The hostess was friendly and seated us right away. The waitress Lori had great customer service. The food was delicious! We had the cheese curd as an appetizer and it was more than enough for 3 of us. I had the shrimp tacos and they were tasty!

Loved this place! Dylan was our server, and he was excellent. The food and drinks were tasty. I am especially fond of the fish tacos and the broccoli/cauliflower app. Will definitely be back.

Himathy.. that was our server Cooper.
Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. Not much else you can ask for from a small locally owned restaurant. Highly recommend this to anyone. 1st time coming and certainly not the last.

Enjoyed lunch with 2 other guest. Had the chicken club sandwich with brussell sprouts. Chicken was very juicy and sprouts were delicious with a bit of char. Other guest enjoyed their shrimp salad and burger and fries. Service: Server was excellent and exceeded expectations . Overall good place for a nice meal in Baton Rouge.
Parking: is under the overpass as the name states and may be a bit confusing when you pull in, is an open lot style so park as needed under the bridge pillars. Handicap spots are close to the building and they do have ramp access.
Outside seating is available but we chose to eat indoors.

We walked in and were blown away by the atmosphere. It was lovely inside. Our server was prompt and attentive and friendly. Good drinks. Cheese curds were very, very good. The main brunch dishes were all subpar with the exception of the kale caesar salad, which was very good and a good serving size for a side. The honey butter chicken biscuit was flavorless: the chicken was dry and had zero flavor, and the biscuit was underbaked and mushy. It needs more ingredients to make it saucy and full of flavor and texture. Shrimp and grits were swimming in sauce that was too strong of a vinegar flavor and the grits were very hard. The breakfast burrito was inedible due to the fatty chunks of bacon and the carmelized onions – they were sickly sweet like marmalade but also smelled really bad like sauerkraut – nothing resembling onions. The standard breakfast plate was fine, but again the grits were rock hard so weren’t eaten. The hashbrowns were boring and flavorless. It was very disappointing because the atmosphere was so amazing. The bar area would be great to return to for a drink and cheesecurds, but we wouldn’t come back for a meal.

So very impressed by this place! I am always weary when restaurants claim to be farm to table places. All of this food was so delicious and FRESH! Even my picky eater loved it. Highly recommend the cauliflower & broccoli. When ordered to go the next day (working here from out of town) and it was STILL delicious. Drum tacos have amazing flavors. Burgers are divine. Chicken club delicious! Grouper sandwich on point! Will definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you for a surprisingly great experience.

The food was OK with a menu that isn’t full of random stuff. Pretty straight at the point.
We ordered the burgers and the cheese curds.
The cheese curds were mid, but the burger was tasty.
The only thing I didn’t like about the place was that the tables are too close to each other. We heard everything that people next to us were taking about.
Also the parking is limited. You have to park under the bridge or something.
But it’s still a decent spot close to campus so there’s that.

UPDATE No. 2… really trying to like this place, but no luck. Went back today (8/10/25) for brunch and my order was hardly edible. Had the biscuits & gravy… biscuits were hard/tough, very little (if any) sausage in the gravy and the eggs were crispy and rubbery. Absolutely horrible.
Sorry guys… Cool place / Horrible Food.
UPDATE… went back to give “The Burger” a second chance. All I can say is “Nothing to see here”! Nothing has changed… our server was nice, but gone when you needed her, took longer than usual to get our food and then it wasn’t cooked right. We ordered 2 burgers, 1 medium rare and one medium… they both came out very “Well Done!”
I would have sent it back, but couldn’t find our server. We shared our situation, regarding our food, with our server when we asked for the check. She replied that they were training the cook and he wasn’t “quite getting it”!
Well, that’s 2 strikes for the Overpass Merchant… really trying to like this place, but they are making it very hard.
Nice little gastropub with outside seating. Inside is loud and crowded with a small bar area. Service is very good and the food was good. Went specifically to try “The Burger”… a blend of Chuck, Brisket and Short ribs. It was good, not great. I was a little suspect when I saw they owned “Curbside” (one of the worst burgers I had recently).
Good cocktails. Nice place to go for snacks and drinks on the patio.

My husband, family friends, and I stopped in at this place while heading to NOLA/Taylor Swift concert. What an awesome place! If you are looking for a very cute spot with great food this is the place! I ordered a burger it was so delicious! Our server was very nice and easy going! I would totally go back to this place if I am in the area! The bathroom had awesome wall art!

My friends and I sat on the patio, which worked out great for us (a party of 5). Our servers were great! They were friendly and attentive. The appetizers were amazing! The Tempura Fried Green Beans and Brussel Sprouts are a must!! The drinks were delicious! I didn’t particularly care for the Chicken Pasta. It was bland in taste. However, our overall experience was fantastic!
