    Sensational salad with grilled salmon.
    Tanya A.

    George's is a good spot! You can feel they take good care of you as a client and friend. We ordered an appetizer: boudin balls, the best ! Then, I ordered a sensational salad with grilled salmon, exquisite! My husband ordered a Philly cheesesteak poboy, it's delicious! We are always happy and well served from all staff.

    Best burger in town!
    Erin F.

    Local favorite. George's is a great spot if you are craving a burger that tastes homemade. They have great sweet potatoes fries as well. They do have healthy options as well with their grilled chicken plate. Great spot to stop before an LsU baseball game too. Plenty of TVs to watch the game as well.

    Onion rings, sweet potato fries & cheeseburger with the burger special and fries. All great!
    Scarlett E.

    Just the burger place we were looking for. Very casual & cozy spot to eat. I had the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and both were delicious. We ordered onion rings and while they came cold they were still good. My husband had the special burger of the day with fries and he loved it. Just walk up to the bar and order, then wait till they call you up to pay & get your food. Can't wait to try more & maybe a dessert. The menu looks pretty nice. You can tell this is an oldie but goodie kinda place.

    Fried Catfish with Onion Rings
    Christie D.

    5 stars for the best fried catfish in town! I'm super picky when it comes to seafood. I always remove the dark line of meat down the middle of catfish before cooking. By doing this, the fish won't taste super fishy or have that slimy gray stuff on the inside. Most restaurants do not remove this but George's does! I've had the fried catfish at George's several times now and I've never been disappointed. The fish is always cleaned well and taste so fresh! During this visit, I subbed out the fries for their onion rings. We also had the special of the day which was the red beans, rice, and sausage. Very good as well! You order at the bar here and they call your name to come back up once your food is ready. Service is always fast and the place has a nice laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    All the makings of a Great Louisiana diner! Smell of fried catfish and available hot sauces to grab.

    Great local joint, if I lived in the area, I would be a regular. The food is good and the atmosphere is a friendly and classic. Great staff and if you are craving a Philly, burger, or club; highly recommend it.

    Food was good. You order at bar and they call your name when it's ready then u go pick it up and pay. So you r your own waiter. Lol I'd of given this place a 4 except for the fact that the muffuletta wasn't pressed like it's supposed to be and it barely had and Olive salad.

It appeared the workers were really good at making boxed lunches but not so great at customer service. A young lady approached to take my order as if I was bothering her by being there. I didn't feel welcomed or even wanted. I waited around for awhile until one of the pleasant gentleman in the back said, "oh, we have your order ready! Let me get!" The young girl taking orders intervened and handed me my sandwich. She still seemed a little "vinegary." I ordered an "unwich." "Wich" I've had before & loved. Unfortunately, I received a couple pieces of lettuce with the meats. It wasn't wrapped like a sub. Just imagine a salad except large, uncut pieces of vegetables and meats piled high. I will not be back. I am just glad my $10 "sandwich" didn't cause anymore harm.

    girls, if you're getting a chicken Caesar wrap, go to the Perkins location. Please. I've had a…read moresuper good one from the one on Perkins, and I thought this would be the same. Instead, the lettuce was literally COOKED like steaming hot and there was melty mozzarella cheese inside, which is odd because Caesar salads don't typically include mozzarella - just Parmesan. The tortilla didn't taste fresh, and i think they just took the whole wrap and pressed it flat in a panini press. The heat made the lettuce completely wilted, and this was the most disappointing chicken Caesar wrap I've ever experienced. There was also not enough chicken or fillings inside like overall it was a very small wrap for the price. The quality of their shredded chicken is great, but everything else was extremely subpar. After receiving mine with the mozzarella (lactose intolerant), I even decided to bite the bullet and order a second one (so I paid for two) and this time specified no cheese at all, and extra chicken. The second one STILL had cheese, and the same amount of chicken. The sweet potato fries were fine, and the build your own sandwich my boyfriend got was good. just don't do the wrap from here yall. Go to the Perkins location.

When I first discovered it, they…read morewere located in a tiny space out in the back of a commercial building on Florida Blvd. East. Now they are in a much better, but still cozy, space on Government Street. This facility has indoor dining space, patio dining space, and plenty of parking, including a back overflow lot. Anthony's has been in business so long due to authentic Italian cuisine, including a great variety of take out deli items. If you need some real Italian grocery items for your home, there's a good chance you can get them at Anthony's. However, if you would rather let them prepare your meal for you, that's an excellent option as well. I think they have a first rate muffuletta, and it's important to have the right bread and meats for those. This is something they have covered! Their Po-Boys are also my favorites. These are pressed so they are crispy and flattened. I typically like to get these with a small salad, which is indeed an excellent choice. If you have room, there's always some great dessert choices. Another consideration is picking up something to take home for later, I think a tub of high quality imported olives are a good selection. Don't forget their cheeses as well, these can lift your home cooking to a higher level. Next time you are in the Government Street Arts and Entertainment District, drop into Anthony's for a bite, dessert, or take home items. You'll definitely thank yourself later!

Always have Italian meatballs in the freezer for quick meals, but when in the area and in the mood for Italian deli I'll be back for a lunch special. Used to go to the one way down Florida Blvd & think this area was a good move for them. Very nice family run restaurant if you haven't tried it.
