I would say as of today, 7-16-2026, this is easily a top 2 BBQ place in Baton Rouge. If you told me…read moreit was the best I wouldn't argue with you. Thus far I have tried the brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, armadillo egg and potato salad. My first two visits the pulled pork and brisket were hot, tender and moist. The potato salad is good but not great in my opinion. I like that you get pickles and pickled onions with your orders. The BBQ sauce is pretty good. The first time I visited they had an asian inspired BBQ sauce which was really good. Their prices are on par or maybe even a little bit more reasonable than other BBQ spots. Plus, it's always easier to pay the price for BBQ when it's actually good and you feel like you got what you paid for.

In a city not known for its BBQ, this place stands out and can compete with the best of them. I've…read morehad the brisket, the sausage and the burnt ends, and they are incredible every time. Service is great, prices are very reasonable for BBQ, and the food is always delicious. And their Asian BBQ sauce is incredible. It's a walk up and order, seat yourself at picnic table style restaurant. Great spot for lunch any day of the week but not necessarily a nighttime vibe if you ask me. Either way, the food here is very tasty, and I plan to be back very soon.

Got the three meat with ribs, chicken, and sausage. Ribs fell off the bone. Chicken was nice and juicy. Sausage had a good kick to it and was very flavorful. The baked beans were delicious. Mac and cheese - it was solid - I might suggest adding a bit of pepper to them, but still tasty as is.

Make this a DEFINITE STOP. This IS a DESTINATION! Their bbq will satisfy your every need. They should be in every major city including NOLA. We had 3 meat w/ ribs, brisket, & sausage. The meats were the most tender & moist. Bbq/baked beans & collard greens were perfectly seasoned. Somebody's grandma or uncle back there smoking this meat & making the sides. You can taste the heritage recipes and love that went into the cooking. Take the time & come try this place. The only disappointment will be your stomach isn't big enough. This is a foodie dream come true.

We were greeted warmly by the ladies at the counter and they patiently waited for us to make our selections. I ordered the brisket platter with smoked Gouda Mac and cheese and braised mustard greens. My brother ordered the shrimp and catfish platter with a double order of fried okra. I don't know if it was the time of day or what, but my brisket was dry and tough. I had to use the different sauces to even get it down. The Mac and cheese was very overcooked and the pasta just mushed out. The greens were pretty good, although a little sweeter than I prefer. On the other hand, my brother really enjoyed his fish, shrimp and okra. My experience could have been a fluke.

My main dish was their smoked chicken plate which I topped with their sweet BBQ sauce. My only complaint is the chicken wasn't super warm but it was flavorful and seasoned very well.

I'm not in Baton Rouge often but I highly recommend to anyone who is!

The atmosphere was…read morebeautiful, warm, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax after a long day at the ballpark. We started with the smoked queso and lump crab cakes, and both were outstanding. The crab cakes were packed with crab, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the blackened redfish with the white wine lemon butter sauce, loaded mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Every single bite was incredible! The redfish was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich without being too heavy, and I literally cleaned my plate, which almost never happens! We also tried the Catfish Acadian, and it was another fantastic Louisiana dish full of flavor. To top it all off, we finished with the famous carrot cake... and WOW! Huge slice, incredibly moist, and easily big enough to share. BRQ delivered on every level: amazing food, generous portions, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. If you're visiting Baton Rouge or you're a local looking for an incredible meal, put BRQ at the top of your list. We'll definitely be back!

Spinach and artichoke dip,house made chips and pickles, turkey and fig sandwich and lastly, the Chicken Mamou. Everything was so good. Now, on to the customer service. Even if the food was bad, I think I'd go back just for Cassie's immaculate customer service. She was very welcoming and knew the menu very well. I love a waitress who's able to recommend items from the menu and she didn't give one bad suggestion. I love her personality just as much as I loved the food. Will most certainly be back in the NEAR future and would recommend this restaurant to new patrons.

If you get the chance, don't miss their Restaurant Week menu. They always go above and beyond, and this year was no exception. The quail, stuffed with boudin and served over red beans, was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. It was one of the standout dishes I've had in quite a while. If you're in Baton Rouge and can't decide where to eat, City Pork on Jefferson is a place you can count on. Great food, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere keep me coming back.
