Spin off from the Hidden Gems thread, where the $12.00 Nino's lunch got me thinking. Where are some of the best lunch specials in BR?

Some hard to beat:

Diguilios: $8.95 for Spaghetti/Meatball, Lasagna, Chicken Picatta, or Chicken Cacciatore w/ a house salad

Stroubes: $10.95 daily specials w/ a salad

Superior: $8.95/$9.95 for their Brisket Tacos or Brisket Quesadillas daily. (can't remember the exact price)

What else ya got?

The burger at Ruth's Chris is a great burger and an awesome lunch deal. For $12 you get a salad, side and the burger.
It's one of if not the best burger I've ever had.

Martini told me about the Juban's pre fixe lunch menu. Pretty good deal.

Also Nino's. $12 for soup or salad.. and sandwich or pasta.
And their food isn't run of the mill. Handmade pasta, interesting combinations..

Does the chimes still have decent lunch specials? When I come into BR for work sometimes people would take me, but after I ate them I just wanted to go to sleep and I felt like I just gained 12 pounds.

Le Creole's Fried Chicken & Red Beans for $9.99 mondays is good

Dempsey's Cup & Half is a divine deal, not necessarily a special.

Excellent choices, two of my favorites

Daily special at Goodwood Grill, usually around 7.95, is a good one

Dorothy's


This still exist? I looked for it when I was on Gardere the other day and couldn't see it anywhere.

Only been once, so I may have been looking in the wrong spot.

This really is an amazing deal and gets my vote. I had the grilled redfish last week and it was great.

Chelsea's has a daily lunch special that is absolutely clutch.

South of Philly has a daily special for $5.99, which is a different 7" sandwich, fries and a drink each day. I think Monday is their double burger, I know their chicken & bacon philly and their french dip are two days, and that their shrimp po'boy is on Fridays.

Dempsey's has some legit specials.

9.99 all you can eat sushi buffet at Kaminari north of LSU.

The Thursday lineup is the absolute best IMO.

The Angel Hair Pasta with Seafood Mornay Sauce is good..

.. but the SMOTHERED CHICKEN.

I cannot explain my withdrawals for this right now.

If you like Smothered Chicken, the versions at Chicken Shack, Dorothy's, and Cafe Express are all ten times better than Dempsey's.
