Reviews of Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar present an overall picture of a place with strong service and a lively menu, yet uneven in food quality and upkeep. Many diners commend the staff for professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly service, with several memorable experiences where the service stood out. Food experiences vary widely: some meals arrive well prepared with solid steaks, seafood pastas, and reliable sides, while others report dry or overcooked chicken, dry or underseasoned ribs, and inconsistent presentation; a few items like the parmentier soup and the spinach dip are singled out for praise or disappointment. Cleanliness and ambiance are also a mixed bag, with some guests noting dirty tables, sticky surfaces, and dated décor, while others enjoy a pleasant, quiet dining room and good atmosphere. Value is another recurring theme, with prices perceived as high for portions or quality on certain visits, even as some patrons find the menu offers variety and family friendly options. Despite the negatives, the restaurant remains a common choice for groups and families who appreciate rib dishes and a broad menu, but consistency and upkeep appear to be the key areas for improvement.View restaurant profile

Across the reviews PRIME Bar à Boeuf is praised for top quality beef, a well rounded menu including burgers, chicken sandwiches, pulled beef poutine, and a lobster roll, with sauces that elevate the dishes and buns that are crispy on the outside and tender inside.
