    Half a decade ago, before the food truck rage, before specialty burger spots began popping up around Baton Rouge, the LSU region's option for a greasy burger fix came down to two places: one at Northgate and one at Southgate. For years Roul's has garnered the love of the Tigers for it's Juicy Juicy. For those of us who live on the Southside, there is only Akasha. It has been an institution for nearly a decade. Need kegs, hookah, cheap wine, and a one pound burger. Akasha has got you. I haven't stepped inside a Tigerland bar in years, but if LSU has an initiation beyond Saturday Night in Death Valley, it is soaking up blue test tube shots and beer with the nice booze mop that is an Akasha cheeseburger combo. And they have a mystery garlicy, pepper secret sauce. Their hours run late, until 4am on the weekends. Their selection of alcohol can please any crowd and their grill is always open. As are the perpetually rotating spits of gyro and chicken shawarma. Treat yo self

    chicken tenders

    Ahhh finally the time has come. I have lived in Baton Rouge for 3 years and never step foot in this hidden, sorta rough on the edges GEM. Man this place has absolutely everything you need from fake gucci belts, bongs, fried chicken, and probably about 250 different varieties of drinks. I was surprised to see Big Shots from NOLA and welches grape juice as a regular thing on the shelves. I ordered the chicken strips and fries. The chicken was made fresh to order and Kenny the cashier was hilarious. Definitely will be back time and time again.

    This is Gyro Pita from Akasha Market! So delicious!!!  You will need that in rest of your life!

    Very above average burgers and gyros. Come here a lot during the school year. Kind of a strange place around 1:00am.

    This was my first time to stop at this location as I was traveling through to Mississippi and…read moreneeded to pit stop to stock up on supplies for others. This is by far the least crowded TJ's that I've been to so that was fun, though I wasn't able to find everything that I came in to look for. I called ahead on last Tuesday to ask if they had beefless bulgogi and a designated section for their meatless frozen products. I was told that they did, but guess what, I scoured the frozen selection and did not indeed find it. There was hardly anyone working on the floor which is pretty rare. Everything was mixed up into one which made it difficult to locate anything and was a bit annoying considering I was already pressed for time and needed to get to Mississippi. The plants out front was reasonably priced and I bought a few. On the way out to checkout, I chose Manager, Trinity line, but Trinity did not speak with me at all. She didn't even acknowledge me. It was very weird and not something that I've ever experienced at any TJ's that I've been to. Usually, the cashiers are the most bubbly out of any grocery store that I've shopped at. I prefer to shop at TJ's because of their solid products and their cashiers. I think next time I stop here, I won't go through Trinity's line. It was weird since the guy before me, was greeted and got a smile from her, but I asked her how she was doing and she treated me like a tree. Anyways, I tried the TJ's exclusive licorice and it was the real deal. The mango, raspberry, and green apple mix pack was very solid and tasty. I damn near ate the whole bag last night. I got it because it has actual licorice paste in it and not just high fructose corn syrup. Another snack that I like are the sweetened orange slices by TJ's; so very delicious, but another extremely the best snack are the jerk plantain chips. I love TJ's, but I wish TJ's was located in every state, so that all people can experience the goodness of the store. This location is pretty much in a safe looking area of Baton Rouge and not too far from I-10. The parking lot is shared with other establishments. I'll definitely be back.

    I love Trader joe's! And this Trader Joe's is no different. They're well stocked, I always find…read morewhat I'm looking for, and a thousand things that I was not looking for lol. The employees are so kind and very helpful when I get lost in the aisles. All the food is fresh and yummy and I don't know what I would do without my Trader Joe's! And I'm actually okay with the '80s music on blast.
