$15 Barcadia looks like a good deal(kind of a reach). I tend to avoid these restaurant week deals because its not really a deal for many places, especially considering I dont eat dessert.

The sushi places I would definitely pass and Carrabas at $30 is laughable. City Pork and Londoner at $25, pass. The steak places usually serve smaller portions.

Just seems like a ploy by the participants to get you out of the house and eating at their places. None seem like really great deals.

Yeah, my memory is cloudy but I seem to remember some much better deals in years past


I hadn't really got a chance to look at too many of them yet

I know you're not a fan, but the portion at Doe's last time around was legit.

What is the Camelot Club like? That seems interesting.


Overall though that list seems to have grown since last time

Yeah I dont really do dessert. Wish they would include something else instead. Maybe a cocktail or soup/salad plus app and entree.

i agree. an app or salad over a dessert would make plenty of the places more appealing.

after looking at almost all of the places, i couldnt find one that didnt have dessert as the 3rd option.

Eh, I dunno. I'd for sure try out the Chelsea's one. I love that place and normally a tab there is about 40, obviously with a beer or two. I'd go there and spend it anyways, so if they are really gonna bring it for a meal that seems nice.

Marcello's (never been) and City Pork also strike me as potential values/solid experiences.

But for the most part it's underwhelming.

It's just marketing. The list gives off the illusion of a special deal and most people who are looking to try someplace new or get out will bite.

Geez. Chelsea's one is usually a good deal, but grilled chicken breast? Vegetable pasta?

I can get what I actually want at Chelsea's and be completely full for less than $20.

City Pork doesn't seem like a bad deal.

I am disappointed Little Village isn't on there. It is usually a great deal and the food is always exceptional.

Chelsea's is cheap as hell on a normal week. I know you get the app and dessert but it isn't really much of a deal, you can go there any day of the week and get a good meal for a good price.

Cheesecake Bistro is actually a very good price. The cheesecake alone is like $7 and that comes with the $20 price which gets you the starter and main course. I could get the soup, crawfish ravioli and cheesecake and my bill would be close to $40.

It is but also....

This is a great week to experience places you've been meaning to try. Plus, you'll be supporting the local restaurant industry and the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank which will receive a donation on behalf of participating restaurants and DIG Magazine.
