Great steak house and service. Server was amazing. I cannot recall her name, but was pleasant, knew the menu, beer, was able to make suggestions snd describe what the different items are. As are almost all restaurants in Halifax, it's incredibly clean. The east coast ambience was there, the stone walls, beams, rustic furnishings. I loved it and it was very comfortable. Dinner in an historic building was a treat. The only problem was the steak was overcooked a lot. But not really a problem because the manger rectified it immediately. I felt like a VIP. It was as really good steak, don't know if they have a different supplier from other BR restaurants in the chain, but it was really good. I know it's a chain that is everywhere, but it was good, read more

Service was great. Ribeye was a fraud A lot of tendon in the "Ribeye" that I ordered. Even the meat part was tough. I had better chuck steak for $14. read more

The restaurant is at a great location, and very warm and inviting to enter. Our service was very prompt, although I'll admit it was a very snowy quiet night. The seafood linguine was especially tasty, very lightly tossed, the shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly (in this type of dish, its so easy to over cook them), seasoned well and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The other dish we had was the shortrib seafood pappardelle. It was good, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the pappardelle had not been sauteed in the sauce, but would have rather been tossed with the prepared sauce. The sauce was rich and delicious, the shrimp and scallops cooked nicely, but the pappardelle just seemed a little sticky and heavy. I usually really like pappardelle, and sauce was tasty, so I didn't dock the score at all, but tender al dente pappardelle, shouldn't have been quite as sticky. read more

I love it when there in person but when it comes to Urber they miss in detail- the Mac n cheese I so wanted to try lacked the panko crumbs and Monterey they promised - the rest was good but when your ordering out or not pay attention to the little details please people are still paying- the man n cheese was ok but not all that considering- read more

I had the Grilled Mediterranean Branzini which was recommended by Lindsay. WIW so delicious, served with Parmesan wine risotto and micro greens. A really nice light white fish seasoned perfectly to match the risotto. My husband had the prime rib dip with poutine and he said it was absolutely delicious also. Not sure how this place only has 3.2 stars, but I'm giving it five. The service of all of the staff and the food the presentation everything was worth five. Oh man, Carrot Cake for dessert, very good not too sweet, no coconut! Cream cheese frosting was NOT too sweet! No picture are it too fast! read more

Calm premium ambiance and decor, New York chic. Service was good, not great for an upscale restaurant. Didn't bring out any silver wear or plates until after the entrée came out. Sides and spinach dip appetizer were good, not much to write home about. Steaks were very enjoyable and well seasoned. Crème brûlée F***ED! Made up for underwhelming service. read more

We visited this restaurant to celebrate birthdays. When we made the reservation we advised one person was in a wheelchair and we had a 2 year old baby. After starting our meal our friend in wheel chair went to bathroom only to find out that access was restricted by a "broken" elevator. Upon inquiry we found out that the elevator had been down for 3 months and they couldn't find someone to fix it (don't believe that!). Had we been told this we would not have booked this restaurant. The food was good and the girl serving us was great. Ribs a bit to much sauce for my liking. Creme Brule excellent. If your disabled DO NOT GO HERE unless they confirm that HRM acceesabilty laws for restaurants are in place. read more

SKIP Baton Rouge. Extremely disappointing, and almost fraudulent. I ordered the spinach dip, steak and lobster, and a double smashed potato skillet. The spinach dip was okay. The meal arrived and the lobster was raw; the double smashed potato skillet was simply hash-browns with cheese put on top. When called over the manager was embarrassed but offered no explanation. The price for this meal would have been over $120. Outrageous. I don't usually post reviews, but I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for a meal. The price was high. The quality of food was inexplicably poor. And based on the reaction from the people at the next table - not unusual. read more

Admittedly, I only finally came to Baton Rogue after a lack of success on other nearby patios on a Friday evening. It's in a cool old building, but I'm never in a rush for the codified mediocrity that tends to be chain restaurants. All the steaks are in the same price range, mid-$20s to mid-$30s, so I went with the 12oz New York striploin, medium rare. It comes with seasonal veggies, and I got sweet potato fries with it for my side. The patio was mostly full and I'm not sure how busy the inside was, but it took a little bit for the food to arrive, but it wasn't surprising given the crowd and cooking steak takes time. The veggies turned out to be grilled broccoli, cauliflower and bell peppers. Certainly nothing fancy, but they were colourful and decreased some of the guilt of eating an immense hunk of steak and fries. Said fries were your typical, from-frozen sweet potato fries, but they were pretty crispy and well seasoned, so they were fine. The main event was on par with the rest of the meal - not bad, but not impressive. The medium rare was definitely more of a medium, and it would have benefited from being cooked at a higher temperature to get some light charring for a better hot-off-the-grill flavour. It was still moist and tender, and the pepper on it wasn't over the top. Service was friendly and checked in frequently. I might come back if in need of a patio or if they have some drink specials on, but there's a lot of better ways to spend $30+ on a main course in Halifax. read more

The food was very good. Had the garlic bread to start. The ribeye was good and seasoned very well. The mashed potatoes were good but could have been better without the chunks so big, then would have soaked up some of the cheese oil from the broiling. A little pricey so that's why only 4 stars. The bartender was nice. read more

Great location downtown Halifax, near waterfront, casino, historic properties. The service was really good in all aspects. The downside for me was the food. My husband was happier than I was so I will share his review as well. Starter was cheese dip, I couldn't eat it, it has very little flavor and chips were also bland. Hubby said was OK. Lobster ravioli...pasta was cooked perfectly but the lobster filling was very mushy and could barely taste the lobster. Hubby's prime rib was cooked perfectly at med rare and was delicious! The mushrooms were amazing and the sweet potato fries were the best we've ever had! Scallops (3) bought as a side dish were slightly overcooked. Overall 3 stars because the price point is too high for the quality. Safest bet is to always order the steak and stay away from pasta here. read more

ABSOLUTELY loved this place, I don't really eat out because everytime I do something goes wrong with my food but this time was just perfect other than the waiter taking a bit to long to get back to us about dessert menu we asked for over 10 minutes ago and then after lookiNg over she took a really long time coming back again so we could order dessert. She was a lovely server I really enjoyed her checking in on us everyone now and then!! Was positive attitude the whole way through. Myself and my partner got 1 spinach dip best dip I've had came freshhhhh 1 ribs and chicken that was okay 1 devil burger found the meat dry but was filling. 1 sweet potato fries and for dessert peanut butter fudge brownie cheesecake I wasn't a big fan but my hubby was would definitely come back another time, seating was nice area was quiet and private go check them. Our server Lauren was great. read more

Four of us went to Baton Rouge last night for supper. I've been many times in Toronto and Montreal but my friends hadn't been to one. Three of us had prime rib. I ordered mine medium well ... and it was well. It was okay but not awesome. The other two ordered theirs medium rare and it was medium. Plus it was a funny colour (like it had been microwaved to heat it up). The fourth one of us ordered a veggie pasta dish and she said she liked it. It took a while for our drinks to arrive. I'd ordered a gin and 7up and got a cooler. I drink it because I like coolers plus I didn't want to have to wait for another drink. The bathrooms were a couple levels down so we used the handicap bathroom on our level. It was nasty! One of the servers heard us talking about it and cleaned it up. He said it was then like a spa ... um no. Spas don't have pee on the floor in front of the toilet. The building is really cool, though. It's in an old building and it's great to see the exposed brick and wood read more

Don't know why it took us so long to try this place. Maybe because we tend to steer away from franchise and chain restaurants. We forget that successful franchises are successful for a reason. We've been looking for a place to get a consistently good steak at a reasonable price, somewhere between greasy spoon and mortgage the house. I think we might have found it. I had the 10 oz ribs with fries and cinnamon apples. B had the ribeye with fries and mixed veg. We both started with the add on caesar salad. The caesar salad was okay. It was simple; romaine, croutons, parmesan and an egg free dressing. To be honest, it lacked great flavor, couldn't detect any garlic, the only flavour that really came through was the dijon. Once our mains arrived, all was forgiven. We were both happy with our meal. Both arrived hot, done to specifications and full of flavor. I really liked the cinnamon apples, something a little different. and kind of substituted for a dessert for which we had no room. Our server Nathaniel was great. He came through with good suggestions, was engaging and attentive at all the right times. We'll be back. read more

Bâton Rouge Steakhouse & Bar - 10 oz ribs. Just the right size and great flavour. - Steakhouses Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

My mother and I both really enjoyed our meals when we ate here together. My mother had ribs and I had steak, and we shared a bottle of wine. The food was excellent, the wine was very good (and the bartender was very quick to fill our glasses which was nice) and the service was great. The fries were realllllly good, crispy and spiced. Weird to talk about the fries but they were really good. The meal was a typical steak meal with grilled veggies on the side but I liked that they gave me zucchini (my fave) and the mushrooms I added were very good but hey I love mushrooms. My steak was a touch overcooked (more of a medium than a medium rare) but it was still so tasty I had devoured it pretty quickly nonetheless and I can enjoy steak anywhere from a rare to a medium anyway so I'm not the type who would EVER complain ha I just eat it and enjoy it anyway! It was very similar to a meal I had at the Keg, but I'd say I liked my meal at Baton Rouge better than the Keg, and it was slightly cheaper. I'd recommend this place ! read more

Bâton Rouge Steakhouse & Bar - Delicious steak meal and some of the yummiest fries of all time - Steakhouses Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Went here for my first time and my boyfriend's second time. The occasion was for my birthday and I was excited to try a new steakhouse. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes were steaming hot! (Which I like). I got the Oscar which is part of their feature menu, I had a steak, lobster, and my sides everything was good. However, the menu listed it came with a top sirloin and my waitress offered me that or a filet Mignon. Of course I'm going to go with a better cut steak. The only thing that I had an issue with was she never told me any pricing or the difference between keeping the sirloin or having a huge upgrade to a Mignon. The top sirloin is listed at 8oz with the meal 39 With filet Mignon it's 7oz with the meal at 49 I don't care about the price but it's a curiosity to inform the customer what their paying for, incase it does effect their food choice. Other than that I am likely to return to this location. read more

Ribs ribs ribs ribs ribs. "Fall off the bone" goodness. Baton Rouge may be a little pricey but they have specials that draw my cheap ass in. Every Friday ribs and fries are the lunch special for $10 and it's been the same price for over 3 years. My wallet likes this. The fries are shoestring but they taste like they are home made. Sometimes they are a little overcooked but most of the time they are perfect. Those ribs though... Omg they are so good. After going to Ribfest for years (including in Ontario where it's more common) I wonder how Baton Rouge is able to top most of those vendors... but they do. We won't talk about their beer other than to say they need to bring in more local craft beer options... As opposed to crappy ones that taste like corporate beer garbage. I'd give them 5 stars if it weren't for their lack of good beer selections. read more

Definely one of my most recommended restaurants when people ask for a nice place to have a great sit down meal. Food is always amazing... Love the Big Devil Burger is to die for. Staff like most restaurants in Halifax is hit and miss, although my last two visits were handled by a lovely lady who you could tell she loves her job and really understands "Good Customer Service". read more

Probably one of the best deals in town if your paying for parking in downtown Halifax. We went for the $10 lunch on Saturday which consists of a grill cheese sandwich and soup. It's hard to mess up a grill cheese sandwich, which was fine, but the soup was pretty bland, just some boiled vegetables in a watery broth. luckily the soup changes every week, so your experience may be different. I also had a Caesar, which again was fine but I wouldn't go out of my way for drinks there. What's fantastic about this deal is they provide free parking at Purdy's wharf in downtown Halifax which you can stay at for the entire day. Where else can you get free parking and a decent meal for $10! In the end I'd say the food was average, with the soup being below average, I'd give it 2 stars, but the fact there's free parking is GREAT value which ups this to a 3 star review. If your paying for parking in the downtown area I'd suggest you get a decent meal and have your parking payed for! They provide free parking at Purdy's wharf, all you have to do is ask your server for a parking slip!Remember to keep your original parking slip as you will need them both to exit. You can take the pedway from the parking garage to the Marriott hotel and just walk across the street to Baton Rouge. This is offered every day of the week if your eating there! read more

I've experienced Baton Rouge in other cities, so I was looking forward to seeing what the Halifax version was like. Normally, I don't opt for chain-style restaurants - high- or low-end - but I had the opportunity to dine with some coworkers at this newish location here at home. First off, the location is beautiful. The patio is lovely, and although it's a bit rowdy with the traffic at some intervals, I love it. The exterior of the building is amazing and I think it's a great use of the space. Additionally, the interior is also fantastic. It looks impeccable and I love the darkness of it. The food was just ... fine. I had a seared ahi tuna salad while many around me sampled the burgers, ribs and other dishes that had a side of fries, which, for the record, smelled amazing. I was a teensy bit jealous at both the sight and smell. My salad was large - all the portions seem voluminous - but bland. I was disappointed that the cabbage-style greens with dressing did not have more flavour. Service was ... interesting. I think that serving a group is defintely much more tasking than serving small tables, but I felt that our server was not well matched to our table. Shouting and interruptions seemed to be his chosen method of communication, along with comments like "hey Red Sweater, what you ordering?". The style did not seem to match the location's desired image at all. Overall, I probably would not choose this place again; like I said, I like the local restos best, but if someone else wanted to dine there, I'd make sure I ordered a plate of fries. read more

Got the opportunity to check this spot out for lunch with some co-workers. Full disclosure, we were a walk-in of 12 people, however.... We pretty much had the place to ourselves. The service was..... How do I put this... An acquired taste? Big tables are never easy to serve, I get that, however this guy was just.. rude. His preferred method of communication was to shout at our table and auction off our food/drinks rather than keep track of who had what. The food itself? It was decent. Neither mind blowing or terrible, it just was. I had the seared ahi tuna salad and while the tuna was nicely cooked, I ended up with a fatty chunk that wasn't the most pleasant of textures that ended up being largely uneaten. The greens were akin to a bag salad mix (lettuce, shredded carrot, purple and green cabbage). The dressing was ok, but again nothing to really rave about. The interior was beautiful and the patio was very nice, albeit loud but that was due to traffic. Will I go back? Meh. I'm not in a hurry..... read more

Hubby and I have been here several times now. We overlook the fact that it's a chain and just enjoy the service and food. This is the only restaurant in the city that serves a mandatory salad that I actually like (you know, those soup-or-salad-with-entree deals whether you want one or not. I wish every restaurant would do away with it); their house salad comes with bacon, boiled egg and the tangiest Italian dressing I've ever had. As someone who is anti-salad, it's actually very good. Hubby has had their seafood chowder and enjoyed it very much. We always get the sirloin steak and really wish they would expand their steak options. While it's certainly not Ryan Duffy's, it's very good steak for the price. I agree with another Yelper who mentioned presentation is lacking; you get your steak, your choice of side ... and that's it. Other places at least toss a few veggies on your plate, but not here. It makes your entree look small and lonely. However, the taste makes up for the presentation, and their peppercorn sauce is awwwwesome. Service is always great, decor is lovely, the only other thing I DON'T care for are their Sysco-type desserts. I don't believe any of their desserts are made in-house, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. The red velvet cake is bland and as I'm not a fan of apple crumble-type things or cheesecake, that really leaves me with ... nothing. I always order a dish of their French vanilla ice cream with some chocolate sauce (not on the menu). At least it's "real" French vanilla and not Sobeys brand white vanilla. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys steak but can't afford $100+ for two people. read more

Driving by the construction of Bâton Rouge everyday stirred a curiosity within that certainly provoked a curious desire to try this "New to Halifax" franchise that seems to be loved by friends and family in other cities. After a discussing Bâton Rouge with colleagues and friends collectively, the majority agreed this location had a great propensity to be a slam dunk watering hole for Halifax's suited and booted draining from the pedways at 5 O'clock. Upon arrival the atmosphere seemed to lie somewhere between a mid/upper scale restaurant with historic property charm and yet there was a box-type franchise vibe as well (which it is). The service was hospitable and 5/5 in my opinion. Our server was vibrant, well spoken, served beverages quickly and topped off my fountain drink consistently with no delay. My party of 3 began with southern style spicy battered calamari which was delivered quickly, relatively low sodium and quite nice. *This dish is not found on the website menu* Now, if you're wondering: why the two stars?? One of my guests steak was far from med-rare, however, was perfectly rare which would have been fine for myself but my guest was quite discouraged. Personally I chose the rib chicken tender combo. The battered chicken was hot and tasty but my ribs were in no way "fall-off-the-bone", in fact, they were sitting on the line far too long and should have never left the line. The sauce was good!? *Again this selection does not exist on the website menu.* The shoestring fries were very long and looked fantastic but they were cooked in oil that was either too cool (far below the 356F) or they were left to long and steamed themselves limp - I have cooked my fair share of fries and shoestring should have a crisp to them. They do have the potential! My third guest had no real complaints about flavor but the chicken was quite cold and ate away finishing her meal by the time the steak was brought back med/rare. The manager was very accommodating and provided a new set of hot ribs and another chicken breast for my waiting guest. While were were very grateful we were a little pressed for time by this point and had to pack it to go. I did sample the ribs and they were better but they still didn't resonate with me. I still think Bâton Rouge Halifax Downtown can be a great place with time and practice. I feel it opened so quickly after the construction workers were finished and question if more dry runs would have produced better results. On a side note the windows were strategically ordered with a high STC sound transfer coefficient and I could barely hear a 53' trailer rumble down Hollis....I was very impressed with lack of street noise but not sure of how easy a conversation could be conducted on the patio. While it wasn't what I expected, I will remain patient and understanding that with time the kitchen will catch up with the level of management and serving staff. Stay tuned.....as I will give it one more chance. read more

My friends from Montreal have always raved about the food at Baton Rouge so I had been looking forward to trying it out ever since the sign went up during construction. My first experience was during a lunch with my colleagues and I was pretty disappointed with the overall experience. The atmosphere and the service were both spot on. Our server was able to accommodate us and we didn't experience any real time delays that can come with dining with a large group. The food however was a little bit of a disappointment for me. I decided to have the Ahi Tuna Sandwich from the lunch menu, which came with a $17 price tag. At first glance, the tuna was cooked well and the mango salsa on the sandwich was delicious. Unfortunately this was served on a hamburger bun with shredded iceberg lettuce. I couldn't help but feel a little let down when I thought about what this sandwich could be. Feedback from around the table was mixed. Everyone seemed to enjoy the ribs and fries but others complained about the lack of food in each serving. One thing I do enjoy is the side dish options. I had the choice of either fries, baked beans, coleslaw, or apples and cinnamon. The baked beans were quite yummy.. I will definitely be trying the restaurant again. I do believe that it takes some adjustment to get everything together and think that they will hit their stride. The location, atmosphere, and service are all up to the standards that I would expect. I just need to see a little bit more from the menu. read more

My project team and I decided to go here for lunch today before many of us departed on Christmas vacation. When the reservation was made, the person making the reservation mentioned that one of our group had special dietary needs and asked if they carried halal meat and was told that they would see about getting some in for the day. When we arrived and began to order, we asked our very pleasant server about the halal meat and she said she would go check with the chef. Next thing we knew, the chef (also an owner of the restaurant) came out to meet my colleague and asked how she would like her chicken cooked and, if she was in agreement, he would make her a special dish. The dish that arrived was hands down the best looking dish on the table (and we all loved what we ordered). My colleague said that this was the first time in 5 years in Halifax that she had eaten chicken outside of her house - she was incredibly happy with her meal and said her husband would also be very pleased to know that this was possible. We had a wonderful time and all enjoyed great food but this special care and treatment was the absolute best part. For anyone looking to dine here that would be interested in having halal chicken, I would recommend contacting the restaurant and seeing if this can be arranged and making a reservation. Thank you for making our Christmas lunch memorable, Baton Rouge Halifax! read more

This was probably the worst service I have ever experienced. Our waiter took our orders (assuring me that if my filet was too rare they could rectify that). Once our food was served we were put on what I can only describe as 'ignore'. My filet was the toughest I've ever had. I couldn't cut it; let alone eat it. We waited and we waited, watching our server go to other tables; go outside to serve the patio, etc. I finally got up to find him & to explain that my filet was not good. His reply was that 'he didn't really care...since he just punched in the numbers..he didn't cook it'! Oh..and his excuse when I mentioned that the service was lacking...they do team service. Not sure where the team was. This is the first (and hopefully) the last time that I have left no tip & have nothing good to say about the establishment. read more

Came on a Saturday evening, December 1st. The restaurant was packed, the bar was booked for a private event and the rest of the restaurant, with the exception of a few tables, was full with Christmas parties. The staff at the door let us know, and said the wait would be about 15 min. It ended up taking a bit longer then that, but Shannon and the other staff kept us in the loop the whole time. When we were seated we ordered drinks, they came quickly, and the waitress took our orders and made a few suggestions for appetizer options. We started with the spinach dip and each ended up ordering clubhouse sandwiches with a side of beans. The appetizer came out, delivered by one of the owners and chefs who introduced himself, apologized for the wait, and thanked us a few times for staying. The hand made chips where amazing and paired great with the salsa and spinach dip. It was a great start. My wife commented that it was one of the best spinach dips she's had, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but don't have much to compare to. Sandwiches arrived just as we finished the appetizer. The club here is on a toasted slice of bread with a chicken breast and a slice of ham. It was excellent. The beans were thick enough you can (and I did) eat them with a fork and leave nothing behind. They were full of BBQ flavor and cooked perfectly. No hard under-cooked or really overcooked beans in the lot. I come here for the beans and then pick a main around that.. they are that good. read more

Checked out Baton Rouge for the first time last night with two of my gal pals. It was a gorgeous evening, so we had the opportunity to sit outside on their fantastic patio. The service was fine -nothing exceptional, but not terrible. One friend had the Lobster Salad and said it was delicious. It looked as much, stacked with fruit, veggies and a mound of lobster. The other ordered the Linguini Primavera, which turned out to be penne noodles? She enjoyed it though. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad, cooked rare. The tuna itself was fantastic, but came out on the plate with what looked like a side of greens...not really the entree salad I was anticipating. It also did not have the chives, tomatoes or toasted sesame seeds that were described in the menu. The lime and ginger dressing was good though. All in all, I enjoyed the atmosphere and will likely return to try the ribs or steak. read more

Party of 3. The men in the party would give it 5 stars I'm sure for food and value. I give it a 3: I did like the place and the food and would come back, especially for a special or if I had a coupon. I give only a 3 as I didn't like our table - service was weird - not sure if it was good or bad. They addressed you and didn't at the same time. Talk to you but don't look at you - I've never experienced this before. But it wasn't Bad service- weird is how I describe it. I had made reservations through Open Table and it wasn't busy - I expected a better table than what we were given. My dad wanted us moved but I just told him let's just stay - it wasn't that big a deal (near the restroom - not the best spot, eh?). Also, this was a birthday dinner so I was hoping to get a song or dessert and I mentioned it on the OpenTable request - maybe that's an issue eight that app because at another dinner at another location, I mentioned food allergies and they didn't seem to know anything about it when we got there. So back to Baton Rouge- I ordered the appy that many yelpers gave thumbs up, the spinach dip, it wasn't what I expected and it was different, not bad but nothing to rave about. Since it was half off with they Yelp check in deal, it was a good deal - I did like the nacho chips it came with. We all got rib dinners: two rib specials for $19 with the fries and beans - two thumbs up. The chicken and rib combo also got a two thumbs up. Big portions which I like as I take my leftovers home and it would have been two more meals for me (I ended up giving it to the meat lover who devoured it the next day). So... Yes, I'll be back and I'll be getting the same dish. No to the spinach dip though. We have to also dock a half star for not having IPA available - already out on a Wednesday at 7pm? Awww, how'd that happen? If you like ribs give this place a try. read more

Apparently this place is 'the' place for ribs. Unfortunately I don't agree. :( Walking in, I love the decor of the place - there's just something about it that's comforting. We got there and were quickly seated by the hostess who was super pleasant. Our waitress was incredibly nice and personable as well - I love service like that. Went there for lunch - got the lunch combo: - Broccoli soup - Ribs with sweet potato fries Everything that I ate was so-so - but their menu looked so good I want to come back and try a bunch of things on the menu. But I was pretty disappointed by the ribs - everyone that mentioned Baton to me said that the ribs were the greatest thing ever - maybe my expectations were too high. I personally like the ribs at Montanna's better, I know that's crazy.... read more

Tonight was our fourth visit to Baton Rogue in the last couple of years and we've had nothing but great experiences! Atmosphere is great - upscale but casual, and both food and service are fantastic. We've sampled many things of the menu including steak, ribs, chicken, crab cakes, burgers, salads, drinks and sides and have always been delighted with our meals. Definitely recommend the pink sangria - not as sweet as most, which I enjoy. If you've never tried Baton Rogue Halifax, I'd suggest ignoring the negative reviews and giving it a chance! read more

Last night myself and 2 girlfriends were looking for a relaxed kids free evening. We were seated fairly quickly and had prompt service. We ordered the cheddar dip which 3 of us enjoyed. I ended up with the ribs and chicken breast for my entree with sweet potato fries. The ribs were delicious and cooked exactly how I like them. No grisly fat!!! The fries were good and loved the chipotle dip was nice. I ended up taking my chicken breast and most fries home. So full!! One girl had the roasted vegetable sandwich, she thought it was super yummy but to big for her. (More leftovers, yay!!!) The other girl had the jewels of the sea platter. She said she would not get it again as it was cold. The potato soup was good after she asked to have it hearted up again!! The waiter was good and very attentive. My only complaint would be that when we booked we said we were looking for a relaxing evening, we were seated on the second level right by the bathroom and waiter station. I wanted to hang out longer but there was to much commotion for me. All in all I will be back again! The atmosphere was great!!! read more

Service abysmal, Food average. Arrived to an empty hostess station. After several minutes someone rushed by and said they would return shortly. Was seemed in an unused part of the restaraunt. Again a wait for a server to take drink orders. We were left 20 minutes with out appetizer with no return of the server to order our entre Entre was delivered by what seemed to be the manager.......subsequently flagged her down to get the cheque. Dinner was over 2 hrs. Nothing was wrong with the food......but combined with the service. ....A disappointing evening.1 read more

Located in a gorgeous historic building downtown Halifax, I found Baton Rouge great during lunch, dinner and my personal favourite, cocktails and appetizers. I love the atmosphere in the bar. Their cocktail menu is unique and fresh. Best spinach dip in the city. Mmm.. cheesy goodness. I've visited this restaurant several times. The service is overall great with well presented staff that seem eager so accommodate all guests. I think it's a great spot to eat with family, friends, and coworkers. Can't wait to go for my birthday! read more

We came to Baton Rouge as we were thinking STEAK and we wanted to be in downtown Halifax. Although it's not as local or the usual family restaurant I would usually choose, I have to say I was impressed with the quality of the food and wine on offer. We took the sirloin and got to add cheese toppings or not and choose our side from a range of carbs on offer. We were also able to add a starter for $4 each! Our greediness took over and we said yes to the soup of the day - which tasted and looked homemade. The wine list included local NS wines. Then there was dessert, which were value for money and they tasted good - white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake and the super sweet peanut butter cheesecake. Our server was lovely and attentive, and was not pushy or fake. We would recommend a no fuss steak dinner here for a romantic meal or as a group! read more

I was so excited when I heard there was a location here! It was a monthly ritual for me in Toronto. The interior is beautiful as usual and the smell of ribs as you walk in is delightful. The menu is fantastic And the same as the chain,yay! The service at this location does offer a little more to be desired. Waiting 25 mins for our drinks is ridiculous at lunch time, regardless of how busy they may be. The waitstaff and management have an air of incompetence and offered no solution for ruining my birthday lunch. Hopefully they will compare to the Vaughan ON location one day, but for now that seems very far away. read more

Went for "lunch with the girls". Was "underwhelmed" by the lunch offerings. Sandwich plates are OVERPRICED. My friends ordered salads and said they were yummy but if you add protein up goes the price almost double. The portion was big but again for the price they should be. We ordered ice water which should have been served with a lemon slice at least if they're trying to be "upscale". I looked around at what others ordered. I saw ribs served with what looked like Macains frozen shoe string fries with nothing else on the plate not even coleslaw or a slice of tomato. Bowls of soup served in a small plain white bowl. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. There are no extras... no garnishes... Presentation was NIL. To end this place is ORDINARY with high prices for everything. The wine menu looked extensive if that's what you like. I wouldnt go back. There's no signature dish or anything that looks exciting. As a previous person said. There are other upscale steak houses like Ryan Duffy's who have their signature Ceasar salad made at your table and different Chef offerings that just are more appealing. The decor was nice. The staff was attentive. Parking in that area is nil. read more
