The Marble Slab Creamery is a nice place to enjoy a frozen treat. They are one of the original tenants of the CitiPlace development, and are still going strong today. Of course their namesake marble slab is an important component of their confections. It is a frozen surface upon which they blend the add-ins of your choice to the ice cream of your choice to make a dessert that is uniquely yours. Any and all toppings or add-ins are allowed. If this means too many choices for you to deal with, don't worry because they have many pre-selected options posted for you to choose from. In addition to all the bowls and cones, they also have shakes, sundaes, and even ice-cream cakes you can purchase to take home or to a party. There is also a menu that includes classic sundaes and the decadent banana split. There are indoor and outdoor tables for you to enjoy your desserts upon, or you can get them to go. I also saw a sign that indicates they do catering, which seems like a great idea for a party! read more

I don't understand why each and every establishment closes at 9 pm in Baton Rouge. Especially with it being a casino town. After dinner my friends and I wanted ice cream. The closest place of this nature was Brewsters Ice Cream. Knowing it closed at 10 pm we kicked it into high gear and headed that way arriving at 9:40. When we arrived we noticed all lights were off with zero cars in the parking lot...they had closed early. We were not giving up though. Next closest spot was Marble Slab. My gf Kim called and asked if they were really closing at 10 or planned on packing up early and heading out. The gentleman politely said they would remain open until 10. She warned him we would arrive with an estimated ETA of 9:58. He stated his doors would remain open. We arrive literally at 9:58 and gleefully smiled because he kept his word and the Open sign was lit up bright red. Knowing we had minimal time, we scurried inside and quickly made up our mind. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us with a sincere smile and happily made our four orders. While we were waiting for our dessert, we all genuinely thanked him for staying open and enjoyed some small talk. Turns out this establishment is family owned and has been open for over 25 years. He was the son of the owner attending LSU pursuing a degree in business as he planned on taking over the business. We sat down for a moment and enjoyed our ice cream and chat while he began closing duties. All the ice cream is made in house and all toppings were available at no extra charge. These days one gets charged extra for basically anything and everything so it was nice to see this place is kind enough to add extras with no additional cost. Our ice cream was amazIng. I had the pecan caramel something () that consisted of butter pecan ice cream with caramel, pecans and chocolate chips in a waffle cone. Hubs got strawberry cheesecake also in a waffle cone dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles. Again both were fresh and absolutely amazing. I wish more places displayed the customer service this business had. His attitude, friendly demeanor and kind soul made our evening. Thank you sir! If I lived anywhere remotely close to Baton Rouge this most definitely would be my go to spot for ice cream. read more

The only reason I'm giving 1 star is because we came on a Saturday afternoon and there was only 1 employee working....1. And as you know, the ice cream here takes some time to make. The line was 11 people long, which wouldn't be an issue if there was more than 1 employee. Pretty poor management. read more

The ice cream taste like old times however the establishment is not like old times. One employee working. I waited a few mins before he even came from the back to wait on me. I was just standing in the lobby area. He initially came to the front with no mask or gloves on. My receipt wasn't detailed so I could've been charged more. I can tell he was trying to hurry with me to get back to the back of the establishment to do whatever he was doing before I came in. It's not extremely well kept like back in the days but quality of ice cream seems the same. Due to Covid I think they should have a better setup for getting paper towel/napkins instead of having an exposed roll out. read more

I am from out of town, and was so exc to eat cotton candy ice cream (my favorite childhood flavor). I had entered the establishment and asked the ONLY employee if they had that flavor. She bluntly replied "not today" and continued to take the order of the next customer. I am so disappointed that my memory of this place is now only a memory, as this location clearly doesn't have the same sweet atmosphere as it once did. Creamery more like Thievery!!!!! read more

Pimply faced boy that don't know the meaning of the term customer service. My wife and I paused at the counter trying to fish out the cherry on my milkshake. The boy says: have you already paid? I said yes. He then replied: Y'all can go. He needs to be a little more tactful on how he says things. He could have said, can I get you anything else? And thank you. Milkshake was good but girlie that was the shift leader as far as her badge says, didn't fill my cup with that sweet delicious stuff because as far as I can see she didn't want to make the effort of getting the thick milkshake out of the blender. She just covered it up with whipped cream. Y'all can go there just get on these kids to do right. read more

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.
