No expectations, bc this was my First time.They bring you delicious homemade potato chips and sweet pickles for an addictive snack for starters.You have to pay $$$ for tiny bottle cokes.As far as BBQ goes- I'll say this, it's "pre-sauced" and a tad greasy. It's ok. A little salty.Carrot Cake - 1000%!! I'd go back for that!.

We stopped by for lunch and left thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles that immediately set the tone for a welcoming experience. Our server was phenomenal--despite it being her last day, she brought so much energy and enthusiasm to our table. Her positive attitude and attentiveness made our visit even more enjoyable. **The Food:** We ordered the crab cakes, Brussels sprouts, and fried okra, and every bite was a treat! Each dish was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The complementary pickles and chips were a thoughtful touch and added to the overall experience. **The Atmosphere:** The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with beautiful artwork adorning the walls that added a touch of charm. The restaurant was spotless, which we really appreciated. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience. The combination of great service, delicious food, and a warm ambiance ensures we'll be back the next time we're in town!

Still excellent service and food. Service was fast and friendly. Eat everything and get their world famous carrot cake and thank me later! I take everyone here! I can't get enough of their pickles and I have even purchased them to take home. I will continue to drive 2 hours to come eat here

Perfect place to have a work lunch and come back to the office with no energy. Lol! Food is amazing, my coworkers come specifically for the salads. I've never had to wait for a lunch table and the service is always on point.

BRQ in Baton Rouge. I think I have a crush on you. On my last night in BR, I tried this spot with a coworker, following a recommendation from our local project manager, who said the a/c was great and the food was even better. She was correct on both counts. Saylor took great care and deftly managed keeping drinks filled and the whole BRQ team brought food to our table at temperature and others in our section seemed happy, as well.We tried barbecue and seafood menu items. Very good, all around. Starting with complimentary house-made BnB pickles and BBQ chips is brilliant. Delicious amuse-bouche for all ages. We wanted the baked goat cheese (out of marinara), so substituted spinach-artichoke. Great fun that the kitchen was willing to swap in vegetables for tortilla chips. (Nice to have an option that doesn't derail the healthier eaters at the table.)BBQ is fantastic. I didn't take a photo of the house-made andouille or their 4 (four!) different bbq sauces.Trust me and treat yourself to andouille a la carte or alongside whatever else you will try. The brisket nachos with house made cheese sauce were dynamite. The seafood was fresh and perfectly prepared. I'm a Mac n cheese snob, but Saylor said BRQs was good. (Claim: verified!) Maquechoux was delicious. Wasn't hungry for dessert, but had to order just to get the look on my coworker's face (who hadn't seen it delivered to the next table). The vast majority of the cake went home in 2 (two!) rotisserie chicken boxes. Massive, deliciously textured with nuts, raisins, and carrots, and not cloyingly sweet. I wish there was a plus or bonus star to give. I travel for work. A lot. I try to find locally-run places where the atmosphere is comfortable and the food is deliciously made with care. BBQ joints hold a special place in my heart. It takes most of a day to prepare it. The effort is hot, long, and under appreciated. Places that go the extra step (veggies instead of chips), make a little tasty things to welcome you (here are chips and pickles: we are glad you're here!), and prepare wonderful entrees and sides... well this is a comfortable and delicious experience. And if you are in Baton Rouge, go. If you aren't in BR, then get there and try this place.

I recently went with my bf to BRQ for brunch on Sunday. It was very busy but I had made a reservation and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was very attentive and I appreciated her patience given the fact that we took forever to order. Lol. They provide you with complimentary chips and pickles which were both good. We ended up getting the mimosa's that they offer (a bottle of champagne and a glass of Orange juice) and for the price it was a good deal. I got the chicken fried steak and it was very good. Seasoned perfectly, along with the gravy. The eggs were ok and the biscuits were good. My bf got the chicken and waffles and he really enjoyed them. I definitely want to go back and try other menu items.

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Pricey but worth it. We tried the spinach dip (fabulous), 1/2 lb of sausage (my favorite bite, so delicious) and the combo plate with pulled pork, brisket and ribs with beans (there was no bad bite). I would absolutely come back!

My favorite restaurant. The dining area is neither hot nor cold - it's just right; no shivering while you wait and while you dine. Service is always good & prompt, each time I've been here. Crabcakes here are the BEST anywhere. If you have never tried the brussels sprouts starter - do yourself a favor and try it. It will change your mind about brussels sprouts. And of course - the in-house made chips & BnB pickles. What's not to like?

The shoutout goes to Ms. Pam and Claire for the great hospitality and the love they showed us. I haven't been in the restaurant since 2018 and the ambiance is so much better. The servers seem happy and wanting to work. The food was good! The big portions and flavor in every bit was present in our dining experience. Ms. Pam gave us a tour and made sure to chop it up with our table. You don't see many managers enjoying the hospitality field anymore. This gave me faith back in the BRQ brand. Thank y'all for making us fans again.

Pickles and chips were incredible. Brisket queso and chips were also excellent. The pulled pork quesadilla was very good with a side of French fries. Meal was large enough for another meal of leftovers. Service was very good and extra sauces were served on the side.
