That would be Tommy's pizza in Hammond.

No one really lives in the city limits so the numbers aren't really indicative of the truth

Don Chuy's where the old Duck Diner was is the best of the 50 Mexican eating places in the parish.
Absolutely not.
New place in the shopping mall that West Monroe Brookshire’s is in.
It’s called Mi Casa Grande and is superior to any Mexican place within 50 miles. Guarantee it.

I left in 98. It was sucking wind then. I can’t imagine how bad it is now. I think the city government is run by all black people so draw your own inferences from that.

Johnny’s back in the day was legit. The franchises decreased the quality over the last 10-15 years. Now the labor shortage has made the quality of the staple locations go to shite.

Go get your picture made at the Duck Dynasty Warehouse

Unfortunately you’re a few months too late to experience The Kitchen

When one thinks Monroe, La is better than New Orleans, La (and considering I am Nola through and through…and deploying safety changes given its out of control thugs and criminal justice)… Might be reflection time on your soul, how short life is, and why you are on this Earth. Good Lord
While I’d never live in Monroe, I did live in Nola for a few years. Company I’m currently working for would require me to move back to Nola once my project is over….that won’t happen unless the piggy bank opens bc no chance I’m moving back to Nola (will buy on the northshore before I live in Nola again) currently

Nice place. Most everyone is friendly. You won’t get mugged or carjacked. Traffic is light. And there’s plenty of good restaurants.
You can’t possibly be talking about Monroe. It’s a shite hole lol

For 2 years, I lived within walking distance of that Brookshires. It’s not a bad area at all. Quaint, quiet, country as hell.

There is nowhere I've been in Louisiana where the roads can be called better.

No matter what anyone local tells you stay the frick away from Johnnys. God that place sucked.
Field house, trapps, and waterfront were Al seats my favorites in college. Daily press is amazing as well. A lot of good food options. Everything else is meh. Good fishing if you’re into it.
