Jays B Q - Baton Rouge

Have never left a review for somewhere till now. If you are looking to travel back in time to the Great Depression this is your place. This is the food that the prisoners are back in ww2. The sweet tea was about a diabetics dream. The chopped beef looks and tastes like cow ****. Would not recommend to anyone even with taste buds. It sucks.

Stopped in for lunch at Jay’s, it was packed. I ordered a Bbq beef sandwich (Jay’s way, meat and sauce), curly fries and backed beans. The beans were extra, only one side come with the order off the menu. There was a fair amount of meat on the sandwich. The beef was freshly cut and doesn’t have a heavy smoke flavor. The bbq sauce comes on the side and is a vinegar-based sauce. It’s got that tangy vinegar tase but not over the top. I felt the order of fries was small, they were hot when I got my basket. The beans were also hot, they had a mustard flavor, again not overpowering but could defiantly taste it. My order was out fast, meaty sandwich, hot fires, and beans. However, because I prefer a sweet sauce and beans, I give Jay’s an Average rating. Service was great, friendly staff. If you’re a tangy vinegar-based sauce, you will like Jay’s. I would recommend Jay’s but inform them of the type of sauce.

So unhappy to see this place rated so low on yelp. This place has the best pulled pork poboy and shakes. One of my favorite bbq places in Baton Rouge for sure.

I absolutely love Jays, the people who work there are always so friendly and sweet. The food is always hot and fresh and the bbq sauce is amazing. I recommend this place to everyone!

The French dip is excellent, fried mushrooms and corn nuggets. Good priceFood: 5/5
