BRQ Seafood and BBQ isn’t even open yet, but boy the buzz is strong. BRQ has been filling the news cycles of local publications and news channels since last year, first being mentioned in the Baton Rouge Business Report once news hit that a new Baton Rouge restaurant will open.

The Baton Rouge Business Report later shared more details of the opening and what the community can expect from BRQ, Baton Rouge's newest restaurant; “…the restaurant will seat at least 184 people. It backs up to the Louisiana Culinary Institute, whose owners are partners in BRQ.” They also reported that the catering side of BRQ is already up and running.

Not long after that, DIG Magazine, 225 Magazine and Country Roads Magazine got in on the action, all giving a shout-out to BRQ and bringing attention to the December 2016 pop-up dinner hosted at Louisiana Culinary Institute, and naming BRQ as one of the next best new Baton Rouge restaurants to hit the local culinary scene. WVLA Local 33 has also featured BRQ on numerous spots in their morning newscast.

Matt Sigur commended the new Baton Rouge restaurant, BRQ Seafood and BBQ, with features in two articles in The Advocate and The Acadiana Advocate within weeks of each other.

The Acadiana Advocate, In a stressful 2016, here is the Best Food I ate in Baton Rouge, Lafayette; December 2016: “BRQ will be a restaurant to watch in 2017. Right before the holidays, BRQ hosted a pop-up dinner that featured huge portions of brisket, ribs, pulled chicken and pork. The sides of bacon and cheddar hushpuppies, and goat cheese drop biscuits were even more impressive. If BRQ can deliver this consistently at the new restaurant, Baton Rouge better watch out.”

Recently, InRegister Magazine and City Social Magazine, both wrote complimentary pieces on BRQ as one of the new Baton Rouge  restaurants who have been given ownership and control within the walls, and behind the scenes, of the restaurants that have their hearts.

And lastly, catering clients can’t get enough!

Kristen Caulk wrote on Facebook, “These guys did the most amazing job catering our wedding. They were easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. The menu that they came up with for us after just one meeting was everything we could have hoped for and more. We didn't need to change a thing! Everyone raved about the amazing food, the well supplied bar, and their awesome servers and bartenders. They took care of everything from setup to cleanup perfectly and on schedule. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire them again for any event.”

BRQ Seafood and BBQ is a highly anticipated new restaurant in Baton Rouge, and we can’t wait to welcome you into the new space!
