Frostop

I went to frostop yesterday for lunch and got a hamburger and fries and a rootbeer float. The root beer float was amazing! The people working there where extremely nice the man behind the counter noticed i had drank all the root beer out of my float and offered a free refill of rootbeer. To me thats great service! On the way out he even offered to make me a to go cup of rootbeer. The hamburger was really good and the fries where fresh and hot. If you want a good rootbeer float and a burger go to frostop. Yes it looks old but hey if it aint broke dont fix it. Most new restaurants dont even make it 2 months and this place has been open since the 1950s.

Delicious!!! The restaurant is set in a late 50’s type theme with a very welcoming staff. The food is prepared fresh to order with a homemade taste bursting with flavor. The root beer floats are simply addictive, you’ll have to have more than one.

Ok so the outside made us feel a little leery of what to expect. Then greeted by some great service helped us order our burgers. Always wanting to try burger spots. This was awesome. Get the signature burger. Left there very pleased and will come back. Get the frosted root beer. It’s how a&w used to do it.

I would only recommend the root beer float; everything else sucks! The cashiers are not to bright or quick. I would tell you to go to Dearmans for a really good burger but they are temporarily closed dued to a fire. Hopefully they will be open soon.

Great root beer float, but this the dirtiest food establishment (dirtiest business actually) that I’ve been to in a long time. Everything is dirty, food spattered everywhere, lights flickering, wires hanging from ceiling. Pretty gross. Even their cooking area looks bad, like the plastic tub they use to coat their fried food is cracked and old, dingy looking.

Service polite order all screwed up price terrible food sick where is the health department bathrooms disgusting

Visited with my mom here for lunch before visiting the downtown museums. We shared a shrimp po-​boy and had an order of fries each with a drink. One of the better shrimp po-​boys I’ve had in a long time… crispy shrimp, flavorful tartar, soft french roll… can’t go wrong. Good portion sizes as well; we shared the large size and it was quite filling. We didn’t have time for a float but I hear they are great… haven’t had one in years! Look forward to getting one on my next visit.

My sister was giving me a tour of downtown Baton Rouge and she almost drive by this place until I insisted on stopping. For what? Root beer float of course! First of all, this is an old fashion diner hole in the wall kind of place. These are the best joints around. I wished I could have tried the menu but we were only there for the root beer float. It did not disappoint. Can’t wait to visit again and give the hamburger a try. If you are freaked out by a bit of dirt and an old restaurant, just don’t look up. Seriously go for a float or malt

Divey. Dingy. But I love those kinds of places IF the food is good. My half catfish po-​boy was just eh. The service was ridiculously slow. They were nice and apologetic but still really slow. Probably wouldn’t eat there again.

I’m a «hole in the wall» type of girl at times, so Frostop definitely had me singing the blues when I walked in, because it took me back in time. Literally. This place is definitely retro, and the classic rootbeer float is realllly good. I guess its true, they don’t make em like they used to anymore. I think my float lasted a long time considering the warm weather, if I had a float from anywhere else it would’ve evaporated in seconds. I like this place, I didn’t try the food but one thing for certain, keepin’ it retro has served this place well. Sipping a root beer float from here will definitalty have you time traveling to easier times…

This place is set up like an old 1950’s diner. That in itself is cool. The part that is not is that I believe the place hasn’t been remodeled since then. The booth’s has stuffing coming out of them… every single booth!, the floor looked grimey, and everything looked old. Not retro… OLD!
I ordered a regular burger and fries. The food was not quite awful but almost. 1^st the burgers are on a sesame seed bun. Those are the dryest, biggest tasteless non-​smashable buns ever. The burger patty tasted like those I use to get in the middle school cafeteria. I’m not sure it was all beef, tasted like those I remembered in my preteen years. The fries were of the frozen variety. The one good thing is the Frostop rootbeer floats. That was spot on… but that was it.
The guy taking our order was very friendly and the food came out fast. Thus the reason for 2 stars. The place has potential but they’d have to actually invest back into themselves.

I liked the feel of the place — run-​down but authentic’50s hamburger joint — but the food was sort of disgusting. The hamburger patties, which don’t quite look like meat, are kept in a warming bin. The fries were inedible. The rootbeer float, the crown jewel of the place, was only so-​so. It was all so much more promising before I stepped inside. Two stars because of the giant rootbeer float outside.

This place is tore up from the floor up, but the food is soooooooooo good. The root beer is as good as any she she craft concoction you will ever find. The Shrimp Po Boys are light and flaky, not greasy at all. The onion rings are also incredible. If you can get past the beat up interior, you’re in for a treat.

Awesome food. Must try their onion rings and rootbeer. It’s a must. I love this place. Go there all the time. Yum!!!

I am only reviewing the Root Beer and a chocolate shake. First the shake… It’s good. It is made with soft serve ice cream, simple and tasty. Now the root beer… Do not get your hopes up. The root beer is far too sweet, no bite, served out of a standard soda fountain (which I can’t help but feel compromises the consistency), and the mug was chilled but not frosty. I was very disappointed and did not ask for a refill. I gave 2 stars because I didn’t try the food, and the shake was good but the place was dirty and the root beer was just bad.

I asked them what was good there and they said «The Burger». So, I got it and ya know what, It was a pretty tasty burger. Unfortunately, the fries sucked and their famous Root Beer was very sweet and lacked carbonation.
Sure, the burger was good but it wasn’t enough to make me want to go back because I feel like a greasy lump right now. I need a nap.

My husband and I went here to grab a burger after the Louisiana marathon expo. It was so good! I loved my frosted mug root beer. We had a great time. There was a good size crowd. Everyone’s order smelled really great.

Didn’t eat anything — frankly it looks like a dirty, unsanitary McDonalds. But their root beer is amazing and I’m a root beer snob. Almost tastes like a cross between a somewhat spicy root beer and a cream soda. Well worth the stop

Overall, a better choice than the McDonald’s down the road — I mean that in the best way possible
I have been a few times, and I was not impressed the last time I went in. I needed to kill some time before an appointment near downtown, so I stopped in for lunch with the roommate. First, I was not impressed with the service at all. I know it was a little before a lunch rush would hit, but I still feel like the guy taking my order should not be texting as I am trying to order.
Next I ordered the full size roast beef po’boy (maybe I should stop doing that). When it came out, I noticed I was holding a plate with two po’boys on it. (One of the ladies working there explained that they just do two regular sized sandwiches instead of one big one (weird but nothing that really detracted from the experience). My main complaint, and I suppose it is a big one, is that my po’boy had entirely too much mayonnaise on it. I know I don’t really like mayo, and I just kind of assumed that a sandwich does not need mayo and gravy, but that was just waaaaaaaay too much mayonnaise for a sandwich.
I enjoyed my fried okra (but I will enjoy almost any fried okra). I am sure I will be back, but I will also be sure to order the half po’boy and tell them to leave the mayonnaise off.

This is definitely a greasy spoon diner. We stopped there when I wanted ice cream and Andrew wanted a burger and what appeared before us was the Frostop. «This looks cool» we said. After all, it does have a giant root beer right out front and looks all 1950’s.
And it wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t good either. It reminded me of food at small town fairs or amusement parks. The prices were okay I suppose, a burger and fries with two malts for $ 10. There were pretty big chunks of malt powder in my malt which I didn’t really like. So probably won’t stop back again.
