    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    Onion rings , Cheese Burger , Catfish

    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

    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.

I had red beans and rice and a stuffed baked potato. Hubby had the grilled shrimp po boy with a side of potato salad. First off, the side dishes are huge. They were fresh and delicious. The red beans and rice were worth the stop. Hot temperature wise and just enough spice to be real cajun food. The potato was hot and fluffy and was gigantic. It was cooked all the way and soft, not like a lot of restaurants serve! The flavor of the po boy was delicious and fresh. The roll tasted fresh baked. Thank you, Rouge Rabbi, we hope to return If you have the chance, try it, you won't be sorry. The seating is cute, they have online ordering, and the prices are reasonable, $15-$20 per person.

So I used #Yelp and found @rougerabbitbr off of Essen, in the United Plaza. I've driven down Essen multiple times but never knew about this place. It's a nice quaint, very much South Louisiana spot that serves breakfast and lunch. The staff were very kind and friendly. Now I didn't get a breakfast burrito this time, instead I got a breakfast bowl which was soooo good! Next time, I have to try the burrito and the French toast but also something from their lunch menu. If you are in the BR area and wanna try a local spot, check out Rouge Rabbit.

    Came here for dinner on a whim, and couldn't believe what I have been missing out on. Having lived…read morein Houston previously, where there were many great Greek and Mediterranean fares, this restaurant surpassed them all. The portions were perfect, the flavors all blended nicely, with nothing too salty, too bland, or overpowering other flavors in the dish. Their hummus and pita are all made fresh in house, and a must try for appetizer. I then ordered the rice, chicken and lemon soup bowl along with the politika meatballs. The soup is best described as slurping down comfort food. The meatballs were a blend of beef and lamb, which helped to bring down the bold flavor of lamb, and allowed all the flavors of the saganaki tomato sauce to complement. All of that still some left room for desserts. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices. They all looked good. I went with this custard filled filo that was drizzled with honey. It's baked to order, so it was fresh, warm, crispy flakes of filo, and sweetened with honey and a hint of orange zest. Honestly, it's difficult to put it into words to describe it perfectly, but it was very good.
