re: Any Dinner ideas for Ruston?

I will concede that I haven’t lived in Ruston for about 15 years but as far as I am concerned, anytime my family goes to Ruston, we eat at the Dawghouse. It is not fine dining by any stretch but it is solid food with a solid atmosphere. There are a couple of standout meals there. Their burgers are great but I always went for the philly cheese steak on jalapeño cheese bread. It is not a traditional philly. It is chunk beef (probably sirloin) with tons of cheese and onions. Get it and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

There are some other solid suggestions in this thread but as a Tech grad I am telling you that the Dawghouse is where it is at.

Bristers for the scatterload

dawghouse for the quesadillas

tech shockingly had amazing food for such a small town. sans Monjunis and its horrible dollar pasta or whatever

Utility is pretty legit for what/where it is..The back courtyard area is pretty laid back and there are several places inside to eat..The newer rotolos place is there now too, but Utility really needs the local support as Ruston is growing and times are surely changing

i graduated from Tech but that was a very long time ago sounds like lots of stuff opened since the 70's. Back then the only pizza was Johnny's and only burgers was Grifs
There was a lil hole in the wall taco stand that sold tacos 10 cents a piece

It's Champs now, local burger,taco, breakfast spot. Seems to be doing well, heck I go often just for the cinnamon toast pancakes...
Food scene in Ruston has improved so much, if I didn't have kids id be a whale lol
