Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN

[kw2292]

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.

I love the brisket sandwich there.. anyone who goes should definitely give it a shot.

There's not much there I don't like. We go every Wed for 2 for 1 double cheeseburgers. Just can't beat it.

Portico = overpriced & nothing special in my book.

Agree!

Exactly!

[Reckless Abandon]

Portico has good food and good atmosphere. Brisket sandwich is legit.

Ever been to Portico?

Every meal I've had there has been great!

[PawDawg]

Just an FYI...

I like Portico okay, but the one in Monroe had a Tech helmet in the bar area until the Ruston location opened. No more Tech stuff in Monroe. FIM was NOT a happy camper.

The Ruston Portico usually has live music about 3 days a week. Portico also sponsors Tech athletics. The Ruston Portico displays a Tech helmet, a Tech Miller Lite sign, and a Tech Bud Light at the bar.

Portico is opening in Baton Rouge. What kind of gear will they have there, you think?

I could guess but the Portico crew can be found tailgating every gameday in Tailgate Alley.

My son works for Portico. And they do indeed tailgate at every game.

Ok so this hint way back in post 25 fell through. The license request was finally denied. It was for a Cheddar's.

The person is looking now at another restaurant...with much healthier options.

Well...that's a little disappointing to hear. Cheddar's would be a nice addition. You get big portions for very affordable prices. Do you have any idea what will replace Logan's? It seems as if it's taking an act of congress bringing in another national chain restaurant. Sante Cattleman Co said it will open this summer. I haven't seen any activity lately.

Logan's is still in play, but with what I heard this week seems even less likely than in recent months.

The Cheddars in Flowood MS (suburb of Jackson) is easily the busiest restaurant in the area. It is literally always packed by 4:30 and stays full past 10:00 EVERY night. I have never not had to wait at least 15 minutes, and that is with a big restaurant operating efficiently. They are just that busy. He may want to reconsider Cheddars, it seems to do really well here. Maybe their franchise fees are really high or something?

I had the worst dining experience of my life at Cheddar's in Flowood.
