The place was popping with energy when I walked in! Ordered to go and the food was fantastic!

What an incredible meal! Definitely adding to our weekly rotation. Quick service, great selection on the menu, and great atmosphere. Even caught myself singing along to the music while I was eating my Mac n cheese! The owner stopped us on the way out to ask us how our meal was and said he's got a lot of good stuff coming soon so we will certainly be back! read more

Aww man, I wish I had the pictures to show you guys, but I was too hungry by the time I got it and tore right into it. First off let me just say that the customer service is excellent. I ended up having some car trouble after I ordered and that extended my pick up time to a little over an hour and when I did pick it up, it was still hot. I had the two meat plate that I ordered ribs, mac & cheese, and the elote. Man when I tell you, the ribs were so flavorful and seasoned to perfection. They were also tender I mean just the right amount. The mac & cheese was creamy and good. The elote I thought was going to be spicy, but I'm glad it wasn't and it was good as well. Now, aside from the ribs the second star of the show were the birria tacos. I tell you, I have never tasted a birria taco that good before in all of my years of living. I would definitely say the ribs and Birria tacos would certainly be my go to the next time I visit as well. read more

For the love of southern potatoes at a southern BBQ joint- REMOVE THE CUCUMBERS from the "Creole Potatoes". It was a jump scare. I would rather bite into a thousand onions. On a positive note, the pulled pork was good and the staff were very friendly. read more

We came in around 4pm. We order beef rib and 2 meat, 2 side. Best beef rib in town. It's ver Juicy and flavorful. Will come back soon. read more

Salt Pepper Oak - Beef rib - Barbeque Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The food was delicious!!!! The brisket is amazing! None like this!! Try it you won't stop talking about the food and this place!!!!

My husband grabbed some things to-go just to try it out and we will definitely go back for more. Best burnt ends I've had locally! And the cheesecake is beyond amazing!!! read more

I would eat this every day if I could. The turkey is the best I've ever had, and the sides are amazing! The corn elote is sooo good! And the cheesy gouda grits... the first and only grits I've ever enjoyed in my life. They are not to be missed. Every side is delicious. The cheesecake, wow! Save room or take a slice to go. Take some cookies, too! The service is always friendly, and the ambiance is very nice, it's a comfortable place. read more

Everything was great! The server was awesome with information about the dishes and the dessert was delicious

We just ate at Salt Pepper Oak last weekend again. Not only the BBQ is amazing, but we got to try the new dishes that were not there in May (wings, Cheesecakes...etc..) and they were to die for. Love the food, the staff and the owner! read more

I ordered food to go and was shocked that for 17$ I only received 2 small slices of brisket! The food did taste really good but that's ridiculous. read more

Baton Rouge finally has a legit BBQ joint. SPO is great, their Brisket is as good and in some cases better than any I have had in TX. Looking forward to trying their other meats. read more

The food was excellent. Service was even better. Highly recommended grabbing a dessert after your meal!

Been looking for BBQ that brought us back to Texas and this place does it!! Post oak smokers out back cranking out some serious brisket and pork belly. Our first time there but not our last! They offer brisket lean, fatty (we'd call it moist) or a combo of both. Mac n cheese was very cheesy! I tried the chimichurri rice-tasty- and the hubs had boraccha beans, a miss from my perspective but I am spoiled from Texas Mexican food. Great crowd at lunch today. read more

Baton Rouge has a BBQ joint! Best brisket in town, as good as any and better thN some I've had in Texas. I would love to see the smokers producing this Que. Great job guys read more

Maybe the best bar b que I've had in years.. loaded nachos, brisket, burnt ends all first rate. I smoke meat 3 to 4 times a week. Usually I go to barbecue joints and think mine is better. Every dish was better than mine. The program cheese cake was also unbelievable. read more

This place started out as a 5. Even though they couldn't and still are incapable of getting the plates and sides correct. I work for a large company almost next door. Ok. Next door. We often come in as a guest of vendors or we bring customers with us. A couple of days ago we came as guests a four top. Usually we are upwards of 8 or ten people. When the msn brought our food out it was comical how jumbled up everybody's plates were. Some people had ordered 1 meat and received 2 and neither one was the meat they ordered. Eventually everybody just agreed to eat what hey we're given. After everybody got something there was one small dish. Left Like a side order of Mac and cheese size dish. I told him I had an order of 1/2 pound of mixed brisket. He handed or tried to hand me this little dish with 2 slices of brisket The slices were each about the size an index finger I asked him that's a half pound? He guessed do. I refused to accept it from him. I didn't see our waitress so I asked him if there was anyone in the building that knew. He was in a huff but he said he would have them weigh it. Sure enough he came back in a little while with the same dish only now it had two more slices of very fatty brisket on top. I ate it and resolved to never agree to eat there again. From now on when a vendor asks if we'd like to go to salt pepper oak I'm going to tell them we'd prefer BRQ. This shows how tenuous a relationship with a customer can be. I like your food meats. I think they are good. Sides I think the consensus in our office building is Meh. The inability to get the orders right puts you in shaky ground. Having a guy whose people skills are Nil bring the orders out is a horrible misjudgment on the Restaurants behalf. I'll probably be back at some point but it won't be for a long long time. read more

I got a to go order 1 meat 2 sides. The meat was brisket the sides were potatoes and slaw with both barbecue sauces. I had more barbecue sauce than I had slaw which was very dry. The potatoes were ok at best and a very small amount maybe more than the amount of barbecue sauce. The brisket was maybe average dry and a small amount. I will try SPO again in a month or two. I hope this was just a one off. read more

Pros: ribs are good and macaroni. Cons: Cornbread is dry, coleslaw is dry as well with light sauce. The biggest turn off for me was the demeanor of the owner. One of his employees couldn't find the number 29 to deliver the food to the guest and his first rude comment was, he's as lost as a puppy". The second rude comment was something on the lines of someone please go help him find the table because he's walking around in circles looking loss. I'm all for correcting workers but the tone and manner used by the OWNER was more condescending and disheartening. The workers had such a Nervous, tense and uncomfortable look on their face, because that is not how you treat any human. If i had not paid for my meal, i would have walked out. I wish them the best but he really needs to be mindful of how he treats his workers. I asked who he was and was shocked that it was the Owner and not a manager. I won't be returning. read more

Really wanted to like it. There are no other BBQ places in this part of town, and based on reviews we had high hopes. Service was good. Music was much too loud. There were maybe 5-6 tables of customers. I saw 7 employees out front. We ordered sandwiches. The young man taking orders offered to switch out fries for another side. I declined, but my husband wanted to do that & asked if there was an upcharge (which there was). That should be mentioned up front, as the extra money may be important to some people. They didn't have soft drinks; just tea & some blue sports drink. About a quarter of the "meat" on my sandwich was fat - a significant blob of fat. The sauce was okay, but not outstanding. Coleslaw was dry & flavorless. The fries, however, were outstanding!! Now, they are charging the same prices as another BBQ place in town which offers a choice of their sides for no upcharge, free housemade chips & housemade pickles, and multiple flavors of sauce. That seems to me as if the folks at Oak are overcharging a bit. We'll try them again in the fall to see if they've improved. Wish them well, but... read more
