    Were we’re the for lunch and celebrating a birthday. Food was delicious. Olivia was/is an outstanding server, ask for her! The mountain slice of carrot cake was loved by all. BRQ is a staple in our repertoire of Baton Rouge restaurants. We can’t get back soon enough.

    We have enjoyed the Thanksgiving dinners at BRQ for a number of years and this years was probably one of the best ever. The food was and always is above expectation and this year the pecan pie was probably the best I've ever had anywhere. The regular menu throughout the rest of the year is well beyond what many offer and serve, and that's why this continues to be a popular place to eat long after the newness has worn off.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on December 2, 2024
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that this year's Thanksgiving dinner was a standout for you and that you enjoyed the pecan pie—it’s a favorite of ours, too!
