American Grill BBQ Steakhouse Salads Burgers

Review Summary

Overall, reviews portray Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar as providing generous portions, solidly cooked steaks and ribs, and a warm, versatile ambiance fit for intimate dinners, family gatherings, or business meals. Service is repeatedly praised as attentive and efficient, with staff often going the extra mile and handling allergies well, while the atmosphere can be cosy or lively and sometimes a bit noisy near the bar or rushed at closing. The menu is varied and reliably flavorful, with ribs, filet mignon, chicken Santa Fe, salmon and pappardelle popular, though a few dishes are noted for burnt notes, saltiness in poutine, or delivery hiccups such as sauce not included with meals. Drinks are diverse and well made, though a few experiences reported flat sodas or uneven cocktails. Pricing is described as high but typical for a steakhouse, with many saying they would return for the quality, service and occasions such as celebrations where desserts or staff gestures add to the experience.View restaurant profile

American Deli Grill Breakfast Smoked Meat

Review Summary

Nickels Deli & Bar is described as having a welcoming atmosphere with attractive decor and friendly, efficient service, and diners report delicious food at good value. A DoorDash order caused a long wait due to an app issue, but the manager was very helpful and went above and beyond to ensure guests were satisfied. Reviews note a clear improvement since a new manager arrived, with staff listening to customers and making immediate corrections, especially regarding the soup. A consistently attentive server is praised, contributing to quick service and a positive dining experience. Overall comments highlight clean restrooms, no unpleasant odors, a wide menu, and lean smoked meat, with several reviewers even calling it the best restaurant in the world and recommending it highly.View restaurant profile
