If you haven’t noticed from our Instagram feed, we at Eat.Love.BR., love a good burger! We decided to create our own list of the Best Burgers in Baton Rouge. It was a grueling task, but we pushed through and made the necessary sacrifices to our waistlines so you could know where to get the best of the best! Enjoy!#10 Mason’s Grill with the Cajun Shrimp Burger! Mason’s Grill is a family owned and operated restaurant that has been serving amazing food since 1998.
