    No-Bun Burger Bowl: Simple yet delicious.
    Todd A.

    Not a bad bottom shelf version of Dave & Buster's; the food was great but the arcade was repetitive and lacking, the dining area desperately needed to be cleaned, and the service was just short of being unmentionable. Before the kids let loose with their play cards we ordered a late lunch and that in itself was a process. There was a sign that said "please wait to be seated" yet there was no one there to seat us. Finally noticed the girl at the bowling alley counter observing us so I decided to ask her how we could get a table. She explained to us that the sign was primarily for the weekends and normally people just pick a table. Would've been nice to know before we waited five minutes to ask, but that's on me I guess. Anyway, she got down spraying the rental shoes and led us to a table that had obviously just been used as the napkins and crumbs from the last customer were the only visible tabletop decor. After browsing the menu for a moment I opted for the No-Bun Burger Bowl and my kid went with his standard fare, the personal pan cheese pizza. We were both satisfied with our choices. Ordered a loaded fries appetizer too, but that never ended up on the table as our waitress forgot to jot it down. I let it slide because she seemed more comfortable spraying bowling shoes than taking orders and the place was pretty slammed. Didn't take long to get our food though, that was a nice surprise. By the time it arrived we still had half full glasses and my kids weren't complaining about being bored yet so I'll definitely take that as a win. The pizza was great according to my son and he almost finished the whole thing. The fact that he didn't attributes to the size of this "personal pan" serving. He never leaves leftovers when it comes to pizza and this could have fed both of my kids. He said it's better than Chuck E. Cheese's; that's a pretty grand compliment coming from him. The No-Bun Burger Bowl hit the spot. For obvious reasons I'm trying to cut back on carbs and I haven't been feeling fried food lately. Blame it on age, but the heavy stuff just doesn't sit right with my gut anymore. This deconstructed burger bowl was a lean, hunger crunching delight. The patties were cooked to perfection, crisp on the outside and juicy in the middle. The shredded lettuce bed was mixed with perfectly tangy ranch and the whole thing was topped with purple onions, American cheese, thick cut pickles, and slices of fresh tomato. Seems pretty basic, but the simple flavors combined to create an incredible eruption of taste and summer vibes. This is something simple I'll start making at home. Pricing was fairly decent too. We ended up paying $138 for the four of us and that included $100 of game play for the kids. Not too damn bad!! After a quick trip to the bathroom (which I'll note were semi-clean with minimal urine on the floor) we headed out to the game floor. First thing that called to me was the air hockey table. Swiped the card, no puck. Went to three other tables and did the same thing...no pucks. Great! Asked the service desk about it and...no pucks. That was frustrating. Opted for some skee-ball and hoops. Classics, but boring after a little while. The kids had fun with claw machines and a couple of arcade games but my daughter is obsessed with racing games and considering that was about 75% of what they had, she was in hog heaven. Everything was just so...repetitive. And boring. And everything we've seen before at every other arcade/diner combo trying to capture the success of Dave & Buster's. Wouldn't recommend really, there's better things to do nearby, but if you've got small kids who are still amazed by the lights and sounds, go for it.

    A bowling alley, resturant, arcade center all in one! It is a one-stop-shop for all things fun! I had such a fun time here. I went to Main Event to bowl on a Tuesday night, and it was quite busy... I think a company had rented out a few lanes. But, there were still lanes open, and we walked right in and got a lane. For bowling, I thought $30 for an hour was a great deal.. came with the shoes and booth service. Although, our booth server didn't come up to us until we were half way through our time, which I didn't like. Other than that, it was such an enjoyable experience. Our booth area was very clean and the bowling alley seemed very kept up... all the tvs worked, lanes functioned perfectly, no malfunctions. When we were down, we walked around Main Event and saw SO many arcade games, a full blown resturant, and even a ropes course. This place was huge and had so many different areas where you could go. I will definitely be back for more fun and bowling!

    While visiting Baton Rouge I found this hidden gem on TikTok! Ambiance was beautiful! Drinks were delicious and strong

    Decorated table and Happy Birthday sign for our 8-year-old Payson. (Our "peanut")

    Was visiting Baton Rouge with some friends who had their 8-year-old granddaughter with them. Called prior to arrival (twice) and spoke with Brianna (sp) both times. Advised her we were coming on the youngsters actual birthday. She was so helpful and her superior, Christian Legard, were both absolutely amazing! She arranged for us to have a decorated table with a sign for our birthday girl. Also suggested a decorated bowling pin with her name and her favorite characters, Lilo & Stitch. They made an announcement to wish all July birthday folks a Happy Birthday and a special Happy Birthday to our little girl, Payson. Food was great and although they had several groups with parties and events scheduled, made sure that Payson got to try the Ropes Course and play some Laser Tag. Could not have asked for a better day for our "Peanut".

    A True Hidden Gem - Lagniappe Steak & Seafood (Bluebonnet Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA)…read more I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lagniappe Steak & Seafood on Bluebonnet, and it is without question one of Baton Rouge's best-kept restaurant secrets. On my first visit this past Wednesday, I ordered the fried shrimp and catfish lunch special, and immediately knew this place was different. The seafood was perfectly seasoned--not overly salted or heavily breaded, just a delicate, crisp coating that highlighted the freshness and natural flavor. The servers were exceptionally professional--friendly and attentive without being overly familiar, which I truly appreciate. What took the experience to the next level was when Anas, the manager or owner, personally came out to check on my meal. She was tall, poised, and stunning--truly looked like she could walk a high-fashion runway in Paris! Her elegance and hospitality added a touch of class you just don't see often anymore. I was so impressed that I returned two days later--the day after Thanksgiving--to try the grilled pork chop I've been hearing people rave about. Let me tell you... WOW. It was phenomenal. Juicy, tender, perfectly grilled with picture-perfect char marks--honestly felt like eating a premium steak. I give it a 10/10 without hesitation. On that visit, Jennifer was my server and she was fantastic--attentive, warm, and highly professional. Now here's the part that blows people's minds: these incredible meals were part of the lunch special, priced similarly to what most folks spend at a fast-food restaurant for a two-piece combo with fries and a drink. Same price--completely different level of dining. And for those who don't know: I've traveled all over the world and I am the ultimate foodie--something my followers know well. I live for great cuisine, authentic flavor, and memorable dining experiences. So when I tell you this place is worth your time, believe me. --- When in Baton Rouge, go to Lagniappe Steak & Seafood. You will not be disappointed by the ambience, service, or the quality of the food. A genuine 5-star dining experience and without a doubt one of the finest hidden gems in the city.

The burger was delicious, but the fries were the real standout... absolutely exceptional! I also really like the layout and overall vibe of the restaurant. If I had one suggestion, it would be to dim the lights a bit more in the main dining area to make the atmosphere even better. Otherwise, it's a very inviting space. Looking forward to going back--especially once the weather warms up so I can enjoy the patio!

The crawfish were flavorful, seasoned well, and priced right, which is honestly the perfect combination when you're sitting down ready to eat. They had that messy, not really spicy, addictive quality that keeps you reaching for "just one more" until the tray is empty. I also tried the buffalo wings. They weren't that great, if I'm being honest, but I was hungry so they got the job done. The crawfish are clearly the star of the show here anyway. The atmosphere felt relaxed and unpretentious, exactly the kind of place you want for seafood with friends, cold drinks, and a table full of shells piling up by the minute. If you're wondering whether I'll be back, I already have.

    A new bar in town with golf simulators all around the restaurant. I really loved the vibe in here…read more To me, it is definitely more 'bar-ish' than golf-ish. There are only about 5 golf simulators, but a big bar with tons of bar like seating and TVs everywhere. This would be a great place to watch a sports game or to come to enjoy the atmosphere if you don't want to do the gold simulators. We sat at a high top and were able to watch tv and watch some parties golf. From where we were sitting, the golf simulators offer more than golf. There were so many things you could do, and each simulator had there own area/cubby, so that was nice if you wanted to do that. I thought the service could have been better. First, they had to start a tab when you order, which I understand for this atmosphere. Tip is already included when you pay. Because it is still new, we didn't mind that the service was slow. The food and drinks were great bar food. Delicious! We got the mozz sticks, chicken Caesar wrap, and the hot honey chicken sandwich. It was all great portions and very good. I also got the strawberry mojito, which I ended up getting another one because it was so good. Will definitely be back!
