Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar as a place with generous portions and solid options like ribs and steaks, with ribs repeatedly highlighted as a standout for tenderness and flavor. The atmosphere ranges from warm and inviting to upscale casual depending on location, and the bar area is a common highlight for those who sit there. Service is often praised as friendly and attentive, but some visits note slower service, occasional mix ups with bills, and moments of crowding or noise. Value is generally seen as fair to good for the quantity and quality, though a few comments call certain dishes bland or overpriced and a handful of locations are described as less consistent. Taken together, the experiences point to a dependable, family friendly spot that works well for dates, gatherings, and casual dinners, with standout ribs and solid overall quality when things run smoothly.

Food was good, but I have had better. I had the rib steak & found the quality was so so. Veggies are boiled & big - creativity or taste in making them a little more special would have been nice. The atmosphere is what you make it, & we had a nice time & did not feel pressured to leave.

Second time to this location while visiting Montreal. The appetizers of steak tartare & tempura shrimp were 10/10, both delicious! The main course Thai steak salad was just ok... nothing asian tasting about it which was a bit disappointing. The dressing was underwhelming & probably wouldn't order it again. Service was great, food came out fast, & overall another super meal. One small thing id recommend to the restaurant is that they need to turn the music volume down, it was just too loud. I will definitely return to this location when back in Montréal again & would recommend it to anyone!

Service exceptionnel & temps d'attente raisonnable pour un jeudi soir complet sans réservation pour nous; J'étais déçu de mes crevettes «Tempura» qu'il vaut mieux commander dans un bon restaurant japonais pour une friture plus légère; Ma salade césar avait un arrière goût de poisson... Aucune idée pourquoi. Mon père âgé s'est commandé un steak sans regarder le prix, le plus petit, à $75.00. Sa portion était quand même énorme pour lui, & la cuisson telle que demandée. Nous retournerons certainement, mais pour des spécialités plus abordables. (Burgers)

I'm writing this review not only about one time I've been there but two times I was there. Just from the first sentence you should consider this place when visiting Montréal or even if you're a resident. The reason is that when I'm on vacation I don't like going to the same restaurant twice because I've already been there & I prefer to find another place to explore more. Which brings me to the review itself. The staff at Bâton Rouge is really kind & understanding. They make sure to understand exactly what you want instead of assuming & ordering something you don't want. The reason I say this is because in a couple places I've been the server wasn't very kind & assumed our orders. But now onto the food. The first time I went I got myself their standard burger which I believe was named "Bâton Rouge Burger" but I could be wrong, I asked for no bacon on it because I've had a few bad experiences with bacon burgers. But bacon or no bacon I think the burger was amazing, honestly it was like an actual burger not like those from ©McDonalds or any other burger place. The second time I had a Ribeye steak & let me tell you, it was great. The steak was done medium well & turned out perfect with a hint of pink in the middle just as I expected, the surface was also dark brown just as it's supposed to be. I recommend getting the Ribeye when coming, they really care about what the quality of the food is. I really enjoyed my time at Bâton Rouge & I will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

J'y étais avec un groupe pour regarder un match de soccer. Ils ont des téléviseurs pour les événements sportifs, donc c'est cool. C'était bien mais sans plus. Je ne suis pas particulièrement impressionné par la cuisine. Ceci étant dit, c'est peut-être que c'est moins mon genre de restaurant (steakhouse) & que je m'attendais à un menu plus traditionnellement cajun vu le nom du resto. Ou c'est peut-être le malaise gastrique que j'ai eu plus tard en soirée. Je ne sais pas. Les crevettes tempuras étaient bonnes. Les ribs étaient bonnes. Les frites étaient plutôt oubliables à mon avis; en juliennes trop minces & petites, & elles n'étaient pas assez consistantes pour goûter la pomme de terre. La salade de choux était originale & savoureuse! Service courtois. Belle terrasse.

The steaks are not it. Better done home by my husband. They used to be good now very average.

Steak was mouth watering 😋, really do miss this place. Friendly staff & speedy service. Places at home in Barbados can't compare.

The rib steak left much to desire. Very veiny, I mean very veiny. It was so tough to cut that I had to constantly make sure everything else didn't go flying. The waiter was great, the atmosphere is what's to be expected, & there is no line up to get in. I'll try this place again at some point & hopefully it's as good as it normally is

I used to eat at Baton Rouge quite regularly, but stopped going there about 6 months ago. I almost always ordered the rib steak which came with slaw & a baked potato or fries. It was OK, but they kept raising the prices & when they raised it to $54, I didn't think it was such a good deal anymore. They probably raised the price again since I last ate there. After they did the renovations, they got really pissy about charging me $5 extra for a little extra sour cream on my baked potato beyond the little dab they give you. The manager Jimmy was a total prick, was extremely hostile & rude to me when I complained about the extra charge. I contacted head office the next day because of the rudeness & one of the assistant managers called me & promised me a complimentary steak dinner to apologize & show good will, but I was later contacted by the owner who reneged on that promise. After being subjected to a half hour lecture about why he didn't feel a free steak dinner was warranted, he promised he would "take care of me" next time I came in. After charging me full price PLUS $5 for extra sour cream, he gave me a $25 gift certificate good on my next visit. I went back one final time to use the credit toward a rib dinner which was awful. The "rack & a half" they offer on the menu, was, in reality, a rack & a tiny extra piece (about 1/10 of a rack for $8 extra) & it was overcooked & dry. The place to go is Marven's. I go there 2-3 times a month. They serve up a huge 16 oz rib steak which beats Baton Rouge to hell. It is delicious. In addition they include a huge Caesar salad & home fried potatoes all for $39. The service is amazing & they don't nickel & dime you for a little extra courtesy. Anybody who ever tries a rib steak at Marven's would never even think about returning to Baton Rouge. I don't like being reneged on after a promise had been made & I am done with Baton Rouge.

My goto place in mtl, everything I had from menu was good, highly recommended. Steak is better than the $100 steak across the street.

I come here for my favorite dish: the chimichurri steak. The atmosphere at the bar is nice.

Classic restaurant, steak was a bit cold when it arrived but taste great, octopus for sharing was enough for for one person.

The rib steak (with garlic & steak spice) & the fully loaded baked potato were delicious!

As a pescatarian I am pretty particular about my fish. I am often told that I should not have high expectations at a steakhouse, but in my experience, the chef at a highly rated steakhouse should know how to cook a good piece of fish, especially salmon!!! I haven't been to Baton Rouge in a long time, but if memory serves me, they did make an awesome piece of salmon. Unfortunately, in contrast to my memory, what was on my plate was nothing I was prepared for. When the plate arrived the fish smelled fishy- my first mistake was to not just give it back. I doused it in lemon juice hoping to cover up the cheap fish smell but it ate like it smelled. To top it off there were the most bland vegetables on the plate, a teeny ramekin with a tomato & onion salsa & another ramekin with a very so so sauce. To be honest, I may as well have been eating in a Denny's diner. Oh well, I guess all those naysayers were correct & I might have to up my game & pay a few bucks more at say....a Keg Steakhouse for a better piece of salmon.

Went there recently to celebrate my father's birthday & were treated like royalty. All of our food was delicious & looked spectacular when it hit the table. Besides that the overall service was top shelf & beyond. When we arrived we were originally quoted a 30 min wait but Mary & Natalie worked their magic & had us seated well before that. Our server ( I feel bad I forget her name) was pleasant, efficient & knowledgeable, made our ordering experience so enjoyable. We had steaks, ribs, a burger & spinach dip. Everyone's food was spot on. Thank you to Adam & Suri Brother & the rest of the kitchen staff as well as a huge Thank you to Dean for making this a great night. It's good to know that a bunch of Scoops can get a great meal here anytime.

I really like the potato soup, the ribs are great, & the steak. But I miss the desserts they use to have- I think the supplier changed.

Hubby & I went during lunch time to celebrate our anniversary. The soups & the steak were excellent. The ribs were nothing special. The mille-feuille was mediocre. Our experience with the staff wasn't very good. Our server was cold, never smiled. She put our dessert plates super fast at the corner of our table & left, like we were at a cheap diner. When we paid the bill, while saying it was all set, she took it fast & murmured a small "Thank you" while going to another direction. No eye contact, no "Have a good day". For the record, we were polite & left a 20% tip. To be completely honest, I even felt discriminated, because the server had a more positive attitude with other tables. At the end, we just didn't feel welcome. So we will go to La Cage next time, as we usually do.

Haven't been in years, being from the area I was disappointed.. The new decor is nice but the food was a bit underwhelming. Steak & mash are very good but portions small, 2 pieces of brocoli & one cauliflower.. Coleslaw doesn't taste the same. Steak was flooded with chimichurri instead of small bowl next to it. I'll settle for burgers next time. At that price I was expecting more.
