Looks like this place is finished up. Drove by today and just wanted to try it out and see if anything changed up. Saw that the signage was down and covered up but the place was open with crews coming in and out. Lady at the counter said the BBQ never took off and are changing it up to a Pizza joint instead. Always nice people when I popped in occasionally, but the food went downhill bad. Had a good chopped brisket sandwich when they opened, then just started tasting like baked brisket with flavorless sides. Hope the new concept makes it.

it was mediocre BBQ with good sides, just like every other BBQ place in Baton Rouge. Nice people though I hope they hit on something that works

Yeah I gave it a shot and it was not very good. Unfortunately.

Smoke Bayou currently reigning BR BBQ champ though I am following Offset BBQ and waiting patiently for them to open. The guy is putting in some serious work to learn the trade. I see he has taken some classes from pit masters in Texas to include Leroy and Lewis and has gotten some legit smokers made from Primitive Pits.

Parking and prices drive me away. I’m in that area for lunch sometimes and would prefer a lower cost lunch.

Not sure about competing with Red Zepp, at least it's on the right side of the road for the afternoon sun. With Rock Paper Taco and Govt Tacos closing, think I would test a taco joint there. I'd much rather compete w/ Zippy's.

Unleaded was alright by me. Food was good, not great, and having a playground is great for families. Enjoyed bringing my kids there and letting them romp while I got a few minutes to eat and have a beer in peace.

Pizza in BR is also largely just okay, so maybe they can do that better. Red Zep will be hard to compete against for atmosphere, and maybe tbe best pizza in br.
