Coffee

Their coffee is the best in town in my opinion! Really nice staff and very industrial vibes. They roast their own beans. There is also alcohol on tap. Very hip coffee shop located in Electric Depot. Within walking distance.

This lovely breakfast diner is a gem. It's in walking distance from where you are. The owners are fun & warm people who love their restaurant & put so much heart into what they do. Try the Shrimp n Grits, POW burger (off menu item), Blueberry Quinoa, Grits Bowl, or their BLT (I sub turkey bacon since I don't eat mammals).

One of the best kept secrets. Their paninis and chicken Alfredo pasta are my favorites. They use the best cheese!! Plus, you can grab a hibiscus tea, Gelato or admire the local Louisiana art. The flamingo hiding under it's wing in the lavish gold frame painting is my favorite amongst them all.

VERY FANCY & upscale. Be prepared to open your wallets. This new concept from Walk-On’s CEO Brandon Landry is the place to see and be seen. Inspired by uber-chic restaurants in Las Vegas and Miami, the luxe interior was designed to the nines. (And it expects diners to be, too—cocktail attire is strongly encouraged.) Sink into your leather chair and get ready for a night of ultra fine dining and top-notch people watching, all soundtracked by a live DJ.

Very good barbecue, beach volleyball, live music, and wide-open spaces. Barbecue devotees will no longer have to road trip to Mississippi for a taste of one of the South’s top-rated ’cue spots.

Only about a mile from the house. This is a child's (12 and under) dream come true. Your kids imaginations will run wild from painting, reading, dancing, fishing, taking care of animals, fishing, grocery shopping, making science, blowing giant bubbles, building blocks, operating heavy machinery, and climbing a giant bookcase reaching all the way to the ceiling!
