Review Summary

Overall, customers at Baton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar describe generous portions and consistently good ribs and chicken, with many praising the warm, attentive service and kid friendly touches that make it a solid pick for families and evenings out in the area. Several visits highlight quick, professional service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere, with staff often noted for going above and beyond. However, there are noticeable inconsistencies: meals range from excellent to disappointing, with reports of overcooked or undercooked items, lukewarm dishes, and some missteps with orders or long waits for checks. A few visits mention price being high relative to portion or quality, while others feel the value is fair or good given the atmosphere and size of portions. There are occasional criticisms about the menu needing refresh or varying quality, and a rare note of cleanliness concerns. Despite the ups and downs, the consensus is that the ribs and overall dining experience can be very good when the service and kitchen are on point, encouraging return visits.

Had a bad experience at another Baton Rouge, & decided to give it another shot. My parents & I went for happy hour only to sit down, order drinks & then be told happy hour is only if you sit at the bar….would have been nice if someone told us before. The food also came out ridiculously fast which is also concerning. The food itself was fine. Although the dessert was not at all how it was pictured. Disappointed overall for the price.

Very Dissapointed!
My wife, my daughter & I decided to travel from Laval to Baton Rouge at Complexe Desjardins on New Year's Eve by public transit. We finally tried the new Rem & walked the whole underground to get to Baton Rouge before 6pm to enjoy their happy hour. Welll, unfortunately, after being seated in the dining room at 5:25pm, we were told only the bar area gets the happy hour. & of course now there was no seats available in bar area. Ironic that just 2 months ago we were served happy hour drinks in the dining area at Baton Rouge in Anjou. Then comes the menu, we were so excited to try their famous chicken tenders but for some reason, it wasn't on their menu. They also didn't have the chicken sandwich, nor the chicken burger. Many things that were on their website menu (checked before we left) was missing on the menu. Besides that, we were astonished on how we just ordered & yet we got all three plates of food in literally minutes, which is impossible to have cooked meat & burgers that quickly. But yet the burger was cold & mashed potatoes were warm. Something just doesn't add up. Must of been precooked. It tasted like it also.
& finally comes the dessert, which sure didn't look like the photos on the menu. The apple pecane dessert was totally different from the pics. Especially the choco espresso tarte which was still frozen when we got it. That wasn't a light creamy mousse. It was hard like a rock.
It sure was a memorable New Year's Eve dinner!

Wanted to try this place again with my friends, see if the service improved over the years & If I could I'd give zero stars the service is incredibly slow waited around 20 minutes just for the server to show up & another 20 for him to take the order when the food came not only was it burnt but also cold I mean cmon people are paying & yall serve prison food here or what it's not a McDonald & even McDonald's serves hot food. Food was completely cold burnt & unedible. With food & drinks the total was way too high for the quality of service & food we received. Atmosphere of your typical sports bar nothing more. My question is how do yall have the audacity to serve this to clients for this price. Will not be coming back here truly disappointing experience.

Second time.

Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar

So, this is the second time I visited Baton Rouge Restaurant at Complex Desjardins as per the
Owner's suggestion. From Owner,'We hope to see you soon so that we can serve you better.'

I was with my husband & it was his first time back since the closure.

We sat in the Bar area at a booth. I hate to say it but again it took a little while for of us to get our drinks & then our food but we enjoyed our drinks while we waited.

We did not get an entrée & we both ordered Rib Steaks. He requested his steak be well done & burnt to a crisp & I requested mine medium well. Then we both ordered the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. We also ordered one Skillet Mushrooms & one Signature Peppercorn Sauce.

Then came the food & just by looking at his steak we could tell that it was not well & as he cut into it, there was some pink. Then I cut into mine & it looked even pinker than his.

I made the suggestion to him that he should send it back & he said he would see if other parts of it was cooked better. Well, I sent mine back & it took a while he was finished his Garlic Mashed by the time I got my steak back. He said his steak upon examination was not better when he cut into it elsewhere. So again, I made the suggestion he should send it back but he refused on the grounds that it took me so long to get mine back.

I had eaten my vegetables & set up my bake potato because I had the toppings on the side when I decided to send my steak back.

When my plate came back to the table I had more vegetables, a fully loaded baked potato & I don't know how but an even rarer steak than before. The only way I think that could have happened is they cooked me another steak. Cutting into it there was blood on the plate. Also, the fact that I got a fully loaded baked potato shows that the kitchen staff did not pay attention to the original order.

I have question: How is a pepper corn sauce salty as it is made with pepper ? The Signature Peppercorn Sauce was really salty. Just another issue.

We were both so upset & disappointed. It ruined our celebration & a night out. We did not order dessert & wanted to leave as soon as we could.

We will think hard about going back to this restaurant again. This was strike two.

Oh, so I did take the Owner's suggestion & try the restaurant again but to no avail it was worse than the first time.

Don't have the burger, probably stick with the ribs, which is what they are known for. I asked to swap out the swiss for Monterey Jack, burger arrived with no cheese at all. Patty was overcooked & dry af. Edges burned, barely any bbq sauce. If I wasn't famished, would have returned it. We were 5, 2 got plates. 7 min later, other plates arrived. Flank steak was good according to mom but garlic bread is way too basic for the price. Don't know if short staffed as it's pretty much the norm but no one came to refill the wine glasses. Come on BR, up your game! Had not been to Bâton Rouge in over 10yrs. Looks like another 10yrs will pass before I step foot in another BR. Very disappointing...

Fun spot to go eat & hang in the afternoon or evening when hungry. Price is median, good for what is served. However salads should come in two sizes as my mother's plate was way too huge for her to finish. Dessert was alright but the brioche wasn't warm & was a bit dry. Overall though very yummy, very wonderful service, & a good selection for bar & grill type of cuisine.

Excellent BBQ ribs! Nice clean with a good bar. The waiter & bartender were great. The atmosphere is great too. I saw a lot of people eating the ribs, so they must be a favorite.

My Sister & I were visiting from the States & we decided to try Baton Rouge Grill House & Bar... The food was excellent 👌. We both ordered the ribs & fries with coleslaw. The ribs were cooked perfect, the fries weren't greasy & the coleslaw tasted like coleslaw is suppose to taste ( not with sugar ). 5 stars isn't good enough, I give Baton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar a 10!!! 😊

Nous avons été avant un spectacle en face à la place des arts. Tout ce que nous avons commandé était super (chou-fleur ailes, bar risotto, burger poulet & bavette de boeuf). Serveur super sympa qui nous a conseillé sur les bières. Service rapide. Nous reviendrons :)

Ordered a dry martini with 2 olives, watched the bartender shake the cocktail so hard there were chips of ice in the glass, so it was mostly water. The olives were served stone in, loose in the glass. I get that they don't make many, but what bartender ca
