FYI, Baton Rouge in Quarry Park opened this week. No official grand opening yet, as they need a little while to iron things out.
I went for lunch on Friday, had the 10oz pork ribs with mashed potatoes. I believe it was $17, a little on the pricey side.
As for the ribs, the sauce and flavor was excellent. They fell off the bones with ease, with a fair amount of meat on them. I had a few which were on the dry side, but they were on the ends. The mashed potatoes with bacon (can't go wrong with bacon) and I believe garlic were awesome. I would have preferred mine a bit crispy on the outside, but I didn't request it.
In terms of service, it looks like the staff are still learning, but at least they ask the manager(s) for clarification. Still an overall better service than some or nearly all restaurants during the boom were giving. I'm sure they will improve even more in the next few weeks.
The decor is excellent. Dark woods with nice deep red seats. Lots of seating available in both the lounge and dining room and was about 1/3-1/2 full during Friday's lunch. Parking may be a concern during weekday lunches when they eventually start filling the dining room to capacity (due to other food establishments sharing the same parking lot).
All-in-all, a 7.5/10 at the moment. I expect it to end up at 9/10, with the missing 1 because of the price.
