Baton Rouge’s local restaurant scene is burgeoning with creative concepts in food. Read what four things make BRQ Seafood and Barbeque stand out among the crowd.
BRQ isn't your typical barbeque joint. The chef plans to bring champion level techniques to the table by serving 14- to 16-hour smoked brisket, Applewood and hickory-smoked meats dusted with his own rubs and house made sauces.
BRQ takes traditional BBQ styles to the next level with unique dishes like BBQ Smoked Octopus, Smoked Rabbit Pot Pie and, the soon-to-be very popular, "I Don't Care Feed Me," option. Seasonal produce and proteins locally sourced within a 150-radius will drive the menu, proving BRQ’s emphasis on farm-to-table food.
BRQ will also feature more seasonal seafood items like fresh boiled shrimp and crawfish. More choices on the BRQ menu include prime steaks, chops, sandwiches, salads, desserts and more.
The BRQ Bar is home to some 500 cocktails, learn more from the BRQ bar menu. With more than 100 bottles of whiskey and a variety of local craft beers and more, the restaurant’s 30-foot bar can meet the needs any spirit fan.
A purposely playful eclectic mix of local art and humorous sketches on the large chalk-boards are perfectly placed to fit the overall vibe of the restaurant – a neighborhood restaurant feel, with fine dining fare.
