I've been going to Trapps for lunch on my monthly trips over. If you want dinner, go to Cotton

Just north of town in Sterlington there is a place called The Fish House. It's not Cotton but it's better than fast food. Had pretty good burgers and even the steak I had one night was actually pretty good.

Boiled shrimp was good too.

That's where me, balls and Otis grazed at last time. They had to hit the river and run their nets after we left.

Cotton is legit

I like the Mediterianian quesadilla at Trios

Rawz is legit

The Greek place on 165 - love it

Freddie's on old sterlington - hole in the wall - get the snapper special

Genusa's is a great value for lunch - they have the best steak in town and their other dishes are good.

Geno's - the food is legit - the red sauce has a hearty kick - not all can stomach the building

Does - I like their tamales - everything is good - see Genusa's for best steak

I still like Sage at times but times but it is hit or miss - the salad bar is still decent

Waterfront is always nice - wait for a table by the water

Warehouse is always reliable -

Your post is generally speculative in a non quantifiable generic uninformed sort of way.

Waterfront Grill is on the bayou by ULM. I'd recommend a few double high balls by way of 24oz styrofoam cups before a divine ribeye or Catfish DeSiard dish.

You should also make it a point to visit Danken Trail in the curve on Hwy 80 for lunch. Get the chopped brisket sandwich with a side quart of baked beans and an extra slice of their buttered Texas toast. This will be used for a baked bean fold-over after you've drowned a few heaping ladles worth of them. A little secret is that they will sale you a small or large pan of these delicacies in a cardboard box for traveling. I'm sure you will want to take a pan home after you've seen the light.

Cotton is a must, if you have time in God's Country after the aforementioned locations.

I like nonna more than cotton but can't go wrong at either

Waterfront is ok. Pretty damn expensive for Monroe though

It's a good restaurant. Hell, I'll even say really really good. Subjectively, it probably wouldn't crack the top 20 in New Orleans. It's as good as any trying to do what it does, here, though.
