re: Prairieville rcommendations ...

I'm an old-timer- 20 years in the neighborhood. It goes without saying that Mason's is just up Old Jefferson. Call for pickup of burgers. Head over there on the weekend for brunch. Yea, you can head down Airline for all the fast food and pizza your heart desires. I prefer Papa Murphy's, Highland @ OJ. That location has stayed really solid. For Chinese takeout, try the one next to Albertsons, not the one on the corner of Highland and OJ . There's a produce stand just south of Walmart. The people there are really nice. They don't do the volume of the big places, but not bad. Just up Highland is Maxwells for meat,plus Le Creole, Ruffino's and the beignet place. The donuts at Wholly Donuts on OJ just south of Highland are really good, and they also put out a mean kolache. Those are my favs, but everything is growing and there are lots of new places to try.
