Review Pastime - Baton Rouge

We love the bar keep named Jade! I have been eating this lounge after every LSU event for the past 30 years. To order you must walk back to the rear of the lounge. You must write your order on a white paper notebook. Make sure to hand your order to an employee. After you pay when you get your food. For lunch after a 28-mile bike ride we ordered the shrimp poboy.

Perfect home town eatery located in downtown Baton Rouge. This restaurant has been around for a long time and the food plus service shows why. Wide selection of south Louisiana cuisine including awesome poboys. As my photo shows the food is so good I ate half of my poboy before taking a photo. For out of towner's the only drawback will be getting to it's location in downtown but use Google Maps and you will be okay.

I had lunch here yesterday afternoon...when I say the service was quick and fast. I ordered a cheeseburger dressed and when I tell you I've never enjoyed such a delicious burger in my life. The two ladies I saw in the back and I wish I had gotten their names, were fast and quick. I enjoyed the way I heard them communicating with one another as I was fixing my drink. The owner has a great staff..please let them know I will definitely be back. Found my new hidden gem for lunch.

I absolutely love the cauliflower crust pizza here. It’s a great healthier alternative. And you can barely tell. The bartender Jade is a bada** and was slinging drinks beautifully. I will definitely return just because of her amazing service and personality ❤️

The general manager Jamey Travis was a little unpleasant with me. I had ordered a medium build-your-own pizza with 3 toppings on it. According to their menu, this comes out to $9.50 + 3x$1.75 = $14.75 before tax and then about $16.23 after tax. He tried charging me $18.50, and when I tried explaining why I thought there was a mistake, he seemed to think I was trying to argue with him and did not listen to my explanation. Not willing to hear what a customer has to say is never acceptable. He even insisted I was undercharged, and after adjusting the price, I was still slightly overcharged. There was a mistake on my order when I got there. When I placed my order over the phone, the guy repeated back to me the 3 toppings I wanted on the pizza. When I arrived, onions had somehow ended up on the pizza even though this was not one of the toppings I had asked for. When ringing in the orders, you need to make sure you put it in exactly as the customer says. For example, if the customer orders a build-your-own pizza, you need to ring it in as a build-your-own pizza and not a Creole pizza. They for some reason believed I had ordered a Creole pizza, which I did not. Outside of Jamey Travis, the other employees were definitely polite. I haven't decided if I'll be back or not yet. I thought the food was good but not great.

Their po boys were a little lackluster and overpriced for what you got. On the other hand, the pizzas looked delicious, and my friends loved both the ones they got. They have a massive pizza menu that you can tell they put a lot of effort into. I would absolutely suggest checking out this gem.

Good food good atmosphere, tough to negotiate on first visit during lunch. Write your name and order on a piece of paper and pay when it's ready. Food was good, deep fried banana peppers were diffrent and worth a try, will order again.

Boudin Pizza and Pepperoni pizza were delicious and the atmosphere is great. It's definitely a fun place.

I've always loved the past time...Service was excellent... I was a little disappointed in the pizza... Got one pretty loaded. It was a little dry and not enough cheese. I forgot the name of it, it had mushrooms, ground meat, olives, We watched the rest of the LSU game with the big TV's...

Absolutely the worst pizza delivery experience possible. 1.5 hour delivery, cold pizza, and a horribly rude delivery driver. The pizza we ordered was not made even close to spec. When I called to express my concern, the manager on duty simply advised me to not order from them again and hung up. Unbelievable. If your looking for sheer and utter ambivalence and managerial incompetence, this is the place for you!

Great place. Definitely has an old neighborhood joint feel to it which is great. Yummy burger and fries. Staff was SUPER nice! Thumbs up from Alexandria!

Had a sandwich for lunch the other day and just like 50 + years ago, I was still delicious...good luck Randy!

This place is great! Get some pizza and a roast beef po boy.

Great place for an LSU fan to warm up for the game or Cele rate afterwards! Great food and reasonable prices only a short drive from LSU.

Great bar staff! Always enjoy the conversation and the food is great too!

Always a packed Game Day House. Workers don’t miss a beat. A Place for Generations to Enjoy on Any given day. Special place💕. Cold Coca-colas in the glass bottles😋
