Teddy's Juke Joint

Oh Man.. was this a cute lil joint! We were coming back from a long vacation in NOLA and flying out of of Baton Rouge, and wanted to have one last hurrah! Before leaving, so we were looking for places to go and found this little hole in the wall.

We met the guy who the place is named after, he is an amazing artist and musician. I  really loved this place and wish it was here in Oregon!! It was someones birthday too, and everyone was so damn friendly! I ordered three  of the chicken wings since they said they were out of Turkey wings and OMG! Can you say BIG! Soo good!

DH got the dirty rice or the red beans and rice..looked good. Too bad I wasted the food because I left it in the fridge- but couldn't take it with. There is normally a cover charge here but there wasn't one on a Monday evening the house band was playing and were amazing!  I would love to go back here and see some great acts.. but .. live here in Oregon.. where I enjoy home.. but if you have the time.. go here and experience some real southern music!

uhhhh, why have I never been to this place before!?* When driving up to this place we were a little wary because it is kinda set back in a field at the end of drive way. When the heavy air of the Louisiana summer is thick this place looks like it could be the next set of Dusk till' Dawn....but INSIDE is loud, rowdy and full of crap hanging from the ceiling, typical LA. On some nights Teddy is situated behind a temple-shrine-type thing, decked out with x-mas lights, police lights, and god know what else, Teddy rocks with his fantastic selection of song and scandalous ad-libbing.

No question...this is the real deal for the music lover. Forget the higher than average covers. What's $10-$20 when you are talking names like Lee, Neal, Gardner,  Richard,  Killerbee,  Cooper,  Turner, and on and on and on. These guys aren't there for the money.  Trust me. The Joint is uniquely authentic....and Teddy...you cant beat Teddy.  Like my best friend Steve Parker says..."Teddy just likes being Teddy."....and he's good at it.  And eat there. Get the chicken wings w potatoe salad, or chicken tenders w red beans n rice. So if you are in for a major dose of culture, trust me, you will not regret.  Easy 5 stars.  Check the calandar at his site.
