Old School BBQ & Smokehouse — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

Great service! All of our food was delicious. We got the nachos as our appetizer(substituted chicken instead of pork), which was a very generous portion. Easily enough to share with 4 people.

I had the ribs, sausage, and chicken plate, potatoes and beans. I also ordered brisket on the side, to try. The rib meat came easily off the bone. Sausage was done well with crispy exterior and they were a little spicy, which was great! The chicken was smoky and flavorful. Potatoes were seasoned well and the beans were thick, creamy, delicious, and even had some cut up chicken chunks in it. (Highly recommend)

My fianceé got the shredded smoked chicken & cheese monster tater, which was large and full of chicken and toppings. (Very good)

Overall, everything was delicious. The brisket comes marbled(fatty) but you can ask for lean cut, if you prefer. Personally, I prefer marbled)

There's plenty of seating available and the tables are spread out decently, so you're not backing into someone behind you. They also have outdoor benches and tables to sit and relax. Restroom was clean. Interor decor was also nice. There's a bar inside for adult beverages and more than enough televisions inside with lots playing, from sports, to movies. They also have live music at times.

Go try it, you...

I really wanted to try the brisket here but, they were out so settled for the ribs and and smoked sausage and to be honest I was really disappointed the ribs and the sausage were a little over smoked and that didn't help the meat first time I'm openly complaining about smoked meat and I fell bad but if I'm hungry and I leave most of my food on the plate it means the food so bad that I rather throw it away than eat it so sorry for that but I won't be eating here again I gave it a try and most places aren't perfect and I'll try them again on another day but the food was so disappointing that I'll just pay...

We absolutely enjoyed the smoked barbecue. We sampled everything on the menu that was available. The ribs were moist and fell off the bone. The brisket was full of flavor. The pulled pork was mouth watering. The sides were pleasing.

However, they were out a lot of items but barbecue places run out of food on a regular basis. We won't hold that against them. We would suggest calling ahead.

On the weekends, there is live entertainment. The service was impeccable and the owner's daughter is a great ambassador for the restaurant. Give them...
