I know it is going to be packed wherever we go, but does anyone have a hidden gem we should try and hit. 8/10 people

You are going to be hard pressed to find something that has any reservations left since it’s 2 days out. Maybe try French Market Bistro or Mason LaCour since most of the LSU crowd wouldn’t typically know about those places.

Hope you can find a caterer to come to your house. Talk about dropping the ball...

You may try to get reservations at Robertos River road. It out of the way enough you might have a shot.

Roberto’s is a good option. But yeah you have to get there early with that many people. If you go at 7 or after you are probably looking at an hour and a half wait (but you can wait in the bar area and socialize).

I’ll never understand why some of y’all do this to yourselves. They take reservations weeks out.

See if Eliza has an opening, but I doubt it.

Palermo's is my last minute place when I don't have a resv. I think it's one of the better Italian restaurants in BR but it's not the red sauce Italian that get the Baton Rougians excited.

As others have suggested, it's a bit late for many of the desirable restaurants in BR. Try Not Your Mama's in Livonia. Pretty large space and big menu.

Thanks for all the suggestion and concern. Went to Dragos right at 11 am with 17 guest. They set up 2 tables next to each other due to the no more than 12 to a table policy. First time eating at this location. The place is very spacious, food was good. Everyone enjoyed it. The no reservation policy is what I believe saved the day for us. Congratulation to all the new LSU graduates!!!
