    I stopped at Chicken Wagon after a health screening event before heading back to New Orleans. I couldn't decide what to get so what not try it all? I really like the chicken sandwich, loaded mac and cheese and the coleslaw. Coleslaw is only good to me when it's crunchy and this one was perfect. The location was very clean and the staff members were pleasant. It takes a couple of minutes to get your meal but being that everything was freshly prepared, it's understood.

    Typing this as a I prepare to head back to this spot today. I heard the rave and didn't go with high hopes because I've heard it all before on other spots. I have had many hot chicken spots and there is one in my book (not in BR) that reigns supreme. On my first visit after the first bite, I knew I had my local spot! Yall better help me keep this place going :) The chicken tenders are huge for the price and seasoned perfectly. The chicken sandwich was also huge and yummy. Everything came out piping hot. The fries were ok but I'm not here for that, I'm here for the chicken. The place is clean and they have a drive thru. I got medium heat but about to start going up the levels. Highly recommend!

    Definitely was not disappointed by my first experience at Chicken Wagon after hearing rave reviews about their Nashville style hot chicken. The sandwich is fantastic with a lot of flavor and a nice bit of heat with the medium The fries are crispy and go great in the Wagon Sauce or ketchup. I had to add a side of mac and cheese which was super creamy and extra cheesy and great with a fork and in my sandwich. Nice atmosphere with plenty of space to sit inside. Service is good but no welcome when I walked in just a blank stare until I said hello. But that's neither here nor there. The food is bangin and I strongly recommend going.

    Chicken sandwich and fries. Chicken was HUGE and spicy! Delish. I smushed the bun. Don't blame them. LOL

    I love this place! It's delicious. Hot and fresh, spice choices are awesome! Customer service is impeccable. DRIVE THRU!! Need I say more?

    You will have to wait a bit for your food (didn't bother me any) but it's fresh and hot with a reasonable price and a decent taste. How often do you come across a reasonable price paired with fresh and decent tasting food that also comes from a drive thru? Not often. The honey on the chicken is the real star of the show, I should've asked for a couple more packets of honey! It's so good with the chicken! The sauce isn't canes level good but it's very good. I would go back again for a quick meal most definitely.

    This is a great spot to get lunch. They even have a drive thru! It's very clean and new looking in there. I got the sliders combo 5, medium spice. I didnt think it was spicy, will try hot next time. I really liked how the food comes with honey too, a great touch. The fries are super crunchy, even after driving back to work. I ordered my food online and picked it up, I did have to wait around 10 minutes even after I got there. The service was cool, although I didn't have to interact that much since I ordered online. If you're concerned about calories or protein content, they don't have nutritional information available yet since they just opened in May.

    It is located in a shopping center on Staring Lane. Newer building and very fun look and atmosphere. The service was excellent and every one was very helpful. I ordered the loaded fries in the hot level. The fries and chicken were both cooked perfect for me. Crispy and hot. It has crinkle fries with sliced chicken tenders. They add seasoning, sauce and shredded cheese. To me the hot was never very spicy but i think it is the combination of it being sliced plus the cheese and fries with it. Overall very good. Price was around $13. Pretty much as expected.

    10/10 would always prefer this over canes! the tenders were HUGE and juicy!! I got the spiciest flavor and it definitely delivered a nice kick. The service was quick. wish we could sub out the toast for extra fries without extra cost though. The plan having lots of seating and the restaurant ambiance was causal. drive thru for us is 100% recommended as they were very fast with our order

    Update: I have been back and the food is still good, although I'd like to note and agree with others on the point that it is nothing spectacular that makes it stand out amongst the crowd of other fried chicken places. Don't get me wrong, the food does taste good. It's fresh, crispy, and nice quality, but it's just not anything to RAVE about. I would go back if I'm in the area and had a taste for a chicken sandwich. The new building is still clean and tidy. The service is also still very good.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food was good, ordered Combo 4 which is two chicken sliders. Portion size was fair a it smaller than expected. Flavor of chicken was good, but not spicy enough for the "hot" spice level. Flavor of crinkle cut fries was good too. Got an extra side of the sauce which had good flavor Service is everything with F&B and it was counter service so Just standard service, no wait staff. This place does have similar vibes like Dave's Hot Chicken, which is a colorful fun atmosphere.

    #1 Combo- chicken sandwich- mild  Has: Chicken Breast, Coleslaw, Pickles, Wagon Sauce on a Brioche Bun.

    I've been dying to try this place, and it was worth it, loved this chicken sandwich, it's delicious! I like that you can pick the level of spice you'd like. I got mild and know next time I'd get it a little spicier. The staff was friendly and patience with me as I decided what to pick. Loved the #1 but can't wait to try more things. I loved how much food you get, it's a good sized sandwich! The sauce to dip your fries is where it's at, so good!

    7/21/2024 We ordered in advance. Parking lot is small but did not have an issue parking. Food was ready when we arrived. Inside was clean and organized. Staff was friendly and attentive. Foot was very hot and fresh. The tenders were gigantic!! We ordered different levels of heat. All was tasty. Mac and Cheese was okay. Nothing special. I didn't really care for the sauce. It was a generic tasting out of the bottle type of sauce. Overall good food, good value for amount of food and good service.

They moved into a new location at Jones Creek. The new restaurant is beautiful on the bar side. The other side is a HUGE dining room for large groups and families with children. There is plants of parking but it's still a crowded parking lot.We have tried to go 4 times. We succeeded once on a Thursday at 5:30. The food was excellent. I had a personal vegetarian pizza and hubs had eggplant parm. Prices are very reasonable. I love their food and waitstaff is excellent- the 20 and 30 minute wait times not so much. Even the bar was SRO. It is a testament to their quality that it takes an act of DOG to get seated quickly. (I'm usually hangry when I get off work.I want to getting fed in 20 or 30 minutes, not just be seated and they don't take reservations. That being said, if you don't mind the wait, the food is always fresh, made to order. The quality is consistent and they are now even open limited hours on Sunday which is a nice brunch alternative. I am really happy for their success. It is well deserved. If you aren't in a hurry, you won't be disappointed!

Our server was absolutely horrible last night. We will not be coming back due to how badly the service was handled. Out server on our ticket was JaNet A. I am giving the 2 stars instead of the one solely because i do love my food. if you sit on the left hand side of the restaurant the noise carries and it can get really loud. The place was not packed to set the tone. When we ordered our drinks my dad asked if she had grapefruit juice-depending on the answer was going to depend on what he was going to order. She took a while to come back for an answer- When she delivers my daughters food- she then confirms there is not grapefruit juice. We order eggrolls - She does not deliver them to us. - another server did. There is a hole in the wall when you sit on the left hand side that connects to the bar to what I assume the servers can order drinks. We can see her talking and talking. Mind you it has been 40 minutes since our SALAD had been ordered. We asked another server to go get her. The other server tells our server "hey your table is asking for you" and she raises her finger to the sever telling her "one more minute." Mind you she is not serving the people she is socializing with. We order our salad which is supposed to come before our entree especially since he got a pasta entree. When she comes we state we have been waiting 40 minutes for a salad and her response was "Well I did put your food order in" She then goes to the back and pops out with both the salad and the pasta. My dad states the salad is supposed to come before my meal?? what is happening to which she states that she can just bring the pasta in the back until he's done with the salad or he can just not eat at all. LIKE WHAT??? A manager had to take it off the ticket which is more disappointing that he did not take it upon himself to say I'm sorry or anything. THEN my sandwich and salad comes which makes me wonder why is my sandwich taking longer than a pasta dish. Unfortunately I did not trust for her to take my food in the back to box it herself since there was so much tension so I asked for a box. We got there at 6:30 and stayed until 8:30 to only get one drink - one app and one sandwich with salad. & my daughter got buttered noodles

The fries and pork rinds were fantastic ! The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! I love the idea of eating in the butcher shop!

    Iverstine is a great lunch spot in Baton Rouge…read more I am always on the lookout for new lunch spots. We often hit up the safe few and it's hard to get the team to venture out. I saw Iverstines in a YouTube clip and it looked intriguing. Apparently it's intriguing to lots of people because it was packed when we went. Despite the crowd, the wait was brief and the staff was friendly and keeping people moving. On our first visit we got sandwiches. The Cuban was a great choice. It was everything a Cuban should be. I would've liked more mustard but it was the best Cuban I've had in BR. Next trip we did a plate lunch. At the recommendation of a dude in line, I got the Tri tip. Solid choice. The green beans on the side were very good. In addition to the lunches, Iverstine is a full butcher. I will report back when I try some of their pre packed stuff. PS. They sell a hat with a piece of bacon on it that says Thiccccc. If anyone wants to get me that as a Christmas gift, I promise to change my profile photo to me in that hat.

    This place is awesome. I think it is the best BBQ in Baton Rouge and one of the best in Louisiana…read more The fact that I have let this draft sit for so long is ridiculous. I couldn't wait to be one of the first customers at this location. You see, I read an article that mentioned there was a version of this restaurant in MS near the coast. That was a huge bummer since I spent the majority of time out there and never knew it existed. But, you don't care about me, you want to know about the que! I am a Texas BBQ fanatic. If I could eat brisket every day, I would. The problem is that for many many years, no one in Louisiana understood good Texas style BBQ. That all changed when folks like Nola Smokehouse and later Gonzo's (The current champ) came arond and showed us what we were missing. Salt, Pepper, Oak (SPO) is one of the latest in the modern LA BBQ joints that does the best Texas BBQ a LA boy could hope for. Brisket - This is my primary reason for coming. It is always smoky, flavorful, and oh so briskety. If you have had real deal Texas BBQ, you know what real brisket is like. This is it. It is delicious. Everything else - Thats the thing with SPO. It is so much more than just brisket. When I am feeling a little wild, I get brisket and something else. The excellent something elses include turkey breast, wings, sausage, and those tallow fries. All are as good as the brisket. Trust me when I tell you, this place is legit. The location is in an industrial area but is well laid out, and there is plenty of seating. Pay with a card in the line, make your drink, grab utensils, and grab a seat. They bring your food to you. The whole process is super easy and you will love it. PS. Their mustard based sauce is the best I have ever had. Send me the recipe if anyone has it. Please!

    Wow! What a hidden gem!…read more The breakfast menu has some great choices and I will certainly be back for lunch. Kinda pricey for breakfast, but if you order the Pitmaster or The Morning Fix, you'll probably have enough for lunch, too. Right off the bat, the tomato based creole sauce on the smoked gouda grits is a serious competitor for star of the show alongside the brisket. It is fabulous!! (I wish I knew what they seasoned it with so I could get my tomato gravy to taste that good.). About the brisket - it's as good as any you will find in the Texas Hill Country, and better than some of those. On a biscuit with a good runny egg, it just doesn't get better than that. The smoked sausage was kind of dry, not great. But everything else is really great. The potatoes are cut in larger pieces than I prefer, but they've still managed to get them good and crispy. If the breakfast is any indication, then the rest of the menu must be great!
