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.
Waiter suggested a 75$ steak which was 20 oz & part of their higher quality special menu.The steak was very chewy even though he told me it is a better grade than their regular menu.
I recommend to stay away from steak if you come here
Last time I had the ribs & they were better.
It was amazing 👏 I highly recommend trying their table d'hôte menu because the pairings work well together.
I had a chicken tortilla tomato soup, mesclun salad with avocado dressing, sante fe chicken it was grilled chicken breast, wild rice & grilled veg. But the sauce on the chicken was the winner & the goat cheese as well. I usually don't like goat cheese but on this dish it was heavenly!
The other fish we had was the grilled salmon, baked potatoes & grilled veggies. It was amazing as well. The dessert of the day was this nice sponge cake with a maple drizzle & a small ice cream scoop. Delicious!
Bâton Rouge has been highly rated for years & for a good reason. Their plates are diverse & the pairings work well together.
This location has parking & is wheelchair accessible.
When we left, we saw a few people waiting for a table at the entrance,but you can always make a reservation or wait because the food is worth the wait 👍
My husband & i was passing when we decided to stop for dinner. We didn't have a reservation, waited for about half hour for a table as the place was super busy which is understandable because of valentine's day but it was worth it. Food, cocktail, atmosphere & service was good.Definitely would recommend to try them out when in Montreal.
I had an amazing dining experience at Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar! The food was exceptional-juicy, perfectly cooked steaks that are consistently highlighted as signature dishes for their quality & taste. Other popular items include the Garlic Bread au Gratin, Tempura Shrimp, & a variety of salads. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, striking a perfect balance between cozy & upscale vibes. The staff were attentive & made us feel very welcome. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch grillhouse meal. Highly recommend!

I came last night to baton rouge with my hockey team ( 12 guys ) & we were lucky enough to get a table in the bar section even though the restaurant was packed.
We were served by sarah, who did a fantastic job serving all of us & getting all our orders spot on ! ( Chapeau to her ! )Great service, friendly & a great smile! Food was good & didnt wait long at all. Would recommend this restaurant to any & everyone !
Amazing good & atmosphere
Price was very very decent
We had a wonderful time celebrating our son's birthday (20yo)
You can never go wrong with ribs & fries at baton
The spinach cheese dip is a definite must
Calamari was actually very tasty
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!
You can't go wrong at this Baton Rouge restaurant. With an extensive menu, from salads to lobster & steak, customers will get excellent quality no matter what is ordered.
But if you want me to recommend something... you can't go wrong with their amazing ribs. They are, by far, the best in the city.
If you decide to sit at the bar, you can enjoy a smaller rib portion, but you can also enjoy their delicious, juicy, fully loaded burger & fries.
Lots of parking & easily accessible by subway.
A great option for good food.
I was truly impressed by this restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing, & beautifully curated - perfect for enjoying a meal without any rush.
The food? Absolutely excellent. The steak was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, with a deliciously crisp crust that melted in the mouth. The salad was fresh & crunchy, served with high-quality ingredients & paired perfectly with the main dish.
The sides, like the caramelized onions & sautéed mushrooms, were full of flavor & perfectly balanced. Every detail was thoughtfully executed - from the presentation to the attentive yet discreet service.
Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy something excellent after a long, intense day.
A special thank you to Joyce, who was incredibly kind, polite, & attentive, & to Chef Hawk, who delivered an absolutely perfect steak. Truly top-notch!
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.
Very mediocre! Been in Baton Rouge for the second time, tried their filet mignon & New Yorker steak. Both times I was underwhelmed. Can't say it was terrible but it wasn't good. Wouldn't recommend it for vegetarians as well, my friend couldn't find many options & they removed vegetarian burger. Overall, the place is very loud, doesn't feel like a restaurant more like a pub.
Baton Rouge Grill House is a great spot! I had the ribs & chicken, & they were both delicious. The ribs were tender & full of flavor, while the chicken was juicy & perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend for a tasty meal!
