baton rouge: What are good local places to eat in Lafayette or Baton Rouge? What should I order?|||Depends on what kind of food you like. For Baton Rouge: Mexican - Ninfa's or LaCarretta (they're both REALLY good, however LaCarretta is a little less expensive) Chinese - The Great Wall (the food has always been extremely fresh eveytime I've gone) American - Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro (OMG Praline Cheesecake!!! but it is expensive) Italian - DeAngelo's or Louisiana Pizza Kitchen (there's ALOT of Italian to choose from so these might not be the BEST but they are both very good) Greek - Serop's Cafe Seafood - The Chimes or Louisiana Lagniappe I'm still new to BR so I'm sure there are better places, these are just the places we frequent and they're all worth the trip. I have no clue about Lafayette, I don't visit that often.|||You will have to try Phil's Oyster Bar and Restaurant. It's a little family restaurant on College and Perkins that serves amazing seafood. Wednesday night is my favorite b/c they have 1/2 off Charbroiled Oysters, they're amazing!!! I would definitely suggest that! Hope you like it!
