re: Rate the barbeque joints in baton rouge

Actually tried Deep South for lunch today (first time). I got the craving after reading this thread and since I work at Exxon I figured what the hell.

I was actually really good and they give you a good amount of food (3 meat combo w/ 2 sides bread and bread-pudding = $10)

Out of the places I've tasted I rank:

1. Pimanyoli's (good all around)
2. Deep South (also all around good, really liked the ribs and their sauce)
3. Big Jakes (I really like the pulled pork and chopped up brisket sandwiches are very good)
4. Sucker's (I thought this place was good and reasonably priced)

If you're looking for good brisket, I had some from Whole Foods a couple of weeks back and it was very good (prob best brisket in B.R.).....had a nice smoke ring.

P.S.---Jay's BBQ and French Dip are some of the worst I've ever tasted. Very little food, with no taste.......I'll never eat there again...just my opinion.
