Enjoyed stopping by on lunch break with my colleagues. The food was up to standards, flavorful, and fresh. The ribs were seasoned well, somewhat zesty but good. Baked beans complimented the rice as well along with the macaroni and cheese. Will be returning soon!

I didn't eat in, I carried out. The meats are tasty, the sides are fine. I like the sweetness of the potato salad but that may not appeal to everyone. I ordered collard greens for a senior I was sitting; she said they should've been cooked more but the flavor was okay. My husband ate everything on his plate so it was great to him. Forgot to take pictures when I got the food to where I was senior-sitting. Oh, well. I would order here again if I'm in the area.

Offset Smoker BBQ – Government Street, Baton Rouge, LA ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Offset Smoker BBQ, located on Government Street between Sonic and Superior Grill, is a relatively new addition to Baton Rouge’s barbecue scene—and it’s definitely worth checking out. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the menu offers a wide variety of meats (brisket, pork belly, chicken, ribs, sausage, pulled pork, turkey) and classic Southern sides. I ordered the brisket plate with potato salad and collard greens. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and generously portioned (about five slices, including both lean and moist cuts, plus burnt ends). The collard greens were seasoned well and very tender. The potato salad, unfortunately, tasted store-bought and lacked personality. The plate came with a tangy-sweet barbec

Underrated! First off the name suggests Smoked Meats and that's exactly what I got and not a play on words. I've had the opportunity to live near Kansas City for over 10 years so when you know then you know. My food was smoked to perfection with the authentic Smoke Ring intact. The spice profile was unique in its own way using cultural flavors and the presentation was nothing short of a culinary genius. The owner and staff, you can talk to them all day, Very friendly. I've had barbecue in several different venues in Baton Rouge and surrounding cities, that put such items on their menu like brisket at a BBQ restaurant and immediately you noticed it wasn't given its proper due, none of which can compete with Offset Smoker in this space alone. If you can't make time for the 14-16 hour proces

First time trying and I was impressed by the meats that are seasoned and tender well!! The Mac and cheese taste like they were made with Kraft Mac and cheese and collard greens had no taste whatsoever but, everything else was delicious I will definitely come back to try something else something else on they menu cause I don’t live on that side of town anymore
