Bâton Rouge Steakhouse & Bar

This was a corporate event, with 35 friends and colleagues. The restaurant wasn’t busy and we made a reservation on top of it. The had plenty of notice to expect the large party.
Well, the steak was cold. The Pasta also was cold. I don’t mean Luke-​warm, it was actually cold.cold. The Long Island drink was mostly coke and not really with alcohol.
What a disaster! Don’t bother coming here.

We had dinner here last night and we had a great time!
We ordered the calamari & stuffed mushrooms. These mushrooms were much bigger than the Keg’s! They had weight to them and I love that they come in 4. (Canyon creek serves apps in 3s). The calamari wasn’t greasy like a lot of places. The dipping sauce was so good.
Our mains were the Oscar steaks and they were delicious! The mashed potatoes were very creamy. Everything tasted great!
Service was excellent. The down side is that the bathrooms are downstairs. I had on heels. I didn’t struggle or anything by any means, it just may be an issue for some people.
I said I’d return for drinks & apps. I’d love to sit on their patio next time.

We came here for our dinner one evening and were seated in a fancy booth which has was nice and private and on the wall, had hooks to hang out coats which was a nice touch! Waitress was lovely and friendly and very attentive! I had chosen a lobster poutine to start, followed by a traditional burger with garlic mash and it was yummy! My fiancé had garlic mushrooms to start (it was too small a portion for him so he helped me eat my poutine as my portion was as big as a main, and looked more appetising), followed by steak and mash with roasted veg. Can’t remember the specifics of the steak but the mash was beautiful, the veg, not so much. And the steak was lovely! I also ordered a slice of red velvet, but didn’t enjoy it! (Was my own mistake, the icing was marzipan which I don’t like). And also the lunar eclipse cocktail is gorgeous if you’re looking for somethin sweet!
Atmosphere was relaxing and lights were dimmed. Music in the background and it had a nice ambience to it! Would go back again :) free parking around the back and free wifi upon request of the password!

Came here with the family, a group of 7.
Food:
The food was pretty good, I ordered the Blackened Cajun Steak… But when I arrived, they had given me a normal steak with no seasoning at all.
At the same time, my aunt was left sitting there with no food. The waitress didn’t even notice until we pointed it out. She then went to the back to find out what happened to our orders.
They promptly came back with a normal steak for her and a properly seasoned steak for me.
Service:
Adequate service, not great though. We had too many waitresses serving our table that didn’t seem to be communicating with each other and one of them seemed to make us feel very rushed, and the attitude she showed when I spoke up about my unseasoned steak was a little annoying.
The good thing was she was prompt with getting us the food
Overall:
It’s pretty okay. Would maybe go to a different location but the environment was nice and on point.

I’m sure most of the problems with my last visit to Baton Rouge were due to the restaurant having huge groups of people at the time. So, read this review with that background in mind: hiccups and mistakes are expected.
The restaurant itself is built into a heritage house, and boasts multiple rooms for large parties and a more intimate dining space. The décor and features are pretty lovely, although evidence of much needed work can be found in peeling paint and worn wood.
A lot of things went wrong during my visit. Tea arrived cold at the table and they completely forgot my meal. I suppose there was a rush to get it out in the kitchen, as the fries were uncooked and bendy, the burger was unseasoned and the onion rings were cold. Not enjoyable, other than the side Caesar salad.
I suppose I would try Baton Rouge again with only a few people to see if the service and quality are better. Seemed like people at my table enjoyed the chicken tenders and ribs, so I suppose it wasn’t a 1-​star afternoon for everyone.

Took my wife here for her bday on Dec 5^th. I had made reservations ahead of time and indicated it was her bday. The whole night, no one acknowledged this fact which I felt was quite disappointing. For the price, the food is horrible. They boast about their ribs and it was about as good as anything I could find in the supermarket. The baked beans were stale, the fries soggy. The server did a good job.

Great place for ribs and steak. Easy to find parking and lots of space. Great family restaurant.

Went to this location for the first time for a belated anniversary dinner. The restaurant looked nice and it had a similar ambiance as The Keg with the dim rooms. I liked the spacing of the booths as it felt semi-​private as the booths kind of had a private feel in the little nooks of the place.
We each ordered our drinks and then our entrees. My husband ordered a soup of the day with his meal. We sat there for about 15 minutes without anyone bringing us bread or the soup. We finally asked for some bread and they literally brought us ONE bun on a plate (see photo). They eventually clued in and brought us a proper bread basket. Then, the entrees arrived and my husband’s soup hadn’t even arrived. We asked our server about the soup and he apologized and said it was on its way. We had both ordered our steaks medium rare but one came out with a nice red medium rare and the other one was pink. We sent back the overcooked steak and my husband at least got to enjoy his soup without worrying about his steak getting cold. However, it took so long for his steak to arrive that by the time it did, I was done my meal. As it was our anniversary dinner, the experience was pretty much ruined. The server barely acknowledged the several mistakes being made and no manager was sent over. I’ve been to the Baton Rouge on Hwy 7 and the service is a complete contrast to this location. Complete disappointment and ruined anniversary dinner.

This place has hit rock bottom since it’s debut years ago. terribly unqualified staff and horrible food. I had so much love for BR but something has gone a stray lately. I did give it a few tries but it’s been getting worse if that’s possible

A worse dinner experience.
Baby staff, running around with the restaurant half full. First hostess dressed in lingerie, unfriendly. Food below par. Waiter disappeared for 20 min; asked to walk to the bar to pay with credit card; handed over a tiny Styrofoam container for me to pack the food. The restaurant was cold and drafty. Nothing good to say about it. Maybe that it’s a five star McDonald’s. True. Do not go! Better sevice, food and environment for the same money somewhere else.

Had the pleasure of dining here with 14 of my family members for a very special birthday. From Michelle the manager, to the appetizers, main courses, desserts and our awesome server Mike everything was perfect! Service was really top notch. Ribs were absolutely amazing!

I would definitely come back just to order the fries. They are simply amazing. Like nonstop gorging.
Ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich $ 15 with a side of fries. Not bad, chicken was alright but a bit of a mess to eat. Can’t say its got that X factor.
Friends had the ribs which was in my opinion meh as I’ve had better at Smash. They said its been a lot better before.
Quick service and the place was quiet.

it was too dark for me. the booth seats were horrible, very very uncomfortable. i could not sit still, i had to get up every so often. there were not enough waiting staff imo. our waiter seemed not that knowledgeable about the menu. he forgot to mention a few things that were free for my daughter. i had to ask him!
i will never come back here again. sorry!

Great atmosphere and very romantic. The service is good and the food is fantastic. I always order the Louisiana BBQ Chicken. Their fries is out of this world. Their BBQ sauce is addicting! I also asked for Cajun Mayo for the fries added alot of flavor. The only down is that the coleslaw salad was disappointing. Thats all everything else was amazing. I highly recommend it. Bön appetit

First time going to Baton Rouge. My experience was less than stellar. The lights were dim and the fonts on the menu were small
They offered prime rib and underneath the options included Pittsburgh style which I thought why not. Apparently it’s not really possible so that means their menu organization isn’t well done. The server wasn’t really communicating too well with me so I just gave up and said just give me the medium rare prime rib. They offered to pan sear it but it will make it medium so I declined.
I ordered it with mixed veggies and house salad. I am hoping it is included with the meal because as I said before the fonts were small and it is dark.
My wife ordered ribs and chicken. Then the server tried to up sell the soup and salad which apparently was not included in the meal. Sneaky and well worth more than one star deducted just for that.
The house salad was first to arrive and it wasn’t too bad. However, the way it was placed just reminded me of a Chinese restaurant where the plate was just dropped in front if me. Not the type of service level you would expect from a place like this.
Eventually the prime rib arrived. Bloody thing was tough to cut considering it is medium rare. Not the typical experience I get from Keg.
The server then asked me how my meal was. I had indicated that the food I got was tough, but the fact that I ate half of it already I told her not to bother changing it. Normally at keg the manager comes by to try and rectify the situation more which I also usually decline but no such luck here. I doubt the server even told the manager.
So that was it just got the bill and tipped less than stellar amount because the service and the general food quality of my entrée was not up to par.
Mind you it’s just the luck of the draw with the service. Comparing against the tables beside me who got other servers I think we just had one of the bad batch.
I doubt I will ever come here again.

Nice quiet classy dining with an expected $$$ price! I didn’t realize this was a chain I suppose in Canada? I was expecting some maybe Cajun style cuisine but was disappointed. But my filet was fairly tender and had a good taste. Good solid service with plenty of attention to my needs and wants. I’d return again at a later date.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars against other chain sit-​down restaurants.
This Baton Rouge is my favourite Baton Rouge location. The food is fresher, more care is taken into preparing the dishes, and the service is friendly and top notch. Moreover, I like this location because of the uniqueness of the place. Built in a remodelled farm house it is quint, stylish, and feels like something so much better than the area it is in (surrounded by a mall and a bunch of other chain restaurants).
My wife ordered the beet and goat cheese salad and it was big, and she said it tasted delicious. I had the ribs; which is what Baton Rouge is known for and what I highly recommend. They are the best ribs in town; I have tried the ribs in dozens of other places, but this is the place to go for ribs.
We will return.
Note: lots of individuals rooms that are great for groups and parties.

I absolutely love Baton Rouge (the Thornhill location) but decided to have dinner with a couple of friends at the Scarborough location. Such a horrible location! I don’t know if it’s management or what, but, everything was different for some reason.
My friends and I always end up ordering appetizers at the Thornhill location and we decided to do the same at the Scarborough location. We always order the same thing, the spinach nacho dip — and so we did! However, when the appetizer came out, it was ½ the serving size of the one we get from the Thornhill location, and it was the same price.
However, the exact same thing happened with our meals. Keep in mind, the prices are pretty expensive, but, you truly get what you pay for ONLY at the Thornhill location, NOT at the scarborough location. Our fries were SO little compared to what we usually get. I always end up having to take some home with me for the next day. However, at this location, the fries were so little! We ended up also ordered an additional side of dip for the fries. We never get charged extra for this dip but at this location we did.
We ended up asking about the portion of the fries and later, our waitress brought us a plate of fries and apologized, except we never knew she was charging us for it! it was her idea to bring it out for us. Once we got our bill, we complained and they made us pay for it.
Baton Rouge in general is a great restaurant, but this location was horrible!

Came here for a spontaneous family dinner on Saturday night and had a lovely experience. I’ve been to several Baton Rouge locations but this was my first visit to the new location and the Old Scott House… had a great experience overall and can’t wait to go back.
I came with husband, my two kids, my dad and my MIL during their Mardi Gras event. The waitress was incredibly accommodating and took our kids’ meal order earlier so the children could start eating. The $ 10 kids’ chicken tender meal came 3 huge chicken tenders (not the usual breaded tenders but batter fried chicken breast strips) and vegetables on the side (I ordered extra soft).
My husband and I ordered the Mardi Gras special ($ 25) which was the 10 oz rib dinner accompanied by a salad (crispy onions!) and dessert (key lime pie). For my sides I ordered the hot cinnamon apples and baked skillet beans. I also got a taste of the French fries and coleslaw from my husband. My ribs were fall-​off-​the-​bone perfect like I expect from Baton Rouge. My MIL’s fries were a bit salty and the coleslaw could have used more acid, but still loved the food overall.
The waitress was nice enough to give us two orders of ice cream for the kids even though we only ordered one kids’ meal and wow, these cups of ice cream were huge! Delicious vanilla ice cream with visible vanilla bean seeds… I had to have some for myself :) We ate the key lime pie the next day and it was delicious as well… just the perfect amount of tartness and a very yummy crust. Already planning my next visit…

I dont know what happened to this place Ive been before and had no problem. The worst though is when me and my friend went to Baton Rouge for a party where there was over 15 guest. My order was forgotten as well as my friends we were waiting even for a drink they kept forgetting us. we just felt that probably there was too many people to serve. Don’t get me wrong I still love the food especially those chicken tenders but I don’t think forgetting we were there by the waiter was necessary. I will still visit again. I hope the service improves next time

Huge servings, welcoming staff, beautiful location!
I am a big fan of baton rouge, and this has to be my favourite location. My boyfriend and I made a reservation thinking that on a Friday night the restaurant might be packed. Fortunately this location is beyond spacious and when we requested a quiet space they placed us in a separate room with only one other table of diners. Despite being hidden away in a quiet area, we were checked on often. Food was fantastic and our waiter was not afraid to make recommendations for us. A minor mistake was made with my dinner (an accommodation I asked for that is not typical) and they not only fixed it for me with a fresh new plate, they also removed the item from the bill.
I am under the impression that they have closed down for some renovations, but that they will be open again soon. Once they open back up, I will be going to see the changes and delight in the amazing experience again.

Good place to eat and relax. Very elegant dining. We had lunch today. I had BBQ ribs and coleslaw, chicken tender and fries for my daughter for $ 35.00 tax and tip included. They have lunch menus that are very affordable. Service was good. I really love the place and they have private dining rooms.
They have a couple of private rooms good for special occasions.
Been here a couple of times. And I love it.

Mmm… ribs! According to their website, Baton Rouge is known for their ribs, and I have to say that they’re pretty tasty. Fall-​off-​the-​bone tender, there was just the right amount of bbq sauce on the ribs which I had served with a generous helping of thick cut steamed veggies. I wasn’t over the moon, but I felt they were tastier than some of the fair-​winner bbq ribs I’ve had. Next time I would want to try out their tuna steak salad.
The restaurant exterior looks like a mansion, so I wasn’t sure what to expect on the inside — I certainly wasn’t expecting the small parking lot to be completely full! The interior is all dim lighting and rich dark browns and reds. It’s a nice, safe, intimate and impressive enough place for an early-​on date.
Dessert was an apple cobbler which was mediocre at best and I might have imagined a bit of freezer burn. Skip dessert and go for the drinks!
