    We stopped by for drinks after brunch on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away. Service was great and the drinks came out quickly. They were strong, flavorful, and well made. I had the raspberry margarita and the frozé, both of which were really good. We also ordered a few appetizers, and everything was tasty. This was my first visit, but definitely won't be my last. A great spot for drinks, bites, or catching a game.

    This has become a somewhat fav double date night spot for us. The drinks are always pretty good. Service is kinda spotty. I know it can be busy but our last server was lacking Spin dip 8/10 Egg rolls without sauce 6/10 Egg rolls WITH sauce 9/10 Grilled cheese& tomato soup 8.6/10 Bbq pulled pork sandwich I'd just skip. Not memorable Boudin balls were a skip for me also

    If there wasn't a clear example of how much this stretch along Government has changed over the years, just take a look at Mid City Beer Garden. The Mid City neighborhood has erupted a destination of quality restaurants and bars, which MCBG ranking among the largest and most popular drinking spots in the city. The bar has been well-designed, offering a contemporary feel with plenty of greenery, numerous screens, and seating options throughout. I'm not a fan of the bathrooms with the industrial sinks that could double as urinals but that's neither here nor there. The open roof provides a lot of lighting during the daytime, but can closed (#1) for bad weather. There is no beer hall without beer, and MCGB has plenty of it. The line of taps is impressive and they have lots canned beer options as well that range from IPA to sours. The right bartender can make a mean cocktail and their selection of signature cocktails range from $10-14. I've enjoyed the empress 75 ($14) and satsuma margarita ($13) the most, but there's a lot more to choose from. I would also recommend any of their frozen cocktails ($12-18 depending on size) for hot weather months. The frosé is classic, while sweet tooths will love the frozen king cake and the lemon ice box pie daiquiri. Every first Thursdays of the month will features a lineup of $8 martinis. While I've never look at this as a food destination, there's a lot here. It's a known fact that the former chef at the legendary Chelsea's (#2) has influenced the menu a bit, which is why their grilled cheese & soup ($13) remain one of their most popular items. Their BBQ pork sandwich ($16) and classic burger ($14) are safe options for classic bar fare lovers, while their shrimp po'boy ($17) is my preferred sandwich. There's also some sort of an addicting quality with their french fries. Their bar bites include typical things like chips, egg rolls, and spinach dip, but I would recommend their boudin balls ($12) and smoked tuna dip for a tastier option. Their soups have been popular with folks, especially the tomato basil with focaccia and the gumbo. They also have nightly food specials such as $1.50 Taco Tuesday and a $8 burger + fries night on Wednesdays. The weekend brunch is their most popular option to date and they've done well with solid options and fairly good presentation. Some folks are all about the avocado toast ($13) and breakfast burritos ($13), I'm somewhat lukewarm to both. I would prefer their loaded hash browns (#3 - $13), hangover biscuit ($15), and their boudin benedict ($16). The latter dish might be one of the priciest, but it's easily the most savory thing on the menu. More things to consider: :: The door is a checking point at all times. Always bring a government ID. :: No kids are allowed. Sorry parents. :: Beware of LSU or major sports evenings. It's almost a guarantee the place will be packed. Ventilation can be nan issue if that's the case. :: Parking lot is directly behind the business but there is also a gravel lot along Steele Blvd that can accommodate a lot of vehicles MCBG is ultimately a place of gathering. Whether it's for sports, food, or the occasional drink, always make sure to bring good company and the rest will take care of itself. ____________ (#1) There was a time a few years ago when malfunctioned and the center dining area became a waterfall. (#2) Chelsea's Cafe: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chelseas-cafe-baton-rouge (#3) Could it possibly be due to the fame of Louie's (https://www.yelp.com/biz/louies-cafe-baton-rouge-2) that cubed breakfast potatoes are referred to as "chunky hashbrowns" in these parts? I still don't understand this. My photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mid-city-beer-garden-baton-rouge?userid=ysCBsXWPB-LAiewVS3jZfQ

    Loaded cheese fries with BBQ pulled pork

    These fries are the best fries you could ever imagine. Make sure to get extra ranch and extra gravy for the table. Trust me!!

    Mid City Beer Garden 3808 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA 70806 I am honestly surprised that I never knew Baton Rouge had a beer garden! If you are looking for splendid drinks, yummy food, and one hell of a good time in a laid-back environment, then look no further! @midcitybeergarden_br has it! I plan to come here more often now. Items ordered: 1. TOMATO BASIL SOUP WITH FOCACCIA TOAST cup $5.99 bowl $10.99. A delicious blend of tomatoes, basil, and a kick of jalapeno for a bit of spice. (Added bacon for extra) 2. CLASSIC BURGER $13.99. 8 oz seasoned ground beef patty. Dressed with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Served with fries. Ask your server about adding cheddar, bacon, beer onion. 3. PRETZEL TWIST $7.99 soft, buttery, salty, served with house-made beer queso and coarse ground mustard seeds. 4. Chef Special Lemon-Berry cheesecake. 5. Jucifer IPA - New England 6.

    Gumbo with grilled cheese
    Shawn V.

    The place is amazing inside with walls that open up and it feels like a big open patio! Huge beer selection with a full bar and a great place to eat/drink. The food was pretty dang good too! I got a bowl of gumbo which was amazing but their grilled cheese was not good at all (way too much bread and way too little cheese). Their bread pudding was fantastic but their cinnamon/sugar pretzel was not good (not enough glaze nor enough cinn/sugar).

    Chicken Club Wrap
    Abbey S.

    Mid City Beer Garden is always a favorite of mine! The food is amazing and so are the cocktails. I'm not a beer drinker so I always get the cocktails and they never disappoint! They have a great selection of drinks and food on their menu! I love trying something new every time I go! The service is always quick and the servers are very friendly too. I also appreciate that it's 21+ and that the vibes are very laid back, so no one gets too crazy. This is a great place to come on a Friday night! They play good music and it's never too loud so it's easy to chat with the people you're with! I will always recommend Mid City Beer Garden for people to try!

    The avocado toast with poached eggs
    Renee A.

    We've been to MCBG for brunch and weren't that impressed. They have really stepped up their brunch with food variety and quality and many more drinks. Was so much better today! ! The avocado toast was noteworthy! The bread was a little sweet which helped balance everything else on the toast-the avocado had a citrusy note, the radishes, and pico all balanced it for a flavorful burst then I added a poached egg. Muah! Loved it! The hash browns were under cooked so hard potatoes. Those still need work. The boudin Benedict was ok. Needs a kick up in flavor. The cheesy smoked grits were delightful. Loved the smoke.

    Boudin balls
    Ashlyn Y.

    Mid City Eating Mid city Beer Garden is a great place to visit when in BR! They have an open patio concept in the middle but exudes chill ambiance. We had about a 10 minute wait to be seated. Our apps came out quickly! But there was probably a good hour before we got two wraps and cheese fries so that was slightly disappointing. We started out with the southwest eggrolls and boudin balls. Highly recommend the eggrolls! Delicious! The boudin balls were good but slightly overcooked. Each wrap came served with fries - what would have elevated the dish slightly if the fries were fried in duck fat and served with an aioli sauce. The drinks were great and while we didn't try any of the craft beer, this place is always outstanding on friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the restaurant, food tastes good. We will be back!

    Brunch French Toast Sticks
    Taliyah J.

    The food was ok, I enjoyed my breakfast burrito and grits. My server did great as well. The food took awhile to come out. Someone at my table ordered spinach and artichoke dip and it came out cold, not warm, cold. My French toast sticks were hard like, crunchy. My server took them off after noticing they were so hard I didn't even attempt to eat. I would like to try again since the service and ambiance were great. The rain had started right before we arrived so the host was busy but he made sure to communicate which I appreciated.

    One of my favorites places to go in Baton Rouge! The ambiance is amazing... you feel like you are in an actual garden. The place is very open but has some parts inside. I love the fireplaces and tvs throughout! I normally always get beer when I come here, but this time it was freezing so I decided on the spiked hot Apple Cider. You can put any liquor in it, but I went with the waitresses recommendation of rum. It was so good! I had never had spiked apple cider, and I really enjoyed it! And yes, it was actually hot so it kept me warm throughout the night. The food here is also always amazing. My favorite is the soft pretzel with cheese and mustard for dipping sauce. The pretzel is also very warm and the dipping sauces go great with it. I could eat this all day long. The service is always top notch! I love it here and always a top choice when thinking where to go!

    Maxwell's Market - Chicken Caesar wrap and sweet potato fries (sadly NOT good from this location, will only order from Perkins location from now on)

    girls, if you're getting a chicken Caesar wrap, go to the Perkins location. Please. I've had a…read moresuper good one from the one on Perkins, and I thought this would be the same. Instead, the lettuce was literally COOKED like steaming hot and there was melty mozzarella cheese inside, which is odd because Caesar salads don't typically include mozzarella - just Parmesan. The tortilla didn't taste fresh, and i think they just took the whole wrap and pressed it flat in a panini press. The heat made the lettuce completely wilted, and this was the most disappointing chicken Caesar wrap I've ever experienced. There was also not enough chicken or fillings inside like overall it was a very small wrap for the price. The quality of their shredded chicken is great, but everything else was extremely subpar. After receiving mine with the mozzarella (lactose intolerant), I even decided to bite the bullet and order a second one (so I paid for two) and this time specified no cheese at all, and extra chicken. The second one STILL had cheese, and the same amount of chicken. The sweet potato fries were fine, and the build your own sandwich my boyfriend got was good. just don't do the wrap from here yall. Go to the Perkins location.

    Food was delish! My husband said those were the best sweet potato fries he's ever had. We'll be…read moreback! Service was great. It was our first time, so staff were really helpful. It was busy, but we didn't wait too long for the food.

Our results were all similar; we all agreed that JM was the best of the bunch. My wife and I liked Inga's more than Cheba Hut, while I preferred Cheba. However, when the final scores were tallied, Inga's came in 2nd. I wouldn't say it's a bad sandwich by any means, but I wouldn't say it's great, either. The steak imo wasn't nearly as spectacular as I'd been led to believe. Personally I'd rate it 3 stars, but since my wife and son enjoyed it more than I did I'll give it 4.

I ordered one of my favorites, the grilled chicken breast on white bread (fully dressed) and it was just as amazing as I remember it. I will say, they went up on their prices but it's definitely worth the price. I always get the giant size because I'll either split it with someone or save the other half for lunch the next day. So it's pretty much two meals (unless you're super super hungry and want to eat the whole sandwich in one sitting like I did yesterday:)). They are always super quick too! I called in my order to pick it up and it only took 10 minutes. Also, the woman who is always working is super nice as well! I'll definitely continue to be a regular at this place, one of my favorite spots in Baton Rouge!
