Reviews of Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar describe a warm, versatile spot where ribs and steaks are frequently praised for flavor and doneness, portions are generous, and the atmosphere works for dates, family meals, or casual gatherings. Service is often highlighted as attentive and fast, though a few visits note slower or fragmented service, reservation issues on busy nights, and mixed experiences with staff. The menu offers a wide range from burgers and chicken to seafood linguine and gourmet sides, with several diners calling the ribs a standout and other dishes like garlic bread au gratin worth trying, while a handful of entrees have been described as bland or overpriced. The decor and vibe have shifted post renovation with some missing the old cozy steakhouse feel, while others appreciate the modernized setting and bar options. Pricing is generally seen as fair for the portion size, but some guests feel the quality does not always match the high price point, especially for seafood and certain entrees. Overall, Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar is regarded as a reliable midrange grillhouse with consistently solid meat dishes, good value, and friendly service, though experiences can vary from visit to visit and from location to location.
Had a terrible experience, went for an anniversary dinner & had one of the staff spill an entire drink all over my 4 year old & wife. Barely got an apology & was charged for everything at first, i had to verbalize how bad the service was to get the 15$ drink removed from the tab. Not considering ever returning. Do better.
Happy Hour drinks only valid at the bar. Server told us to go help ourself at the bar if we wanted happy hour specials. After a drink, the bar refused to serve us as we had a table in the dining area. We were 6 & the server messed up half of our bills.
On top of that, the food was bland & poorly executed. Very disappointed, will not go back. Giving 2 stars because the bar staff was very friendly.
My family & I found this restaurant in an online search. It attracted our eye with the variety of foods offered, & it had something everybody could enjoy. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately & sat. Our server came over a few minutes later & asked us for drink selections, & they were received in less than 5 minutes. I ate a hamburger, my wife ordered chicken with rice pilaf, my son had the rack of ribs, & my daughter ordered a salad. Everything came with generous portions & tasted great. My son's ribs fell off the bone, & my burger was perfect. Everything was flavorful & hot upon given to us. I felt the pricing was very fair as the most expensive dinner was my son's ribs at $30, which is very fair for the product served.
Our server was great, the atmosphere was perfect with lower lighting, & it was not loud at all. I enjoyed the fact that it was a casual restaurant, but the staff dressed very nicely & gave outstanding customer service. It made you feel like you were at a higher end establishment with good food, service, & prices. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area, it won't disappoint!
The service was absolutely outstanding-truly one of the best we've ever had anywhere! I believe our server's name was Sam, & he went above & beyond to make our visit special. The drinks & food were both delicious, & the atmosphere was vibrant & welcoming. We can't recommend this place highly enough. It's definitely a must-visit, & we'll be sure to stop by again the next time we're in Montreal!
We visited Baton Rouge in Montreal last night. The atmosphere was decent - a mix between a sports bar & a pub-style restaurant. Service was friendly, but a bit scattered; we were helped by four different servers throughout the evening. Everyone was kind, though it felt a bit disorganized.
The food came out quickly & the portions were huge, but the quality didn't quite match the quantity. The price of the food & drinks also did not match the quality. Appie, two drinks & mains over $160.
If you're looking for generous portions of okay food, this might be your spot. But if you're after the'best ribs in town,' you may want to keep looking.

We came to Bâton Rouge for dinner & overall had a great experience. The atmosphere was cozy & welcoming, & the staff were attentive throughout the evening.
The standout, as always, was the ribs-still incredibly delicious. Tender, juicy, & packed with smoky flavor, they never disappoint. At just $29 for a full rib dinner, the value is excellent, especially considering the quality & portion size.
One thing that left a bit of a sour note: they had a happy hour drink special, but it only applies if you physically walk over & drink at the bar. If you order the exact same drink from your dinner table, the price jumps back to regular. It doesn't make much sense & honestly feels a bit unfair to seated guests.
That aside, the food quality & service make this a spot I'd still recommend-especially if you're here for the ribs.
- soft drink without ice, dirty glass & weird taste - I asked for a well-cooked burger & they bring us a burger with raw meat - the waiter made a mistake on our order - I had a bad experience today
Service: 10/10 Food: 8/10 Price is a little expensive, but you get a large portion! I highly recommend getting the espresso martini :) Drinks & Dinner for two people costed around $100
if you're like me & enjoy sitting at the bar, you might get a chance to meet the one & only SuperMike. he always greets us with a smile & his attention to detail is unmatched. food is on point & drinks are always good & well priced. always good times at baton rouge!
