Top Best American Restaurants in Geismar

"The Chimes has served up Louisiana-style comfort food and beer for more than 30 years at its main Highland Road location just south of downtown near the LSU campus. Dishes include red beans and rice with sausage, crawfish etouffée, New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp and charbroiled catfish with garlic butter. The Chimes also serves boudin balls, a boudin omelet, cheese fries and fried pickles."

"The Chimes has grown to have three locations, two in Baton Rouge and one in Covington, but it still serves up dishes made from scratch. Take your pick of seafood gumbo or duck and sausage gumbo that comes in either small or large. The big lunch and dinner menu offers much more than gumbo."

"If you want a contemporary and upscale twist to Southern fare, look no further than takeout options at The Gregory. Adjacent to the lobby of the Watermark hotel, The Gregory uses fresh and local ingredients in their brunch, lunch, dinner and takeout menus. The Gregory’stakeout menufeatures small plates, salads, soup and gumbo, flatbreads, handhelds, entrees and pasta that create a unique and exceptional dining experience."

"The Jambalaya Shoppe is a household name in Baton Rouge — in fact, there are 13 different downtown locations. Cheryl Fontenot, a mother of five, opened the first shop in the early 1990s, and the regional chain has been growing ever since. The Jambalaya Shoppe prides itself on “Louisiana Home Cookin,'” so naturally, the gumbo is made from scratch."

"District: Donuts.Sliders.Brew is an enchanting shop that offers guests a savory assortment of donut choices along with other goodies such as coffee, sliders, and sandwiches. The donuts themselves come in many variations, a good way to ensure each customer finds a flavor specific to their liking.
