Had the BBQ beef poboy, a large fries, and a Mt. Dew. I got he large fries because the regular amount of fries they give you is never enough to last while you eat your poboy.
The lady that took my order acted like I was bothering her
When my food came, the fries were undercooked and quickly turned limp.
They gave me the bare minimum of BBQ sauce in the cup to finish my poboy with.
When you order a Mt Dew as a drink, they don't have it on tap so they give you a bottle and an ice cup. You can't get a refill without buying another bottle.
When I went to pay, they charged me almost $25 for one poboy, a large fries, and one bottle of Mt Dew.
The poboy comes with a small fry, but they don't give you a credit for it. They just charged me for the poboy and $6.50 for a large, undercooked, soggy plate of fries.
This is the most unprofessional restaurant in Baton Rouge. Usually they give you your fries well before you ever get your other food. So your fries sit on the table getting cold while you wait for the rest of your meal.
Avoid this location like the plague. The one on Sherwood First is still amazing, run by people who actually care and who won't rip you off.
This location on Government St just lost a decades long customer forever. They don't deserve my business. I wish other people from the Baton Rouge area would stop putting up with the sub par experiences you find at so many restaurants here.
Better that places like this go out of business rather than being rewarded for their incompetence and thievery.
All in all, there's so many better choices than Jay's on Government. Take your business elsewhere to a place more deserving. This place provides horrible value for what you receive in return for your hard earned money

To be fair I am from the Midwest and it's hard to impress me with barbecue. Although the staff was very friendly I was not impressed. For the price I would have expected a unique taste. 22.00 6 ribs 2 sides. The potato salad was bland in the ribs only three out of the six had meat. I did enjoy the corn nuggets. I also prefer my ribs to be soaked add barbecue sauce. The ribs are sold without sauce they give you a cup of sauce on the side

I have been enjoying Jay’s Bar-B-Q since my childhood. They have some of my favorite sandwiches & po-boys. Dipping the sandwiches & po-boys in the sauce before every bite is also one of my favorite activities.

Loved this place. My Meme uses a walker & is dependent on it. They immediately came to the door to help us get her in. They were so sweet. There weren't many people there when we went for 2:30 which made it easy on us. They close at 3pm & were still gracious & not rushing us. 5 stars to the whole staff!! Thank y'all!!
Parking: The only thing they lacked was a handicap ramp at the door.
Kid-friendliness: We saw two little girls in there with their baby dolls & the cashier kept asking the little girl how she (baby doll) was because she (baby doll) had a fever. Lol.

Once they bring you your meal, they never come back to your table to ask if you need anything. It never fails, I have to get up and go get my refill. Food is good but service needs help.

Double cheeseburger, large fry and coke was 22 dollars and the cheeseburger was room temperature to the point that the cheese wasn’t melted at all. The fry’s were great and i could have said something but who wants to complain to someone making your food. And i was a dine in customer.
