As a non-native of BR but being here for a while

There are some places I just do not get the local love for:
Fleur de Lis - it's like they just warmed up a Tony's pizza and threw it on a plate
Mike Anderson's
Pasttime
Applebee's
TJ Ribs
Can someone shed some light on the accolades these places get?

Applebees deserves the accolades in any city they are in.
Solid post.

Mo's in Westwego is legit the best pizza I've had in Louisiana

Your fat girlfriend who gives accolades to Applebee's TJ Ribs, and Mike Andersons should realize she is in the minority.

MikeAnderrsons is overrated. There are way too many options it's overwhelming. TJ Ribs is great. Name a place with better ribs in Baton Rouge.

When I worked in Avondale, we would go to Mo's about once a month. The slices were huge, but I didn't find anything outstanding about the taste of the pizza. The place is a bargain for the amount of food that you get. I once ordered the Veal Parm and it was awful. It was made with a frozen veal patty that you can get at Sams. I would go back for the pizza though.

I wasn't aware anyone actually liked Applebee's.
The two most over-rated restaurants in this entire city are Fleur de Lis and Mike Anderson's. I can get pizza that tastes just as good at other places and the place is old and disgusting inside, plus cash only? Get outta here. I know people love it precisely because it has not changed but that is not a good thing for someone who never went there as a child. Mike Anderson's is typical fried food but for twice the cost. I can not figure out how it became the go-to place in the city. When I moved here to come to LSU everyone raved and recommended it and it still seems to be one of the most recommended places to out of towners.

This and the condition of the bathrooms at FDL is beyond disgusting. The bathroom at the little restaurant on the windward side of Cozumel Island with the bucket to flush is cleaner than FDL's facilities.

Fleur De Lis was nice when Junior Guercio owned it and it was a bar room or as my father would call it a saloon and they were known for strong drinks, cold beer and pinball. Pizza was then just bar food and I sat at that bar starting around 1975 while my father and grandfather sat there in the mid to late 30's.
Since he died and his daughter took it over ( quite a few years ago-like 20) it has become Chuck E Cheese.
Mike Anderson's hasn't been "go to" since late 70's early 80's. It makes it's money on game weekends from the out of towners for the most part.
Pastime is about like Fleur De Lis. An old bar that serves food and is located not far from downtown so the drunk lawyers can have a pop between dockets. Nothing more nothing less.
TJ Ribs doesn't get the love it once did when everyone was mashing their bag over baby back ribs. Not a bad place but not as much love as you might think. It blows hot and cold even on this board.
Even mentioning Applebee's allows me to discount your thread beyond Labor Day Sale price.

Drunk frat boys trying to recapture their glory days in that sorry excuse for a restaurant.

Read the health department report on the place and you'll never go back.

Given it's location, it is perhaps the most underachieving food city in America. I know this is not a popular opinion, but I have been to 17 countries and 32 states now...I feel I have a good breadth of knowledge. I have kept and open mind, but it really is just not good.
Houston is the most underrated while we are at it. Lafayette and it's environs has great food.
