“We took out of town guests for a late lunch, and as usual the food was fantastic. What was especially great though, was the service. Shelblyn was super friendly and attentive. Our guests are from D.C. and they were impressed! Thank you!“

“I don’t know if anyone reads anything from this site but I wanted to post a rave for the Baton Rouge location. My mom was transferred into hospice care on the day I ate at your restaurant. It was a horrible day until the nicest server/waitress I have ever had sat us down. She couldn’t have known what we were going through or how much she brightened our day. She was pregnant, I know that. Otherwise I don’t remember her name. One of those days I guess. She just had this light about her and when she smiled Everything seemed a little better. I think God put her there at that moment. Hopefully she will be there the next time we go. But if not I was posting this to tell her thankyou for being you. And good luck with your pregnancy. You are going to be an awesome mom. You are full of light and love. May God bless you abundantly.“

“Monday was quiet but the staff was very attentive- our host seated me immediately and our server greeted as I was seated. Taryn was informed I was meeting a HS friend and wanted t catch up and she suggested a special and explained the sharables in size and variety as ee wsited for the other gurst. Taryn's timing was perfect as she checked in frequently but let us visit. The special was yummy & sharable was perfect . The evening was perfect!“

“Everything is excellent. Though they didn’t have the bread pudding, the nice guy I can’t remember the name of at the cashier gave us a banana pudding and it was very good (I’m not a fan of banana pudding). The bathroom was very clean. They had a very welcoming environment with delicious food. I always know what to expect when I go to this Hannah q; perfection.“

“Definitely loved the staff and the food I’ve been here 3 times and loved it every time“

“the potato is awesome so is the rest of the food“

“So tasty! we love everything!“

“I ordered a catering menu from Baby J's for a family event, and we all loved it! The potato salad was one of the best ever; delicious ribs, chicken, coleslaw and corn bread. It was the first time using them but it won't be the last! I highly recommend their food.“

“This was my 2nd visit to location, and just like my first visit, the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken plate with potato salad and mac & cheese. The chicken was moist and had a very nice flavor, the potato salad was ok it was a little to heavy on the mayo this time but it was still good, and the mac & cheese was good as well. I my only complaint is I wish they made a sweet bbq sauce, but if you like a vinegar based sauce, then you'll enjoy their sauce.

Parking: They have a decent size parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Only if your kids like bbq.“
