Located on Lee Drive, Mike Anderson's has spent decades earning a reputation as one of the city's most dependable destinations for Louisiana seafood and Southern hospitality. While Baton Rouge's dining scene has evolved dramatically over the years, Mike Anderson's has remained a constant by focusing on what it has always done best: serving quality seafood, generous portions, and welcoming guests like family.

It's the kind of place where a group can gather and everyone finds exactly what they're looking for.

Summer Restaurant Week provides the perfect opportunity to revisit a Baton Rouge classic or introduce someone to a restaurant that has played an important role in the city's culinary story.
