Outside of the chains, and since The Silver Moon is no longer with us, what's the best dive place for LSU student grub? Thoughts?

Best in what regard? Price? Quality? Atmosphere?

Brightside Bar and Grill might fit your definition.

For some reason, I love me some Almaza. I like it more than almost any other Mediterranean place in BR. Sometimes I like Albasha better but I'm a sucker for Almaza.

Chelseas is good - as someone mentioned.

Not sure if it would be considered a "dive" but I enjoy a good Inga's sandwich every now and then.

Chimes isn't what I would call a "dive"

Louie's would be a dive. Raoul's is a dive. Brightside Bar & Grill is a dive.

Chimes Oyster deal is the shite. I'm pretty sure around 50 cents and if you go during happy hour you get dirt cheap pitchers of PBR.

Rauls monday night deal is great too for a gut bomb burger and fries for around 5 bones.

AM mart sandwiches are HUGE and around 5 dollars as well.

This. Pluckers (though not technically a 'dive') is also up there IMHO.

I don't think you understand what a "dive" is.

Right. This is about it for the LSU area without going in too far North. Chelsea's used to win the award hands down, but it's a not a dive anymore either.

I always thought a dive was some place you could walk into wearing shorts and a t-shirt and get a seat, no reservations.
