OK, let me preface this by saying: this is not gourmet, but it was great by small town cafe…read morestandards. Don't judge a book by its cover. :) Was in Lacombe, LA to have a little "work" done (see Malinski Dermatology review). Wanted to eat beforehand, and not much was open nearby on a Monday. Looked up the menu on Yelp and decided no place that serves fried okra can be bad. Well-lit, open and low noise level. Plenty of easy parking. Not very busy (did I mention it is Monday in a town of less than 9K people?) and did not have to wait before placing order at counter. Was tempted by banana pudding and wedding cake slices in dessert case but went for food instead. Ordered sloppy joe with fries ($8.50) and a doz wings - 6 Pop's sauce (no idea what I was ordering) and 6 spicy peach BBQ (75 cents/wing special) - with Pepsi Zero over ice. Sat at a one-sided booth near window. All items were brought to the table. Sloppy Joe was HUGE with light cheese and a tangy sauce that reminded me of the elementary school version I haven't been able to recreate, with hints of mustard and catsup. Ample fries with light seasoning salt. Wings were brought in same basket in separate foil sheets (I loved this!). Pop's sauce turns out to be hot sauce (Frank's?) with black pepper and garlic Parm. Very tasty combination. Spicy peach BBQ also had the under workings of a hot sauce, just enough peach and vague notes of BBQ. Needless to say, I had leftovers. But a to go box was graciously offered (before I asked) and everyone was very nice. The only "boo": they were out of collards. Guess I'll have to return.

I noticed a Rustic Industrial table at the front window and asked the staff what it was for.

The table was donated by renowned local artist & woodwright Auggie, who is famous for these tables. He brands the finished product with his logo.

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!

Welp, food and service was so good I forgot to take pix. Nice cozy place we ran upon and boy am I…read moreglad. All of the food items that I am about to mention were 5 star. 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.

So I hope I'm reviewing the right place but here goes. I had Secret Lair Gastropub at Corporate…read moreBrew and Draft the other night. I was trying to decide between getting a vegetarian plate from Albasha or the Island Nachos (which are loaded with pork) from Secret Lair. You can probably guess which one I chose... I decided Secret Lair mostly because I really like the name Secret Lair - kudos to the person that named this place, and I was far from disappointed. The Island Nachos are not cheap but they are delicious. It basically consists of a massive pile a chips interspersed between layers of queso (I think), black beans, cilantro, pulled pork, and a Jamaican-jerk-tasting barbecue sauce - which I'm going to assume is why they're called Island Nachos. One of the best things about these nachos is that at no point did I end up with a pile of dry chips. The nachos are so throughly dressed with the barbecue sauce, queso, and black beans that every bite of chip also includes a healthy serving of everything else. Try them out if you get the chance, and I don't think you'll regret it!
