Presentation is a big thing and they did it just right on top of the awesome food they are throwing out the window. There are two benches for outside dining if you wish but it's not covered so keep that in mind. You'll want to eat this before you get home it's that good.

The process from ordering our food to receiving it was quick and seamless. The service was welcoming and friendly. I had the solo nachos, which were enough to share as an appetizer. I also had the BBQ baked potato with brisket, along with a side of mac & cheese and baked beans. I enjoyed everything I had. This is somewhere I would recommend and would return to.

Wow! Unbelievable food and efficient, friendly service…read more The portion sizes are very generous. Our young daughter ate all of her ribs. That's how we know the food is tasty. We loved the ambiance of the place. It felt like a barbecue joint.

Apparently Big Jake's is under new ownership, so we decided to check it out today for lunch…read more Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed. I had the 3-meat plate, and for $19.99 I thought the portions were kinda small, to be honest. The sausage definitely wasn't house-made; it tasted like Hillshire Farm sausage to tell the truth. The pulled pork and brisket were OK. Strangely my brisket was moist and juicy but my wife's was dry. The sides were extremely disappointing - the potato salad and coleslaw were obviously Sysco or similar. The mac and cheese was pretty solid, beans were mediocre. Their sauce wasn't very good either, tasted like generic commercialized sauce. On a positive note, they did have Barq's Red Creme soda as a fountain option. I heard some folks talking about the pork chops on Thursday that are supposedly really good so maybe I'll come back to they them sometime.

It was absolutely delicious. We didn't get to try the quarter chicken cause they were out of it but they gave us extra ribs for a substitute so I wasn't mad at it. The brisket was juicy and tender, the ribs were perfectly cooked with a beautiful bark, and the sausage was incredibly flavorful. The turkey was slightly dry, but everything else was exceptional. Overall, we had a wonderful meal and would definitely recommend Smoke Bayou! Can't wait to go for wing night on Wednesday sometime 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.

Husband went three meats - pulled pork, brisket and sausage. All 3 meats had great flavor - not too smokey. Multiple sauce choices. Dug into his fried okra and smoked Gouda mac. Perfect. I ordered a veggie tray of Cajun slaw, corn pudding, mustard greens and toast. Good Lord it was good! Cajun slaw not too spicy, not too "mayonnaisy." Sweet tea was just right. Very friendly service, comfortable atmosphere and reasonable pricing. Would totally go back!

BRQ was hands down one of the best meals we had during our trip to Baton Rouge! 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.

I was also told that it'd be 20 to 25 minutes, but it ended up being much closer to 40. Ordinarily that would bother me, but luckily on that day I had nothing else to do and everything was piping hot so I really couldn't complain. I do wish there was an easier way to find the menu online, I had to ask what all they had over the phone. For two plates my order came out to $38, and each plate comes with three sides and corn bread. I'd eat here again.
