    Demolished food
    Genesis M.

    As a texan myself this is good stuff! Drinks are giant, different types of bbq sauce already at the table and the meat was good. Service was on point. The tvs are kinda broken. The place is clean and nice.

    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.

Jack was our server. He made some excellent recommendations!! The chicken pot pie had a kick to if so fyi....Everything was delicious!! Turns out we got and order of the boudin pie instead of the crawfish pie but it was delicious! He did bring us out a crawfish pie to try (not pictured) and it was also excellent!! The red beans and rice were the best I've had. And I've done a red beans and rice tour in NOLA and this was the best I've had!! We rounded out our meal with the Eye of the Tiger pie. And holey moley!!! The best finish to our meal!! They also have a great craft beer selection on draft. The only downside to this place is the parking is not great and there are only two bathrooms that are unisex. But heck....I'll be back every time I visit BR!!

They have been featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive In's, and Dives" and have the pictures with Guy Fieri prominently displayed to prove it. The interior is eclectic, which is comforting. While BBQ is the main emphasis here, there are a number of other things on the menu. One of these that's really popular is the seafood stuffed potatoes. 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...

We took our mom here for her birthday in early June. The service was okay at this restaurant. There was nothing that stood out in particular about the service, it was pretty average. The food at this restaurant all tasted great. I tried their fried green tomatoes appetizer as well as their golden fried alligator which was delicious. I got the jerk fried chicken with red beans and rice and smoked sausage for my entree and it was good. I was expecting my chicken to be spicy or to at least taste like jerk seasoning but it didn't at all. It was more like a BBQ sauce with no heat at all. The menu was also very lacking to me, we all felt that it was missing items or needed more. I wish there was more of a variety of items to choose from especially for those allergic to shellfish or vegetarian.
