Best Dinner Places to Eat in False River

"What is it: Even after graduation, Baton Rougeans leave a bit of their hearts at Louisiana State University (particularly during football season). The Chimes, with its massive beer list and soothing heaps of red beans and rice, sits just outside the campus northgates and retains a loyal following of students, alumni and anyone jonesing for a glazed pork chop.Why go: The Chimes defines the city’s fierce love for homestyle cooking and hometown football teams—but the more adventurous diner can still have fun with a just-kegged local craft beer or blackened alligator.Price: Average"

"The Chimes, a Baton Rouge institution for the past quarter of a century, is one of the kings of the craft. When you have a craving for crawfish, gumbo and more, this is the place to be. It rides the fine line between a college dining spot and a top-drawer seafood spot, and its energetic atmosphere complements the flavors perfectly."

"The Chimes is big on two things: beer and food, although the former takes centre stage. The focal point of this venue is the huge (and well-stocked) semi-circular bar around which locals and patrons sit and drink away the night. The drinks menu is split into two parts, beer and ‘everything else’."
