Southside Produce is a great local place to get your fruit and vegetable needs met, as well as to…read morebuy houseplants and other interesting products. This location was historically an open-air market, but was completely renovated with overhead doors that can be closed in inclement weather. They have more space, and more pleasant shopping conditions (especially during summer). Southside Produce isn't a farmers market, but they do sell local produce whenever available. When I was in today, they were showcasing local cauliflower, but also had some beautiful fresh Brussel Sprouts from a farm in California. Their fresh produce is always fresh and high quality regardless of its source. Another amazing area they have is the extensive frozen produce aisle. These include virtually every type of frozen vegetable and fruit. I also noted a selection of local meat products in the coolers, these included quite the selection of sausages! In the preserved products, Southside also has you covered. They have their own brand of pickled, jellied, and preserved foods of all sorts. They also sell other name brands. They have syrups and oils, and other similar products. This is an area that's expanded over the years, and is now quite extensive. Then there are the other products that one can find there. These include things like a significant selection of dried beans and rice, local bread products from a number of bakeries, and cypress furniture. In the right season, you can buy fruit trees to plant in your yard or garden. In all seasons, I recommend Southside as a great place to buy healthy and interesting houseplants. I am always amazed by their selection. Service is always great as well. Normally, one need only take their selections to the counter in the center to be rung up. Their registers accept all modern forms of payment including tap to pay (min $4 on credit cards though). If you need any other help, they will be glad to provide it. Everyone seems cheerful and pleasant. I've been going to Southside Produce for decades now. I felt it was overdue to write a review. It's one of those great Baton Rouge places that you need to visit on a regular basis. I stop by often when I'm in the area.

Tucked inside is their bánh mì spot--the Vietnamese po-boy--and baby... it's a staple. Open daily, and you'll usually catch the same sweet older woman back there faithfully whipping out sandwiches like clockwork. It's something about that consistency and care that just hits different. They're under new management now and the space got a little upgrade, so I'm not sure if everything is exactly the same menu-wise, but my go-to has always been the one with meatballs--and I ALWAYS add extra pâté. That pâté? Don't skip it. The bread is exactly what it needs to be. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside... not too hard, not too soft. Perfect balance. Prices went up just a little, but honestly? For about $7, you're getting a full, loaded sandwich that eats like a meal and then some. Still one of my favorite quick eats. Every time I'm in there, I'm grabbing one.

I first learned about this great service because they are partnered with Crescent City Farmer's Market to bring boxes from their purveyors. I had a box delivered a couple of Fridays ago. I knew it would be on a Friday (ordered on Tuesday, I think) and they called me midmorning and told me when to expect the box. Then the delivery person called and said they would be at my house in a few. The box was left at my front door and was chock full of amazing fruits and vegetables and even some backed goods. This week I'm going with the combo box which will have both fruit and veggies. If the box you want says sold out or not available. Then try again next week, they only take a specific number of orders per delivery day for their boxes. When we're not in a pandemic, they deliver to community partners and that's where you pick up. This helps get fresh food to areas without grocery stores and can help get discounts via bulk buying. I'm so grateful for this service right now!

After having come to this place for a few years, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. Today…read morewas an extremely horrible experience with George. He was very nasty to me, extremely rude and disrespectful. After I called him to tell him that I didn't appreciate his attitude and the manner by which he spoke to me, he apologized but the damaged was already done. Some folks I know won't patronize him anymore because of his behavior and rotten fruits and vegetables. So, last year, we purchased their mustard greens for $20 a case. So, I went in today to ask if the greens are still $20 a case and he went off like a mad man. He yelled and said, "Ma'am, I know you never bought mustard greens here for $20 a case and I don't believe you just said that to me." With this loud and obnoxious voice, he kept running his mouth, so I walked in the back to talk to the more sensible person, his wife. I asked his wife and she said yes, they were $20 a case last year but prices have increased to $36 a case. That's all the idiot had to say. Everyone knows that Hurricane Ida all but demolished their establishment so prices were probably increased for repairs. A simple, prices have increased GREATLY from last year would've sufficed. But nooooo, he starts yelling at me, the customer. He ought to be glad I needed these greens for Thanksgiving or I would have just walked out. I accepted his apology but I'm never going back there. Not sure if he's bi-polar or something but he was deranged today.
