The two star description of "Meh, I've experienced better" describes Baton Rouge very well. I used to really enjoy coming here years ago - not sure if the food was better back then, or if it was when eating out was a novelty to me.
Baton Rouge certainly doesn't do anything for me now. The ribs are tasteless, and the sauce is uninspiring. They were cold when they got to my table (and when we walked in the place was empty so it wasn't busy at all). Seems like my plate was cooling on the counter until we finished my fish chowder soup. I chose the apples and the beans as sides, and they were decent.
The service was good - the waitress did come by a few ribs in. When I mentioned the heat issue, she had it reheated (I'm assuming on a grill) and resauced. I was asked if I wanted a refill for my drink.
The rest of my table seemed to enjoy what they ordered (ahi tuna salad and pulled pork mac and cheese). They certainly looked more appealing then my meh meal.
I might be coerced back to try something else (maybe a dish that trusted Yelpers have enjoyed) but I won't be going back anytime soon. I deem this as a tourist trap based on where it is (in the Eaton Centre).
