BATON ROUGE. Long-lived and much-loved, this place is a great gathering place for college folks and those just out of that scene. The Caterie always offers a good supply of fun, and its casual ambience means that anyone can stop by and feel comfortable. Although it's more familiar as a bar, the place offers tasty pub fare, including sandwiches, burgers, and classic po'boys. Local bands play throughout the week, and you can also shoot pool, try your hand at foosball, or just sit and enjoy well-priced beer and free conversation.

BATON ROUGE. Dim, casual, and laid-back, George's feels like the neighborhood joint it is. There's no stand-out decor or gimmicks, just satisfying bar food that goes more for taste and substance than health. As a result, you'll find bacon cheeseburgers, steaks, a catfish plate, oyster po'boys, chicken and okra gumbo, and a chicken-fried steak sandwich. Pecan pie's for dessert, and a full bar will set you up with a cold beer to wash it all down. This is the original location and there are 3 others around town. Their motto? "You'll Fit Right In !"

DOWNTOWN. With a reputation built on great burgers, Riverside Patty is a lunchtime classic. Many folks feel so favorably about it that it can be hard to get a place inside. Of course, call-ahead take-out is available too. Hefty burgers are perfectly cooked and juicy, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and the like. They also come accompanied with terrific seasoned fries. Other options, if you're not in the mood for red meat, include chicken strips, po'boys, and seafood. Another location is on Cloverland Ave in Siegen.

BATON ROUGE. Something of a cross between a bar-and-grill and a sports bar, this popular restaurant is convenient to LSU and promotes its school spirit with a wealth of university athletic memorabilia. It also offers plenty of satisfying fare, including TJ's signature babyback ribs, other barbecue dishes, and pub food. You'll also find a buffalo chicken salad and a brisket salad if you want something savory without all the added calories. Especially fun (and crowded!) on game days.
