If you were to select a nice establishment to treat 3 employees and their spouses near Hammond....which would you choose and why? No budget restraints.

Your answer is Jacmel Inn. It's the standard Hammond "nice" restaurants to take clients/customers to. The food is excellent.

Tope La's food is very good. But I wouldn't call the place really nice or impressive.

One-Thirteen if your employees and their spouses are younger and just want to take Instagram pictures. The food is definitely good, but it's much more about people take pics and showing what they ordered and taking pics in the damn swing.


TLDR version:

Jacmel Inn - Old Money
One Thirteen - New Money
Tope La - Middle class, but want good food.

Pretty much this..

Steak or Cena for Best of Hammond, middle of Tangi..

Tope La seems to be hit or miss..In laws enjoy it

Jacmel, IMHO if you're on a date, not business

113 if you're planning to put your exquisitely bland and overpriced meal on Insta for the likez asap gurl

Lighthouse, see above for 113, but in a "Destin condo" kind of way

Cena is our go to in Hammond.
Great cocktails and you can never go wrong with any of their specials.

Cena is our go-to. They’re really consistent, and we’ve always left there pleased.

The Steak House because their steaks and pork chops are incredible. They use the same broiler Ruth's Cris uses so you get an excellent sear. I'd strongly recommend the pork chop, it's as good or better than anywhere I've been all over LA and TX.

the food at steak house is beyond reproach. No doubt about that. We never go there because it’s so expensive
