BATON ROUGE. Something of a cross between a bar-and-grill and a sports bar, this popular restaurant is convenient to LSU and promotes its school spirit with a wealth of university athletic memorabilia. It also offers plenty of satisfying fare, including TJ's signature babyback ribs, other barbecue dishes, and pub food. You'll also find a buffalo chicken salad and a brisket salad if you want something savory without all the added calories. Especially fun (and crowded!) on game days.
