Welcome to Ruston! Austin and I are thrilled to have you celebrate with us in the place we call home. We have curated a list of our favorite local restaurants and shops if you are looking to explore during your stay.

If you are craving a taste of traditional Louisiana style food, we highly recommend visiting Ponchatoula's. The locals refer to it as "Ponch", and it is the perfect spot for lunch or dinner. No reservations necessary!

Known for their turkey melts, fried green beans, and live music, The Sundown Tavern is an excellent option for lunch, dinner, or a late-night cocktail!

Bayou Axe Ruston is such a fun place to visit if you are looking for an activity for the whole family! Axe throwing lanes, arcade games, and dart boards paired with their kid friendly menu makes for the perfect outing.

If you are looking to kick off your weekend with a cocktail Trio's Dining needs to be your first stop!

Ladies don't worry we have saved the best for last! These three local boutiques are a must shop while you are here!
