"S. Claiborne’s old-school greasy spoon opened in 1955, and today still retains kitschy icon status thanks in part to its huge root beer float-shaped sign. The menu features a slew of breakfast options, po’ boys, and lunch plate specials Monday through Friday, like red beans and rice on Monday, white beans with a choice of fried or grilled chicken, pork chop, or smoked sausage on Thursday, and crawfish etouffee with fried catfish on Friday. Still, the classic lunch order is a famous Lot-O Burger and a root beer float — Frostop brews its own root beer." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
