Tried this place today for lunch. Barbecue in Baton Rouge is generally not very good. This guy, on the other hand, knows what he's doing. I'd put him up there with Barbosa's stuff. The brisket and house made sausages were on point. They serve St. Louis ribs and usually people around here serve them a little tough or pretty greasy. His just slide off the bone, have that tooth you get from St. Louis ribs (vs. baby backs) without being chewy, and were minimal on the greasy fat. I didn't try the chicken, so I can't speak to how well he does that. I usually don't pimp restaurants, but when someone is doing something good, they deserve some run, ESPECIALLY when they're in a difficult location like that.

They're in the building Fernando's used to be in across Coursey from the Investar Tower (where the Clerk of Court's office used to be). Give them a try.

Hope he makes it.

Tried it a few weeks ago.... the brisket was great. It wasn't quite there with some of the TX stuff I've had, but way better than anything I've had around BR.

I hate to say it but that location makes it really hard to anything there to succeed

I love BBQ so I'll be checking it out for sure.

Hannah Q and Smoking Aces have been my two go-to's for BBQ when I don't cook it myself.

thanks for the heads up my office is right around the corner and I never noticed it was there. You’re right that location has been a graveyard

Brisket is very good as is the pulled pork. The few sides that I've tried so far have been underwhelming.


ETA: Saw on the Nextdoor app where someone was upset that they were closed when they went. Sign on the outside said sold out of BBQ. Others responded with that's how a good BBQ place operates. No heating up meats, when what you've made for the day sells out, you shut it down.
