    Carrot soufflé
    Izzy

    Went out with Family, and I ordered a 6 oz filet and Carrot Soufflé. The filet, when brought out had the plastic around it still, and while the meat was very good and tender, there was also some fat that I just couldn't get around. The real star of the show though, was the Soufflé. Oh. My. Gosh. It was AMAZING. I will definitely always order this as a side from now on. As for the setting, it's TJ Ribs, which for me is always somewhat loud. Having a hearing disability, this is always a challenge but, the food was good so it was worth not hearing the other person 100%. One other thing I was ecstatic about is that we were in an out in around an hour, very fast service. So come here if you want to talk with people, watch the games, and eat some good ribs. This is the first and only time I have ever gotten plastic around the filet.

    Nothing left in sight, it was all good.

    Baby take me back to these ribs! We were in visiting for the Louisiana Book Festival and this place was recommended by a friend who used to live in Baton Rouge. She said the reviews are hit or miss but it was always good. I don't know what other people ordered or perhaps TJ was having an off day when those reviews were posted, I mean we all have those days, but this place did not disappoint! At first I was taken back by the ambiance, which felt more like a sports bar & grill than a BBQ joint. But with food this good, I don't care if it's served out the backseat of a Nissan. Kiy was our server and was awesome! She told us they were known for their award winning ribs, so we went with the dry rub. These were the BEST ribs I have ever had, and it didn't need to be slathered in sauce. Even my picky husband agrees. The meat was so tender, it was falling off the bone before you could pick them up, but no need to worry, every bit of meat was devoured. As we sat in silence, (and you know the food is good when the table goes silent) my friends enjoyed their smoked brisket, pulled pork, and BBQ shrimp. Dine or Dash? If you're in the area, be sure to stop by because I intend on dining there if I ever return to Baton Rouge.

    With some low star ratings on Yelp, I was a little concerned after a friend recommended this place. I didn't check the reviews until after I sat down. However, the St. Louis ribs were very good, mostly. Four stars instead of five due to most were really good but a few were very chewy. So quality consistency was the issue . My 2 sides were Cole Slaw and Baked Beans, both on point and would order again. $24.95 Dine In St Louis Ribs with 2 sides. PS They are out of their minds if they think I'm going to buy a $35 T-shirt.

    Supposed to be "Burnt ends."  Actually closer to salted mulch.
    Marshall J.

    Oof. Shame on me, really. I don't know why I alway try burnt ends outside of Kansas City. The eternal optimist in me always says, "this time it will be different." Well, these were truly the worst burnt ends I've ever eaten. I tried two of them. They were truly inedible. They were so salty that I couldn't stomach them. If they didn't taste so bad, there's still no way to get them down the hatch. They had the "burnt" part right. These things had been cooked for days. They were so dry and hard. I felt like I was eating salted mulch. The brisket was average, at best. Overcooked, but edible. Portion size was good. The best thing on my plate was the bread. I won't go back.

    Brisket, burnt ends, Mac and cheese and fries.
    Dan B.

    So, I'm not explicitly saying I am a bbq snob, but unless I'm home (Texas), KC, or Carolina, I typically won't even try a place. However, I was with a group of locals that was sure their place could change my mind. Spoiler alert...it didn't. With that said, there were definitely some good points. First off, you could smell the smokers when you were in the parking lot, so great start. We showed up at the tail end of lunch and there were a lot of people seated. It took about 30 minutes to get seated, but it was a large crowd. I have no issues with the wait. I ordered a two meat plate with burnt ends, brisket, Mac and cheese and fries. Overall, I'm disappointed to say the Mac and cheese was the best. And it WAS really good. The burnt ends were way to dry for the most part. There were a couple of bites that were delightful, but for the most part all the fat had been rendered and they were just dry little nuggets. The brisket was ok. Also a little too dry and sliced thinner than I'm used to. It did have a decent smoke ring though! Our server was excellent. Kept checking on us and made sure drinks were filled. No issues there whatsoever. Would I come here as a destination meal? Not likely. But again, I live in what I consider the brisket capitol of the country, so keep that in mind. There were definitely some good bites, just not every bite. I give it a non bbq state 4 stars. ‍

    Baby back ribs, Carrot Soufflé, baked beans
    Alana H.

    Great food! A little bit of a wait since it is a holiday. I had the full rack of baby back ribs, carrot soufflé, and baked beans. Couldn't finish it all. I did save room for the apple cobbler with Ice cream. Totally Amazing! My waitress Vee was the icing on the cake? She was super busy but managed to be attentive and most of all hospitable. Great experience! I will be back!

    Set up like a sports bar TJ's ribs has a wide variety of bbq choices. We had ordered many different things off the menu, unfortunately nothing really stood out, except two of the sides. The carrot soufflé is and worth a category of its own. Almost a dessert. The potato salad is also five stars. But the main courses were just average in my opinion. The brisket is very dry, the ribs were good, but not amazing. Sausage was decent and the smoked wings were good, but not great. Overall I think this place is worth giving a try, but wouldn't be my first choice.

    The ribs were amazing! Smoky flavor, fall off the bone tender with just the right amount of sauce! Sides are always good too!

There are only about 5 golf simulators, but a big bar with tons of bar like seating and TVs everywhere. This would be a great place to watch a sports game or to come to enjoy the atmosphere if you don't want to do the gold simulators. We sat at a high top and were able to watch tv and watch some parties golf. From where we were sitting, the golf simulators offer more than golf. There were so many things you could do, and each simulator had there own area/cubby, so that was nice if you wanted to do that. I thought the service could have been better. First, they had to start a tab when you order, which I understand for this atmosphere. Tip is already included when you pay. Because it is still new, we didn't mind that the service was slow. The food and drinks were great bar food. Delicious! We got the mozz sticks, chicken Caesar wrap, and the hot honey chicken sandwich. It was all great portions and very good. I also got the strawberry mojito, which I ended up getting another one because it was so good. Will definitely be back!

The grilled cheese is perfection on sourdough and the tomato soup is a perfectly spicy counterpart to its buttery richness. The daily specials during the week are all hits from the wings, to the burger, to the meatloaf.... While we're talking about that it's served with the best Real life mashed potatoes that I've had in a while. I've also tried their fried chicken caesar salad, a generous portion of salad tossed in good caesar dressing and topped with crispy fried chicken. Pretty darn good. Service is always friendly and attentive and the drinks are just as good as the food. Really solid martinis and the Ashley signature cocktail has become one of my faves.
