Shopping might get you to Perkins Rowe, but the food can easily convince you to stick around.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch between stores, meeting the girls for drinks, feeding the family before a movie or turning dinner into an entire night out, Perkins Rowe has dining options for just about every kind of outing.

And with some newer names joining longtime favorites, there are even more reasons to come hungry.

For Tacos, Burritos and Mexican Flavors

If tacos are calling your name, you have options.

Tacos del Cartel brings a lively, modern take on Mexican dining to Perkins Rowe, making it an easy choice when you want to turn dinner into more of a night out.

One of the Rowe’s newest additions, Barrio Burrito Bar, opened this summer as the concept’s Louisiana flagship. The fast-casual Tex-Mex spot serves customizable burritos, bowls, quesadillas and tacos, making it an easy stop when you want something quick before getting back to shopping.

For a Louisiana Seafood Fix

Sometimes you just want oysters.

Drago’s Seafood Restaurant brought its Louisiana seafood tradition to Perkins Rowe in 2025, including the charbroiled oysters that helped make the restaurant famous.

It’s an especially good option when family or friends are visiting and you want to pair a day at Perkins Rowe with some classic Louisiana flavor.

For Ramen Night

There’s something especially satisfying about a big bowl of ramen after a long day.

JINYA Ramen Bar gives Perkins Rowe a Japanese-inspired option with ramen, small plates and drinks. It works just as well for a casual lunch as it does for dinner before heading over to Cinemark.

For Dinner and Drinks

If the plan involves catching up over a glass of wine or turning dinner into date night, Bin 77 Bistro & Sidebar is an easy choice.

The bistro offers food alongside wine and cocktails in a setting that works for everything from an after-work meet-up to a night out with friends.

And because everything at Perkins Rowe is within walking distance, dinner can easily become drinks, shopping or a movie afterward.

For Pizza Night

There are nights when nothing sounds better than pizza.

California Pizza Kitchen keeps things casual with its lineup of creative pizzas along with salads, pastas and other familiar favorites. It’s an easy option for families, groups or anyone looking for a meal before catching a movie.

For a Bigger Dinner

Come hungry for this one.

Texas de Brazil offers the Brazilian steakhouse experience with meats served tableside, making it one of the Rowe’s options when dinner itself is the main event.

Whether it’s a celebration, date night or simply an excuse to gather everyone around the table, this is probably not the night to eat a snack before you leave home.

For Something Quick and Fresh

Not every Perkins Rowe trip needs to become a full sit-down dinner.

CAVA offers customizable bowls and pitas when you want something quick, while la Madeleine is there for café favorites, soups, sandwiches and bakery treats.

And, of course, there’s Starbucks when the shopping trip requires a little extra fuel.

And Don’t Forget Dessert

Because no successful shopping trip is complete without a treat.

Caroline’s Cookies gives you an easy excuse to end the afternoon on a sweet note. Grab one for now, grab a few for later or tell yourself you’re bringing them home to share. We won’t ask questions.

Make a Day of It

That may be the best part about eating at Perkins Rowe: dinner doesn’t have to be the only plan.

Start with shopping, meet someone for lunch, grab a sweet treat, catch a movie or stick around for dinner and drinks. Perkins Rowe was built as a walkable mix of shopping, dining and entertainment, so it’s easy to turn one stop into an entire afternoon or evening.

The current dining lineup also includes ROUJ Creole, giving visitors another Louisiana-inspired option right in the middle of the Rowe.

So the next time the group chat starts asking, “Where should we eat?” maybe the better question is:

What are we hungry for?

Because at Perkins Rowe, you’ve got options.
