    Nasty Ribs
    Teresa W.

    Everything went downhill!! I got St. Louis ribs plate and the ribs were just nasty clots of fat! The french fries were barely cooked. They were still white. They weren't even golden brown. The bread wasn't toasted should've been. It was also still white and the okra with soggy with grease. Whoever comes in my meal This must've been there first day because it's sucked so bad that I'm not coming back it's a damn shame because this place is to be one of the best restaurants in Baton Rouge but now they're just serving slop.

    The food

    The service was EXTREMELY slow. My estimate on how long the food took to get to me was about 45 minutes, and we were about to leave by the time the food got to us. The lights were bright, and the person I was ordering with often complained about them, and one of was also flickering, which was very distracting. I received my food, and I ordered a plain burger and tots. The food was very tasty! I would recommend coming here if it's not too busy, but if it is busy then you need to turn around and go somewhere else.

    Here was my candied bacon burger!! Amazing

    came to get lunch today with the office staff. the food was beyond good! all 5 of us got something different and we all enjoyed our food. we also had a really awesome server Christina B. she deserves a raise!!

    Since Sonny's will soon be in Gonzales, and we were craving BBQ anyway, we decided to get a sneak preview by heading to the BR location on Florida. I've never had a BBQ sandwich on garlic bread instead of a bun. Highly recommend though! We must have all been feeling a little piggy today because everyone chose pork. The Sweet Carolina was my choice because I love coleslaw on my BBQ. The mac and cheese was creamy and tasty and the pork was very flavorful. Hubby had the Whole Hog which had pulled pork, sliced pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage. We also started the meal with corn fritters. I was skeptical when they arrived with a dash of powdered sugar on them but again, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they went together. I will definitely be a patron when they get here to Heritage Crossing.

    I felt the meat was dry. I ordered the 4 meat. The waitress was great. It was just ok.

These are gigantic baked potatoes that come with shrimp or catfish, with our without crawfish étouffée. Seafood is a definite option here, and one can have it on Friday or any other day. But let's discuss the BBQ. They have smoked turkey that's never dry, and this is great in a sandwich or plate. The smoked wings are another favorite of mine. Then there is the smoked meatloaf, which is great in po-boy form. The ribs and brisket are also very worthy options. I think a two meat plate is a good way to enjoy the BBQ as it allows variety in tasting! Then one has to be pleased by the wide selection of sides. Variety is always great, especially when it includes uncommonly great options like fried green beans, red beans and rice, and Cajun Dirty Rice. One can always get coleslaw and beans if you are a fan of the classics. They even have desserts, if one has any room left for them. I rarely do...
