Okay. Look the building is old. And ac was struggling, it also didn't help that it's been well into the high 90s this week. Lord I was dying. HOWEVER. The food was perfect. We loved everything. It was my first time. I ordered chili cheese fries and chicken tenders. I LOVED the chili on my fries. Never had a better chili (specifically for hotdogs/fries)! And the root beer. Look I don't even love root beer. It's okay. But this home made stuff is nectar from the gods of Olympus themselves. The employees were so warm and welcoming and we can't wait to be back. read more

What a cool place! Definitely old school burger joint located in a super old building, but man oh man, those sweet ladies keep it CLEAN!! Stopped for lunch in Baton Rouge on a road trip from Okla to Orange Beach, AL, and so glad we did! Burger basket served with fries and a drink for $10.99, you can't beat that!! Of course we chose the root beer to drink, served in a frosty mug, and complimentary refills. Root beer made from scratch, every day, on premises!! It was soooo refreshing!! It is counter ordering and your number called for counter pickup. Food was served quickly, fresh and hot! Definitely a repeat when in the area. I loved the southern charm of the employees!! They were the best!! read more

I was quite skeptical about eating at this place, but I was seeing a show at the nearby Civic Center. The outside of the restaurant is very run down, and the inside is, too. However, the people who work there are genuinely nice and care, and the hamburger and fries were good. I think the reason this place has good reviews is that the food is good, even if the physical plant is not. I would visit this restaurant again. read more

Frostop - This was the special. Burger was good. - Burgers Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Frostop is a Baton Rouge Tradition! It's located on the edge of Downtown in the same building it has occupied since it opened in 1957. It's a simple structure, but is easily recognized by the big root beer mug that serves as its sign. Since we are discussing root beer, I think we should start with that. They serve what is called on the menu "Homemade Root Beer." This is certainly thick, rich, and flavorful. If one is dining in, it can be served to you in a beautifully frosted mug. It's excellent by itself, but it can also be had as a delicious root beer float. Amazing! Then there is the food. This is basic diner fare as one would have expected. There are hot dogs, hamburgers, and Po-Boys. All are good and satisfying. One of my old time favorites is the BLT! One can make these a combo with a drink and fries. There's other sides available including thinly cut onion rings and fried okra. Plates and whole-meal salads also are available. There's a surprising number of choices. All of them are freshly and quickly prepared and served quickly. Now, it's time to discuss the historic nature of the building. This establishment was opened in the 1950's and at this point looks a little worn. Some of the vinyl on the booth benches has cracked and been repaired with tape. There are some cracked and missing tiles on the counter. The building shows its age. However, it's clean and its appearance doesn't stop the lunch crowd from filling it up on a daily basis. Just wanted to warn the uninitiated that this shouldn't concern them as they step into an experience from yesteryear. read more

Bussin! Can't believe I've waited 9 years to try this place. Old style burger joint with the grime to prove its longevity. A downtown favorite for years, this place is hard to beat. Homemade root beer served in frosted mugs. Beef grilled to perfection and a service that kids at a chain restaurant just can't provide. read more

Great food and owner is part of Staff keeps it clean and safe..GREAT BURGERS HOMEMADE ..

Cheeseburger was same size I remembered but patty was not seasoned at all. Fries were hot, salty and yummy. Root Beer was in a Frosted mug like I remembered!! The ladies that we're working were smiling and friendly. They kept dining area clean. The man did much of nothing may have been Owner or Manager but either way not sociable or friendly. Restaurant inside needs updating, renovating inside as well as outside. read more

The food was incredible. We had the crab burger and While lot burger and will have them again. The root float and chocolate malt were just like my mom makes. But the wait staff made the visit. They were incredibly polite, cheerful and very helpful. Highly recommend for a low key enjoyable meal read more

The beef patty was not actually meat, it was a soy burger and had no flavor. The bun was stale and broke apart as I started to eat my burger, the fries were soggy, and it appeared that they had been thrown back into the grease and refried after sitting out. The restaurant was very old, the seats were torn in the booths, and this place is in need of some repairs. I will say that the Service was friendly and accommodating, but I would not recommend this place to anyone if you're looking for a decent burger. read more

This place is very unassuming from the outside and kind of looks closed when driving past but worth the stop for sure. For the price this place can't be beat. $12 gets you a good size single patty burger with cheese fries and a homemade root beer. The root beer is a must! It was so flavorful that it brought me back to a summer day as a boy after playing outside with all the neighborhood kids. The people working were really friendly and greeted us with a smile. Music playing gave it that ole timey feel too. I would for sure go back. read more

One of those well-known businesses in downtown Baton Rouge with their trademark "Frostop Root Beer" mug big and proud in the parking lot on the corner of Government Street and Ferdinand. Not sure if I ever came here as a kid but always known of it. Decided to pop in impromptu during my work drive and grabbed myself a shrimp Poboy and fried okra. Both were delicious, and I couldn't help but gobble it all down. The building itself appears run down, but exceptions can be made when the ambiance is nostalgic and the food is worth it. Old or antique items on display that no longer work, such as the jukebox and claw machine. Music is playing, but you can hardly hear it over the air conditioning system and conversation. I didn't sit to eat, but as far as service, no complaints. A couple people ordering at the register when I arrived, but they were quickly helped by the cashier. My order was finished in about 15 minutes, so not bad there either. Root beer and root beer floats are clearly their staple items, so I'll definitely plan to come back for those. read more

Very old. Floors are sticky. Booth chairs are torn. Black & white tiles on counter are falling off. Weren't sure when we walked in because there was only one customer but really wanted a homemade root beer float. DELICIOUS. Tasted like real root beer and they used creamy soft serve ice cream. The shrimp and catfish po-boys were so satisfying. Really hit the spot. The onion rings were thin cut and crispy, just like the good days before they became monster sized and covered in thick batter. While we were eating, the place got packed. Really shined at that point because now we know, it's a local joint, and the locals know yummy food lives there. Old but clean. Friendly people. Great music too. Ordered fried okra to go to top off. read more

I don't care what the other reviews say I will be returning. I've been wanting to visit this place since I've moved to BR and I'm glad to say I finally did. I would say I was always skeptical simply because it looks like a whole in the wall but those places are the BEST. I ordered the Whole lot burger special and a side of onion rings and my date had a chili cheese dog with fries and a strawberry shake. Our order took no longer than 10 mins and was still hot when it arrived at the table. The shake came out almost as soon as we sat down. The girl behind the counter asked for feed back and girl it was good! Not too thick the perfect consistency. The burger was perfectly seasoned and huge! I couldn't finish it all or I would have been stuffing it down. My onion rings were pretty good. There needs to be some sort of sauce but definitely not needed. I like that they were the thinner onion rings. I even had a couple shrimp in there so it was a nice surprise. I also ended up having fries because they were made by accident and she still gave them to me! They had a nice lunch rush when we were leaving and she also offered to top off our drinks before we left. I'll be back. read more

Visited here last month for the first time in ages & it's still as I remember it. No frills just good people & good, simple food without breaking the bank. I was delighted to see a Crab Burger on the menu so I tried it. It was pretty tasty. The crab patty was fried golden brown & crispy, on a bun dressed with lettuce, tomato, & mayo. The girls had cheeseburgers. And ya can't go to Frostop without getting a chilled mug of root beer. We're gomna have to add them to the rotation. read more

Great hamburger place and the very best root beer floats!!! We've been coming here for 50 years plus. They still have a jukebox with the old songs and a few new ones. They make their own root beer and still serve it up in a ice cold frosted glass mug. The root beer and floats are a must here. We always get the cheeseburger with fresh fry's and a root beer float, makes me hungry just thinking of it. read more

The food is delicious and the delivery was fast. The delivery guy was very courteous. Great experience!

Stopped for some old fashion hamburgers and fries. I thought it was good, my daughter didn't, and my wife said it was OK. The people were friendly, diner was small and old. It apparently has been there for quite a long time. Worth stopping and checking it out. You'll get a better experience and better food than just going to McDonald's. read more

Disappointing. Drove many miles out of the way for not much. Where's the foam? There wasn't any. Rootbeer tasted flat and too sweet The guy running the place was so surly it was almost scary. Don't bother.​ read more

Frostop - Cute restaurant! - Burgers Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I used to eat a lot thirty years ago when I would regularly drive round trip from Texas to Florida. I came through at lunchtime today and had to try a blast from the past. I had a shrimp po' boy special with fries and a root beer float. Added a corn dog for ol' times' sake. This is good ol' fashioned drive-in food. Along with the friendly service, Frostop delivers the goods at a reasonable price. Like the Terminator, I'll be back. read more

Spot is open during COVID and masks are to be worn. Staff also wear masks and have a "COVID-window" to separate the staff from customer. Hand sanitizer was nice to offer. Table seating is open but some tables are marked to not sit there. We only ordered Root Beer Floats to-go and were delicious. The building itself and the Frostop sign needs some maintenance but is maintained inside. Small parking lot but doesn't seem busy enough to be an issue. This spot is minutes from the Mississippi River read more

Frostop - a giant beer mug in front of a root beer store - Burgers Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Root beer floats, burgers, and fries since the 1950's. Scenes from "Everybody's All American" filmed here.

My daughter had wanted to go here for her birthday for months. I called in advance to see if they would be open on Sunday and what time. I was told yes, at 11 am. We invited her friends, we all drove a good distance to meet at 11. We see someone inside, but it's 11:20 and the doors are still locked. A member of the party called and was told "they were going to open today, but decided not to." Thanks for disappointing my kid with your unprofessional policy. read more

Classic americana in the heart of Baton Rouge. It's not the best place to eat, health-wise. Everything is pretty much fried and unhealthy - but let's be honest, that's not why you'd go to Frostop. You're going for the fun, the atmosphere and the old-fashioned charm. It's pretty grungy and run-down, but that's also part of its allure. I am a shrimp poboy fan, so that's my go-to. Fries are good, cooked up fresh. My hubs had a burger so he was pretty happy with that. It was a hot day so a cold drink and milkshake helped to cool us down. It's also a great stop after a cruise down River Road along the mighty Mississippi river! read more

I was in the mood for an old fashioned burger at work last week. I wasn't in the mood to get out in the rain, so I used the Waitr App to order and have it delivered. The cheeseburger and seasoned fries were on point and seasoned just right and still piping hot upon arrival. I was very pleased with the food. I'll definitely try them again. If you are in the mood for a great old fashioned burger, give them a try! read more

Just got turned away at Frost Restaurant. So we got nothing nice 2 say. Turned away 4 sandals. Party of 12

Such a great place, the food is SO GOOD for the price I got a poboy and onion rings and they were delicious this place is so underrated! But the best part is the BEST ROOT BEER IN THE WORLD ok y'all!!! I don't even like root beer and I liked this root beer. I don't know what the put in the root beer. Crack cocaine or what but it's amazing. Also it's decorated super cute old fashioned diner inside. Will be back! read more

Some of the best fries I've ever had. I always come here for a good ole root beer float.

The very definition of a greasy spoon. Don't come here expecting all the frills of modern haute cuisine. Instead, it's a bit grimy, the food is all fatty, and the service is almost non-existent. But there's something charming here, especially the frosty mug full of root beer. All said, it's not a place I'd frequent, but your mileage may vary. read more

Great local spot to enjoy lunch. A landmark in the community & not overpriced. Don't let the look fool you, this place is a gem.

Stood in line for 10-15 minutes. Heard it was cash only, no problem. Got to the front finally and was told "we aren't taking any more food orders, drinks only." Pathetic. If you knew you could only cook 5 hamburgers at a time, you should put the line on notice prior to wasting everyone's time. read more

They are still kicking after 50+ years of service in the Baton Rouge community! The restaurant is a little outdated, but the service was wonderful and the root beer floats and burger were delicious as always. Highly recommend! read more

Disgusting looking on the inside and out. I would be afraid of secretly eating a roach or something if I ate at this place. It was a hard pass for me and I would never attempt to try and eat there again. read more

This place is set up like an old 1950's diner. That in itself is cool. The part that is not is that I believe the place hasn't been remodeled since then. The booth's has stuffing coming out of them....every single booth!, the floor looked grimey, and everything looked old. Not retro....OLD! I ordered a regular burger and fries. The food was not quite awful but almost. 1st the burgers are on a sesame seed bun. Those are the dryest, biggest tasteless non-smashable buns ever. The burger patty tasted like those I use to get in the middle school cafeteria. I'm not sure it was all beef, tasted like those I remembered in my preteen years. The fries were of the frozen variety. The one good thing is the Frostop rootbeer floats. That was spot on....but that was it. The guy taking our order was very friendly and the food came out fast. Thus the reason for 2 stars. The place has potential but they'd have to actually invest back into themselves. read more

Doesn't feel the cleanest. I don't know if it's because it's so late but my meal was cook to order. And Delicious

This is definitely a greasy spoon diner. We stopped there when I wanted ice cream and Andrew wanted a burger and what appeared before us was the Frostop. "This looks cool" we said. After all, it does have a giant root beer right out front and looks all 1950's. And it wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. It reminded me of food at small town fairs or amusement parks. The prices were okay I suppose, a burger and fries with two malts for $10. There were pretty big chunks of malt powder in my malt which I didn't really like. So probably won't stop back again. read more

I grew up coming to Frostop!! Especially before we preformed at the opera or symphony chorus or after! The food is still as good as it was! We got the whole lotta burger special! The price has gone up but still a good deal for a burger, fries and their homemade root beer! Scott had never been here and loves a good burger! He said he would come back! The root beer is still fantastic and their fries and onion rings were hot hot hot! The burger has actual flavor!! Lots of good memories here and making more with my love! We will be back! read more

I couldn't dare eat here or even try a float after seeing the conditions of their restroom. The toilet seat was falling off and it looked like a run down truck stop but worse . Just to get to the restroom I had to step over several broken down boxes in a narrow hallway. I soon figured the broken down boxes was covering the gross floor for a reason because my shoes were sticking to the ground shortly thereafter. I felt like there needed to be a health inspection ASAP. I don't want to be California bougie, because I love support mom n' pops. I can forgive not being able to be upgraded, but cleanliness is a choice...you failed horribly in this dept. 1 star for the Jukebox bumping Mariah Carey's 1st album! read more
