I got here before noon on a Tuesday and it was already packed. Walking in, the place has a no-frills type ambiance, which is okay with me. The service was friendly and professional and after looking at the menu, I went with a shrimp and roast beef po' boy. The food came out pretty quickly and overall, it was an enjoyable po' boy. Prices were fair and it was a pretty good experience and an enjoyable lunch. If you are in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I would definitely recommend Dempsey's. read more

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. read more

Rating it five stars because the food was phenomenal and the servers were so so sweet. But go expecting a more "down home" type place. You get called sweetie and get wonderful food, but the floors are sticky and the seats are cracking and the decor is mid at best. Go for the food, not the ambiance. read more

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! read more

I went here after wanting gumbo since I couldn't have crawfish. This would have been the second time I would have been trying this gumbo and I bought a quart. I was highly disappointed. This was the thickest gumbo I had eaten ever. Even re heating it was still just as thick.. I'm not sure why this is called seafood gumbo it only has small shrimp and nothing else. No sausage, no crab, chicken or okra is they use it both times I've eaten it months apart from each other. The second time was even worse. No flavor in the gumbo whatsoever hot sauce, the bread and crackers couldn't help. It makes me want to try nothing else on the menu. Needless to say I don't think I'll be back.. read more

French dip sandwich is so deliciously messy a favorite. No lack of roast beef. One of the things you can count on with Dempseys are ample servings. Shrimp poor boy is overflowing with fried shrimp. Fried catfish is also good. I wish they would offer a regular baked potato as well as a stuffed potato. Their small baskets of seafood are very filling. Another favorite are their gumbos all delicious. My favorite onion rings which are very very thin and crispy. We order these frequently with a poor boy. They offer half or whole poorboys for those who have smaller appetites. read more

Solid food in a casual atmosphere. The service was prompt and attentive. I found the food to be good value--you really get a lot for what you pay. I had the hamburger steak. It came with two sides. The hamburger steak was huge and smothered in grilled onions and brown gravy. I was craving a hamburger steak and it hit the spot. If you have a lighter appetite, you'll need a to-go box. My son had a full fried shrimp poboy. It was teeming with shrimp, so much that he actually brought some of the extra shrimp home (hello, air fryer!). He was very satisfied. The menu has lots of choices. This is a good, longstanding establishment. read more

Dempsey's is a classic and never disappoints when it comes to the food! You have to get the messy fries! Fries with melted cheese, jalapeños, mornae sauce, and fried shrimp on top! (100/10; I dream about these fries!) the boudin balls were also pretty solid. This past time we got two poboys and split them. The catfish was the best, but the fried crawfish one wasn't bad! However, every time we've been our food has been amazing and customer service always solid. read more

The poboy was not great, and the gumbo was almost inedible. There was no flavor to speak of, and there was 1 small piece of okra and 3 small shrimp. It looked like a brown-ish bowl of runny mud. As for the fries, they were cold and soggy. For almost $30, I had higher expectations. I definitely won't be back. At least my soda was cold. read more

It took me 18 years of living in Baton Rouge to finally find a family-run restaurant (or really any restaurant in Baton Rouge) that knows how to make a TRUE New Orleans style hot roast beef po' boy. Trust me... I lived many of my 63+ years in the greater New Orleans area and had enjoyed some of the best hot roast beef Po boys from places like Mother's on Poydras in New Orleans as well as Rocky & Carlos down in St Bernard - but until today I had not found a truly wonderful hot roast beef Po boy in Baton Rouge. Well if you're a transplant from New Orleans like me, or just know what a true New Orleans hot roast beef Po boy is all about, then you have got to go to Dempsey's on Coursey Boulevard and give it a try. Their hamburgers are tasty too, but the hot roast beef po-boy made me travel back in time to fond memories of New Orleans family run sandwich shops that I used to take for granted. Be prepared to use lots of napkins and enjoy! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0E9nEVzNnmXz69jSFHzMevbR5PiZdp9jaMCmzvEek9C6gWePe4DtgCnxWd5YtBYQ2l&id=100085698994063&mibextid=Nif5oz read more

Dempsey's offers one of the best poboys outside of New Orleans. The meat servings are very generous and the bread is always delicious. You won't be disappointed by a roast beef. I've always enjoyed the food here and when friends come in from out of town and want good "Louisiana" food, I always get them Dempseys. Service is usually good but they can get REALLY busy sometimes. I prefer to come here not at "peak" dinner time so that I can sit and enjoy. There are only a handful of tables so sitting down to eat could be a wait. And they don't have an online ordering system, so to go orders have to be placed over the phone. There have been times where they're so busy that no one is able to answer the phone, which makes it really hard to order. If ordering to go was easier, I'd change this to 5 starts because the food is REALLY good! read more

My wife and I were happy to discover that Dempsey's was open for business. They spaced out the tables for social distancing. The table was being cleaned when we arrived, so there was no worry about the cleanliness of our table. I ordered my favorite poboy, the fried shrimp poboy. This has been a favorite of mine from eating here in the past, and it didn't fail this time around. The shrimp were delicious, and the bread, nice and crunchy. I also ordered fried onion rings and fried okra. Their onions rings are simply amazing. They could not be sliced any thinner. I also discover a new taste sensation for me. Make a shrimp and okra poboy. Its delicious! read more

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.

Delicious sandwiches. Stuck with a standard Cajun turkey with havarti cheese fully dressed. Not…read moresure if topping/sauce was the culprit, but it was very "juicy." That's fine if you polish off the entire sandwich in one sitting. I usually don't. Bread was soggy on the edges the next day. Still tasty. We ate at the restaurant. Not sure how sandwich holds up if you order to go. Chips were delicious. Variety of flavors. I'll go back and try something a little fancier next time.

Despite the menu recommendation to add slaw to your Bougie Bologna sandwich, don't do it. Don't get…read moreme wrong, the slaw is good. Real good. Nice and vinegary like I like it. And they put a lot on the sandwich. But it overpowers everything else - the bologna flavor is lost. Also, get the bologna grilled to help bring out the flavor. It's a good sandwich. And it's huge. The potato salad is also very good. I will be back soon to try the pastrami, without the slaw. Maybe I can get a side order of slaw (and hopefully it'll be bigger than a condiment cup that most places consider a side order of slaw. Hopefully.) Also - put some of that Dirty Squirt sauce on your sandwich (or potato salad). It's a good mustard based sauce - kind of like a Carolina Golf but not too sweet.

Nice selection of sauces on the table

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!

I stopped going because of the major jump in price of the food especially the wings but they are not a big chain so I get it. Things are served à la carte here but on my last visit I got wings and fries. They charge 50 cents to put Tony's on top and call it spicy fries. Hard pass. The wings were good but not enough to stand out on the price point. I would say don't knock it til you try it though. Burgers also seem to be a hit here. The menu is massive. Friendly service and clean inside as well.
