I've never had a bad meal at George's. I used to absolutely love George's under the Perkins Road overpass due to the yesteryear mood, and food, and as it was a Baton Rouge classic. But the George's on Highland Road definitely carries the torch and maintains the excellent culinary standards of "classic" George's on Perkins Road.
My favourite item on the menu is the Club Sandwich, complete with fries. BUT the daily plate lunch specials ROCK. Today I had the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and field peas. Simply delicious, old-fashioned, down home cookin'.
The dark, pool hall sort of ambience; the always cheerful, responsive staff behind the bar where one orders the food; and the fabulous classic Rock music--today I walked into George's and heard my guy Tom Petty on the speakers!--make for the kind of restaurant to which you will return over and over. Consistency in quality, generous portions, reasonable prices, and the tastiest food around in the world of casual dining in BR, George's is THE destination.

I recently brought my family to George's Southside for lunch with friends, and we had a great time. I love the dive restaurant vibe, even with its popularity. The menu had plenty of great choices—my burger and my wife’s po'boy were both fantastic. The service was friendly and fun, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Always good love their burgers and catfish. The pastrami sandwich is killer as well
Pretty decent place but have noticed as the prices have soared (like everywhere else) the ingredients have become lesser quality. They used to make home style fries for example and the oyster poboys used to come piled high with fried oysters. Perhaps I just caught a few bad nites. Will try again of course but the cheeseburger was my go to sandwich. What happened

George’s is a fun restaurant with a lively crowd and a long history in South Baton Rouge. Popular and can be very crowded. Some of the best thin fried catfish to be had anywhere, Lots of options for food. Efficient service and reasonable prices.
