Where to eat in Baton Rouge

[anhil8tor]

Went to The Chimes... Hard to pass up the beer selection...


First pitcher was Barney (Andy Gator and Purple Haze mixed)

The rest was all by recommendation from our waitress. We had Fried Alligator, Onion Rings, Stuffed Mushrooms and Stuffed Jalapenos.. then each polished off a burger.

Got wet at the game... but good times.


I will be attending the LSU/UL football game but I will be tailgating so no need to eat somewhere before...

You should have gotten the fries with gravy on it. It's pretty clutch.

There is an older thread on this subject titled "Where to eat in Baton Rouge"... I listed the following in that thread, but there are some opinions given by others you may want to consider. My recommendations are for the decent food and atmosphere, and not very expensive spots. Louisiana Lagniappe on Perkins just off Bluebonnet (across from Perkins Rowe) is a decent Louisiana cuisine restaurant for evening dining. I hope this helps.

TJ Ribs off I-10 at Acadian (good ribs, good brisket - totally LSU atmosphere)
Izzo's burritos - I like them if you want a azz load of cheap mexican food
George's or Ivar's under I-10 are not bad po-boy/sandwich spots
Chimes at the gates of LSU - good food and tremendous beer choices
Walk-ons - I just do not like their food, but it is close to the ballgame
Past-time - near the riverboat casinos and a few miles from Alex Box - run down pizza joint - some people love their pizza - I do not
Mellow Mushroom is pretty good pizza
Parrains on Perkins (not too far from George's and Ivar's) is about as close to good Cajun seafood as is available in BR.
Superior Grill - Government Street - Pretty good fajitas... don't like a lot of other menu selections.
There are some other good eateries (Italian, etc) but they are not pre and post ballgame joints.
My recommendation would go to Chimes (food variety and beer), Parrains (seafood), George's (po-boy), Voodoo (barbeque), and Izzo's (big fat tasty made to order burrito).

Just go to Joe's Crabshack and get a bucket of crabs.


It's where I go every time I'm forced to go to BR.

During the New Orleans Open I saw David Toms recommend the pot roast at Byronz Bistro on Govt St and I was really impressed with it.

I'll counter you on the Pastime. It's a classic "'joint" as is Fleur De Lis.

Gino's and Pinetta's have been around since the mid 1960's at least. Brewbachers makes good po' boys. Couyon's is the best bbq spot in BR.

_ So you have about 3 hours to kill before game time.


Where do you eat in BR (drink also)?


TIA! _

Eat in Lafayette or drive an extra hour and eat in N.O.

You know nothing in Louisiana outside of a 10 mile radius of Lafayette is worth a crap and the only good thing bout Louisiana, other than Lafayette of course, is that it's close to Texas.

Having said that, the Pastime is a "classic pizza/beer joint" and the roast beef poor-boy is not too bad either if pizza is not your thing.

Gino's has the best lasagna in town. imo

You can get a pretty good filet at the, here we go, Texas Roadhouse and even better for some...it's called the "Dallas filet".

Some of the best food and I include all of South La, can be found right up the road from Tiger Stadium at Roberto's in St. Gabriel. Their hours don't work for just a game day trip, 5-10 on Sat, but I highly recommend the food. Don't be fooled by the outside or the inside for that matter, you are paying for the food and in that you will not be disappointed.
