Excellent Cajun Seafood and more!
by allenk_007 about Parrain's Seafood Restaurant
I have eaten here several times, both lunch and dinner and always enjoy it immensely.
There are various seating areas in this busy restaurant, including an outdoor area (weather permitting) some are quieter than others. The bar area is quite active around happy hour, also at lunch time.
The menu is wide and varied, and includes daily lunch specials which can be viewed on their website.
Come hungry, you won't leave that way! Appetizers: Blackened Alligator, Fried Alligator, Hush Puppies, Boudin Balls
House salad with the "Tabasco Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette" dressing!!!
Entrees: 1/2 Crawfish Etouffée and 1/2 Fried Tails; Shrimp, Crawfish & Crabmeat Pasta; Black & Bleu Tuna; 14-oz Bone-In Pork Chop
Note, I do not usually order a 'pork chop' in a restaurant but this one was highly recommended. I see why... it was a big, thick, juicy pork chop, perhaps the best I have ever had.
Let's hit that lunch buffet
by cynthi about Thai Pepper
I started a job in the Bon Carre Business Center so I had to start finding places off of Florida to eat, and I am now totally in love with the Thai Pepper. Not fancy at all, but the perfect place to load up on some vegi fried rice, carrots in yellow curry, fried sweet potatoes and chicken in a peanut sauce. What diet? Load up on the Buffet.
Tiger Stadium
by Jmill42
***Home of the 2003 National Champions!!!**
The playing field for LSU's football team is easily visible from the interstate and is a must see when visiting. It holds over 91,000 people and is an awesome place to see a college football game. It can get loud enough to shake the ground... literally!! A game in the 80's was dubbed the "Earthquake Game," because when LSU scored the winning touchdown in the last moments of the game, the crowd cheered so loud that it registered on the seismometer on the opposite side of campus!
