Olin Hall.

These are the top two for sure. I feel like these are the only “can’t miss” if you are there for a week.

The man that started this company is a true American success story. I worked on his new building a few years ago.
Mr. Lonnie started welding homemade rigs on his friends mud riding buggies, trucks, wheelers, etc in the 60s and 70s to jack them up out of the mud and make for better mud riding. Fast forward to present time, and Lonnie ships his parts to every country in the world, has contracts with DOD, and is probably the wealthiest man in Ouachita parish.

Another really good place to eat that I often don't even think about and just to add to that, the store next door has some damn good grub in the freezers. It is like home-made stuff. Their vegetable beef soup is off the hook but they have gumbo, red beans and rice, and beef tips. I literally bring a cooler when I come home and fill it up to bring back home.
