The food was unbelievable! I’m a big critic of smoked meats and they were on point! The sides were just as perfect! First time eating there and will definitely be back!

First time trying and I was impressed by the meats that are seasoned and tender well!! The Mac and cheese taste like they were made with Kraft Mac and cheese and collard greens had no taste whatsoever but, everything else was delicious I will definitely come back to try something else something else on they menu cause I don’t live on that side of town anymore

Best BBQ in Baton Rouge! Owner is very friendly and offered a free pork belly sample after I ordered the brisket plate with a side of ribs.
Meat didn’t require any BBQ sauce. Tender, juicy, good fat ratio, fall off the bone ribs. The pork belly sample was decadent.
Went back the following day to try more sides and the turkey and pulled pork. Delicious! Highly recommend, especially if you’re tired of the lack of quality and consistency from another BBQ joint down the road….

Ribs and brisket are falling down off the bone and tender as all outdoors. The best we've had in more than three years!

Offset Smoker BBQ was featured on a local news station this morning. My mission was set for the day! Making the drive into Baton Rouge with one purpose. Brisket! Love it! I also bought some smoked turkey, jalapeño sausage, and two armadillos (stuffed peppers wrapped in sausage and bacon). Everything was perfect. Offset is definitely at the top of my list now. Staff was super friendly as well.
Offset Smoker BBQ – Government Street, Baton Rouge, LA ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Offset Smoker BBQ, located on Government Street between Sonic and Superior Grill, is a relatively new addition to Baton Rouge’s barbecue scene—and it’s definitely worth checking out. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the menu offers a wide variety of meats (brisket, pork belly, chicken, ribs, sausage, pulled pork, turkey) and classic Southern sides.
I ordered the brisket plate with potato salad and collard greens. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and generously portioned (about five slices, including both lean and moist cuts, plus burnt ends). The collard greens were seasoned well and very tender. The potato salad, unfortunately, tasted store-bought and lacked personality.
The plate came with a tangy-sweet barbecue sauce, pickled onions, and pickles—all great pairings with the meat. My biggest disappointment was the bread: a cold, unbuttered slice that felt like an afterthought. Texas toast would have taken the meal up a notch.
Pricing is a bit high for barbecue (my plate was $21), but the quality of the meat made it worthwhile. I plan to return to try the pork belly and more of the menu.
Overall, Offset Smoker BBQ nails the barbecue but could improve on the sides and bread. Still, a solid spot. 4 stars. Worth a visit—just ask them to toast your bread!
