Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN

[olddog75]

College students are willing to spend 11 bucks on a burger and fries?

My son is. :icon_wink:

I'd love to see something like Enoch's in Ruston, but I won't hold my breath.

Do you drive to Ruston to eat alot??

We do, more and more. Ruston is replacing M/WM as a dining destination for those of us in the U-P. For everyone on Lake D'Arbonne and west, it's closer, and much more convenient. Ruston's restaurants are for the most part easier to "get to"...at least for us up here.

"CK4" and his buddies pretty much go there all the time now, rarely to M/WM.

I can almost see Enoch's from my office. I've never eaten there.

It's good, but I don't understand the infatuation with it. I guess it's just the best "pub" monroe has.

I would like a local joint that serves American/Cajun fare with a nice patio and no plastic menus. Back when I was in college, I had a tough time finding a nice place to take my folks out to eat that wasn't a chain.

I went for the first time recently and had a very awesome corned beef sandwich with a McSorley's Black Lager.

Ever been to Portico?

Ever been to Portico?

Nope, what is it? and where?

A bar and grill in Ruston on Hwy33 just North of I-20. (there is also one in Monroe) I would highly recommend it next time you are in town. Nice bar, patio, and good food.

If someone were to open a Five Guys or In-And-Out at the old Quiznos Tech Drive location, they would make an absolute killing. Very popular with the college age crowd and that's prime real estate for students. A burrito joint would also work there.

This will soon be a Subway. The one between Waffle House and Johnny's is relocating to this building.

When will your plans be finalized?

Portico = overpriced & nothing special in my book.

I didn't know your parents were American Cajuns.

Ponchatoulas fits that bill...and its one of my fav places in Dawgtown.
