Cap City Crawfish, the place is a freaking diamond in the rough. Poche's boudin, Leidenheimer bread, and the roast beef w/ dubris po'boy I had today was money. They may be one of the best in town, no joke.

It's on Government Street behind Superior Grill in the same shopping center as the Piggly Wiggly. They often have a dancing guy in a crawfish suit advertising for them by the road.

Glad to know Ethel's is still around. Mack in the day, you could get half a dozen fried drumettes, a portion of red beans n rice, and a Delaware punch for $3.65. No, it wasn't the 1960s either.

Thanks for taking the time to make a map.

I'm gonna toss in Montalbano's Seafood & Catering
and suggest the removal of Pinetta's. Pinetta's has been around for years and is well known by most in and around Baton Rouge.
