Overpass Merchant was absolutely fantastic! Our daughters (twins) are freshmen at LSU, and this was our first time going to this amazing restaurant. Of course, one has to get the delicious cheese curds. We also got the truffle mac and cheese, which was delicious. I got the roast pork steam buns, which were lighter than air and just heavenly! Can't wait to go back for these again soon!

Food was excellent. The service was very slow. The acoustics are not good. The noise level made it difficult to have a conversation.

We enjoyed the atmosphere & each other’s company, but the food was underwhelming. Our chicken cub sandwiches were dry & overcooked.
