Where to eat hands down in BR while visiting LSU!? Make this Baltimorean jelly!

If you're here for a home game, you absolutely won't get better food in a restaurant than you would walking around campus on game day with a sign around your neck that says, "Yankee here. Feed me."

Looking for THEE BEST places to eat while visiting my son and going to the game. I'm so excited!

Two questions:

1) Are you a mover?
2) Are you a shaker?

I'll add another vote for Roberto's. Great atmosphere and food is delicious. La Lagniappe is great food, but not as good atmosphere. Parrain's is also solid if you need to stay closer to campus. Chimes on campus is also a must.

assuming you are looking into Friday night
