Bâton Rouge Steakhouse & Bar

Went to this restaurant after the ball game with a friend from the area. We started with wine and the selection was just perfect alone with the price, some restaurants have to many selections. We ended the evening with a few more bottles.
The apps were good, the spinach dip was very tasty but the could afford to make it smaller and still enjoy it.
We all had ribs as we were told they were amazing, the portions are exactly whats needed and the meat melts in your mouth. It come with 2 selections and no matter what you desire from beans to fries or coleslaw you can’t go wrong.
The service was excellent, they didn’t rush us at anytime within our 3 hours of stay and it all felt comfortable.
We would go back and we recommend it.

We were in a hurry coming from the nearby convention centre and needed a quick lunch that would sustain us through an afternoon of conferencing. We asked when we walked in if we could get things fairly quickly and the staff were very pleasant about helping us out. We both ordered off the lunch menu, a steak and frites, plus a kale and goat cheese salad that was very nice and came with the soup of the day or potato soup loaded with cheddar, real bacon bits, and green onions. Tea or coffee was also included. Everything was very good (nothing mind-​blowing from a culinary perspective, but quite good), and quick. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere for lunch, so this definitely worked for us.

The food was good. I enjoyed my steak and it was done the way I requested it, however the service wasn’t very good. I don’t know if it was just our server but she basically disappeared after taking our order. We waited a long time for our meals. When they finally did come, they mixed up the two steak dinners so I initially had a bite of my friend’s steak realizing it wasn’t cooked the way I asked for it and we realized they mixed it up. We waited to get our drinks refilled, etc Not sure if I would go back, at those prices, I expect decent service.

Came here at 12:30 with a party of 9 it’s now 1:40 only 3 people have been served. I had to leave before I got my meal because I’m at a convention. We made a reservation 2 weeks ago so they should have been aware of my party size.
They comped the meal but it is still disappointing for a busy downtown restaurant to have such terrible service.
My staff texted me later saying they git the order wrong so they are still waiting…
I’d think twice before eating at this location… but I really wouldn’t know about ghe food quality since I’m at my course hungry…

Great service good food
Really, awesome servers, great manager. The food we ordered was good, not spectacular. I had a minor issue with one dish and the manager was a sweetie and took it off our check. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive and the atmosphere was nice after a long day. Great place to go before a bluejays game or if you are staying at the Renaissance.

I only rated it one star because no star is not an option. If you like cold fries, with alright service then come to this place.
My boyfriend had a chicken tender salad with grilled chicken breast instead. It was so dry and cold that he sent it back. Instead of a fresh breast they re-​cooked the old one. What a health code violation since he had already started to eat it. The salad was missing the palm hearts and artichokes, and the lettuce was brown. The oil and vinegar that was used as dressing were so oily and dirty that he opted to have one of their house dressings.
I had ribs and they were only a little warm. It’s hard to believe considering they are supposed to be slow cooked for hours. Fries were cold and super greasy like they were cooked in cold oil.
I’ve been a Baton Rouge customer for over 10 years and it was such a horrible experience that I will never return to this location. The manager told us that the front street location was bought over by new owners. In my option Baton Rouge head office should take away this location before the new owners ruin it completely.

I had a steak dinner with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. They advertise their steaks being aged 45 days (or something like that) and high quality.
The prices across the menu seemed pretty good and slightly cheaper than I expected. That said, in the case of my steak, it was a downgrade from The Keg, and maybe only a couple bucks cheaper. It was still enjoyable however.
My dad’s ribs looked good and he enjoyed them and they’re often on special.
An okay experience, but I’m not sure whether it’s enough to be too memorable either.

Too bad — bad service and problems in the kitchen I guess
Ribs are good
Steak could have been good but not done the way asked — well done instead of medium for a 39 dollar steak!
Fish. Came cold after selling me on the catch of the day which turned out to be different and then not served properly.
Worse part though was the wait and the service which was terrible — you get the sense that they are not honest and don’t really care
I am not sure what they did right

Delicious ribs. Good Caesar salad. Great chicken and mushroom risotto. Fries were great. Great variety of food on the menu — something for everyone.
Negative:
Garlic mashed potatoes were not that good. Too thick and kind of hard to swallow; not creamy. Nothing close to The Keg’s mashed potatoes.

I loved the ambiance of this place. It’s got that old school charm of a steakhouse which is what it is. I ordered a cranberry juice and thought it was quite outrageous to charge 4.00 for a small glass and she also said we had to keep our old straws f our drinks or else she wouldn’t give us another one. I should also mention it started as four of us at 345pm and then it was 9 by 530pm. My friend ordered chicken and fries and it looked great. The batter on the chicken tenders was done in house and deep fried. I ordered a salad with top sirloin I ordered it medium but it came out rare but due to my antibiotics needing me to get fed ASAP I just ate it without complaint. I then asked The blonde waitress if I could have a to go container and she refused as she said it was wasted material and that it would ruin the environment for the sea turtles ?!? Wtf. I thought I was a paying customer paying over $ 30 for food and drinks. I never asked for anything no complaints yet she made a big deal about straws and containers. Give me a break. Very poor of a waitress to push her so called beliefs on a customer. This is why we have recycling.

Was there today… not good at all. comparing to the Baton Rogue I am familiar with in Mississauga… service is horrible… the hostess after I ask for a booth by the window… too me to a booth by a brick wall… I looked at her and said window… my water glass was dirty ask for it to be replaced only to be brought back the same glass the waiter said it was just a smudge and he wiped it off… really buddy? It was the powdered soap from the dish washer… shame on you… oh the nastiness didn’t end there… our appetizer plates were dirty too left over food… omg…yeah I took a picture… the girls walks around very pouty and grumpy looking… the male staff was more attentive… for a Baton Rogue especially in a prime tourist location… Yall need to step up ur A game.

Our first time at this location and we were ruined by food poisoning! We ordered mashed potatoes with both of our entrees and our entire Halloween weekend was ruined as we spent it, instead, sick. Will never return.

If this is the Rogers centre location, it sucks. Terrible food and even worse service. I was there yesterday. The apps are unedible. Waited about 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge I was enen there. Then I finally ordered a beer (patio). That took another 15 minutes. When the beer arrived, I asked for a menu. That took ten minutes. … You get the drift. stay away!

I gave this only a 2 because the service was terrible. The food though was exceptional.
We stopped in here because we were pooped from walking and wanted to grab a late lunch and a drink and sit for a bit.
This is a steakhouse/​bar. It wasn’t very busy at all and we were seated right across from the bar. Which would make you think the service would be fairy fast. Wrong. The girl who took our order, I believe her name was Kate or Katie, was friendly, and smiling. She took our drink order. 5 minutes after we ordered drinks she asked if we wanted to order. I ordered General Taos chicken salad and hubby ordered the Pub Style beer battered fish. We were 3 feet from the bar and it took 15 minutes for her to get around to bringing the drinks to the table. Then she disappeared. After sitting there for 40(?!) minutes my husband finally caught her eye to ask what was the delay. 2 Minutes later she appeared with the food, apologising and blaming the kitchen for having an «off» day. Hubby ordered another drink and again the bartender poured it immediately and she disappeared yet again. He finally asked the bartender to bring the drink half way through the meal.
The meal itself was delicious! The General Taos chicken salad was done perfectly. It was described as :
Hand-​battered chicken tenders, General
Tao sauce served on mixed greens,
red peppers, walnuts, sesame seeds
& crispy noodles drizzled in ginger &
lime dressing.
Totally lived up to it’s description and I devoured it. My husbands Beer Battered Fish was described as:
Beer-​battered fish served with spicy
tartar sauce. It came with fries and coleslaw. The fish and fries again were perfectly cooked, light and crispy.
I tipped a standard 15 percent even though I wasn’t happy with the service because I hoped that the tips were shared equally between the kitchen and servers. That’s the ONLY reason she got any tip at all.
The quality of the meal more than made up for the lackluster service.
Don’t know if I would ever visit this location again but I may try another location to give them a second chance.
They also offer a gluten-​free menu and this restaurant is kid friendly. The bathrooms were clean

Been there 4 – 5 times and every time I was there I received great service and great food and beverages. All of my special food requests were handled spot on. Never had to return any dishes/​plates.
Im really fond of their décor it def suits the vibe theyre trying to give off. Dim lighting also works well during nighttime.
Only concern is its pretty pricey. Also there seems to be two entrances (main and side). So could be confusing to new customers. Other than that no real complaints.
Would def visit again!

2.5 stars is right on, folks.
Get the ribs or lobster risotto. I enjoyed the sweet potato fries. Skip thte chicken sandwich – it’s not light, it’s pretty dense «chicken» and roll.
Open late + close to Rogers Center, CN Tower etc.
But I am curious to try Canyon Creek or Loose Moose instead or I’d just stick to ribs + fries here for everybody whether at lunch or dinner. (Though I hear at lunch you may be able to ask for an off-​the-​menu sub of baked apples instead of fries, as a side).

Terrible. When we sat down a waitress came up and asked what drinks we’d like. We said water. We got the water and waited 15 minutes for her to come back. Never did. We had to ask for a new waitress. She took our order and since she was nice enough to take it, we decided to order alcohol. When the food came it was a disaster. I ordered chicken breast with ribs and mashed potatoes. The presentation was like someone just placed it there. A 5 year old can put a plate better than what I got. Then the chicken wasnt fully cooked. And it seemed they just dumped the chicken into bbq sauce. The ribs were the same. But it was burnt. The best was the mashed potatoes, but it looks like it splatted on my plate after falling from the CN Tower. It was just a terrible experience. It was my first and now last time. The new waitress was very nice. Might be the only light in the darkest tunnel.

If you enjoy mediocre at best food and being ripped off, then by all means eat here!
Let me start off by saying, I am not picky when it comes to food, in fact I’ve never written a bad review for a restaurant in my life.
Baton Rouge is very misleading. It looks like a high-​end establishment (and the prices reflect that), however the food is downright awful.
I was thrilled to see coconut shrimp on the menu — one of my favourite foods. However, I was extremely disappointed when I received just 3 tiny coconut shrimp (which were very bland) next to a small pile of arugula — for $ 13!!!
My friend ordered a Caesar salad and 2 glasses of wine and the bill was over $ 50!
I thought maybe the dessert would be better, I chose the apple crumble. I was wrong. Tasteless and dry.
After dinner, my friend and I agreed we should’ve just gone to chipotle, at least we know we can always rely on their burritos and guac ;)

Went here for a friend’s birthday and was disappointed with the service and food.
Ordered a kiwi mojito and the server comes back saying they ran out of kiwis for the day. Then ordered an alternate drink and took over 30 minutes to make it.
Steak and lobster entrée was salty and vegetables were undercooked.
Will give them an extra star for not charging a plating fee and cutting our birthday cake.
Will not come back to this location.

Baton Rouge is the definition of «average». The only exception is that prices are a bit high for the average food. 18 $ for a chicken breast and one side.
Average service? Check.
Average piece of slightly overcooked BBQ chicken breast? Check.
Average portion sizes? Check.
Average mashed potatoes? Check.
Average amount of sauce on chicken? Check.
Average menu item could have been prepared at home by anyone? Check.
Average overall experience? Check.

Baton Rouge on Front street is a 5 – 10 minute walk from the subway, not a great experience during the Canadian Winter. But inside the restaurant was really nice, the atmosphere felt cozy with the dim lights and comfortable booth seats.
The service was really good, we were greeted right away by a hostess and our server came asking for drinks not too long afterwards (It was a Tuesday evening, probably not a busy day anyway). We ordered food, ate dinner and dessert in less than an hour and a half = extremely fast service. Our server kept asking us how we were doing every 5 minutes, it was nice but it was interrupting our conversation.
I ordered the chicken tender platter with seasoned vegetables. Chicken tenders were battered and fried which had a good crunch to them and the chicken was still moist. It was good for chicken tenders. The vegetables were bland, not really «seasoned». The BBQ sauce that came with it was pretty good and I actually asked for more.
My boyfriend ordered the rib steak with mashed potatoes, and loved it. This was his 2^nd time ordering steak from Baton Rouge, both times he enjoyed it very much.
For dessert we ordered the New York style cheesecake with caramel. It tasted okay, but it felt like it was frozen and they didn’t thaw it out all the way.
The menu is pricey but the portions are rather large. Baton Rouge is more of a restaurant for special occasions rather than a «go-​to spot» for me.

Chaine de pubs à Toronto, c’est l’endroit idéal pour manger entre amis ou même en famille.
