re: 1st time to Baton Rouge - must dos

Food options

Ruth’s Chris. The best of their locations, expensive

Louisiana Lagniappe for seafood. Delicious , expensive

Chow Yum Phat for Asian fusion type place, really good ramens, wings, appetizers , not expensive

Elsie’s , not expensive and very very good. Has something for everyone whether seafood , burger, homemade pot pies, and homemade dessert pies

Mike Andersons , expensive ish but some items are very good. Namely the broiled seafood platter. It’s amazing. Also very good fried shrimp and their entree called The Jason

If you want Italian, go to DiGulios and only DiGulios. Do not take any recommendations for Geno’s.

For the best chargrilled oysters, Drago’s seafood.

All of these places are easy to get to and are in areas of the city where Uber isn’t a problem.

For drinks, Beer Garden is nice but their pints can be ridiculous price. Nice establishment though.

Superior Mexican Grill - good margaritas and a good brunch. Good spot to go the morning of the game at the Highland location. Food is alright but more a pregame hang out or a Friday night drinks and music place.

Chimes on campus has a solid beer selection is a tradition type place.
