Rainy afternoon BBQ run turned into one of the best meals we've had in a long time…read more We swung by to grab food and somehow ended up with a full spread and enough to share with the neighbors. Honestly, every single thing we tried hit. The ribs were dialed in just right. Not falling apart, but that perfect bite where they pull clean off the bone. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing on the pit. Pulled pork was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. But the real standout for me was the burnt pork ends. Absolute game changer. Crispy, caramelized, smoky... slamalamadingdong. I could've eaten a whole tray of those. Brisket was legit. Moist, rich, and packed with that deep smoke flavor you're always hoping for. No dryness at all, and the fat was rendered perfectly. Loved that. Sausage was good, just not my personal favorite. I'm a Louisiana sausage guy so I'm a tough critic there, but it definitely wasn't bad. Sides and extras were on point too. Pickles, onions, mac and cheese, sauce... everything complemented the meat without getting in the way. But those mustard greens? I'd go back just for a tub of that. So good. Slamming. Something about grabbing great BBQ in the rain just made the whole experience even better. If you're anywhere near this place, don't overthink it. Order more than you think you need. You'll be glad you did. We'll definitely be back.

I definitely would go all the time if I wanted to eat BBQ. They make it great and also tasty. They also give you a good amount. We tried basically one of everything. The avocado egg/ armadillo egg was good. All of the meats were great and juicy. I highly recommend coming here if you want good bbq for a good price in the Baton Rouge area.

I wasn't a fan of the yams, too much cinnamon for me personally, however the other sides were great. The service was okay. They were very busy and only had one server on the floor. She was extremely overwhelmed which was not her fault. She was even making drinks behind the bar. They needed more staff. The ambiance was okay, there was no music playing. Just quiet. Overall I'd eat here again, just probably ordering Togo

TLDR: Decent BBQ and good service in a eclectic decor…read more Nothing to complain about. They have jerk chicken on the menu and, being a huge Caribbean foodie and skeptic, I asked to sample the sauce. It was NOT Caribbean jerk flavor at all. Instead, we opted for the chicken combo platter and the brisket tacos... Brisket. Tacos. Did I mention I am a skeptic? The brisket taco came with brisket and cheese on a soft tortilla. The brisket was decently seasoned and the portions were adequate. It was served with chips and salsa which, on top of being really salty, had competing flavor profiles for me so I didn't eat them. The bang for the buck goes to the chicken combo platter that had two leg quarters +2 sides. The chicken was large, well cooked, smoky and tender. Flavor was not as pronounced as I prefer but it was good. Overall, the experience was good.

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.

They have been featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive In's, and Dives" and have the pictures with Guy Fieri prominently displayed to prove it. The interior is eclectic, which is comforting. While BBQ is the main emphasis here, there are a number of other things on the menu. One of these that's really popular is the seafood stuffed potatoes. These are gigantic baked potatoes that come with shrimp or catfish, with our without crawfish étouffée. Seafood is a definite option here, and one can have it on Friday or any other day. But let's discuss the BBQ. They have smoked turkey that's never dry, and this is great in a sandwich or plate. The smoked wings are another favorite of mine. Then there is the smoked meatloaf, which is great in po-boy form. The ribs and brisket are also very worthy options. I think a two meat plate is a good way to enjoy the BBQ as it allows variety in tasting! Then one has to be pleased by the wide selection of sides. Variety is always great, especially when it includes uncommonly great options like fried green beans, red beans and rice, and Cajun Dirty Rice. One can always get coleslaw and beans if you are a fan of the classics. They even have desserts, if one has any room left for them. I rarely do...

I stopped in for lunch and ordered the blackened redfish with corn maque choux and a green salad,…read moreand honestly...this dish alone is enough to make me come back. The redfish was flaky, fresh, and beautifully seasoned with a proper blackened crust. It was absolutely drenched in a rich lemon butter sauce that tied everything together perfectly. The corn maque choux was creamy, flavorful, and comforting without overpowering the fish. Even the salad tasted fresh and balanced the richness of the entrée well. The restaurant was PACKED when I arrived around noon on a Tuesday, which I later learned was likely because they were serving birria tacos that day. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of crowded restaurants, but honestly, the amount of traffic speaks for itself. People clearly come here because the food is worth it. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and the restaurant itself was clean... floors, tables, everything looked well maintained despite how busy it was. Service was excellent. My server was attentive without hovering, efficient without making me feel rushed, and my food came out surprisingly fast considering how busy the restaurant was. Drinks were handled well too ...bottled sodas available, and free refills on tea and lemonade. Next time, I'd probably come a little earlier in the day to avoid the lunch rush, but I would absolutely order this meal again.

Also, when we told her we were splitting the burger she made sure it was done for us and served on two plates. Excellent service from an obvious professional. We love both City Pork locations however, there is something about the ambiance of the Jefferson location. It is both quaint and not pretentious so you can feel comfortable in everything from workout clothes to date night apparel.
