    I enjoyed the food here. I went on a Saturday around 5, and it was packed by the time I left. The ambiance is very diner coded, it's super small and cozy inside. Service was amazing, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The cheese fries were the star of the show for me, must try! The 10" shrimp poboy is very big and comes with plenty of shrimp. It was kind of dry to me so next time I'll probably get extra mayo. The jalapeño burger was also good and juicy.

    Just ordered sum fried oysters! Yum, Troy got stuffed shrimp and Jac orders roast beef melt Po'Boy... don't forget the onion rings! A little bit of a wait but so worth it. Our waitress was hustling!

    Stuffed mornay potato with 6 jumbo fried shrimp ($17ish) & a nice side of smaller fried shrimp ($7)
    Leigh A.

    Large portions of very good food.. have plenty of leftovers.. at least 3 more meals at home. I wanted more shrimp and the waitress recommended a side of smaller fried shrimp which were priced right and delicious! Great food & service.

    Large fry! Huge!

    Friendly, attentive service! Was really craving a shrimp poboy and Dempsey's did not disappoint! We loved their poboys-bread was perfect (buttered french bread)!!! Poboys great! Onion rings-superb! Portions were more than generous! Love that we have a neighborhood restaurant that's so good and dependable!

    Fried Chicken Bacon and Cheddar Po Boy
    Stephanie W.

    Tasty place for some po boys and gumbo! The chicken and sausage gumbo was delicious and a big portion for a cup. I add Tabasco for extra heat and flavor but it was good without too. The chicken bacon cheddar po boy was also huge and tasty. Service was quick and friendly and prices very reasonable. I will say the atmosphere is very lacking, literally blank walls and little to no decorations, but food and service was good and the tables were kept clean. This is also a busy spot so keep that in mind when coming by. Good spot to try!

    Bug on Fried Mozzarella
    Nathan L.

    Giving a 2 star because the service was pleasant and they were understanding of the situation and removed it from our bill. We ate 2 fried mozzarella logs before noticing one had a bug on it. Also, the gumbo tasted like the roux was burnt and the place just did not feel clean.

    French dip sandwich with seafood gumbo
    Andrew M.

    The French dip sandwich combo with the seafood gumbo is not only a very good deal,leaving me stuffed, but is outstanding food as well. One of the best roast beef sandwiches I have enjoyed. Gumbo was very tasty. Excellent service with Jolie. Great local place definitely worth checking out.

    Just a normal Cajun restaurant table LOL

    Found this hidden gem by accident and I am DEFINITELY going to be a lifelong customer! Everyone is super friendly. Service is impeccable. The food is TO SIE FOR! I actually asked them to tell the chef (cooks) how much we enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend. Shrimp are huge. Roast beef po boy Gumbo

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

    I heard about this place and saw some videos on TikTok. We decided to try it. All I can…read moreis.....amazing! This has to be the best burger in Baton Rouge! 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! I can't wait to come back and try other menu items and the daily specials!

    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!
