| - After hearing such rave reviews about this place, my friends and I decided to pay it a visit this past Friday.
As mentioned numerous times here already, the place is tiny and packed. All I could think of while I was waiting was this better be worth it. Unfortunately, it wasn't.
The ribs were certainly cooked correctly, as they were quite juicy. However, my friends and I agreed they were quite bland. The bbq sauce did add some flavour, but not much. As much as I generally detest chains, I think the ribs at Baton Rouge are much better than these.
The fried chicken was passable (the hot sauce helped), but again, I would have to give this one to the chains (KFC, Popeyes) as well.
My friends thought the brisket sandwich was pretty good, but to me, it was also so so. I did like the fries dipped in hot sauce though.
The final verdict: overhyped and underseasoned.
