    Rib plated and added the $5- side of turkey
    Cas T.

    The turkey? The turkey is so good! It's super moist, tender, and full of flavor. I can't even explain the ribs, but I need a lesson on their process. Baked beans have a vinegar base, but good. Now, I will say I don't care for the BBQ sauces or sweet tea.

    Ribs, brisket.   Awesome

    Our first time stopping here. And omg. It was awesome. My new favorite spot We ordered. Ribs, brisket. Potato salad, Cole slaw It was all fantastic. Highly recommend

    I had a to go order from off set smokes and BBQ. I ordered the smoke sausage plate with Mac and cheese and greens. The sausage was good, Mac and cheese was good, greens were from a can not seasoned at all. My Family members ordered another sausage plate, Mac and cheese, greens, brisket plate, Mac and cheese, greens, brisket sandwich on regular bun, Mac and cheese and turkey sandwich on regular bun,Mac and cheese. Choose both bbq sauce and spicy Asian sauce both were good. All other food items were good. Didn't take long to prepare our food order. Plan to revisit soon to see about sides of greens improving. We did not dine in. Area was open and clean to dine.

    Beef ribs!!
    Eric G.

    Holy cow!! Literally!! The beef ribs are the star of the show at this place! Don't get it twisted, these are NOT spare ribs. They are huge! They sell them by the bone and each bone has about 1.5lbs of meat on them. They are perfectly seasoned and almost fall off the bone. You can cut them easily with a plastic knife. The combination of their spicy Asian bbq sauce with the pickled onions and dill pickles was an absolute winner for me! These ribs made me respect Baton Rouge bbq! The sides we tried, Mac n cheese, potato salad, Cole slaw, were average. The greens were actually better than average and I would buy them by themselves. After we got our food and were thoroughly enjoying it, the manager came out to check on us and make sure everything was ok. He even thought us a sample of their Dino Eggs, a jalepeno, wrapped in bacon and cream cheese and drizzled with bbq sauce. Nice touch! They were pretty good too.

    Greens, potato salad, ribs, sausage, chicken, brisket

    I'll start with the good. Nothing had a bad flavor or tasted off or old. Everything I ordered was edible and service was good. Nice setup of outdoor eating, but still shielded from the sun. That being said I didn't feel this was BBQ. I've eaten BBQ in many states some known and unknown for it. The smokiness factor was lacking. The bark on the brisket wasn't doing what it's supposed to do. The greens tasted more like meat cooked in pot liquor as opposed to tasting like a vegetable seasoned with meat. The potato salad, while not bad was sweeter than I like mine to be. The sausage was crumbly like the fat to meat ratio was off in it affecting cohesiveness. The chicken made me think baked rather than smoked. What comes to mind is meat that has been cooked sous vide and then finished on a smoker to get a ring, but ultimately ends up without that true smokey flavor of real BBQ.

    FYI - This restaurant has nothing to do with Migos. I was expecting bad and boujie bbq since Offset is in the name but it was so much more. These people definitely walk it like they talk it. There is no doubt that this is Baton Rouge's best BBQ and is solidly in the top 5 in the state. I have been following the opening of this restaurant for some time. It is right across the street from a restaurant I visit frequently and the anticipation has been building for a long time. Now that it is open, I have been on several Fridays in a row. Why Friday? It is open Friday-Sunday only, which means Friday is my day since I am not frequently in town on weekends. If you have ever had real deal Texas BBQ at places like Hutchin's, Terry Blacks, Lockhart, Lavaca, etc. you will understand the level of BBQ put out by Offset. It is truly BBQ excellence. Brisket is my favorite food on earth and they know what they are doing here. Trust me when I tell you, get brisket and no sides. Brisket and a side of brisket is the way to go. In addition to phenomenal brisket, I have had their jalapeno cheddar sausage, sate sausage, and pork belly burnt ends. None will replace brisket as my go-to but the jalapeno sausage is the best I have ever had. If you live anywhere near Baton Rouge, you need to get to Offset BBQ and get you some ASAP!

    We got a big spread ribs, sausage, chicken, brisket, turkey, pork belly, pulled pork, beans, coleslaw, greens, mac & cheese, pickled veggies and bread and everything we tried was spot-on delicious. The sausage had this super unique, incredible flavor. I'm someone who normally does not like turkey at all, but theirs was juicy and shockingly good not dry whatsoever. And the pork belly? Absolute life changer. And let me tell you about the sides amazing and not to be skipped. I'm a sucker for mac & cheese and they nailed it, but every side we tried was just as impressive. Service was next level. It was pouring rain and I had a huge tray they came outside and helped load everything into my car. Super friendly staff, food came out on time, and the place has a great vibe with nice lighting. If you love BBQ and you're in Baton Rouge, don't skip this spot. I'll definitely be back!

    Baked beans and potato salad.
    Dorci B.

    This really is the best barbecue in Baton Rouge! My plate was excellent! The ribs were tender, the regular & jalapeño cheddar sausages were jam packed with flavor. The sausage casing was a little thick though. The potato salad was great, it reminded me of Rouses deviled egg salad. The baked beans were also top notch.

    The food was amazing! They provided great service & made this Texas girl feel back at home I love the passion in the food that the owner creates , i will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family Will be back soon !

    Smoked Chicken Plate with two sides
    Rami Q.

    Don't miss it cause you might! Small container style outfit that packs a punch on Government St. Everything was super flavorful, portions pretty good, cost might be a little higher for most but still worth a shot. They do offer a sampler platter for $100 bucks that looks to be real good deal but I don't eat pork so couldn't take advantage of that deal. Not a huge seating area (4 Benches or so) and didn't see if they had seating on the backside. I didn't walk around back to see if there is a bathroom for patrons but we left with dirty hands. Hopefully someone can confirm. Free refills on sodas. Overall pretty good to try if in the area.

    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.

We…read morehad to pick what we wanted a couple days before the meeting, so we could get what we wanted. For catering, I was surprised at how many options there were! There was salads, sandwiches, vegetarian options and lots of sides and dessert options. Because I didn't know if the sandwiches would come with sauce on them, which I don't like, I opted for a Cesar salad with a brownie. During our meeting before lunch, Jason's Deli delivered our boxes and put our names on the boxes so you knew which one was yours. I really liked this inside of just categorizing by lunch type: sandwich, salad, soup. When I opened my box, my Cesar salad was there with a big cup of dressing on the side. There was also two slices of bread and my delicious brownie. The salad was delicious and so was the bread and brownie. If I'm ever needing to cater for something, I am definitely doing Jason's Deli!

The muffalata sandwich was average, you only get to choose from ham & salami or turkey. When ordering we got the quarter muffalata special, the guy made it sound like you had to choose between ham, salami or turkey. It tasted decent, but not the real deal. Currently they have French onion soup, delicious! It was full of onions. Would def get it again. The salad bar was constantly being refreshed with new food. $7.79 and you can get a "side salad". I was so filled from the salad I didn't even need the sandwich. For $20 you have 2 full meals. Can't beat that.

    Today my wife, son, & I decided to do a blind taste test of 3 local sub shops we've never had…read morebefore that we've heard great things about: Cheba Hut, Jersey Mike's, and Inga's. Our results were all similar; we all agreed that JM was the best of the bunch. My wife and I liked Inga's more than Cheba Hut, while I preferred Cheba. However, when the final scores were tallied, Inga's came in 2nd. I wouldn't say it's a bad sandwich by any means, but I wouldn't say it's great, either. The steak imo wasn't nearly as spectacular as I'd been led to believe. Personally I'd rate it 3 stars, but since my wife and son enjoyed it more than I did I'll give it 4.

I ordered one of my favorites, the grilled chicken breast on white bread (fully dressed) and it was just as amazing as I remember it. I will say, they went up on their prices but it's definitely worth the price. I always get the giant size because I'll either split it with someone or save the other half for lunch the next day. So it's pretty much two meals (unless you're super super hungry and want to eat the whole sandwich in one sitting like I did yesterday:)). They are always super quick too! I called in my order to pick it up and it only took 10 minutes. Also, the woman who is always working is super nice as well! I'll definitely continue to be a regular at this place, one of my favorite spots in Baton Rouge!
