Southern Pearl Oyster House, a go-to spot for oysters and gumbo on Perkins Road, has closed for good after six years. The sign on the door and a voicemail both thanked the Baton Rouge community for their support, but offered no details about the sudden closure. For many locals, this was more than just a restaurant—it was a place for family dinners, date nights, and celebrations. What do you think this means for the Baton Rouge food scene? Have you noticed more local favorites shutting down lately? #Food #BatonRougeEats #LocalBusiness
