The food was delicious the Catfish was lightly breaded as was the shrimp and the onion rings all are super delicious the fries need more seasoning but overall everyone in our large group of 10 was happy with the food. And the girl at the front did a great job taking our large and diverse order!! And the atmosphere is great as its cement floors and rustic looking tables ! It's an efficient rustic looking place to eat. And they have a full bar! read more

If you want a classic bar food meal, George's is the place to go! My family and I have been going for years. The parking is sometimes packed, but you can always park at the adjacent businesses around the corner (I think all of them are closed currently.) It is a bit chaotic inside, but just part of the George's experience! Order at the counter first - I recommend going and grabbing a ticket from the stack they keep at the front and just writing your own order. Saves time from the line as it can sometimes get long. You can't go wrong with your order. On Fridays, get the thin-cut catfish. The classic hamburger and onion rings are delicious. I usually go for the chicken finger plate with fries to keep it simple! Once you sit, they call out names on the orders for when you go back up to pay & pick it up. Sometimes the seating is limited, but you can always find rogue chairs and pull tables together. Go back up to the bar for refills, the girls that work up there are AWESOME and have it running very efficiently back there. Like I said, George's is a true bar food experience. There's always a sports game on, and there's an arcade for the kids to play in (with some tables in it too)! Some of my favorite memories as a kid is playing in the arcade while waiting for our food to come out. I love George's and you can catch me there at least once every month! read more

I Love this place! We Have been eating here since I was a child. They have the same great food and service

Where the company I was with was great I can't say so much for the rest. The drinks were good. The muffaletta was hands down the absolute WORST I've ever had! I don't know if they make their own olive mix for it but umm NO, just NO. Start over! The meat was hard as a rock. I had a few bites and trashed the rest of it. To top things off the waitress that stayed behind the bar started yelling and screaming and even lashed out on the customers. Ok so we didn't need to know you're going through a divorce or that your own mother that was there was pissing you off. You lady was rude and we won't be back. read more

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. read more

Food was great as well as the service! Always friendly with a kid friendly atmosphere.

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. read more

George's Southside - Best burger in town! - Sandwiches Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This restaurant has fast service, nice people and is decently affordable. The muffuletta is GIGANTIC, so unless you are starving beyond belief I would get the half. The muffuletta had good flavor but was nothing too impressive. The gumbo was underwhelming and lacking in flavor. read more

Got to eat here every time I'm in town Food is great and especially the shrimp po boy read more

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! read more

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. read more

Awesome burgers. Always cooked perfectly! Mayo and mustard tastes incredible! Tastes the same as the original George's under I-10 overpass 35 years ago when Rodney was still alive. Everything is great, and a great selection of beer and food. Very fast and friendly service ! Bar and tables, very clean. read more

I was visiting Baton Rouge this week and went by here for lunch with colleagues from work. The food was excellent. The service was horrible. The owner or manager running the counter and taking orders was extremely rude. He made us write down our own orders on an order slip, was very harsh and abrasive. I felt like I was in NYC or Philly with how he was speaking to us. Maybe that's where he is from. Once again, food was great, service is bad. read more

Food was good (nothing amazing but solid). Interesting that you actually write your own order down at the bar. However looks very much like a dive bar in appearance, one of the rooms had a funny smell (maybe mildew?). Can't judge the drinks as we didn't have any. read more

Best seafood gumbo in Baton Rouge without a doubt! All the items on the menu are great too. Fast & friendly service too.

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. read more

WHERE IS THE FLAVOR GEORGE. Got an order of onion rings , catfish , and a bacon cheeseburger. Burger is over cooked and bland bland bland. Burger is just such a weak effort , more flavor in a McDonald's burger 2/10 on the burg. The Onion rings are stupid . I've never felt so dumb just sitting there gnawing on a onion . No flavor at all , they didn't even attempt to season them . 1/10 onion rings . Catfish is the only saving Grace of this order . Actually seasoned and taste pretty good 7/10 on the catfish. Fries are ass , obviously not seasoned and were cold 2/10. Overall very let down by this order and won't be ordering again . I know this place has been good in the past but this lackluster effort has tarnished their reputation in my mind and I don't want someone else to make the same mistake. George u have failed me , and we won't be meeting again . Have a good life george read more

Love this location of George's on the corner of starring lane in Baton Rouge. We stop here regularly. The menu has more options than typical sports bar food. Customers are asked to wear masks while ordering and walking around. At this place you order at the bar and then take a seat at your table or at the bar and they bring everything to you. We love the poboys but this time I didn't want a sandwich so I ordered a fried catfish plate which came with a side of fries and side salad. These were thin cut perfectly cooked pieces of catfish-crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and lightly seasoned-I hate when places over salt but these were good. Hubby got the chicken club sandwich with fries. George's makes the best club sandwiches. Lots of layers of fresh ingredients and crisp bacon. As usual, we enjoyed it. read more

The food is excellent. Fried oyster platter, muffuletta poboy, and shrimp poboy are favorites. The beer is cold. The service is friendly. It feels relaxed and comforting. Love this place. Miss the old place, but love this one. read more

George's is a great spot. You can tell this place has been here for a while and is a BR staple. It reminded me of several staple restaurants in NOLA. The fried catfish was tasty (could have had a little more seasoning). The portion was generous and it came with fries and a salad. The menu was quite extensive, so I hope to visit again and try some other items. If you like to eat bar food and watch a game, this is a great place. read more

George's is the best. Food is always great and the service is always good. Ambiance is one of a kind laid back.

Absolutely amazing I been working in Prairieville for 11 or more years and just found this place today it was a taste of home nola bread staff was amazing I can't stress on how much of a pleasant experience and I WILL be back read more

This is a small restaurant and has a cozy, dimly lit, friendly atmosphere. Not alot of seating inside. There were maybe 12 to 15 tables total. There is a small play area for kids outside and bar with tables and a dance floor outside under cover. They give you the order pad to write your own order down. They read it back to double check that they know exactly what you want. I thought that part was kind of fun and different. I ordered the cheese steak and was surprised when it was served on regular toast and it was chunks of steak instead of the shaved steak that most are used to for a cheese steak sandwich. The sandwich was great and the fries were great! We visited here with family that live in Baton Rouge. Overall I liked it :) read more

Went to George's for 1st time in ages for takeout. The catfish poboy was good, not great, but the pastrami sandwich was the WORST I've ever tried to eat. I do not recommend the pastrami on rye. It came with Swiss cheese, but no sour kraut and very little sauce. The rye bread was mostly burnt. For a $13 sandwich, I expect better. Again, the worst pastrami sandwich I've ever eaten. Arby's pastrami is the best, hands down. The onion rings were very good, as were the cheesy fries. Given I can get catfish elsewhere, I won't be going back for ages, if ever. Sorry, wish I could rate better. read more

George's tagline is "We are different. For a reason." Yes they are. The focus here is purely on the food. It's counter ordering and you pay when they call you back up to get your grub. There's nothing fancy about it but I love it. To me it's perfect in all of it's unpretentious and laid back awesomeness. The burgers are the best I've had in the area. I love the thick, hand formed patties topped with pepper jack cheese and grilled onions and mushrooms. They cook them to order (as they should) and always get my medium perfectly medium. The other thing that really stands out here are the ONION RINGS. Theirs are perfectly cut, seasoned just right and have the perfect batter to ring ratio. Look, I'm a bit of a weirdo when it comes to onion rings and if they are too soggy, too thick, too greasy or even too thin I'm not ordering them ever again at said restaurant and might just cross them off for any future visit entirely. Yeah, I know. But I love onion rings fiercely. So if you like them like I do, try George's. I think you'll agree. Prices are reasonable especially considering the portions here are very large (I've never been able to finish more than half of my burger and always bring it home for dinner). I will definitely return over and over anytime I'm in Baton Rouge. Shoot, I'm thinking an onion ring road trip is even in order now. Who's with me? read more

World renowned poet Trinidad James once wrote: You from the Eastside, then throw it up You from the Westside, then throw it up This is the Southside and we showing up I'm not that familiar with what geography has to do with vomiting, but this George's is on the Southside and it is definitely showing up as far as quality burgers are concerned. The original location of George's under the interstate is one of my favorite red stick restaurants. It's everything I want in a burger joint. It's old, dark, divey and although it appears sketchy, the food is legit. Surprisingly the Southside George's has done an excellent job capturing everything I love about the original. Ordering is done at the bar. The menu is posted in a giant chalk board above where you order. I suggest you try the burger po-boy, cheese fries and onion rings. The rings are hand cut and among the best I've ever had. These cheese fries are loaded with melted cheese and jalapeños and are also among the best I've ever had. Both are offered in small or large portions, but the small is enough for two people to split. The burger po-boy is great. If you think a plain burger is the bees knees, put that bad boy on New Orleans style French bread and watch what happens. Prepare to have your mind blown. George's uses the right bread which makes all the difference. The burger itself isn't some fancy blend of whatever the blend burgers with, but it's homestyle and exactly the way I like it. Service is friendly, but the only real interaction you have with employees is when ordering. You pay upon pick up at the bar and you're expected to get your own utensils, napkins, etc. that doesn't bother me, but if it bothers you, I'd look elsewhere. If you're in the mood for a good burger, check out Southside George's. read more

My Mom and I stopped in tonight for an early dinner. Everyone was super Friendly. My mom ordered Some Fried Catfish which was fresh and delicious. We Split a Large order of Jalapeño Cheese Frys and they were absolutely amazing. I think we could have gone with a small order and it would've been plenty LOL! But we ate every bite. They were that good! For my meal I ordered a cheeseburger and it was very flavorful and juicy. Thank You George's we will definitely visit this location again. read more

I come here once a month for the Redstick Brewmaster's meeting (Google them). They have a decent selection of beer and the food is good. It's a good little bar and grill spot. If you live in the area and want something kid friendly that has something for everyone, this is your place. Check out the burger or po'boys. As far as cleanliness, I haven't had an issue, but it's a little bit of a dive. It's a comfortable joint, so come as you are. The service is always friendly and what you'd hope for. read more

Disappointment of disappointments. I recently ordered a take out burger because the reviews gushed about how the burgers were so great...I don't know how people like their burgers down here...but where I'm from, bland and tasteless does not a good burger make. The burger was not seasoned and overcooked, the cheese tasted cheap and the tomato was over-ripened. The fries and onion rings were equally bland and tasteless, but on a good note, I ordered and paid for a small and if actually received a small serving size, the small is HUGE. But it's still a huge portions of tasteless fries and onion rings. I really wanted a great burger...I didn't get it here. read more

Taste is good very good Po-Boys and highly rated service with a friendly environment, and customer service.

Great food and service. Always enjoy going to or ordering takeout from George's when I am visiting family in Baton Rouge!!

I'm dating myself when I say this but - fortunately - I don't care! But I was "late adopter" of the TV series "Cheers", but once I was pulled in, I was pulled in. And one of the things that pulled me in was the whole idea of a "neighborhood pub" - the community of people for whom that place was a second home. That's the "feel" I get from George's when I walk in. I feel like I'm among friends - most of whom I've never met - but friends nonetheless. It's like we all kind of "know" - this is "our" place. I've been coming here for over a decade. There are fewer dollar bills clinging to the ceiling than when I first came, but they're still present. The kitchen is steady, rock solid. They aren't trying to produce gourmet food here. Just really good, basic food, sometimes with a twist, but always predictably well done. The staff are always friendly, the food is well prepared, the place is clean and well maintained - and yet if you spill something - you're pretty sure no one cares - and the atmosphere is relaxed - great place to watch sports or just hang with friends. Today I had the "California BLT" - very nicely done with all that you expect but the surprise ingredient is the avocado which works WELL. I ordered a side of onion rings which - next to Chimes - are the best in town. Great spot. Come check it out...... read more

Food is good and has been for a long time - pricing is the reason for 3 stars - it's just getting expensive for bar food.

This is a restaurant I will never go to get food from again.The price for the food is not worth the money. I got a seafood combo with fish and shrimp $25.00 and I wanted onion rings instead of french fries , and that was a $4.75 up charge. I got a hot sausage poboy . For $7.25 and no French fries when I placed my order I asked for a a hot sausage Po boy combo she did not tell me they did not tell me they didn't, have a hot sausage po boy the food is really not worth $41.64 .I was very disappointed. And waited all to get this to eat and was very disappointed never again never again. I gave them one star really George don't deserve that.a house salad just a box of lettuce and cherry tomato. read more
