A trip down memory lane. Who here can name this place in Baton Rouge?

The Great Wall on College

Nope.

I heard horror stories from a friend of mine that used to work for a pest company about that place. Even above and beyond what is typically found in a restaurant.

The Great Wall was in the shopping center that was torn down when Walmart was built. I’ve lived off of College Dr for 30 years and that isn’t any building that’s been on College.

Is that the old Tony’s Tavern on old Hammond?

ETA… clearly not. I didn’t read your full post

The original Village ?

Corner of Airline and Fla Blvd, say 1974 ?

In the right ethnicity of food, but the wrong restaurant listed.

Off of Jefferson across from Bocage, French name that escapes me?

Nope.

I'll reveal the name in this post. See below.

































I was wrong about the "second" location. It was essentially the same concept but scaled-down and under a different name.

Maggio's Delicatessen and Catering, located on Old Hammond Highway in Baton Rouge. I remember eating there one time and there were gunshots popping off across the street. A buddy and I each retrieved our pistols from our vehicles because we were concerned the gun fire would spill over into the restaurant --- and we were the only ones there with our families.

The first location was called Maggio's on O'Neal Lane.

Good memories.

Is this pre-Katrina? Because I’ve been told this never happened before then.

Mark Maggio was my cousin
RIP

we probably ate there once a week

Maggio's off of Old Hammond, great food.


ETA: Looks like I was right. Didn't go there too many times, but always enjoyed it.
