Murphy's. It was long gone by the time I was at LSU, but from what I hear I should be bummed about it not existing anymore.


Yes. Yes you should.


I'll add Giovanni's to the list.

Glenn's Bombay Club? Many a good night in that cheese bowl.

Elliott's Bookstore behind the old Coffee Call in Village Square shopping center.

Good one - I could spend hours in there.

I'm surprised CCK lasted this long TBH. It was good food, but different.


Like it was an an attempt at an Asian homemade dish of the Americanized version of Asian dishes.


It wasn't bad, but it just didn't fit my expectations of the food. And it was often empty when I went in there.

Edit: And it was closed for personal not financial reasons to boot.

Fricken Chicken with the dude/owner in the drive thru with his gun/holster hanging off his waste.

Pretty sure I kept that Gatti's in business an extra year on my own.

I know some won't agree, but my friends and I used to tear up some Russell's Grille on Airline by Old Woman's. They were open 24/7 and was a good spot for some late night food. The Slam Dunk Breakfast, the Bubba Burger, and all you can eat catfish at any time were solid options at 2am.

Western-Sizzlin'. Yeah not the best steaks in the world but it's a sentimental favorite. I went there with family and friends many times.

Russell's Grill was originally a Pitt Grill then I believe Tiffin Inn Pancake House.

Lumms was in the old Shoppers Fair shopping center which is now Baton Rouge Community College.That was Rebel SC.

Twin Cedars Shopping Center had a TG&Y 5 and Dime which is now Bocage Shopping Center. Wade Lemoines Esso Station was where LaMadeline is now.

I miss New Generation, K&B Drugstores, TG&Y Family Centers ( which were larger than the five and dimes)

Joe D's egg salad sandwiches, pimento cheese and fried chicken po boys and sitting at a picnic table at Goodwood Park to eat.

The drive in theater behind the old Troop A on Airline. Name slips me.

Little Italy Restaurant on Allello Drive. Best pizza in the world and not on the menu.

The lounge at the top of the Republic Tower on Florida Street.

Miller Buick

Pack a Sack stores and the 5 for a dollar BBQ beef sandwiches.

A&P Food Stores as well as Kroger on College.

Bobby Meadors Catfish House out by Littlejohn.

Bon Marche Mini Mall

Bally Pinball machines that would tilt

Bonapartes Fried Chicken

Leo's is still around, and Zorba's opened a new place in front of what used to be called Essen Mall. (Anyone remember the movie theater there?)

Don't remember the name of the theater but the new Zorbas is great. I've been quite a few times.

Bonanza Steak House,

There was a seafood restaurant on the corner of Airline and Old Hammond by K&D Rent All. Can't remember the name.

Also a restaurant on Airline at Highland were the Shell Station is and can't remember that one either.

The old downtown airport which is now Independence Park
