Pita bread
Dana W.

This is hands down the best Greek restaurant in the Baton Rouge area. I got the pick two meat platter and it was outstanding. They served us some warm pita with oil. I can never eat anywhere else now. This place is near lots of shopping and right off the interstate. They have remodeled and it's clean and spacious inside.

3. Chicken and Gyro Combo Plate

I have discovered the best Mediterranean food in the Baton Rouge area. If you happen to live or work in BR you are lucky to have several very good Med restaurants to choose from. I thought I had found the best until a co-worker recommended this Roman's location. We usually hit up Roman's for lunch. If you need good food, good service, and to get in and out quickly, this should be on your list. Saying the food is good is a bit of an understatement though. It is legit great. My go-to is the combo gyro shawarma plate. It comes with rice, hummus, and a salad. I ditch the rice for extra hummus and they do that for no charge. The gyro is great but the shawarma is by far the best I have ever had. It is tender and juicy and as flavor-packed as any other food I have ever tried. I do not know how they do it, but it is impressive. My combo plate and water were around $16 before tip. While that isn't a cheap lunch it is about average for BR lunch places. I strongly recommend you add this to your list.

We stopped in for some Greek food when we realized our refrigerator was empty after returning from vacation. We had never been here and it was pretty close to our house so we thought we would try it out. It is hidden in a strip mall next to Smoothie King. First impression was a little under whelming. The place is small with only 10 tables and a small bar. But the smells coming from the kitchen were devine!!! We asked about some wine. The server recomend a Greek red, which I got and loved. BF got one one of the two white wines they had and he didn't care much for it. We started with an order of fried cheese. I ordered the meat moussaka with baba and hummus. BF got the gyro plate. The cheese came out pretty quickly. It was crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and sitting in a creamy garlic sauce. Each dinner came with a greek salad, which was fresh and not too heavy on the greek dressing. The dinner plates arrived with some hot herb covered fresh pitas. Not sure they were house made, but they were so soft and light. The hummus and baba were very tasty and went well with the herbed pitas. The moussaka as soooooo good. Seasoned beef with eggplant and bechamel. Yum! They are uber eats, so we can get our greek fix if we are too lazy to get in the car and drive next time.

Busy lunch today

Let me start off by saying I loooove Roman's Cafe! At first, I used to just order the gyro plate, but one day I tried their Roman's salad with gyro and I fell in love with it!! It has romaine, feta, artichoke, grape leaves, falafel, onions, olives, tomatoes, tabouli, grecian sauce, dried tomatoes, and thin, crispy pita chips! You can add meat to it for an extra charge, which I always do. It's a great alternative if you're trying not to eat too much rice or pita. Their Roman's salad dressing is so addicting that I always ask for extra! My friend absolutely loves their flash grilled lamb and hot sauce and constantly raves about these two items, so make sure you try those too! The service here is always great and everyone is usually friendly. I've never had a bad experience at Roman's and definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area or from out of town!

Maxwell's Market - Chicken Caesar wrap and sweet potato fries (sadly NOT good from this location, will only order from Perkins location from now on)

The staff is really friendly and they make excellent recommendations. Today, I realized I hadn't…read moreeaten yet around noon, and I started heading to a store to grab something quick. Then I remembered Maxwell's! Their sandwiches always hit the spot! I ordered the Rustic Chicken sandwich. I like their French bread because it's not too hard or cooked. It was quickly prepared and the girls at the front checked me out in no time. I was home before i knew it and very satisfied with each bite! Another excellent experience!

girls, if you're getting a chicken Caesar wrap, go to the Perkins location. Please. I've had a…read moresuper good one from the one on Perkins, and I thought this would be the same. Instead, the lettuce was literally COOKED like steaming hot and there was melty mozzarella cheese inside, which is odd because Caesar salads don't typically include mozzarella - just Parmesan. The tortilla didn't taste fresh, and i think they just took the whole wrap and pressed it flat in a panini press. The heat made the lettuce completely wilted, and this was the most disappointing chicken Caesar wrap I've ever experienced. There was also not enough chicken or fillings inside like overall it was a very small wrap for the price. The quality of their shredded chicken is great, but everything else was extremely subpar. After receiving mine with the mozzarella (lactose intolerant), I even decided to bite the bullet and order a second one (so I paid for two) and this time specified no cheese at all, and extra chicken. The second one STILL had cheese, and the same amount of chicken. The sweet potato fries were fine, and the build your own sandwich my boyfriend got was good. just don't do the wrap from here yall. Go to the Perkins location.

I ordered the Down and Dirty sandwich with added jalapeño relish and a side of potato salad.Honestly, this sandwich was a 10/10. The meats were top quality, every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and the sweet jalapeño relish was the perfect finishing touch that took it over the top.As a self-proclaimed potato salad snob, I can confidently say their potato salad is phenomenal. It's sour cream-based and reminds me a lot of the old Voodoo BBQ potato salad... if you know, you know.Between the outstanding sandwich and the excellent sides, Down South definitely lived up to the hype. I'll absolutely be back.

Despite the menu recommendation to add slaw to your Bougie Bologna sandwich, don't do it. Don't get…read moreme wrong, the slaw is good. Real good. Nice and vinegary like I like it. And they put a lot on the sandwich. But it overpowers everything else - the bologna flavor is lost. Also, get the bologna grilled to help bring out the flavor. It's a good sandwich. And it's huge. The potato salad is also very good. I will be back soon to try the pastrami, without the slaw. Maybe I can get a side order of slaw (and hopefully it'll be bigger than a condiment cup that most places consider a side order of slaw. Hopefully.) Also - put some of that Dirty Squirt sauce on your sandwich (or potato salad). It's a good mustard based sauce - kind of like a Carolina Golf but not too sweet.

The place was clean and had ample space. We ordered at the register but once seated I noticed you can order at the table by scanning the q code. My daughter went with the grilled chicken Caesar wrap and I had the jalapeño turkey crunch. We had two drinks that came in huge cups. I had the pineapple upside lemonade and my daughter had the peach tea. They were both good but definitely sweet. Our food was pretty good. The Caesar wrap fell apart easily but the taste was there. The jalapeño turkey crunch was bigger than I thought. I was only able to eat half. It was tasty but there's another place in Baton Rouge that has one that tastes better. Overall, nice spot. I'll probably return to try additional items.

I was super excited for the return of McAllisters in Br. I was out near LSU today so I went to grab…read morean old favorite, the harvest chicken salad. It was a pretty awful experience. First, the store was dirty. Plates were piles up on numerous tables. The floors were sticky. Next, I ordered behind a group of three people. After they ordered, the employee walked off and I waited another five minutes or so to order. I had to repeat my order twice and correct the drink as she was pouring it. I stepped aside to wait. While waiting, a couple of kids walked in. They waited about 10 minutes without being acknowledged. They left and two employees who just needed to acknowledge their existence made some snarky comments for all to hear. While I was waiting, there was clearly a tussle in the kitchen with employees shouting at each other and one lovely f bomb dropped. Another employee mediated and calmed it down, but they all had attitude. The trio in front of me got their food after about 20 minutes of waiting. A door dasher came and waited a while during that time and got his order. Someone finally asked me what I was waiting on. I am pretty sure at that moment they just started to make it. Here is where the only star was earned - A very nice employee walked out with my food after another 10 minutes and apologized for the wait. She offered me a free item, but I just took a refill of my drink. She was friendly and acknowledged the fact I had been waiting for so long. (35 minutes for slathering chicken salad on a croissant) I walked out the door just in front of that trio who had finished their meals and I had just received mine. So I took my order home..... no side. The sandwich was correct, but they did not give me the entire order. That was disappointing. And I paid way too much for that sandwich. I won't go back. As much as I loved the restaurant and love the menu all these years, this location sours it. Someone in corporate needs to visit this location because it will not and should not make it.
