I would have to say Opie's and Juban's. Had both and both were just ok.

Mike Anderson's.


Mike's is definitly one of them. I still hear people say that M.A.'s is the best seafood in town. I've been there about 10 times over the past 5-7 years, and I've never been that impressed.

I'm not sure how all you can eat low/medium grade sushi for $15 can be considered 'overrated'. you're absolutely getting exactly what you paid for.

Now, Mike Andersons, Boutin's, and the Baton Rouge version of Gallatoire's on the other hand....

Yeah, but I was surprised at how good the Mike Anderson's in Gonzales was. Shocked Really! Its better than the one on Lee Drive.

I still remember the old Mike Anderson's when it was on Highland near the South Gates of LSU! Good Times!

Yeah, how can this place be overrated? How do you get rated lower than whale shite?

The only one I can really think of is The Great Wall, people are always raving about this place, mediocre is being kind. There must be at least 20 Asian places in BR that are better.

Joes can't be overrated because it sucks. No one ever said it was even close to being good.

I didn't feel Opie's was overrated, I have enjoyed my meals there a lot. However, I think Bistro Byronz is my first choice when I'm on that side of town.

Mike Anderson's and Ruth Chris are both way over-rated, IMO. They are popular with the LSU alum crowd but I feel shorted everytime I go to these places.

I disagree with Jubans being over rated. It is solid for special occasions.
