Nooley's

There's a Nooley's in Galvez on Hwy 44 near 42. Still got good po-boys & sandwiches.

I'm confused why y'all keep saying Brewbachers. Is it just one location that y'all are sad about, or is the current Brewbachers different from the old one? There's still 4 locations around BR & Gonzales. I go to the one in Gonzales pretty regularly, and it's still pretty good. I used to love the plate lunches at the one on Nicholson.

Arzi’s on Nicholson.

I lived right behind it, and ate there several times a week.

Everything was great at Ground Patti....Piccadilly at Bon Marche and Westmorland had waiters in white coats to carry your trays, and an organist on Sundays.

Romano's Pak & Save on Government was kind of similar to Tony's Seafood back in the day.

There was a Sambo's on Acadian, across from TJ Ribs which was Bombay Bicycle Club prior to that.

Sambo's changed the name to Denny's and now Mestizo's is in the location.

The original China Express on Coursey was great...When the owner sold out 10 years or so ago their food turned crappy.
