I normally get the grilled veggie sandwich


Hey me too. If you haven't had it yet, the one at Bldg5 is awesome. I had it for the first time this past weekend. Swapped out the ciabatta it comes on for the multigrain bread so it was closer to CP's version.

Bldg 5 is my least favorite restaurant in the whole world


They have like one meat thing. I’m not sure what they call it on the menu but it’s like a slab of beef fat on bread with lettuce. If you’re gonna be a vegan restaurant just put it on the sign. Don’t put like one meat thing on the menu and do it poorly to try to appease regular people

I’ve also heard “the big guy” is involved with bldg 5

Although, I can't see your particular gripe, the dinner menu of this place does seem like an awful lot of work for someone just wanting to get something to eat. Jeesh!

Oh sorry they have 3 meat things on the menu

It seems like they planned to be a vegan restaurant and decided at the last minute that it wouldn’t work in Baton Rouge

When I went Saturday at lunch we had a server. I hadn't been in over a year before that, so unsure the normal protocol.

Bldg5's style of food isn't always what I'm craving, but it's the perfect place when someone wants to get lunch/dinner and you don't want to consume a bunch of fried/unhealthy stuff. I actually like how vegetable forward the menu is, as I feel like so many places don't offer nearly enough vegetable dishes.

Sweet. Hope they made that change. Much like you haven’t been there in awhile.

I’ve had the one at Bldg 5 and, although good, I like CP’s better. Maybe it’s the goat cheese but it’s my favorite!

I don’t feel so bad about getting charged $3.25 for a 6 oz bottled Diet Coke at BRQ!

another thing, it blows my mind that you would order bbq anywhere in LA much less a sandwich based restaurant. to be that short sighted is one thing but to bitch about it on here like karen on yelp is another. you probably order steak at applebees. stick to your posts about picking baw.

Some of y’all are flat out nuts.

This Louisiana not having good barbecue schtick needs to go. We may not have an authentic Texas bbq joint, but you can find bbq worth enjoying.

It blows your mind that someone would order barbecue ANYWHERE in the state of Louisiana?

I’m guessing you’ve never been to CP on Highland. It’s not a sandwich shop like the other two locations. It’s a full service, sit down restaurant, not a counter service deli. The menu focuses on their plates, not their sandwiches.

Don’t consider the Jefferson location a sandwich shop, the Perkins location in closed.

You've obviously not been to City Pork on Jefferson because it is not a sandwich shop but a full-service, sit down restaurant that doesn't have counter service either.

I went once or twice. I found the meat boards to be very dry and bland.

You wouldn’t happen to be Louisiana.lady on tik tok?

I know good and well that chick posts somewhere on TD. Doesn’t seem like your type of subject matter though.

Had brunch at the Jefferson location yesterday. Buddy ordered a beermosa for $8. When he got his check it said $12. The waitress was also confused because it definitely said $8 on the menu and they removed $4 from his bill...but why was it in the system as $12? And is it like that for other food items?


Did the thread ever address this post? I mean this is criminal at best, fraudulent at worst if the above is factual.
