Pit-N-Peel BBQ and Seafood — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

Tonight, March 10, 2020 I was at my mom house on 21st Street. The owner Elvondae "Von" Ramone Raybon (married Michael Middletown Hall on February 18, 2016) had his male workers pouring the water that the crawfish is boiled in down the public drain. The Board of Health should know about this. The big black woman worker used profanities toward my mom and me. I recorded the entire situation with my phone. Von told me I bet not record him. You should find somewhere else to pour the liquid from your business. The property owner is a female named Johnnie Gice Cobbins and Robert Cobbins (deceased)

The owner is a black gay male who is rude to his customers. The food is not...

The owner does not value his customers. I went there with my daughter for all you can eat crawfish and was treated poorly. Originally we were seated at a table for 4 which was fine bc it was just the two of us... We began to eat our crawfish and about 30 mins later Two of our friends joined us, and ordered crawfish as well. once their crawfish came we realized that there wasn't enough room at the table for all of us being that we had trays, buckets, and two 4 year olds. We asked the waiter if we could move to a bigger table and he said yes, as we proceeded to move the owner stopped taking an order from a new customer and decided to yell at us and tell us how we shouldn't have moved bc now he's going to have to get that table cleaned. The waiter came back we asked him if there was a problem he said " no and what the owner did was uncalled for." We call the owner to the table to get some clarity and he's still being rude and trying to justify why he said what he said and why he was being rude and that we didn't have to eat there if we didn't like it.. Being that the two ppl who came after me never touched their food she told the owner that he can just take it off her ticket and she will go else where. he told her that she was going to pay for the food regardless if she touched it or not and called the police on her.. The officer told us that he could not make her pay for the food that she did not eat, but being that it was ordered the owner could file theft charges if he wanted to. The owner pointed is finger in our face and said " I don't want people like you coming here" I have no idea what that meant bc we were never rude to him, but he was rude the whole time. All we wanted to do was support his business. The picture below is the...

Believe me, you WILL love this place!!!

Hone your ping pong skills. Pack up a cooler. Bring a hearty appetite.

Not only does Von know his way around the kitchen, but beat him to 21 at his ping pong table, and you’ll eat for FREE!

Great food in a laid back friendly atmosphere right across from Baton Rouge’s oldest residential subdivision (ca. 1920). Von has opted against a liquor license for the time being, so guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol should they chose.

We came in to try the crawfish and were very, very pleased. Select bugs, very well seasoned. They’re served with corn, potatoes and sweet bell peppers. As good or better than any crawfish we’ve had anywhere. Von advised that he just picked them up from Church Point and assured us that they were sleeping in the swamp only 24 hours ago.

Intrigued with his menu, we asked to try his bbq ribs. WOW, they did not disappoint. Fall apart tender and full of smoked flavor. We got ours with some fine mustard greens and Mac n cheese. I’d put Von’s Mac n cheese against anyone’s anywhere!

We flattered him so much on his ribs, he thought we deserved a chance to try his frog legs and catfish. Can’t figure out why he thought we were so deserving, but, man, oh man, them frog legs were extraordinarily good. Fresh out the fryer … really wonderful!!

Despite the fact we were absolutely stuffed, incredibly fat & sassy from a wonderful meal, we managed to split an order of his peach cobbler. Having gotten 5 gallons of direct from Three Roll Distillery, Von incorporated that into the cobbler. What an array of rich and satisfying flavors!!!

It was a happy circumstance that got us to Pit N Peel. It’s newly established loyalty that will bring us back. We’re now BIG fans!...
