Baton Rouge BBQ Review - Smoke Bayou

Smoke Bayou - Located right off Jefferson on Inniswood. It appears to be an old house they turned into a BBQ smokehouse.

Prices were steep but expected for decent BBQ.

Ribs - This was my favorite item that I tried. They had a great bark, just enough pull but not falling off the bone, and the flavor was mild with a hint of sweetness.
Chicken Quarter - Another solid option. This was one of the best barks I've seen on a leg quarter. Meat was juicy and had great smoke flavor but not too much.
Brisket - It is different than normal brisket. There is a noticeable garlic flavor and they seasoning each slice of brisket after slicing it with more seasoning. I didn't care for that too much because all I could taste was garlic and seasoning. I wanted to get a good mouthful of smokey brisket. It was falling apart though. They got spot on with tenderness.
Sausage - I thought the sausage was excellent in flavor. It reminded me of a green onion sausage. My only complaint was that the casing was too tight and it was hair too dry.

For sides, I got Beer Battered Onion Rings and Mac and Cheese. Didnt care for the beer battered onion rings but the mac and cheese was excellent!


Overall, I highly recommend to go try this place out. Some of the best ribs I've had in a long time.
