This. Delicious.

Dawg House has pretty good burgers and good greasy food.

Johnny's Pizza, its ok, don't tell anyone up there its overrated, just smile and eat.

Counter Culture has pretty good hot meat melts

Dinner at Casio's Tavern (Creole/Italian) on Trenton St in West Monroe. Or cross the river and eat at Cotton (Seafood, general badass fare) or Bacco (Italian) in Monroe.

Or if you're OT poor like I am and need a few meals that won't leave you broke, as far as West Monroe goes, I'd recommend Sam's Southern Eatery if you're wanting some fried seafood. Huge portions, low price, and good. The Creamery has really good burgers and you can finish it up with some ice cream. BBQ West is the best BBQ we have and it's really good. There are tons of decent Mexican and Chinese/Sushi/Hibachi places around town. And of course, it's already been mentioned, but Johnny's is a necessity.

and get a Humphrey

Mohawk on Louisville has good seafood...genos next store has Italian....any Johnny's is good
Cotton and Sage are very good upscale places

Ray's is good, as is Magic Grill. Both taste about the same.

Waterfront grill and warehouse are good choices too.

Thanks for all the awesome replies. Seems like I will be set.

I have actually lived in Oregon, Washington, Texas, Virginia, both Carolinas, Germany and Florida (home base). In Louisiana I have not been north of Folsom or west of Laffy. If the boy goes to Tech I am sure I will explore north LA. LSU does not have his degree nor does he care for the cities.
