I was recommended to this place by some locals. They didn’t disappoint me. The service was great and the food (BBQ) was delicious. I had the 3 meat plate, pulled pork, brisket, and baby back ribs w/ green beans. They give you 4 different sauces with your plate, they were all great. I also had a Texas Tea Drink that was very good. Cheers to the bartender! I absolutely recommend that you try this place if you’re ever in Baton Rouge.

I had lunch here with an old friend. The atmosphere is lively, colorful and very casual. There is a full cocktail bar with seating if desired. The food is good and barbecue is the specialty, though they have a pretty varied selection. Our server was very friendly but could have been a bit more attentive. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

I’ve eaten here twice now and had a wonderful experience both times!! Our server Sofie this past visit was especially friendly and helpful and made sure we had the best experience possible. We sat on the front porch, which is quiet and pleasant even in the summer due to the fans!
All of the BBQ is delicious, especially with the vinegar, mustard, and pickles. I highly recommend anything with the pretzel buns like the Sammich or slider trio!! The carrot cake is absolutely glorious and fully worth the price—an immense amount of just-sweet-enough, perfectly baked carroty goodness. Just make sure you have either a big party or a plan for the leftovers if you order it!

One of my favorite places to grab a drink! They have a great bar selection and drink menu with lots of local brews as well. Their food is great as well.

Came for lunch after a morning at the zoo. My wife and I both got the Little Q. The food was excellent. Both the pulled pork and pulled chicken were flavorful and juicy. The selections of BBQ sauces were delicious and paired well with the meats. And even though the coleslaw was not as moist as I like it, it went very well with the meats. We also had the cheesecake for desert, and it was huge. Don’t change a thing, the food was delicious! Oh, and the pickles were so good we had to get some to take home. We will definitely be returning.

This place is absolutely amazing. We don’t live in the area, we actually live on the coast of Mississippi, but we always make it a point to stop here whenever we come through. We have literally timed out our travel several times in order to hit this place at dinner time! Cody was our waiter tonight and he did an outstanding job! Super attentive, and went above and beyond to make our experience awesome! If you’ve never been here, here’s your sign

Had a great time here. Fast service, the food was delicious and fairly priced. I wish I had more room for dessert but I’ll save that for next time!

The food was delicious as always. The staff is really friendly and efficient. The dining room accommodates large and small parties. Very nice bar with decent day to day happy hour crowd. I had the Chicken Mamou, which was quite delicious, came with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. I would definitely recommend BRQ over and over as one of the best on Jefferson.

The salmon was tiny , the carrot cake was huge , the atmosphere is like you eat in a gym .. too tall too windy , one hour before the closing two tables inside but all the employees run around crazy busy with the closing tasks. They put the chairs upside down on the table all away around you. The food was great , the drinks awesome.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, and big portions! We went as a family of 6 during lunch. We were sat quickly and waited on. Our waitress was knowledgeable regarding crowd favorites and the menu options available. Our favorites from the dishes were the pulled pork, crawfish/shrimp Alfredo, lump crab cakes, and the mashed potatoes. Not to mention you get complimentary sweet pickles and kettle chips instead of the typical bread, so fun and different! Alright y’all some facts on this carrot cake. The ONE ORDER of carrot cake feeds 10-12 people, the whole cake is as big as a spare tire, and it is so richly delicious with cream cheese frosting. And y’all, I don’t even like carrot cake and I licked my plate clean! The building is children friendly, had a ramp and open floor plan for wheelchair access, and there’s bar seating. Definitely check this place out!
