Pastime Restaurant & Lounge

BATON ROUGE. This oft-frequented place, with its pub-like interior, boasts a wealth of LSU sports memorabilia. It also dishes up just the sort of hearty food you'd expect, from great hot dogs and burgers to well-filled po'boys (seafood, meatballs, roast beef) and savory pizzas. Throughout the week, you'll also find a handful of daily specials, including pork chops, pasta, and red beans and rice. And just so there's no confusion: Customers place their own orders at the counter and pick them up when everything's ready.
