I would say as of today, 7-16-2026, this is easily a top 2 BBQ place in Baton Rouge. If you told me…read moreit was the best I wouldn't argue with you. Thus far I have tried the brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, armadillo egg and potato salad. My first two visits the pulled pork and brisket were hot, tender and moist. The potato salad is good but not great in my opinion. I like that you get pickles and pickled onions with your orders. The BBQ sauce is pretty good. The first time I visited they had an asian inspired BBQ sauce which was really good. Their prices are on par or maybe even a little bit more reasonable than other BBQ spots. Plus, it's always easier to pay the price for BBQ when it's actually good and you feel like you got what you paid for.

In a city not known for its BBQ, this place stands out and can compete with the best of them. I've…read morehad the brisket, the sausage and the burnt ends, and they are incredible every time. Service is great, prices are very reasonable for BBQ, and the food is always delicious. And their Asian BBQ sauce is incredible. It's a walk up and order, seat yourself at picnic table style restaurant. Great spot for lunch any day of the week but not necessarily a nighttime vibe if you ask me. Either way, the food here is very tasty, and I plan to be back very soon.

It was absolutely delicious. We didn't get to try the quarter chicken cause they were out of it but they gave us extra ribs for a substitute so I wasn't mad at it. The brisket was juicy and tender, the ribs were perfectly cooked with a beautiful bark, and the sausage was incredibly flavorful. The turkey was slightly dry, but everything else was exceptional. Overall, we had a wonderful meal and would definitely recommend Smoke Bayou! Can't wait to go for wing night on Wednesday sometime soon. My only concern is that their catering business may be putting some strain on the brick-and-mortar side of the restaurant. We tried to eat there for a second time last Sunday (9/20/26), and there were several people waiting on to-go orders who said they had already been waiting for over an hour. Unfortunately, we ended up deciding not to stay. That being said, based on the meal we did have, the food and service absolutely earned five stars. I just hope they're able to work out the growing pains, because this is definitely a place we want to keep coming back to.

Had been hearing a lot about this place and finally went this past weekend. As a 370 pound man, I…read moredon't say this lightly. Best BBQ I've ever had in my life, hands down. Got the three meat with ribs, chicken, and sausage. Ribs fell off the bone. Chicken was nice and juicy. Sausage had a good kick to it and was very flavorful. The baked beans were delicious. Mac and cheese - it was solid - I might suggest adding a bit of pepper to them, but still tasty as is.

My main dish was their smoked chicken plate which I topped with their sweet BBQ sauce. My only complaint is the chicken wasn't super warm but it was flavorful and seasoned very well.

I'm not in Baton Rouge often but I highly recommend to anyone who is!

The atmosphere was…read morebeautiful, warm, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax after a long day at the ballpark. We started with the smoked queso and lump crab cakes, and both were outstanding. The crab cakes were packed with crab, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the blackened redfish with the white wine lemon butter sauce, loaded mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Every single bite was incredible! The redfish was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich without being too heavy, and I literally cleaned my plate, which almost never happens! We also tried the Catfish Acadian, and it was another fantastic Louisiana dish full of flavor. To top it all off, we finished with the famous carrot cake... and WOW! Huge slice, incredibly moist, and easily big enough to share. BRQ delivered on every level: amazing food, generous portions, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. If you're visiting Baton Rouge or you're a local looking for an incredible meal, put BRQ at the top of your list. We'll definitely be back!

I love a waitress who's able to recommend items from the menu and she didn't give one bad suggestion. I love her personality just as much as I loved the food. Will most certainly be back in the NEAR future and would recommend this restaurant to new patrons.

My husband and I enjoyed beef ribs, leg quarters, brisket, green beans, and potato salad while facing a band stage, adding to the lively atmosphere.

For those who love games, there's a section with pool tables, dart boards, and board games. If you enjoy a smoke after your meal, head out to the covered patio equipped with tables, chairs, and fans. We will definitely visit this establishment often!

The atmosphere is small, cozy, and inviting, making it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a special night out. Our server, Addison, was outstanding--easily one of the best servers I've had in Baton Rouge. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even better. If you get the chance, don't miss their Restaurant Week menu. They always go above and beyond, and this year was no exception. The quail, stuffed with boudin and served over red beans, was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. It was one of the standout dishes I've had in quite a while. If you're in Baton Rouge and can't decide where to eat, City Pork on Jefferson is a place you can count on. Great food, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere keep me coming back.
