Last night in Baton Rouge and was looking for a place to have a nice meal before a travel day…read moreahead. The reviews looked promising so I thought... why not? When I arrived it was honestly dead inside. Maybe one other customer and I had to ask if they were still open because it was oddly slow. But you want to know what was not dead? Their food! I ordered a glass of wine and the beef tenderloin cooked medium rare. He steak came with fingerling potatoes and veggies. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the veggies had a slight crunch and not overcooked and the fingerling potatoes were the perfect add to that dish. I sat at the bar and had the place to myself but overall really enjoyed my food. Friendly staff and very happy with my experience.

Nice place with a good sounding menu. Will go back to try other things. Had the truffle oysters…read morewhich were good but basic. The tuna salmon carpaccio was good, little thrown off as it was warm which had me worried. But it was very good and balanced. The rice puffs were addicting. lobster roll was good even Though it was cold style which is not my favorite but the bread was delicious and they filled it nicely. Just need to provide more butter. Their fries were airy and consistent. The only not good part was the tiramisu and the colada drink. The cookie wafers were too much and too dense. All in all will come back.

We ordered the 50-50 catfish and shrimp combo and the c'est la vie potato. With our tea and lemonade, the total came to $47.64. Unfortunately, the meal definitely did not meet our expectations. The fish and shrimp were small, the potato was small and undercooked in the middle and hard to chew. Only saw two small bites of crabmeat in the sauce. Well, the food itself had an acceptable flavor, it just was not enough to be satisfying. We left hungry and ended up stopping somewhere else to eat. I will say the waitress was nice. This was my first visit and my last.

BRQ was hands down one of the best meals we had during our trip to Baton Rouge! 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!

Welp, food and service was so good I forgot to take pix. Nice cozy place we ran upon and boy am I…read moreglad. All of the food items that I am about to mention were 5 star. Spinach and artichoke dip,house made chips and pickles, turkey and fig sandwich and lastly, the Chicken Mamou. Everything was so good. Now, on to the customer service. Even if the food was bad, I think I'd go back just for Cassie's immaculate customer service. She was very welcoming and knew the menu very well. 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.

The seafood pasta was very rich and can be shared as it's a large portion in my opinion. Also, don't leave without trying there homemade biscuits. You'll have no regrets!! Service was great to say we made same day reservations on a Sunday! They have a bar with seating, regular dining and upstairs with additional seating and an outdoor patio! I recommend this restaurant for a pleasant brunch with family, friends, or even solo!

I wanted to be happy about this dining experience. I love Caribbean/Caribbean inspired food…read more Unfortunately, they missed the mark. Every place had bad days and maybe I just caught them on a bad one but I was highly disappointed. While the better/server was polite, it took a very long time to be greeted and seated and to get food ordered and brought to the table. When it did, everything fried was super salty like a salt block salty. My rice barely had any salt or seasoning and my oxtails weren't very tender and the sauce tasted like out came out of a jar in the store. We were the only ones in there so I just don't know. One day I'll try again but it's gonna take me a minute. I felt like I got food catfished.

We started out with an order of loaded fries and teas. Fries came quick and was plenty for two males who aren't afraid to eat. We didn't finish them. Loaded with cheese, bacon bits, ranch, HT special sauce and bacon bits. The tea was fresh made and was delicious. I had a burger/melt which had a 1/4 patty, grilled shrimp, grilled onions, sauce and cheese. It was big and piping hot when brought to the table with a side of cole slaw. Buddy had the crab patty burger. It was decent size with grilled veggies on the side. All food was phenomenal.
