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.
Amazing service with Sara & Mike & the entire team, but you guys need to bring back steak bites. I know they would be a hit again & don't forget the chimichurri on top.
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.

Really liked this place. Bâton Rouge Grillhouse has a great vibe & feels lively & energetic, which makes it a nice spot to hang out & enjoy a meal. The atmosphere is welcoming & not too noisy, so you can still have a good conversation.
Service was excellent - staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was taken care of without being over the top.
Food was good, portions were reasonable, & the steak was delicious & cooked well. The carrot cake was also really good & definitely worth trying.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience. I'd definitely come back again.
This is one of my favourites whether it's with friends, family, or solo at the bar. I've been to some other BR locations but this one is tops. They know how to cook here. I used to have one major complaint about the steaks not being cooked enough. Medium rare came raw. But I have had their bavette now many times since & it is always cooked perfectly. Good job guys. All the dishes are great. Nice lunch menu. I often get the bavette (flank steak for the Americans) with just veggies. It's a great low carb keto friendly choice. They renovated not long ago & the atmosphere is great. Good job again guys. You will come back for more, again & again & again.
We had the most lovely experience on Saturday evening. Table for 8, 2 birthdays service patient, personable & fast. Every detail was taken care of. Great time was had by all. Food delicious. Steaks cooked perfectly.
Went for a nice dinner with my wife before COVID I was a regular at the bar there ordered rib steak medium done & got it rare by the time the server came my wife was done her meal took it back & cooked some more did not enjoy my food manager didn't even come to see us

j'étais invitée pour le dîner on à choisi d'attendre 20 minutes vu qu'il y fille d'attente l'ambiance au bar & le service correct... Au début les entrées arrivent chaudes bien soignées après pour les plats principales sont servis froides, sans parler de leur hamburger un plat vraiment décevant.Avec les prix exorbitant il fallait mieux surveiller la qualité de la nourriture,des assiettes pleines plus que la moitié des frites & le plat principal sans goût, Fade, froide, je voulais pas réclamer ça deux fois consécutive vu qu'il on essayer de réchauffer le steak de mon hamburger mais c'était sans goût sans fromage.Surveiller bien le service cuisine on paye pour avoir un service à la hauteu
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!
First time at the one on decarie. Really not a fan of the new decor. Food was ok. West Island BR still feels like a steak house & the food is better. It's all about the cooks in the back.

I need to get this off my chest: although it's been a while since the Baton Rouge on Rue des Jockeys in Montréal was renovated, I still haven't been able to get used to the new look. I really miss the old design - it had a warm, dark, almost classic steakhouse feel that gave the space a lot of character. It felt cozy, even a little upscale. Now, the atmosphere is colder & more minimal, & for me, something essential was lost in that change. I know some people might prefer the newer, more modern aesthetic - but personally, I find it a step backward.
That said, I keep coming back - & there's a reason for that. The service here is consistently excellent: attentive, professional, & always friendly. The food is just as good as ever. Their signature ribs are as tender & flavorful as you'd hope, & their hand-selected Canadian AAA steaks are always cooked to perfection, tender & beautifully marbled. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with anything on the appetizer menu either - everything is well-portioned, satisfying, & made to share. Their cocktails are another highlight - thoughtfully mixed & surprisingly refined for a casual grillhouse.
What really makes this location stand out is how versatile it is. Whether I've come here for a dinner date, a family meal, a birthday celebration, or even a business lunch, it's always delivered. The bar area also adds a nice touch for a more laid-back visit, which gives it even more flexibility.
It's not my favorite Baton Rouge location, simply because I miss the way it used to feel - but when it comes to food, service, & value, it still sets the bar. & for that, it remains a go-to.
Went for a group party. After realizing our table was broken the staff worked hard to fix the issue. Displacing us a few times. The salad I ordered was huge with the smallest portion of steak.
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!
Had the steak ,wife had lobster & shrimp, portions left us still hungry & gone within 20 minutes .
If you want to pay over 100$ & still be hungry its a great spot...
Save yourself the regret drive the extra 30 min to the nearest Keg.
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.
Se fut la première fois qu'on s'y rendait, le steak était très juteux ,on pouvait sentir la qualité ainsi que la fraîcheur de la viande sans compter la cuisson parfaite ! Baked potato est succulent Le serveuse ,une gentille demoiselle très attentionnée . À essayer & à adopter !
Lower priced option for a Lunch steak. It's been consistently good actually for the Steak Frite which comes with healthy helping of fries of Garlic Mash. It's not my first choice for a great SUPPER steak, BUT, at lunch, for a reasonable price, it is a good option. Also had their ribs & burgers there & they don't disapoint. Also had a few selections of soups which are Harty & very good tasting. Always leave there satisfied.
