P T’s Eat-A-Bite

When I was growing up here this place was called Pippen’s. And actually I think some of us still call it that. But PT’s is still the best lil’ diner around. Décor and interior is classic diner-​style, no frills. It’s right on the square across from the courthouse and it’s old-​school at its finest. They are known for classic meat and three type meals but my favorite here has always been the cheeseburgers and fries. Ground beef is nice and fresh and you know it’s gonna be good when they pull that beef from between two pieces of wax paper and smash it on the grill. Buns are soft and fresh, hot off the grill. You can get large or x-​large burgers. Large is plenty big enough. You can get the fries regular or Cajun-​style seasoning. Both are styles delish, piping hot and not too salty. You won’t be disappointed with the cheeseburgers!

Cute little diner in rural northern Louisiana. I sat at the bar and was served quickly. The BLT was made with freshly fried bacon so it was extra tasty! This is a great place for lunch with a cute hometown America feeling.

Old style diner. Good burgers n plate lunches. They take all cards too. I will stop there again for lunch next time I’m the area.

I waited 55 minutes for pancakes, eggs, sausage, and oil-​soaked hash browns. I watched the clock. There were babies screaming behind me the whole time. In that time, our coffee got refilled once. They have two regular sized coffee pots (not restaurant size) so when one is being divided up, the other one is brewing. Obviously with a full restaurant of people who have been waiting an hour for food, that means a long wait for coffee. We really should have left when, at 10am, this all day breakfast café was out of grits. In the end, the food was just okay and not better than McDonald’s.
The worst part in all of this is that there was never an apology or explanation for the wait! My dad once said that he likes eating inside this place because growing up, Black people could only be served through the window. I say eating here is not a victory and I could have cooked him breakfast AND lunch in the amount of time it took.

PT’s is a very small little diner in Bastrop, La. The food is always good and the service is good also. This place has a good breakfast and a very busy hungry lunch crowd. Parking is very hard to get sometimes. This is a locals hangout for the older Bastrop crowd to come and talk about what Bastrop use to be.

This is a divey little diner right on the courthouse square… got about 5 tables and 6 booths with 4 – 5 stools at the counter…
It’s been years since I stopped in before 4÷29÷13 nothing much has really changed… they run plate lunch specials every day of the week plus a pretty large Sandwich/​Burger offering… just good ol’ down home country cooking!
Today I went with the Open faced cheeseburger and damn it was good… its a patty on each bun with melted cheese and smothered in gravy! Holy Hell I wanted to lick the plate and the seasoned fries on the side were mighty fine…
Our waitress was friendly & on the ball and she suggested my meal and her suggestion was right on!
Stop in and give it a whirl if you find yourself by the courthouse in Bastrop… Oh yeah I’m an idiot for forgetting to take a pic… my bad!

The food here is good. Service is nice but busy. It’s not the most amazing place in the world but it’s something different to try if your tired of the same old places. Booths are small and there isn’t alot of room so you may have to wait a while for a table to clear out. Worth a try!

I’ve been here once, and I have to admit, its a little scary. Reminds me of the cafeteria at an old folks home. The waitresses are very nice, but kind of difficult to understand. The food is simple and okay, but just okay. It doesnt have a particularly cleanly feel about it, and thus, I will not be back.
