Went last Friday night. Not impressed. If you want drinks, order beer. They can't mix anything at the bar. Appetizers are typical. Salads, . Steaks and fish were ok, hardly seasoned and nothing to write home about. Didn't want to find out what was for dessert. They have sandwiches and burgers also. I’ll give them another chance in a month when they break in the kitchen.

Here's the website

I know someone who works there. I haven't been. Doesn't look like anything great to me yet but I could be wrong :) The site is set up nice hahah so who knows?

I'll probably check it out after a while passes.

Except for the fact that most of the pictures of the food make it look horrible.

Menu looks very generic with an abundance of fried foods. I doubt if i ever make it to this place.

Just what Baton Rouge needed. Another chainesque purveyor of fine Sysco products.

why DOES EVERY fricking restaurant serve the same damn shite in BR ?? look at that fricking menu .. they might as well call that place and 70% of the other places in this town SYSCO DINER ... now two other fairly decent specialized restaurants couldn't make it there, but these jackbags think they have built the better mousetrap with a cookie cutter concept ?

This is from the guy who brought us Po-boy express. Just like the guys who bring us the crap at Las Palmas. They are in it to make money, not good food.

The Niche Bar & Grill is set to open on Siegen Lane before July. "We hope to catch the World Cup," says Ause Ismail, who will own the restaurant. Ismail's family owns and runs Po-Boy Express, which has four locations in Baton Rouge and Denham Springs. Niche Bar & Grill will feature staples such as hamburgers, po-boys and fried seafood and sell draft beer, but Ismail says it will be more than just a sports bar. It will occupy the old Los Gallos location; the Mexican restaurant failed to renew its lease. Plans are to hire 15 to 20 employees at the Niche. And where does the name come from? Economics classes Ismail took at LSU. "That word always stuck in my head. I figured 'Niche' would be a great name for a restaurant, and it's worked well," he says. —Timothy Boone

The more I try new places in and around Baton Rouge, the more I want to open my own restaurant.

If only I had a few million in capital...

To be honest, the menu bored me to tears as well.

At least you'll be used to it after AJS is born. I've never heard of La Reyna or Pinneta's, but we love Bistro Byronz and I dig Chelsea's for lunch.

It's so generic here. When we do eat out, we hardly ever go to a chain. I think the last chain we visited was P. F. Chang's.

PS, yes I am equating generic food with chains.

wowww why is everyone being so harsh to a restaurant so quickly...i went there on grand opening while i got the new iphone from at&t next door (they were the ones to recommend it)
we had the cheese sticks which were "homemade" and they were really good, i ordered the chicken philly and my friend got the pasta and both were good and they will be seeing me more as i appreciate a new place with great staff very friendly staff to us. btw their signature sauce is awesome gives u that extra kick

if it's located where i think it is, the location alone doesn't bode well for the future of this place.
