread stick was basically an Italian loaf of bread.. deep fried! Yes, you heard me - deep fried! lol.. it was so yum!!! I used it to soak up my etouffee :) :) - Match made in heaven! The place attracts mostly locals from the area, and keeps super busy through lunch! Order at one station, pay at another and then wait for the food to come out to you - it wasn't a bad wait at all! My co-worker had the fish and shrimp- it was super yummy too! The batter was the right consistency - so super crisp and tasty! Oh .. the Carrot souffle - I got it for lack of any other good side choices (that I liked), and boy was it good! Tasted like warmed up cake batter mixed with bread pudding... yum yum yum!! I am sure if was far from Healthy, but it was amazingly tasty!! Obviously, this sadly means I will need only a dressing less salad for dinner.. I more than had my share of calories for the day! - but absolutely worth it!

    Everything I've had from there is delicious. They have daily specials that are very reasonable. One of my favorite things is the crawfish pot pie! They also have the option of to go cups when you go to fill your drink, which I like

    We had an incredible experience here! Well we didn't even get inside because it was already closed. Here is what happened: we ran into the owner outside and he gave us recommendations for other places to eat. So we found another spot. Lo and behold he shows up with a bag full of delicious food for us to try. It was blackened fish, crawfish ettouffee, and shrimp/crab gumbo. It was SOOO delicious that the food I ordered at the "other spot" was ignored :) 5 stars for being so friendly and delicious food to boot! This experience completely made our day.

    This place was really good. I had the Gumbo and the blackened fish po boy. The flavors were outstanding.

    no one has yelped about this place?!? Criminal really... I was lucky to go there on a Crawfish Pie day during my short stay in Baton Rouge. It's hands down da pie from heaven! We had a party of 5 - each of us ordered different things. We all went ooh aah ooh aah until our plates were spotless ;) This is a great local lunch spot where you walk up to the counter, order, pay and sit down waiting for someone to bring you food. Look for their daily special (less than10$) which you get one main dish and two sides (deep-fried okraaaa...ahh...I heart you). Really wish they do delivery .... across the country

    A true gem! Harrington's is a special restaurant you can find in downtown Baton Rouge. Upon my first visit to Louisiana, my new co-workers treated me to this restaurant and I never looked back. For Cajun style favorites around lunchtime....you won't find better! In fact I eat here so often that my co-workers like to tease me about it. I recommend any of the main lunch dishes such as the Melancon (grilled catfish topped with crawfish etoufee). I have most of these dishes, and all are excellent. Another plus is that the side items are superb...the green beans, mashed potatoes and fried okra are all delicious choices. All of this goodness comes for quite a bargain as most meals are under $10. For the price...you will not find better. The owner is a very kind man from the Lafayette area who will readily check up on you when he is there. The friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere only add to the excellent meal. Do NOT miss out on trying this restaurant if your in the area. You won't regret it!

    Wonderful! Great service, flavorful, home style food. They were out of the crawfish pie and the seafood gumbo, unfortunately, so I had to "make do" with the grilled catfish and the crawfish étouffée. Fresh, flavorful, inspired, and overall just right. The carrot soufflé was very nice, though a smidgen too sweet for my taste. I wish this place were open for dinner as well. I could easily picture myself having multiple consecutive meals here and enjoying every single one.

    Not a bad place. They offer both sit down and to-go. I had a roast beef poboy, which was okay. The beef was rather tough and stringy. The peppers were good. The juices soaked through the bread and I had to eat it with a knife and fork. Overall, not bad, but not breathtaking. The staff was friendly and the speed of the food was decent. I'll be back at some point.
