re: Would y'all care to provide some insight into a Saturday in Monroe, Louisiana?

Avoid Zoo
Waterfront is good and close but if you want authentic Cajun check out Fontenot’s downtown. It’s legit.

Of course you hang out at Walk-Ons and watch other football games.

If you have kids take em to surge instead of the zoo. Won’t be disappointed.

Johnnys is ok. In the 80’s and 90’s it was really good. But they’ve changed their sauce and it’s just mediocre pizza.

Besides the place downtown, there’s plenty of nice restaurants downtown that are legit (and pricey). Flying Tiger Brewery is a chill vibe and neat place to kill time.

Be sure to check out the Mohawk if cold beer, raw oysters, and the 1950’s is your vibe.

Spent the weekend up there last week. Not too bad.
