LaPlace Frostop Dining Room Thru The Years.....

Building before the dining room was added

The LaPlace Frostop was built in 1958 strictly as a drive-in restaurant with no indoor seating. The dining room was added in 1962. Since the addition, the "patio" as we call it, has changed through the years as the building has been remodeled.

1973

The dining room in 1973 used the actual cinder block walls. The menu boards displayed in our dining room lasted until the mid 1980's. The picture above shows a jukebox as well as a fixture of the past, a cigarette machine.

Early 1980's

By the early 1980's, we had new tables and chairs, but the light fixtures remained the same. Joining the jukebox and cigarette machine was the newest invention Space Invaders!

After the remodeling in 1981

The remodeling in 1981 covered the original cinder block walls with plaster.

2005

The major remodeling in 1996 because of Formosan termites changed the dining room again. The plaster was removed and the cinder block walls were covered in stucco. We actually still use the tables from the early 1980's but the chairs were bought during the remodel of 1996. The lighting was finally changed out to fluorescent.

Since the early 1980's we have decorated our walls with some great local posters including Andouille Fest, Strawberry Fest, Crescent City Classic, and Pontchartrain Beach to name a few.

Our newest addition to the dining room is our LaPlace Frostop corner. It takes the place of what was our video poker area (1994-2008).
