They have freshly made specials, muffulettas, and my goodness, the cannoli!! You really could get something different here every time you go! This is a great place to pick up something when you just don't feel like cooking, grab a host/hostess gift, enjoy some lunch, and share your experience amongst some really great people. They host occasional wine tastings and education nights, so make sure you follow them on Instagram. Just a wonderful experience when you visit! Saluti!

If you are looking for a great muffuletta this is the place to go. It's a small Italian market…read morewith lots of great frozen prepared foods, meats, Italian sausage and even boudin. There is a little counter in the back where you order sandwiches, then you pay at the front of the store. A few inside tables are available if you want to dine in but we did a take out. I would definitely return for a sandwich and to try the boudin and Italian sausage. We also picked up a jar of olive salad to take home. Enjoy!

They also had a good selection of flavored oils and vinegars as well as a nice selection of local products. I loved the variety of spice blends. The airy, rustic vibe of the store was perfect.

Everyone was so nice, it was fun to meet people and enjoy the experience with them. The instructors were awesome! Fun, friendly and informative. The food was phenomenal. We had reverse seared chuck steak with chimichurri, flavorful roasted potatoes, not your average roasted cauliflower, a light and tasty fennel/celery salad and an amazing roasted onion hummus with spicy chickpeas. For dessert I learned to make cream puffs and it was accompanied by an awesome in-house tea. I can't wait to book my next class with more friends. This place is awesome, can't recommend enough. Such a fun date night or friends night out. Heck, something fun to do yourself! Learn a new skill and get a great meal out of it. It comes with a store discount so I racked up before leaving. Big fan.

When you read the reviews below, most people know what this restaurant is and how it works. My…read moreresponse is less harsh about the service or it's overpriced charcuterie board concept. I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

Yum yum yum. I have been eating at LTK for many years but had not been in a very long time. I was…read morepassing by and decided to stop for some of their crawfish. It was on a Sunday but it was not too busy. I got two pounds of crawfish with their potatoes. The crawfish was juicy and spicy and well seasoned. They were also a good size. The potatoes were soft and spicy with a great kick. The ambiance of the place is chill and gives a gas station type of vibe. It was quiet and it has an open space with no tables and chairs to sit down. They do also sale crabs, items in their freezers, drinks, and other boiled meats. Try them out if you are ever on Scenic Hwy!

With so many specialty seafood spots in all corners of Baton Rouge, the hunt for quality stuff…read moreusually comes down to just picking a place. One of those places is LTK, which has had a reputation locally as a no-frills option for quality boils, despite being slept on by most folks in the city. They have become an affordable destination for boils, especially during crawfish season. Like so many places in the hood, LTK isn't much to look at. Folks are usually lining up here for most of their crabs, or crawfish, and shrimp when in season. Owned and operated by a Vietnamese family, they are sweet to most folks but take zero ish from anyone. When things get a little hairy in these parts, they're the first to put their foot down. (#1) The menu is pretty simple: shrimp, crawfish, crabs, available in a seasoned boil or fresh (aka live). Shrimp is a premium and not always available, but the crawfish is dynamite. Wherever they're sourcing them is clearly local, since the crawdads are nice and large and well seasoned throughout. I appreciate the corn, potatoes, and eggs that thrown into the mix. They also offer meat like boudin and/or boiled sausage as well as obscure parts like turkey necks, pig feet, etc. Their food is always excellent. The prices are quite good and they're usually a few dollars off from more popular vendors. They accept credit cards ($10 minimum) but prefer cash. There are a lot of signs regarding food stamps, which is only acceptable for certain items but not for boiled meat. Beware of lines during crawfish season and since they run out of inventory practically daily, it's best to call ahead of time. ____________ (#1) Thanks for enforcing social distancing and masks.

Tony's seafood never disappoints whenever I need something I can count on this place to have it. I…read moreLOVE crab clusters and they have Snow and Dungeness at a great price and they are a good price. Sometimes you want seafood but you don't want to go get it so why not make it at home. They have all the fixings for a boil from the corn down to the sausage. The service is great the people who serve you the fish always give you what you ask for. Now the ambiance is to be desired. It's on the Infamous Plank Road. So shop with caution on that street. They always have a sheriff or two on the property to help keep down problems but still be cautious. I will continue to shop for my fresh fish and shellfish from this local home town staple.

CRABBAGE! Tony's…read moreSeafood... I ordered seasoned crabs, not what looks like the remnants of dirty old slumgum crabs who retired from the mud wrestling team. When did dirt become "seasoning." Unless y'all have invented invisible Cajun dirt seasoning. Customers do not expect to purchase filthy, dirty, cold, crabs from a company hailing an 'outstanding, legendary reputation as a top-tier local institution, highly praised for its exceptionally fresh Gulf catch and serving quality food.' When returning the crabs for a refund, the lady giving the refund trying to convince my husband to keep them dirty cold things said, "We sell crabs at room temperature. We don't sell hot crabs." Ya'll the receipt clearly says, "HOT CRABS." Did she not realize the infraction she admitted! She basically confirmed they commit food violations, not keeping food at proper temperature!! How about that? He told her to refund our money back. Cleanliness and proper food temperature matter and this is not the first time I have returned dirty, cold, CRABS, back for a refund. Your hot food portions also have shrunk considerably yet your prices had increased tremendously. People are paying more for less. Tony's, this horrible economy does not support greed, especially dirty greed especially where improper food handling or poor food prep can lead to food borne illnesses. Here's what Google says about local seafood suppliers, markets, and regional culinary authorities who advocate for rinsing or thoroughly prepping live blue crabs before they hit the boiling pot to remove marsh mud and debris. Guess who's leading the pack!!! "Tony's Seafood: "Located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the largest seafood market in the Gulf South operates under a strict operational standard that prioritizes extensive washing and sorting of live local blue crabs and crawfish prior to boiling or retail packaging to strip away pond and bayou mud." ARE THEY PRACTICING STANDARDS THEY ADVOCATE? Things that make you go hmmmmmm...... Rouses Markets "in their official emphasizes the practice of purging and rinsing live shellfish in fresh, cold water or placing them on draining ice to clean off the shells before introducing them to the seasoned boil." Louisiana Crawfish Company "instruct to physically rinse mud and marsh grit off blue crabs before they hit the boiling pot." As the song say, "You better shop around." I'll be spending my money elsewhere. Y'all can keep your overpriced food and swamp dirt "seasoned crabbage garbage."
