Not Bad, not Great. Didn't leave the place thinking I can't wait to go back, just left thanking I found a decent spot on a Saturday night. My food felt like it was missing something and I'm still looking for it

My burger was cooked really well, and the service was great. -

My husband and I drove all day from Wisconsin to Toronto last Friday. Needless to say we were both exhausted and hungry. Because our hotel was located downtown Toronto, we decided to walk around the block in search for a restaurant. We quickly came across Baton Rouge Restaurant. We were both sold on its location and decor. Situated in the heart of the city, how can it possibly afford being bad?
We were seated promptly, and I asked our waiter for what dishes the restaurant was known. After she mentioned "ribs," I knew my husband would be able to order a decent meat dish. I, on the other hand, favor fish. "The catch of the day" was swordfish. Who am I to turn down fresh fish? So, I ordered the swordfish served with a side order of "seasonal vegetable." The seasonal vegetable was asparagus served with some sauce (I can only recall its bright orange color and mustard-like texture now, and not its name). Again, when someone says "seasonal," I think FRESH. My husband ordered a prime rib steak with a side order of mashed potatoes. Both dishes came with a choice of a house salad (and your choice of dressing) or a Caesar salad.
While waiting for our dinner, we ordered two 9 oz. glasses of wine. Our server brought us the salads. While my husband ate his, I couldn't get over the wilted lettuce in mine! The salad looked "pre-made," as if it was kept 24 hours in the fridge before being served. I couldn't even recognize the eggs that were supposed to be in the salad. The grayish-whitish-yellowish mass spread over the wilted lettuce with a few stale croutons - this is the house salad description they should include in their menu.
When our waiter brought us our main course dishes, my jaw dropped. Picture this: a big white plate with a trapezoid slab of something formerly known as fish, 5 wilted asparagus upon which an orange mustard-like substance was squeezed hot-dog-style. My husband's prime rib steak was not cooked "medium well" as he ordered (it was red in the middle, and not pink). It was hard to cut through, and there was a lot of fat left on the "steak" (70% meat, 30% fat). The taste of bacon bits and pepper was overwhelming in the mashed potatoes. You couldn't taste the vegetable anymore! The quality of food was simply unacceptable. The cooking skills were missing entirely. And there was nothing "fresh" about their "seasonal" vegetables and their "catch of the day."
I dared to cut off a small piece of the swordfish, and I was sorry I did. The 9 oz of wine that I drank afterwords did not help me wash down the taste of something that was not completely defrosted while being grilled by someone who should not be allowed to cook in the first place. I couldn't force myself to try the asparagus.
When I refused to pay for the fish, the manager did not even try to disagree that whatever was on my plate was simply inedible. He, however, insisted that we pay for the steak, and we did. We were too tired to argue. $60+ later we were still hungry and extremely dissatisfied with our first restaurant experience in Toronto.
One last piece of advice: avoid the place at all cost, pack a peanut butter sandwich, if you have to, and you'll receive more pleasure from eating it than from paying $$$ for something that should be against the law to serve. -

As it was my first time here, I went straight for their signature ribs.
Ordered the BBQ Pork Ribs Tro (10 oz Ribs, 6 oz Chicken, 5 Tiger Shrimps) with a baked potato side for $35. The ribs were really "fall off the bone" and it had a smokiness taste to it. It was probably the only highlight for that night.
The chicken was smothered in the same sauce as the BBQ pork ribs, so I was indifferent to the taste. Nothing special.
As compared to the BBQ ribs + chicken combo ($25), the additional $10 goes to the 5 tiger shrimps. I imagined tiger shrimps to be bigger in size, but I was wrong. There was nothing special to it, and not for an extra $10.
Other than the food, it was a quiet night. Service was slow, but attentive.
I would come back for the ribs. But other than that, there are better options out there for a good meal. -

In my opinion, this chain only works due to its excellent locations. Always next to the major attractions, filled by the tourist folks who come and go. I've been to the Yonge St. location, and one time was good enough to never return.
Food quality... think Swiss Chalet (khm!) on steroids. Man they could at least change the oil for those fries, it looked like 5W40 after a 100K miles run. Price is a joke, but again, that's a tourist money-drainer, so it makes sense - at least for the chain owners.
Service is simply not expecting you to be back. I've been waiting for like forty minutes, got three (!) waiters changing one another without even attempting to apologize for the delay, until finally a manager-type guy brought me that meal. He was polite and professional, so I was feeling sorry to leave a tip to some other guy who grabbed the money and rushed away without even saying good bye.
Ne-ver-mo-re... One time was bad enough for me. -

My husband and I had supper there this evening.
The place was jammed with shoppers but we managed to get a table.
It had been a while since Gord had been to one and he was craving the Chicken Tenders.
And that's what we both ordered ... I had mine with garlic mashed potatoes and he had fries and baked apples.
They were good! Yum! -

I'm not ecstatic about the service but I'm pretty satisfied about it during my experience. What was interesting was my trip from the washroom back to the table, I walked past 5+ uniformed servers as if it's a never-ending Deja Vu of them here.
I did feel a bit of impatience with our assigned server but that was our fault for waiting on that last person to begin our order. Not much happiness to be shared here, it's very business business attitude with most staff except from an occasional one. 3.5 *Star*
As to Baton Rouge standard, this is a setting to schmooze over your Associates/Partners/Date/Friend or get your friend to pay for that meal they owe you but think you forgot about. I'm a generous guy, so I didn't dig deep into my buddy's pocket therefore we came to Baton Rouge rather than The Keg or other $30+ Steak-only Steakhouses.
BBQ Baby Back Ribs(10 oz/$20) where I chose the 2 side(Coleslaw, Cinnamon Apple) option. Considering this full service environment, the price is pretty reasonable compared to portion size like other BBQ spots. It was definitely as advertised with fall-off-the-bone and you can smell some smokiness. The Rack had approximately 7 Ribs or so and the Coleslaw and Cinnamon Apple was good accompaniment.
Being generous doesn't mean I don't eat as my portion was slightly under my norm portion size while maybe perfect for some average consumers. I dug in to my friend's Fall Special Menu Steak and it was seasoned(Salt & Pepper) and cooked medium rare, melt in your mouth. I'm no Steak expert, but that price offered wasn't too bad especially with your choice of Side and Appetizer Salad.Listed in: 3.5 ***Stars***, Fire'd

I didn't expect a ton from Baton Rouge but it was OK. I had a tasty meal of a Louisiana chicken sandwich with French fries and scored a free side of the baked beans thanks to my friend who didn't want his. He was actually quite jealous of my meal. He got the Louisiana chicken, just chicken, and the breast was not much bigger than mine plus I got all the sandwich fixings. And mine was at least four dollars cheaper!
The sandwich components went well together though the chicken could have been cooked less and it tasted fresh. The French fries were a heap of pepper, crunchiness and just what I was craving but you could tell they were not homemade. The baked beans were good, a bit hot-doggy tasting if anything but the "presentation" it came with the awful! It came in a ramekin on a plate but it was as though someone had dipped the entire bowl in a huge pot of baked beans; the thing was covered and dripping the bean sauce. Luckily I could get past that.
The service walking in seemed quite professional with the greeting and seating but it went downhill from there. It was quite late in the night and the server still had to look at his paper to look at the specials, all three of them. No fancy descriptions either! Just "Cajun chicken" or "Mahi Mahi". I also had to ask for ketchup and mustard when we both had French fries. He was also quite awkward about taking plates. Like, he put a lot of thought into it before going in for the kill.
Honestly, I was thinking of giving this 3 stars but upon further inspection and reflection, I don't know if it's worth that and there are no 0.5 stars. It is a nice looking restaurant and seems like a good spot for certain occasions. But alas, it has a ways to go before this becomes a destination spot for me.Listed in: Yonge Street Hits and Misses

Said it before, and I'll say it again...Yonge/Dundas what an area...to me it is a great area because I feel comfortable there. Some areas can be too trendy, too waspy (gasp), too grunge, too punk....Yonge/Dundas is just allright, good for families, good for teens, good for anyone.
The only problem here is that this place lacks some sort of culinary identity! There are good bits and pieces here and there...but overall I find it too disjoint.
Anyway, this restaurant is nice - has good service, albeit busy staff. Prices are on the higher side, quite high actually...but the portions I found to be quite large. -

This place is hit and miss. It used to be my safe place to meet and have dinner with friends and family. I also took clients here on lunch meetings. Quality has deteriorated and noticed it on the last few visits. Last straw for me was when the mucked up my ribs. Twice. For a rib place to screw up on something they specialize on is unforgivable in my view. Ribs were dry and inedible. 2 stars was for the manager that offered to bring me another one and when I declined, just yanked the ribs off the bill.

My fiance and I stumbled upon (and I use the term loosely, because how does one stumble upon a huge restaurant) this place because the restaurant we were originally looking for, seemed to have disappeared. The place was busy, but after a surprisingly short wait we were seated and the service and food was excellent.

This is one of those places I've always wanted to go, have coveted from afar, and finally, years later, have managed to try - and was NOT disappointed.
My friend and I decided to go here because we'd both been talking about it for a while and we felt like splurging. We popped in and found out that there was about a half an hour wait (not surprising as there were people lining the booths in the waiting area) so we said we were going to come back and left our names on the list. The hostess clearly indicated on her list that we were out for a walk on our reservation and told us to come back in about 20 minutes even though the wait was 30. After walking around and shopping, we came back and within 2 minutes of arriving and letting the server know we were back, we were seated at a nice booth in the middle of the restaurant. Perfect timing.
Now anyone who's read any of my other reviews can probably tell that I'm a stickler for good service at any kind of establishment. Perhaps I expect too much but at a place where your average bill is likely to be in the $50-70 range for 2 people (or more), I expect good service. Our server wasn't bad, he just wasn't overly friendly. I also wasn't a fan of how low our table was - our server was towering over us and it just felt weird. Besides that, he made some good menu recommendations, such as my friend not getting the bbq chicken (he suggested that the other kind of chicken with veggies and cheese had more flavor) and that fries already came with our appetizer and that I might want to order different sides with my ribs unless I loved fries. Both good suggestions and both suggestions we took. I ordered the smaller size of ribs with the hot apples and coleslaw and my friend ordered the chicken with zucchini and feta cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. We started off with the chicken fingers appetizer.
Not gonna lie, these are probably the best chicken fingers I've ever had. Jack Astors chicken fingers come in a close second. The chicken was juicy, they were fresh made and the matchstick fries had some sort of addictive substance all over them that was to die for. We cleaned the app plate pretty quickly.
I will note that we had a barrage of different servers bringing us stuff but these are called expeditors in the restaurant biz. In busy restaurants, usually the expeditor is the person who transfers food from kitchen to table (or here, drinks from bar to table). They also take care of the last few garnishes, ensuring the plates are clean and no sauce has spilled (etc) and that the food going out of the kitchen is of optimal quality. Hopefully, any place you go to that has expeditors will have good presentation, food will be hot and fresh out of the kitchen. I don't really have an issue with expeditors except at places like Jack Astors where you never see your server again until its time to pony up the tip. Our server stopped by every now and then to make sure things were good, not too much but not too little.
The ribs I had were great, good portion size for the 10oz portion and those hot apples... omg... I don't know that I've ever had a more interesting and tasty side dish. They were a nice sweet note to the dish and they brought the bbq flavor out just right. I normally am not a coleslaw fan but I didn't know what else to get on the side that wasn't a starch... let me tell you, I'm now a coleslaw convert. It was crunchy, flavored just right and not oozing in sauce. Overall, the sides hit it out of the park.
I did try some of my friend's meal but I usually find chicken is nothing to write home about when it's a breast cutlet with stuff on or in it. Most places can't do chicken well and although it was ok, it was dry. The garlic mashed were fantastic though, I'd order a side of those just for the hell of it any day.
We did get dessert, my friend has a thing for cheesecake so while it was probably the plainest dessert they offered, we tried it. Nothing to write home about, but the chocolate sauce was super chocolatey and nice and thin, not goopy and thick.
The last thing I have to say is that although 2 people shared all of this food, we didn't feel like we were going to explode afterwards. It was a nice change to have appropriately portioned food, great tasting food and be able to have an appetizer and dessert and not feel grossly full. We were both really surprised and pleased with this part!
I will definitely be returning to Baton Rouge for some nice BBQ again in the future. It was a pleasant dining experience and it had a Keg-like atmosphere without the Keg-like prices. -

I was surprised when I walked in that the Eaton Center (a mall) could house such an elegant restaurant. I was very impressed by the service, ambiance and food.
I ordered the prime rib. Beautifully cooked, medium-rare, just the way I like it. I happen to enjoy horseradish sauce, so I asked for an extra side of it. It was brought to me almost immediately with a smile and flourish. You really do get better service in Canada...what a shame.
The inside is so dark and quiet that you hardly remember that you're in the biggest mall in Toronto. The tables are spacious, and you can hardly hear conversation from next-door.
The prices were a little steep, but the food and service was ultimately worth it. I will look forward to going to Eaton Center again if it means I can eat here!Listed in: The Toronto List

A friend and I walked into Baton Rouge as a last reserve after being unable to find a place to sit down and eat for what seemed like forever. We arrived around 2:00pm on a Saturday and it was quite busy, but there was no issue in being seated.
Our "first" server (Michael I believe) seemed kind of out of it and wasn't the friendliest. A perfunctory glance at the menu yielded limited vegetarian-friendly options (as could be expected, it's a steakhouse more or less), so I opted for the grilled vegetable sandwich with fries and a bottle of Stella. My friend chose the chicken tenders platter with garlic mashed potatoes and some sort of pomegranate apple cider cocktail from the seasonal drink menu. Michael disappeared, nearly forgetting to take our menus with him, and then reappeared a few minutes later to let my friend know that the garlic mashed potatoes include bacon and asked whether that's okay or not. It was great that he asked (bacon was not okay, she switched to coleslaw and hot cinnamon apples), but it seemed like it would make a lot more sense to let a diner know when they place their order instead of brusquely coming back a few minutes later and having to ask them again...just sayin'.
After placing our orders, we were served by a series of changing faces throughout our stay - a different person brought over our drinks, and can I mention that he literally threw down a cocktail napkin in front of me, slammed down a cup and peaced out? Then someone else brought out our meals, and my friend's plate had none other than a heaping pile of garlic mashed potatoes on it. Of course she had to explain to this new person about the mix-up, who returned to the magical place where food appears and promptly came back with the right plate. At one point some random man came over and asked how our meal was...he appeared to be the manager, but he could have been anybody! The portions were huge and service was fairly prompt, but the food was mediocre...my fries were terrible and my friend was rather unimpressed with her chicken tenders (why they are called "tender" is beyond me, they looked totally dry and unappetizing). I also found it kind of annoying how you have to ask for ketchup and they bring you a small dollop in a little cup...I like a lot of ketchup with my fries, and it would have been a hassle to continue asking someone to bring over some more. Is a bottle of ketchup too much to ask?
By the end of our meal, we were on our fourth or fifth server, who was lovely and polite and completely made up for the lack of service we received earlier. I hope she gets the tip, who knows how the system works at this crazy place. My bill came to $26 in total, tax and tip included - make of that what you will.
To end on a somewhat positive note, the interior of this restaurant is quite nice and the booths are comfortable and spacious, although I wouldn't return here for the food again. It might be a nice place to go for drinks and dessert, though, as I tried some of my friend's cocktail and I must say that it was excellent.
Lesson learned: never go out without finding a place to eat on Yelp first, or you'll just end up somewhere like Baton Rouge. -

Big fan of BBQ back ribs, I had to try Baton rouge and found it really TOP level! You definitively need to take the 16 oz ribs (I took the 10, because the server told me it would be enough (...) and unfortunately I left still being hungry then...). The steaks (filet mignon) seemed delicious also (my friends said it was the best steak of the year!).
So, why just 4 stars? because I agree that it is a little bit overpricy (at least for the quantity then) and the staff is (just) nice from entry to when you are being seated (as already stated in previous reviews). The servers are giving you the minimum of cheers and good/ bad pices of advice required, for you not to leave in angry mood. Whether they make a small effort on this particular point and the baton rouge experience would be 5 stars! -

Pros:
Nice looking restaurant.
Food came promptly.
Grilled calamari was good.
Chicken salad was somewhat palatable.
Cons:
Salmon & mashed potatoes were bland & boring with no presentation.
Potato soup was more like mashed potato with milk and water poured on top.
Waiter could have used a pep talk before his shift started. Thought I needed to check for a pulse at one point.
Don't waste your money; there are plenty of better food locations around this area. -

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the restaurant. With our big party, it did seem a bit crammed but we were able to manage.
The service was a tad slow. I guess it's because of the large party size. However the food was really good. The ribs were so tasty & practically falling off the bone. The portions for the sides were quite large & filling.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience & recommend you to check it out. -

Was there a week ago after seeing South Pacific.
Ordered the Chicken fingers. They offered two sides, i asked for french fries and spiced apples. they brought Cole slaw instead. The person bringing the food was not our waiter, and yet another brought our drinks. So I took a bite of the Cole Slaw. My dinner companion said i should ask for the apples. When the waiter finally came over I told him I had ordered the apples. He noticed I had taken some of the Cole Slaw and said, well you have started on the Cole Slaw. Sort of to imply that even though I had not ordered it I was eating it, and if I still wanted the apples there might be an extra charge for an extra side. Now the size of these is the little black plastic cup we have all seen. It would have cost them next to nothing to offer me a tiny cup of apples. It would also have gone a long way toward good PR. This is what i might have expected at Toby's. The food was good, so i give 3 starts. I know it was late, but this is what makes the difference between a good experience and a sour taste.
We are locals not tourists. So we will probably walk passed Baton Rouge the next time. -

Very similar to the chain Friday's in America. Huge portions. Didn't like that they wouldn't substitute even though what I had requested was the same price and I even offered to pay an additional fee. Food was decent, nothing that left me wanting for more but decent. Friendly servers. The decor is a bit dark, could definitely use a bit more lighting.

It was my first night in Toronto, and a friend who lives there suggested this restaurant, since it was walking distance to my hotel downtown. You would think with a name like Baton Rouge, it would be a New Orleans-style/Cajun or a French restaurant. Well, it's none of the above. The waitress actually told us their specialty is pork ribs. My coworker who was with us had those and I tried a rib. They were decent to above average.
My friend and I each had the top sirloin steak, which was around $23 (CAD), juicy and flavorful. It was cooked more medium than the requested medium rare but still good. With the steak I received a Caesar salad and baked potato. I was warned by the waitress that their Caesar dressing was more of a vinegarette, which I thought was odd, but it went well with the salad. The baked potato was tasty but kind of small. It's hard to find a restaurant that will give you a large baked potato with your steak, seems like. Our other diner was a child, so she ordered the pasta from the kids menu, which was a pretty big portion (she took 1/2 of it home) and it also came with ice cream.
Two of us had 2 Molson Canadian draft beers each with the meal and the total for the 3 adults and 4 kids came to around $120 (CAD), which wasn't too bad. Our server was nice and attentive. I'm not sure I'd specifically go back to this place when I visit Toronto again, but everything was decent so I wouldn't be opposed to returning. -

I don't eat here often, but I've had enough good experiences here to give it a glowing review.
The main reason this restaurant gets brownie points is because I went here for my first wedding anniversary, which happens to be on New Years Eve. My husband made reservations about a few weeks in advance and told them it was our anniversary. The staff managed to seat us at a very quiet, intimate little area. Our service was excellent, the food was fresh, and I was so impressed. Our other anniversaries at other restaurants have not measured up. They simply seem too busy to give us good service or good food.
Anyways, the food here is good. Nothing too unique, but my husband is a steak-lover, so he's covered. I have tried steaks, different kinds of chicken and the salmon. Enjoyed everything. The garlic mashed potatoes are great. I've never had room for dessert, but I would love to try them.
I've had nothing but great experiences here. -

Fabulous experience!
Service was excellent. There was no waiting to be seated or waiting for our food even though the place was getting pretty busy. The waiter was very friendly and offered menu suggestions when we asked for them.
Me and my wife both had the ribs. They were delectable. Meat falling off the bone. I didn't have to use the knife at all. The price was very good at $87 and we were stuffed. I would definitely return. -

Whenever you hit the Eaton Centre (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...), you've got the choices of places in the many food courts or one of the other restaurants in the mall. Duke of Richmond (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) is good for pub food and Mr. Greenjeans (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and City Grille (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) are decent enough. That's when Baton Rouge came in. I remember the first time I saw them here, which was the first time I heard of the franchise, so I figured I'd give them a go. Let me say first off that I went in expecting nothing. It's a restaurant in a mall for crying out loud.
The décor is dark wood and darkly lit; a labyrinth of booths and tables that snake their way back to the kitchen along the east side of the mall. The tap list and wine list are decent enough, and give you a sense that this is a higher end place, but the illusion ends there. It's a rib & burger & steak & fish place, pure and simple. The ribs are as tasty as you're going to find outside of the American mid-west or a bona fide barbecue restaurant in the city, the burgers are as decent as any other franchise, and the steaks are grilled as you'd expect from any restaurant serving them.
It's a pleasant experience and a decent option if you don't want to leave the mall. You can find more interesting places further afield outside of the Eaton Centre (is that obvious?), but there is a consequence for convenience. -

I went. I ate. I hated. The food was mediocre at best...not at all Louisiana style food as the name Baton Rouge suggests. The service was not good either...waited forever when there were only a handful of guests to wait on...and my waitress had an attittude! Being a native Texan who visited Louisiana at least 100 times I can tell you I was disheartened that the food was nothing more than bland American fare. And for the quality of service and food this place is slightly overpriced.

Another of my Toronto favorites. Great ribs and chicken, nice salads and really good fries. This last time we were there, we met the owner and had a really nice chat. He even bought our round of drinks while we waited for our table. The service has always been good and the only time we've ever had to wait is when we came in without a reservation.
