I talked my husband out of going to the South End to get The Keg. Instead I told him we should try a restaurant in the North End since it's closer to where we live. On first glance I wasn't too impressed with the menu- we wanted steak. I read a few reviews and to be honest when it came to the filet they weren't great and I didn't see the prime rib on the menu for takeout. Anyway we ordered two steak dinners. My husband really enjoyed his loaded baked potato, but I ordered truffle fries and they were absolutely terrible- definitely not worth the extra $7.00. The french fries themselves were awful and tasted like they just came out of the freezer. Vegetables were okay, but nothing to rave about. Finally, the steaks. They were cooked well (medium-well), but there was absolutely no flavour. I get you have to cook pretty bland to appease the masses, but I never have this complaint at the Keg or other steak houses that we visit. Overall, this was our first time visiting a Baton Rouge and unfortunately, it will be the last. For the price we paid, I would not recommend. You can pay the same amount or less depending on what you choose to order and get a better meal elsewhere.

I had the pleasure of dining at this Baton Rouge gem for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Paul provided exceptional service—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable—and made our experience truly memorable. The food was absolutely incredible—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. It’s clear that this restaurant prioritizes quality and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Wow wow wow My recent dining experience at this establishment was truly impressive. The food was Fantastic, and the staff delivered top-notch service. I was particularly impressed by the teamwork displayed by the waitstaff, as they worked together to ensure that all orders were taken and served in a timely manner. The owner's personal touch at the end of the meal was also greatly appreciated.

Our server Emilie was absolutely wonderful! She was very attentive and so kind. We sat on the patio and the atmosphere was nice. I ordered the steak tartare and maf & cheese - both were 10/10 delicious. Portions felt just right also. My only feedback would be my martini. The photo is exactly how it came out. Would have been nice if the glass was more full as this is an extremely small portion.

I went to Baton Rouge for the first time because my nephew requested to go there for lunch. I took him and my niece, and they both ordered ribs. It's difficult getting them to eat at times, but they ate all their food, I was very impressed. I had the lobster stuffed mushrooms to start and then the clubhouse with truffle fires, which were both delicious. Our server was Erin, who was attentive and did a great job.

We wish we could give more than 5 stars! Was a great evening of nice ambiance, delicious food and first class service. Diana was our server and she was kind, attentive and professional. Even though the restaurant was busy, Diana made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. We will make this restaurant our go-to place for date night. The mushroom chicken was delicious and obviously prepared with high quality ingredients by a very skilled chef. Can’t wait to go back soon with some friends!

Edit: We recently visited Baton Rouge for another birthday; Estera was AMAZING! She took great care of us, and we got a delicious birthday treat at the end of our meal! We always enjoy Baton Rouge, but this was a great experience with amazing service. Thanks Estera! -/ We had a great time at Baton Rouge- the food was quite good, and the service was excellent. It was busy, but they didn t push us to leave so we had a chance to eat our meal and chat afterwards. The only tip, if you are celebrating an event (such as a birthday) let the staff know- if you reserve via Open Table, they don t seem to make note of any events/celebrations. Otherwise, the ribs are amazing and we highly recommend this location! Parking: Parking gets full on busy evenings, but there is a lot parking at Bayfield Mall.

Visited this location with my fiancé for our anniversary lunch. Food was amazing & our server Christina made the experience lovely. She was attentive, informative & super friendly

October 21, 2024

If the meh emoji was a steak house it would be this place. The staff where friendly and nice and prompt but the prices for what you get terrible. Food tasted good just overdone. When the kitchen needs to cut open a steak to see what it is cooked to then cook it longer then cook it to long and send it out is not a steak house just a wanna be steak house trying to be bigger then what they are. Seating is uncomfortable and wierd short seats and tall tables. I know I will never come back first and last experience was terrible.

My girl & I had an unexpected, fabulous & fun dinner at Baton Rouge. The food was delicious, steak & veggies were prepared to perfection, the crème brûlee was decadent & the Americano Canadese was the perfect nightcap to wash it down. Cheers to the Chef & team! The highlight of the evening was the the incredible service. The Manager Bryce was witty & personable had us laughing until we walked out the door. He went above & beyond to decorate our night. Grant was efficient, professional & the best left-handed server in the land. Kudos to you both. We drove by this restaurant a couple times this week and I highly recommend you dont drive-by, get in there & have a goodtime.

TLDR version. Great food, but felt rushed. I really like the food at Baton Rouge. However, this location left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth if youll pardon the pun. It was about 5pm on a Friday and the place had about 10% of their tables with customers, so it was quiet and newsy to have a pleasant conversation. The server was pleasant to deal with, but it seemed like they were rushing us out. The cleared my plate before my spouse was finished eating, asked us about desserts and had me pay and my spouse was again only 2/3 through her meal (Im a quick eater lol). There were still several tables around us that were empty and it was not more than 30 mins that we were there once our food arrived. Baton Rouge is not one of the cheaper chains, so I would expect a little more courtesy in allowing us to dine at our leisure within reason.

The manager came over to introduce himself and ask about our dining experience. This action was very much appreciated! Thank you for your excellent service & very delicious food! We were just passing through Barrie & stopped to eat dinner at this exquisite restaurant. We will definitely stop here again when passing through the area. 10 star is well deserved for the staff that were present during our dining experience. Thank you so much!

We always love the food here and our server, Jenna, was fantastic! Very friendly and helpful when I had some questions about the menu. She was great! But I have to mention the patio music! It was dance/techno music....on a Tuesday afternoon! We asked if it could be changed to something more mainstream but were told that this decision comes directly from Head Office. I love this restaurant so much but would honestly consider going somewhere else during lunch in hopes of different music.

I used to come here lots when I was younger and it was my favourite restaurant. My boyfriend and I went to celebrate our anniversary last weekend & I was beyond disappointed. I will say my ginny hendrix and the lobster bisque were great. However we ordered grilled octopus and we received two tiny pieces on a plate of like 20 cherry tomatoes (for $23!!) we also ordered the lobster garlic bread which was so gross it made me sick. My boyfriend ordered steak and lobster both extremely overdone (he asked for med/rare this was med/well) but we didn t get checked on for about 15 minutes after receiving that. I didn t bother getting an entree at that point. Very disappointing and so very expensive, definitely not coming back.

I recently stopped in for a quick dinner at Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar in Barrie while driving from Huntsville to Toronto, and I am so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the entire team from the hosts to the servers and managers was exceptionally nice and friendly. Their warmth and attentiveness made a significant impression on me. The food was not only tasty but also served hot and quickly. It was clear that the kitchen staff worked efficiently to deliver a high-quality meal in a timely manner. I was deeply impressed by the overall experience. What stood out the most was the commitment to positive customer service. On my way out, the host even remembered my name from the reservation and thanked me personally. It was such a nice touch and made me feel truly valued as a guest.

I required an impromptu business meeting earlier today. Bryce, was extremely expedient in setting up a quiet table even though it was scheduled for a different party within the next two hours. The meal itself was extremely appropriate; compliments to back of house. Our server, Jenna, was on point and recommended a particular salad dressing that was second to none and she otherwise left us to business. Well done, Baton. Very well done. Respectfully, Coltenn ~

So took my dad for Father s Day and ordered the Rib steak. 57 dollars is expensive for a 16oz steak but it s the best cut in my opinion. Unfortunately it was a little overcooked with lots of gristle probably half the steak. Mentioned it to the waiter who showed the manager. The manager didn t come over but the waiter offered us a piece of cake as compensation. Hardly satisfactory but what can you do. For everyone out there Canada Brewhouse has a 12oz ribeye with a shrimp skewer for $25.99 on Saturdays only. Had many and they are always cooked perfectly and never had any significant gristle. Less than half the price for twice the meat not a hard decision for future steak cravings. Interesting the response doesn t address my issue it s totally irrelevant to my complaint I never mentioned wait time.

We both asked for no caramelized onions, but they also came in the sandwich. The waiter was wonderful and made our experience lovely. It was my birthday and we had creme brule for dessert.

I couldn t say enough about how amazing our meal was. Jenna was our server & she is delightful and made our dinner an amazing one. We had baked French Onion soup & it was delicious. It was followed by Filet Mignon med rare & a fully loaded baked potato. The meal was accompanied with the house wine, a very lovely Cabernet-Saivignon. Superb!! Brice the House Manager stopped by to make sure everything was perfect & it was.

Amazing from the start. Staff very accommodating, server Emilie was very attentive and personable.. everything we ordered from apps to main to drinks was well prepared and very tasty. Highlight was a pleasant surprise, the crème brûlée was tip top, my favourite dessert, custard was rich and smooth with hints of vanilla. Definitely will recommend and revisit! Thank you for an amazing evening!!

I eat out often and have had 100s of servers. Many good, some bad but, a few that were amazing you remember years later. That good. Well, I had that with Estera recently. She was very friendly and most importantly sincere and gave an extra effort you dont often get. The ribs were the best. She made me feel like I was the ONLY person in the restaurant.

We went to this restaurant tonight for the first time. Had high hopes as this is supposedly a good steak house. Was completely underwhelmed and unhappy with both food and service. For a 70 dollar surf and turf dinner, the lobster was dry and rubbery. Fries looked and tasted like McDonald s. And the biggest annoyance was the server took our order for apps, left, came back 30 minutes later to take our entree order, then another 15 minutes we asked where our apps were and she forgot to put in the order in the first place. We ended up with our apps at the end of our dinner as they came out after our entrees. Didn t even offer to comp the apps, forced two carrot cakes on us that the entire party made clear they didn t want as compensation . 300 dollar dinner was a complete waste and will never return.

In town on business. Stopped in, asked for a seat at the bar as I m by myself. Place was at less than half capacity. Sat down & waited. Waited some more. Was not acknowledged by the bartender or any servers. Waited about 10 minutes, walked out. Went up the street to Chuck s. within 5 minutes, had a drink & my order taken. The management team could take some lessons.

The waitress which had red hair but I don t remember her name, was amazing and very friendly. Everything was great except my prime rib was cut improperly which made it a little difficult to cut. Highly recommend the special of the 14 oz prime rib with Mexican taco soup, side salad, and side veggies. The New York strip was amazing and so was the garlic bread au gratin.

Update; thank you for reaching out to me about emailing you but the email you have given gets returned to sender so it seems as though it s not valid. I ll start off by saying the food was pretty good, didn t have any issues with how it tasted or how it was cooked. The issues were with how dirty the restaurant itself was, there was dead flies in the clear light case beside the booth, the fake candle that was on the table had black stuff like dirt or something in it and the table was greasy. My glass was disgusting and dirty, it had lipstick marks all around it but by the time I noticed I was half way done as my pop was Pepsi so it was dark. Really disgusted with that. Next we got the garlic bread appetizer and normally when your waitress/waiter bring out something that has a hot plate or pan they warn you and give you a heads up, that was not done here and I burned my finger on the black thing the garlic bread was sitting it. It definitely was a dish that came out of the oven and was brought to the table with a plate under it but how would I know not to touch it. Lastly the music they were playing was rap music and was explicit with swear words like the f word. I thought Baton Rouge was supposed to be a higher end restaurant but it definitely was not run that way. Will not be going back and definitely very disappointed.

I m feel bad writing this review but the service was awful. Staff was friendly but obviously inexperienced. We had a table of 20, but we were the only table in the entire restaurant, seated right by the front door and window. Our food orders were not taken until an hour after seating and we didn t receive our meals until an hour after that. The food was OK, but unfortunately very disappointing after such a long wait. We even waited a long time for our drinks. There were 2-3 people working and 1-2 tables in the entire restaurant. I would recommend Boston Pizza or the Keg - they are busier for a reason!

The staff is always friendly, proper and great with service, especially the front of house manager / bartender Bryce, and tonight our waitress Ashley made sure we were taken care of so well - as usual! Also worth a mention, the owner makes a point to come around and check in with guests dining to make sure everything is going well, it s a very nice personal touch, and we can tell he and other staff take pride in the restaurant. We ll definitely be back again! Thank you everyone, great restaurant! P.S. best chimichurri ever

Honestly probably one of the worst fine dining experiences I ve had in a long time. From sit down to meal served at our table it was approx 1.5 hrs. Meal was cold, vegetables undercooked and inedible. No draft beer available and our table wasn t properly wiped down.A (manager) asked us how everything was and when we voiced how long we ve been waiting he had nothing but excuses (a cook called in) and offered nothing to compensate us. If we were told that the kitchen was backed up before ordering we would have been completely understanding about the situation. It s a really terrible feeling walking into a restaurant and spending 65+ dollars on a meal (after correcting the bill the server brought) and just leaving totally miserable. Was expecting a Moxies/Keg experience and would have been happier with Applebees.

★★
December 21, 2023

Im going to start by saying Im really not one to complain about restaurants or about my service. Tried going to Moxies but settled going to Baton Rouge because the FoH manager said we could be seated promptly (Moxies had 40 min wait) Ive never been to Baton Rouge but Ive heard good things so we decided to go because we have an early night. Once seated, I noticed the table was sticky, and there were bits of food on the seats. Restaurant seemed busy so I brushed it off. After waiting 10-15 minutes, server finally greeted us. My partner tried to order a draft beer but they said they had no draft at the moment, only bottles (which was more money for less beer) my partner was already grumpy with the experience so far and we debated paying for drinks and leaving before ordering food but I talked him into staying. We ordered our meals and waited over an hour and 15-20 minutes for the meals to come - in that time, we had no drink refills and hardly were checked up on. I could overhear people around us also complaining about wait times and almost no one had food around us. When our food came, I was sadly very disappointed. My beef ginger soup was lacking.. well, beef and ginger. The lobster was cold and rubbery, my steak was much to be desired, vegetables were practically raw and in my opinion; gross. Mashed potatoes were good though, so I recommend those. The manager (I think?) came around and asked us how we were doing and I vocalized that we were not doing good and we had been sitting for an hour and a half and that we werent happy - he just said sorry the kitchen is backed up then brushed us off and left. The bill at the end was also incorrect which just further fuelled our frustration over the matter. All in all, we were both incredibly disappointed and felt miserable paying $70+ each to sit nearly 2 hours, have no drink refills and eat a luke-warm mediocre meal. If we were notified they were understaffed or there was longer than normal wait times, we would have been understanding or at least could make decision to go elsewhere. Sadly wont be returning. The sad part is we would have had our food and service faster at moxies even waiting the 40+ minutes to be seated.

Went in for a nice dinner with my wife. We were seated in a very busy section that threw my autism in sensory overload. Despite it being very busy, the manager was extremely accomdating when we asked to be moved to a quieter area. I had the top sirloin and lobster tail, it was perfect. The steak was seriously as tender as a tenderloin. I can remember our servers name but she was fantastic. It was the best dining experience Ive had. Ever. Keep up the great work!! We will definitely be back again.

The greetings, eye contact, honored our decision to have a sit in the bar, mentioned the soup of the day and suggested an appetizer... They all simply delivered our food at the right time. I would grade them all with an Excellent service if I were a mystery shopper, and the food was tasty. From an experienced bartender, I can tell you that Kat has what it takes to be a good bartender. She delivered what I know as making the connection with the costumer. And the atmosphere, like nothing else. Thanks, Kat, for making us have a good time.

We came here a couple weekends ago for my boyfriend and I d anniversary and had a lovely time. The food was pretty good but both my boyfriend and I felt something was missing from the dishes we got (he got the pasta and I got the pork burger) don t get me wrong. The food was good, but it just needed a little something extra. The service was great, the server was very attentive, maybe a little too attentive at some points, but I would prefer that to not seeing your server the entire time, he helped my boyfriend pick out a glass of wine that would complement the pasta he got, and they even gave us a cute little dessert on the house.

I was greeted at the door by two employees as I walked in. They were great to talk to, and it turned out, one of them was the owner! He was very cordual and friendly. We chatted about the menu and some personal life experiences. All the staff were very friendly and approachable!! I had excellent conversations with different staff as they went past. The menu is a bit higher priced than I wanted to pay, but you definitely get what you paid for here! The reputation of good food is NOT exaggerated. The french onion soup was amazing, and the burger with fries was great, too. For an extra fee, I chose the fries with truffle sauce and parmigan cheese. Wow, were they good!! There was a lot of garlic, man, were they ever good!! I will definitely go back again!!

We recently dined at Bàton Rouge in Barrie and had a quite memorable experience. The service was particularly outstanding and perhaps the most memorable in recent times. Our server was both attentive and humorous, greatly enhancing our evening. However, the food did not quite meet our expectations, especially considering the price point, which made the value proposition a bit challenging. The restaurants decor is modern and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere. I hope that the food quality will improve to match the overall experience, which would help justify the prices. Despite the culinary shortcomings, the excellent service and ambiance made our visit worthwhile. Its definitely worth checking out for those in the area.

Nice place, the food is fairly average. Service was very slow and the place really wasnt busy. What got me is their supposed allergen guide. Since when does Tempura shrimp have wheat but no gluten. This wasnt the only item that raised eyebrows regarding wheat/gluten and I didnt even get into the other allergens. Whomever created this guide clearly hasnt the first clue what theyre talking about. The scary part is, the wait staff refers to this guide to tell people if something is ok or not. And the default is, well if youre not sure, best not risk it.

We always love coming here and never have had a bad experience. Thank you to our wonderful server, Christina who was so fantastic and sweet! It is clearly obvious that the owners of this charming restaurant really care about their patrons. Thank you too Bardia and Jose for hiring the best!!!! So, another review of our experience with Baton Rouge in Barrie. Because, we like this restaurant so much, we decided to have a work party here. From the beginning stages of planning with Savvy and some other team members, the process was well thought out and they really went through great measures to accommodate us. We were given three choices of set menu items to select from beforehand which encompassed a number of great selections that would suit every pallet. We were hosting, so naturally, we were the first to arrive. The tables were set and everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. We had a few servers work with us during the meal, but the two main servers were Brooklyn and Taylor. They worked so hard to take care of us the entire evening. They are my version of high end servers who are extremely capable and superb. Savvy (owner) came over to us at one point and we expressed our gratitude and satisfaction with our experience. It was obvious that he took great pride in knowing that we were all pleased with our meals and time there. He was really amazing!!! There was 24 of us!!! We would not only recommend Baton Rouge for couples, families but now, also for large groups as they did a phenominal job. Thanks to all of you for taking your jobs seriously and making our time absolutely perfect!!
