Louisiana State University
“As a student with tree nut and sesame allergies, I always have felt safe when eating on Louisiana State University’s campus. As a freshman eating at the dining halls, I appreciate LSU’s allergy-free section of the dining hall serving fresh food free of all 14 allergens. It’s a separate part of the dining hall that’s completely safe! Additionally, both of their dining halls are nut-free, so I felt comfortable and safe eating just about everything, even the desserts.
For those allergic to other allergens, LSU allows students to directly contact the chef at both dining halls to build their own safe plate of food free from their allergen! Some other students have celiac disease, gluten, or dairy allergies, and they can directly communicate this to the chefs.
Outside of the dining halls, LSU offers a variety of food options around campus—Panera Bread, Smoothie King, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and more. All of the third-party eateries are very accommodating when you communicate about your allergies, which I really appreciate.
LSU has been a wonderful place to excel academically and professionally while staying safe when eating around campus. I’m grateful to LSU Dining for providing safe services for those with allergies!”

“Hidden gem in Perkins!! Under the overpass, it’s easy to miss, but it’s amazing! Amazing charcuterie boards and shareables for a big group!! They also have really filling, warm dishes that are perfect for winter. I’ve been a few times, and they’re always so accommodating with tree nut allergies. It’s a must-try when in Baton Rouge!”

“Delicious food near LSU’s campus, and they have the best staff. Very little, if any, nuts on the menu, so it’s a perfect and safe place for amazing Louisiana food! Staff is super friendly and very safe about allergies—they make sure you know what is safe to order. Definitely recommend for a cool vibe and good food!”

“Amazing food and great vibes for Southern Louisiana food! Good for big groups, and very good about allergies. The staff told me everything I can and can’t eat, and they put specific directions to the kitchen when making the food! Will definitely be back!”
