RESTAURANT REVIEWS

There’s something rejuvenating about a college campus. So we were already in a good mood when we strolled into The Faculty Club at LSU. We were in an even better mood when we walked out.


A visit to Coyote Blues gives one distinct impression: This place seeks to become to Mexican restaurants what P.F. Chang’s is to Chinese food.


Passing by the plain brick building you’d think it was just another country restaurant. But with the parking lot packed on a rainy Wednesday night, maybe there was something to all the talk we’d been hearing about Charlie’s.


Mellow Mushroom is packed on weekend nights, but things were especially busy last Friday night while LSU fans gathered to talk about the Florida game the next day.


Buffalo Wild Wings isn’t the place you bring that special someone for a romantic, candle-lit evening. And that’s just fine.


Johnny D’s may have changed locations in the last few months, but the owner took his identifying landmark with him. A mini version of the Statue of Liberty again stands near the front door of the Italian and New York-style pizza eatery.


Stroube’s Chophouse should have no trouble winning a slice of the downtown restaurant business. It’s chic, comfortable, upscale, and its food should keep the customers coming back again and again.


Chinese Combo King, which just opened last spring, is set to be a popular dining destination not just for college students, but with others as well.
