Walk-Ons

---

Honestly, it just isn't very good. I know people love hanging out there, but the food is so-so, at best. Maybe I'm biased against it since it got closed by food inspectors years ago, but I've never eaten there and walked away thinking that the food was good.

OP, here are my food recommendations:

Bistro Byronz on Government Street - not too pricey, delicious, with some regional options on the menu like the gumbo po-boy.
The Chimes on Highland Road - the classic Baton Rouge and LSU restaurant.
George's on Perkins, under the overpass (not downtown) - the quintessential bar food restaurant.
Ruth's Chris on Corporate - yes, it's a chain and a typical steak place, but this location was ranked as one of America's best restaurants last year. Pricier fare.
City Pork on Jefferson Hwy - casual North Carolina-ish bbq with lots of specialty meats.
Also, Pairran's on Perkins is really good and has more regional seafood options.
