Iverstine is a great lunch spot in Baton Rouge…read more I am always on the lookout for new lunch spots. We often hit up the safe few and it's hard to get the team to venture out. I saw Iverstines in a YouTube clip and it looked intriguing. Apparently it's intriguing to lots of people because it was packed when we went. Despite the crowd, the wait was brief and the staff was friendly and keeping people moving. On our first visit we got sandwiches. The Cuban was a great choice. It was everything a Cuban should be. I would've liked more mustard but it was the best Cuban I've had in BR. Next trip we did a plate lunch. At the recommendation of a dude in line, I got the Tri tip. Solid choice. The green beans on the side were very good. In addition to the lunches, Iverstine is a full butcher. I will report back when I try some of their pre packed stuff. PS. They sell a hat with a piece of bacon on it that says Thiccccc. If anyone wants to get me that as a Christmas gift, I promise to change my profile photo to me in that hat.

I can honestly say everything I have bought from here has been a 10+ and the only complaint I get…read moreis that I should have bought more. The sides are just as tasty as their main dishes. My most recent dish was the smoked turkey which is out of this world. Flavorful, juicy and tender. This will forever be on our table for every holiday meal and days in between just because it's so easy (already cooked) and delicious. The stuffed chickens make great and unique Christmas gifts, especially for the hard to buy for or person who has everything. The staff is friendly and always happy to answer my questions.

Was in the area and wanted some boudin balls and stumbled across this place on Yelp. Walk in and…read morethere's many coolers full of plenty different things (didn't look around much as I'm far from home and just wanted hot food). There wasn't too much in the little hot box but I went ahead and got 2 pepper Jack boudin balls and 1/4 lb of pork cracklins, and was not disappointed at all. The cheese in the boudin ball is all mixed up in the boudin instead of one big clump of cheese (not knocking it) like some boudin balls have. The cracklins also were pretty darn tootin good, both the balls and cracklins were cooled off a bit so must've been sitting for a while and still good! I paid $14 for all of that so can't complain...and the boudin balls are bigger than a baseball so. Really cool guy behind the register..said he has been open for over 30 years so he's definitely got this figured out. Highly recommend

You really never can go wrong with Calandro's. A Baton Rouge staple for decades, this is a great…read moreplace to find all sorts of unique beer and wine, and some amazing deserts. Known for their delicious and diverse king cakes, they have all sorts of treats and special items. If they don't have it, they can usually order it as well. I was searching for a unique beer to bring some friends, and they have one of the largest and most unique selections in the state. The list of beers is growing every week as well. It's almost overwhelming all the different types, but hey, just go back and get another kind later! Their chicken salad is probably the best in town. It has flavor and larger pieces of chicken, so it's not a spread like others in town. Their pimento spread is great for parties as well. They have tons of different cheeses and olives and different Calandros brand goodies. Their produce is always fresh and reliable. They don't tend to cater to special diets, so if you have special dietary needs or restrictions, you may have to go to another store for those. But by nature, you can find items that will work for you. Top all of that with friendly owners, friendly staff, and friendly people all around, and it always makes an enjoyable shopping experience!

The last three times I've used their deli for sandwiches and chicken tenders, has been very…read moredisappointing.. It's frustrating because I was accustomed to good service, and was willing to compromise on the amount of time it took to produce a good sandwich. Unfortunately, those days are gone as their employees are unresponsive, and take an incredibly long time to even recognize you're at the counter. Once your order is placed, you have no further communication with their staff behind the counter because the seldom reappear. Instead the aee hiding behind the wall ignoring people who are at the counter. You can't even get an update as to why your order is taking 20+ mins. When you do finally get someone to help with getting your food, they act as if you've bothered them. We won't be going back and I'll share my view with my friends, family, and neighbors. It's sad that they've let some 16 year olds that are not managed well trash their reputation.

I'm on a crawfish tour yall.. I just want to know why no one told me about this place. Or why I…read morenever heard of it. When I tell you out of all the crawfish I've eaten this season this place takes the cake HANDS DOWN. The crawfish have a nice citrus flavor to them I love that. It's not like all the other crawfish spots I've been eating around town they hit different. The PERFECT HEAT level. Will still have your nose running but you can still taste the crawfish! It doesn't over power. Nice sized crawfish too. The potatoes cut in big nice chunks with good flavor. What set it over the top for me was the butter sauce. Ask for it! I didn't know to ask for it until I heard ole buddy before me ask and I was like whaaaat? It slight sweet to me with a hint of garlic I'll get it everytime. This is my NEW spot. Service was cool they were nice. I was in and out.

They have it all from specialty sausages to the beautifully seasoned boudin, cracklins, and stuffed chickens (seriously, the stuffed chickens are next level), everything here is packed and made with care. The staff was so friendly. You can tell this place is run with pride. I only wish I had one of these near me, because I'd be a regular in a heartbeat. Fair warning: the meats are so good you might want to check in with your doctor about cholesterol levels before making this a daily habit. Honestly? It's probably worth the prescription.
