Pizza: Central, Bread and Circus

Burgers: Max's Pool Hall, Hideaway on Lee, Judice Inn

Cajun Food: Bon Temps, Poor Boy's Riverside Inn

Po Boys: Pops, Old Tyme

BBQ: Blanchards and Johnsons (Mid City BBQ is a cool restaurant with good cocktails but shitty BBQ, it's clearly their lowest priority)

Italian: Cafe Bella, iMonellis, Marcellos

Greek/Lebanese: Zorbas, Athena, Poseidons

Generally all around good food:
Pamplona (This is probably my favorite restaurant)

Vestal (Great drinks, really good food but VERY pricey)

Spoonbill is okay

Luna Bar and Grill just opened and it's a good spot

There is an authentic taco truck on University before you get to Cameron St. that's really good.

I'll edit and add if I think of anything else

ETA:

Social is good all-around food and cocktails. Haven't been in a while because if I want to spend at that price point I'll usually go somewhere else. There are some items that really hit and some that really miss.

Pete's is a cool sports bar/family spot

KOK Wings have the best wings in town IMO, but their prices have recently skyrocketed due to an apparent wing shortage (I paid $30 the other day for 10 wings, fries, a drink, and tip)

Is Social off everyone’s list? A friend from New Orleans went a couple weeks ago and thought it was great.

Social is solid groceries I'll also add ZEA to the list. Never been disappointed and often times had a to-go box due to the large portions of food.

Gonna also mention Borden's Ice Cream Shoppe for dessert. Definitely a blast from the past

Never had that but the best poboy I've ever had came from there. I think it was named after the chef...something like The Chef Chris Special?

Where are you coming from? If it’s from anywhere in Louisiana, you don’t want the po boys or the Mexican food here.

Rachel’s serves beef tongue rice and gravy every first Thursday of the month if you’re into that sort of thing.

If you’re coming out to Scott for fried seafood, go to Uncle T’s. Fezzos has some other good dishes, but for fried seafood, Uncle T’s is much better.

Best seafood is at Mazens Grill ...fresh fish...always fresh and good selection.

Thai With Love has great lunch specials...tasty food and priced right.

Chris Poboys ...Chris Special with cup of gumbo is hard to beat...

I think their seafood gumbo (Friday lunch only) is excellent.
