Oak & Smoke truck, best in BR in my opinion. They'll be at Rally Cap Brewing Friday and Saturday.

You might as well be looking for authentic Italian food in Mexico. The BBQ scene in BR is horrible.

My favorite is Hannah Q, and even then it's not very good. You're best bet is to find out if Oak and Smoke is going to be anywhere. Never had them, but heard they weren't that bad.

BRQ is overpriced but still decent. Has anyone tried that new BBQ place on Perkins next to the overpass?

Not much good barbecue in Baton Rouge. Deep South barbecue in North Baton Rouge is actually the best I’ve found. Tip: I would not go there at night.

Couyon’s in Port Allen and, believe it or not, Whole Foods.

The Shed on Burbank has great BBQ and will be showing the LSU baseball game at noon Saturday and has live music in the evenings.

Y’all need to check out a place called Smoke Bayou. It’s a new small mom n pop place but they are legit. Easily the best ribs I’ve had in Baton Rouge.

BBQ in Baton Rouge is in a sad state. It seems all the good ones just randomly close down. Smoking Aces was solid and they closed out of nowhere. So was the one on Coursey (forget the name) before there was a takeover.

It’s not Texas level, but Sonny’s is good for what it is. And it’s consistent. Stay away from brisket and all the other meats are fine.

Cou-Yon’s in Port Allen is also good and also a quick trip.

Hannah Q used to be my top tier for BBQ but two very poor visits in a row has me questioning them.

Whole Foods does a bang up job as well, which should also tell you all you need to know about the scene here.

TJ Ribs remains popular though I haven’t eaten there in years.

Wish there was better advice for you. I’d say stick to pork or chicken and you’ll be fine at any of these places.

Sonny’s on Florida Blvd. but you better go with a Seal Team.

Sonny's BBQ way out on Florida is pretty good
