Some of the best food in Louisiana is found in unassuming little diners like Louie’s Cafe. If you went to LSU or grew up in the Baton Rouge area, you most likely have memories of eating at good old Louie’s. They’ve been a time-honored tradition for many Tiger fans, tailgaters, and late-night meals for almost 80 years and they might just be the best diner in Louisiana.

Louie’s Cafe has been around since 1941.
