5 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Saint Gabriel

“Big Jakes is awesome! I love love the ribs and potato salad. If you want excellent bar-b-que without paying an arm and a leg, try Big Jakes. There is a reason they’ve won multiple awards…it’s the food (and the service is great too). Can’t wait to go back! The only downside is if you are trying to lose weight…be warned…the portions are huge!“

“Early morning breakfast before my wife and kids woke up. I was impressed they were open so early, but didn't expect much at five in the morning. I couldn't have been more wrong. Walked in to a well lit dining area and was told I could sit where I wanted. Perfect because I hate being sat too close to other diners. Not that there were many there, two large groups of local men enjoying coffee and the latest gossip. Nice atmosphere, I could see myself being one of those guys when I hit the twilight years. A waitress approached with a menu and water in hand, asking what did like to drink after a cheerful "good morning!" A young blonde with a pleasant persona and a welcoming vibe about her. I ordered coffee and she said she'd be back in a few minutes. When she made her way back to my table I was ready to order but I had trouble pronouncing "atchafalya". She caught on to that (or my accent tipped her off ) and she asked "You're not from around here, are ya?" I chuckled a little and she went to give my ticket to the cooks. Wasn't long before my food was sitting right in front of me and damn did it smell and look amazing. Two of the uniquely Cajun Benedicts with a large chunk of alligator sausage on each side. I dug in. Thick fluffy biscuits sat atop crispy and perfectly tart fried green tomatoes which in turn were adorned with two perfectly poached eggs smothered in a homemade creole sauce filled the plate. I didn't know what to expect other than the unexpected. My gut instinct proved to be right as I took my first bite of this swamp born delicacy. Finished it quicker than it took to get to me. And the sausage? Cooked to perfection with an expertly browned outside and a hot, juicy, tender center. The best breakfast I had while visiting the Bayou State. Would definitely revisit if I'm ever in the area; might even drive out of my way to do so.“

“Had the friendliest server ever and the food was once again amazing. Had a really good fish sandwich and fries, and the salads are definitely shareable. The menu is a little different than the last time I came and one of my favs had been removed but still overall great place to enjoy a glass of wine and a good meal.“

“As a first-timer @ TRH, I was impressed with the atmosphere, service, and food. The entire staff—especially Tre, our Roadie—are exceptional. It was a late celebration for my birthday (8/16/64) with my wife and we both enjoyed our meal. TRH has now become my “go to” for a great steak dinner!“

“Some of my fellow service members and I dined here for lunch. The service was excellent and the staff was friendly. Ordering was smooth, and our food was delivered timely. They even provided a military discount. Overall, the food was flavorful, hot, and fresh. I had the triple smoked platyer. Sausage, ribs, and pulled pork. The sausage and pulled pork were excellent. The ribs were good but a bit on the fatty side. All in all, the food and service made it well worth the visit.“
