Went yesterday.
Greens and spoon bread very good. Brisket was basic BR bbq. Fatty, no smoke ring and very small portion. Overall B- understanding it’s week 1.

Have you tried Hannah Q on Bluebonnet? I went recently and thought it was pretty solid compared to what BR has to offer. I wonder how it compares to Unleaded BBQ

I went because it has good reviews, and I didn't like it at all. I'm pretty particular about BBQ though.
Oak and Smoke is the best in BR without question.

My review from other thread
This is exactly what you get at this place.
Ribs: 2/10 dry, chewy and weird burnt pepper flavor
Brisket: 9/10 The saving grace of my plate. Brisket was seasoned, juicy on inside and crispy on the outside. nice smoke ring.
Beans: 2/10 Beans were like a navy bean soup. Needed a spoon instead of a fork
Coleslaw: 6/10 not terrible
Bread: 5/10 Texas toast sized white bread untoasted was a little stale and dry
pickles: 8/10 The sliced pickles were pretty good
Sauces: The Unleaded BBQ sauce was decent. don't waste your time with the Honey Garlic or Sweet sauce.
The interior buildout was nice. Since it is an old gas station (hence the name), the dining area opens via garage door into an outdoor area. The bar seemed well stocked. The air conditioned part of the interior seating seems a little crowded.
Service: A little wonky as they are working out the kinks but it is a walk up order place.
I will need to give this place time before going back.

opening right before football season will give them a huge initial boost. I know the owne, he is a really nice guy and I'm always rooting for him to succeed. he's always had awesome barbeque for gatherings, but i know how difficult it is when you're also running a business.

bbq is just astronomically hard when scaling up to commercial quantities

Truer words were never spoken. I do small-time catering jobs and when it comes to BBQ, you better have the right equipment to hold your meats until service. I'm doing an engagement party next weekend for ~70ppl and the only reason I took it was because all they want is pulled pork.

Yep, there has to be a huge demand at lunch or else it won't last or be very good. All the great places in Texas do a killer lunch where they sell out of most things. That's because their BBQ is cooked to be served at lunch. It is smoked the day before, held overnight and then sliced to order for lunch service. If you aren't doing that, it won't be any good.

It is doable though. Is it just the Baton Rouge settles for garbage and why?

BR doesn't settle for garbage, hence why we don't have any BBQ places 
Posted on 9/1/22 at 2:51 pm to Deactived
Idk that Baton Rouge settles for garbage, there just hasn’t been any real BBQ places try to open up. Judging by the pictures it looks like he’s cooking on an Oyler, I’ll have to go see for myself though. I always wonder about doing smoker chicken, unless you confit it that skin is almost guaranteed to be rubber when you try to hold and serve. Real bbq is a lot of time, for not much payback. Unless you are moving a lot of meat and being creative with your scraps. That’s what impressed me the most about helping out at Goldee’s, they literally waste nothing. Even onion peels get used lol.

When's your next trip over? What other joints you plan on hitting?

I’ve been a few times. Went once and they were cool and I was willing to work (even though I was on vacation from work) so it’s pretty much an open door policy now.

Some time before the end of the year. Bringing my smoker to a guy in Fort Worth who bought it and cooking for a party he will be having. Definitely going back to Goldee’s, hope to finally check out Brix. Will probably drive down to Austin to come home and go back to Rollin Smoke for sure and finally try La Barbecue. Wouldn’t surprise me if I make my trip end on a Sunday so I can go to Burnt Bean for breakfast, one of my favorite things to do in all of BBQ.

I mean, I think BR would happily support good BBQ. You can't create something from nothing. If there's nobody willing to open a place doing BBQ here, we can't pull someone out of thin air.
This assumes we've had Terry Blacks open up shop and BR rejected them and shut them down.

Maybe hit up Brett's in Katy for lunch on your way back to LA.
