Top Best American Restaurants in Bayou Lafourche

"Located on the historic Highland Road, Sammy’s has been serving up all of the best Louisiana dishes since opening in 1988. A family-friendly restaurant with arcade games for the kids and those adults who never want to grow up. Try the topped blackened tilapia, shrimp, or crawfish, or the Acadian catfish, a fried catfish filet smothered in crawfish etouffee."

"Sammy’s Grill is another must-try casual spot for gumbo and Southern favorites. Sammy’s opened as a neighborhood spot in the late 1980s, and now it has locations in Baton Rouge, Central, Prairieville and Zachary. Sammy’s has a decent selection of soups, including tasty seafood gumbo, crab bisque, shrimp and corn soup and crawfish etouffee."

"Bin 77 has more of a courtyard area, but either way it’s the perfect place to grab a drink and enjoy some great food. Plus Perkins Rowe starts it’s Rock N Rowe concert series in the spring, which makes it a great spot to grab a drink before/after the show."

"Head over to Perkins Rowe to enjoy a glass of wine and some delicious food on the patio of Bin 77."

"Counter Culture Frozen Yogurt has been a Baton Rouge staple since it first opened its doors in 1977. They offer creative and mouth-watering flavors, including Toasted Coconut, Georgia Peach, and Green Tea. We recommend mixing one of their daily flavors in with a sundae, like the Humphrey Yogart, which is a sundae topped with bananas, strawberries, grapes, granola, and honey."

"Although Baton Rouge is largely considered a site for culture and history tours, there are several things to do in Baton Rouge for the nature lovers as well. The Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center is a huge park containing a variety of landscapes. As you amber through the pathways, you will encounter armadillos, coyotes, foxes, otters, and many more creatures in the Center’s forest and swamps."

"The facility spans 103-acres and is devoted to the conservation of Louisiana. There are live animal exhibits, examples of plant and animal species that call Louisiana home and ecology and art exhibits that the entire family can enjoy. They also have a gravel path for those who enjoy hiking that will give you a small taste of the outdoors."

"There is no doubt, a walk in the park should be on your list of things to do in Baton Rouge on a date. Take a leisurely walk through Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center. You will see wonderful and untouched flora and fauna."
