We had a really great lunch at T J Ribs restaurant. The baby back ribs are some of the best I have ever eaten. The beef brisket appetizer was also delicious. The atmosphere is almost like a museum of LSU sports history. Our server was very friendly and attentive. A very nice experience.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the full rack of ribs at TJ Ribs, and I can confidently say this is hands-down the best rib experience I’ve had in years. This isn’t just good barbecue; it’s legendary.
From the moment the plate arrived, the aroma of smoke and perfectly caramelized rub was intoxicating. The “full rack” is a generous, impressive portion that looks exactly how perfect ribs should.
But the real magic happens when you take the first bite. The meat was incredibly tender, practically sliding off the bone with zero resistance—the true sign of slow, expert cooking. The flavor profile was a masterful balance: deep smokiness, a savory rub, and a tangy-sweet barbecue sauce that complemented, rather than overpowered, the meat. Every single rib was consistently moist and flavorful right to the bone.
If you are a rib enthusiast, ordering the full rack at TJ Ribs is an absolute must. It’s perfect for sharing, or if you’re like me, for savoring every last bite yourself. Five stars aren’t enough—I’ll be back soon!

The food is consistently delicious, the ribs are tender and packed with flavor, and the portions are generous. Service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming.

The evening in Baton Rouge moves like molasses—slow, thick, inevitable. The air hangs heavy with heat and the lingering perfume of woodsmoke and spice, the scent of something coaxed, not forced, into existence. There’s an unspoken rule here: you don’t rush the good things. And right now, I want something worth waiting for.
So I find myself at TJ Ribs, where LSU’s legends don’t just hang on the walls—they loom. Their ghosts sit in the booths, nodding in silent approval, watching over a menu that doesn’t waste time with nonsense. It’s barbecue, done right. I don’t hesitate. I order the full rack.
When it arrives, it’s everything it should be. A plate of ribs that have known patience, given over to time and smoke like some kind of slow Southern prayer. First, the dry rub, deep and knowing. Then the low heat, the long wait, the transformation. Fire at the end, but just enough—because the ribs don’t need to be drowned in sauce. They need to be honored.
Potato salad on the side, the cool, starchy pause before the next bite. Slaw, crisp and clean, like a deep breath between sips of sweet tea that drips condensation onto the table.
I take my time, because a meal like this isn’t just about eating—it’s about understanding. This is food with history, ribs with a story, and a place where tradition doesn’t just sit in a glass case—it sits next to you at the bar. Billy Cannon frozen in mid-stride, Pistol Pete caught in a flicker of impossible grace, Shaq with that unmistakable grin like a man carrying more than just a team. Some restaurants serve food. TJ Ribs serves memories.
And as I walk out into the thick Baton Rouge night, the taste still lingers—smoke, spice, the weight of something done right. Some places fade. Some things get lost. But not here. Here, history isn’t just told. It’s eaten.

In need of a last minute catering order and TJ Ribs was great! They were so nice and accommodating and were so easy to work with. All the guests at the event the food was served at loved it, and asked where it was from.

Went here for the first time tonight and was very pleased. Our waitress, Kat, was very kind and efficient. We had one small issue and she rectified it immediately and gave us a better alternative.
Would definitely recommend the shrimp and chimichangas!

TJ Ribs is still dishing out the heat! I ordered the barbecue shrimp and barbecue chicken, and both entrées were absolutely delicious. The shrimp came as eight jumbo Gulf shrimp sautéed in a rich lemon garlic butter sauce, served over creamy mashed potatoes with garlic bread on the side — a perfect balance of flavor and comfort.
The chicken entrée was a leg quarter servedwith potato salad, baked beans, garlic, and toast. It was hearty, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.
Each entrée also came with the option of a garden salad, house salad, or a baked potato with butter and sour cream, which made the meal feel complete.
For dessert, I tried the bread pudding. While I appreciated the effort, I didn’t care for the chocolate morsels mixed in — it wasn’t quite my style. That said, the main dishes more than made up for it, and I left satisfied and impressed.

If it wasn’t for our server Leesi having a horrible attitude I believe we would have enjoyed our food and the atmosphere more. Rolling eyes. Not a “you’re welcome” couldn’t even look at us to get our order. On another note… my brother and his wife got their drinks after our bar drinks. STILL had to ask for their drinks. We got appetizers before our drinks. Had to ask 3 times for ranch. I have never had such bad a bad experience where I come on here and write a bad review. But considering I’m a bartender/server this girl needs to be checked before a costumer checks her.

Wonderful staff and the food was great. They have something for everyone. The fried green tomatoes were so good. Our server was very helpful when we were trying to figure out what to order.

I’ve been eating here for many years. The menu has continued to diminish and the prices go up. They took a lot of the good items off the happy hour menu slowly but surely. Beginning with the fried chicken sandwich. They have now eliminated many side items including onion rings. Which, in my opinion, was the best thing on the menu. You will be hard pressed to get out of here with no drinks for less than $25. Drinks are very expensive too unless you catch the “domestics” on happy hour for half price. Domestic doesn’t mean made in the US anymore. It is garbage like Bud Light, Miller light, Coors, etc. unfortunately I won’t be back.
