Soul food · $
1221 Gardere Ln, Baton Rouge, LA
A small, from-scratch soul food kitchen in the Gardere Village Shopping Center since 1998, run by Deneta "Ms. D" Greely-Driffin, who took over from her mother. LSU linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. called it his go-to in 2024, and the owner says Maason Smith, Seimone Augustus and Angel Reese have eaten there too.
