Our History

Our Take on the Delicatessen Tradition

When you think of the classic delicatessen, you probably imagine a bustling counter in New York City. But what if you could get the same authentic deli experience with a dash of serious Southern charm in downtown Baton Rouge? That was our inspiration when we opened Milford’s on Third, located in the Watermark hotel.

We brought the New York deli to Baton Rouge and gave the classic deli flavors a Southern twist.

Satisfy your cravings with a classic bagel and schmear, try a warm deli handheld or get a cup of homemade ice cream. Milford’s on Third has all your favorite deli delicacies waiting for you.
