Recommended Restaurants near LSU
Recently, a friend of a friend asked me for suggestions of great restaurants for a two-night stay near LSU. This list is based on the recommendations I gave to him. These are all great restaurants for anyone traveling to Baton Rouge—say for orientation or an academic conference—and are local favorites, so it’s great to get a little taste of Baton Rouge. All of these are right off the gates of LSU—literally within walking distance.
Quick lunches
- Louie’s
Louie’s has been around since basically the beginning. As LSU’s 24-hour diner, Louie’s is a great stop for anyone at anytime. The coffee is good, too. - Roul’s
It’s a hole in the wall, but it’s got the best burgers ever—guaranteed. I’ve actually used these burgers as a “bribe” to get registered in a class. But don’t tell anyone that. - Cane’s
Cane’s was started at LSU and now is a rapidly growing chain. You should try it just because Baton Rouge is the home. Make sure you eat the sauce and try their lemonade or sweet tea.
Sit-down lunches
- The Chimes
The Chimes is a local favorite for it’s great tasting Cajun cuisine. It’s an LSU classic that serves delectable seafood. - Reginelli’s
Reginelli’s is a great pizza parlor. It’s a New Orleans-based pizzeria, so it has some semblance of being local. I recommend getting the alfredo sauce-based pizzas. It’s different, but really good. - Walk-On’s
Another local restaurant, Walk-On’s caters to the sports guy in every LSU Tiger. It also serves crawfish during season, which is a must for any visitor to Cajun land.
Coffee
- Highland Coffee
Highland Coffee is a great local place that roasts their own beans. It’s located right near the gates, so it’s a convinent location. - CC’s Coffee
CC’s is a national brand with roots in Baton Rouge. The coffee is good, and as Ashton pointed out, it’s been around a long time. There is a CC’s located inside the Middleton Library on campus. - Coffee Call
While Coffee Call isn’t located on campus, it’s not too far and the beignets are worth the trip.Fancy Dinner
Tsunami’s
It’s a sushi restaurant downtown and it’s super nice. It sits atop the Shaw Fine Arts building and overlooks the river with an outdoor terrace. It’s only a few miles down the road from LSU.
Copeland’s or Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro
These aren’t as close as Tsunami’s, but they’re both very good and a bit of Louisiana flavor. See Ashton’s remark for more details.
what about coffee? there’s coffee call if you want to get some late night beignets or cc’s if you want to try coffee that’s been around for 150 years. i’ve never been to highland coffee, but i’ve heard good things about them.
can’t go wrong with copeland’s/cheesecake bistro for amazing seafood. they just remodeled their essen location. not too pricey, plus you get a Popeye’s biscuit with most meals. there’s many choices of cheesecakes at the bistro & most of them are available at copeland’s. you’d never get bored with all the different varieties that there are. and of course, if you are of age there’s many cocktails & mixed drinks to choose from at both places.
Both valid points. I’ve updated the post to reflect these suggestions.
A couple of more recommendations:
Wahada: some of the freshest fish in town and their combo meals are an insane deal
Am Mart: best sandwiches and friendliest people
Akasha Market: some of us will remember it as Corey’s, but they still serve great gyros and good burgers
George’s: great burgers and po boys
DiGiulio’s: another place for a romantic “fancy” dinner in the LSU area
Red Flower and Nine Dragon: two of the best Chinese places in Baton Rouge within walking distance of campus
Pluckers: best fried pickles in the state
Thanks for the recommendations! I actually haven’t been to all of these. Added to my list of places to visit.
