It isn't uncommon to hear Baton Rougeans say "I'm goin' to the boat!"
"The boat" usually refers to Casino Rouge, the northernmost of the two riverboat casinos anchored along the Mississippi River bank. But they don't always go there to gamble their hard-earned dollars away, but to enjoy the biggest buffet in all the city.
The International Marketplace buffet is a definite "must-eat" in Baton Rouge. For the quality and quantity, it is reasonably priced (a little over US$10 per person for lunch, more for dinner). Of course there is usually Louisiana's trademark Cajun food and seafood and the normal Southern U.S. favorites, but also Chinese cuisine.
All you can eat, with an excellent view of the activity on the Mississippi River, the riverboat casino, and downtown Baton Rouge.
The baked drum and pecan pie are excellent!!!!

Burrito by cynthi
The Burrito in a Bowl (because I'm a girl! - the Illegal Burrito's target audience, I am convinced, for the Burrito in a Bowl is the ladies, because honestly, their burritos are just to big to handle).
Another thing I love about the Illegal Burrito - all their prices include tax. It's like a little slice of Germany with a South of the Border twist! Leave a Comment

Close to the LSU campus, highland coffees is a good place to study, relax, or play a game of chess. And also, almost always there is some sort of art on display... my friend Lisa had a photo exhibit there not too long ago.
Unfortuantely, you can't get beignets here, but you can get some delicious cakes and great hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: On the corner of Highland, across from the Chimes.

 Oysters on the Half Shell! by cynthi
The Chimes is located at the North Gates of LSU, has good (and cheap) food, and over 30 beers on tap and many many more in bottles, for a total of over 120 different options. Perfect for a college student. And if you live in Baton Rouge, you know about the beers around the world challenge. Drink 60 beers in 6 months (20 must be from different countries), and you get your name on the wall...I made it around the world, and you can find my name on the wall as of June 2003! It was the most expensive free t-shirt that I own!
Update: Along with the original Chimes, there is now "The Chimes East", which has the exact same menu as the original and is located on Coursey Blvd.
Gosh, it's really a toss-up between their crawfish etouffee (7.95) and their crawfish fettuccini (9.95). My friend Matt really likes the red beans and rice (because it comes with the salad and is only 5.95). On Tuesdays, you can get raw oysters on the half shell for 25 cents apiece! Then again, the seafood gumbo is great and they have a pretty mean seafood platter. So much good food to choose from!

The seafood platter is enough food to kill a horse... or fill me up! It has shrimp, oysters, stuffed shrimp, stuffed crab, catfish fillets, crawfish tails, crab fingers, french fries, onion rings, hushpuppies, and coleslaw. And, yes, I saved room for dessert. The lemon pie gave me the additional 1,000 calories that I was looking for! Glutton that I am!

It will be on your left after 3-4 miles.Website: http://www.mikeandersons.com/

This place is so awesome! I used to rate this my favorite Baton Rouge restaurant, but the more places I eat, the more I realize that this is my NUMBER 1 restaurant overall. Don't get me wrong, I have had better meals for sure. But the "coolness, combined with the great food makes this numero uno. It is at the north edge of LSU's campus and is frequented by the students. It is famous for having every possible beer known to mankind. They have a little promotion, known as "Around the World." Simply drink 70 beers from 40 countries within 6 months and you are rewarded with a t-shirt and your name engraved on one of the many plaques hanging on the walls. There are people who have over 40 shirts! This place just has a great atmosphere. It can get busy around 7 O'clock and on game days. My advice is to go to the bar, order some beers, and get a dozen oysters.
**After 5 O'clock you have to be 21 to enter, except with parents. Also, there is NO non-smoking section, so bring your gas masks!**
The seafood pasta is out of this world! It is a large plate of shrimp and crawfish with an awesome sauce over some pasta. It comes with bread and a salad. Plenty for even the biggest eater and enough for two most of the time. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 3357 Highland RoadPhone: (225) 383-1754Directions: If you are on LSU's campus, just make your way to Highland Rd and go toward I-10. Or if you are on I-10, then take the Highland Rd exit and go toward LSU. Can't miss it!

I went to Drusilla's for prom *sigh* with 27 other people... we got our own private room. Maybe one day I will scan in a picture from that event On the other hand, you can go in wearing jeans and you are ok. The food is great and once again, reasonably priced (I'm a college student, ok?)
Seafood, of any kind, except I'm not wild on eggplant, but Mom LOVE's the Seafood Eggplant Casserole Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: 3482 Drusilla Lane. You can get off on the Drusilla lane exit if you are headed west bound on I-12, but not east (don't ask, it is just a typical Louisiana road system thing).Other Contact: 225.923.0896

Famous around Baton Rouge, Rasin' Cane's is a local fast food joint pioneered by some (at the time) LSU students. The perfect for after you go out... but if you eat here, you will have consumed enough fat grams to last through the winter! Really, I can't eat there anymore... I overdid it when I was a freshman in college.
Chicken... Fried. It's all they have. ask for, the box... replace the coleslaw for some extra texas toast, or some canes sauce (everyone loves the sauce) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: There are 8 (I think) locations in Baton Rouge, but if you go, go to the original... on Highland Road, next to Serrano's and the Chimes!

It's a national chain, but I just love the dessert fondue
Aside from dessert, this particular melting pot has an excellent cheese fondue... but it's not on the menu so make sure to ask for the shrimp etouffee cheese fondue and savor every bite!
