Relaxing at the River Grille in Monroe, Louisiana

After the Grambling game, I drove back to Monroe to have dinner at the River Grille with my homeboy Vitus Shell, who is a graphic designer and hip-hop promoter in Monroe. The River Grille is a relatively new restaurant, located in north Monroe near the junction of Bayou Desiard with the Oauchita River. It’s a fairly small place, with a neighborhood bar-and-grill feel, but it features great food and a beautiful view of the water.

Warehouse No. 1 Restaurant, Monroe LA

I decided to eat dinner Friday night at the Warehouse Number 1 Restaurant in Monroe, Louisiana, which is built on the levee directly beside the Ouachita River. I hadn’t eaten there in nearly ten years, but it’s still good.
