What happened to Pasttime?

Oh boy. Here we go.

No not really. It just sucks.

Maybe I was expecting too much

It's never been good.

Worked near there in the 90s and would often go for lunch. I loved that you wrote your own order on a pad. Almost guaranteed it wouldn’t be screwed up. Pizza and fried oysters were usual orders, and they were always pretty good.

Lives on nostalgia

That place has always sucked. Never understood why people always act like its worth going to

I agree. It’s good for bar food and sitting at the bar talking with the old timers

We used to go fairly regularly in the 80s when I was growing up. I think my dad liked it because it was one of his college hangouts back in the day and he could knock back a few beers while we were eating pizza.

I took my family there a year or two ago just because they'd never been. The pizza wasn't bad to me but not great either. All of the old LSU memorabilia was pretty cool but I'd never purposely drive over there again just to eat there.

Ive become the old man in my post in that thread

Nah but I think of that thread every time this place gets brought up

It was one of the F&DB golden threads, only made golden by the owner's responses on FB. It would have died quickly otherwise.

I checked the website and couldn't find the FAQs previously posted there. I wish we'd have included those in the thread. They'd be fun to read. Now, that they're gone, I don't know how one who has never been to the restaurant will know how it works or why you can't have extra gravy unless you order your roast beef poboy "sloppy".

The owner has always been an arse. Ever since I can remember.
