Quiet, more food than you can eat. Best ribs I've had in Ontario and the wait staff / servers are very personable. Great place.
The meal was fantastic! Service was great, portion sizes were just right and the whole meal was so tasty! A really pleasant evening out with friends.
Really enjoyed the food and the service but there were a few hiccups.
We each ordered a full rack of ribs which were on special for 27$. We all enjoyed the flavour but the ribs were a bit overdone.
One thing that was great was the suggestion of baked French fries rather than fried. This allowed my friend who is gluten sensitive have the fries without worrying of cross contamination. These were tasty and crisp.
The wine list was smaller than before. This was disappointing but we did get a nice glass of Shiraz.
We also frères some specialty coffee which wasps enjoyable.
Overall I would recommend this place.

As the year draws to an end, it was time for SWMBO and I to celebrate some successes. We discussed a few options and chose Bâton Rouge, not too far away from us. We made reservations, because we didn’t know how busy it would be on a Friday evening just before New Years. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full, and we were promptly seated.
Unfortunately we were seated near a large group with a whole bunch of little kids. Maybe 8 to 10 adults, and at least a dozen kids, ranging in age from 1 to 10. Some of the kids were well behaved, but a few were shouting, and a couple of the adults were shouting at the kids about their shouting. There were unattended little kids standing on chairs, and climbing on railings. Turns out they were there to celebrate a birthday for one of the boys. From our perspective it would have been better for them to go to place like Chuck E. Cheeses. They really were an unfortunate distraction.
Now for our meal. We decided to go with one of their fixed price specials. There were about eight choices, which included salad, main course, and dessert.
We both started with a Caesar Salad. The salad came very quickly after we placed our order. The dressing was a bit lighter, less cheesy, and a touch sweeter than other comparable salads. It wasn’t bad, but it was different.
For our main course we both picked the Top Sirloin Steak and Lobster Tail. SWMBO likes her steak medium-well (just a touch of pink), and I’m a medium steak person. It looks like Baton Rouge uses the thickness approach to cook steaks, where they cook the steaks the same amount of time, but a thicker steak will be less cooked in the middle. SWMBO’s steak was thinner than mine, and therefore had a warmer middle. Regardless of how they do it, they got it right. Both our steaks had a nice, light top and bottom crust, with some seasoning that added flavour to each bite. They also provided a small serving of gravy for the steak that was pretty decent.
The lobster tail (about 5 to 6 ounces) was served with the meat sitting atop the opened tail, still attached at the tail end, served with a small pot of melted butter. The tail was tender and flavourful.
Our final course was the Chef’s Choice, which our server called a truffle cake with chocolate . It felt and tasted like like mousse. Regardless, it was a decadent ant tasty way to finish the meal.
Now if only we hadn’t been distracted by that loud group, it would have been an excellent dining experience.
I normally avoid chains but, in town late so stopped next to my hotel. Mushrooms stuffed with lobster was great and General Tao chicken salad was also good. A good experience and good food.
The food and service is always very consistent here which is a huge plus. I love their steak salad and seafood platter.. yumm!! Ribs are always a great option too!!!

It was surprisingly busy, lots of large tables, lots of bday celebrations going on.
It was a neat mixed crowd, tables of families with children, tables of men doing boys night, tables of 20-30-40 something's, seniors.
Its located in a plaza full of restaurants. Its on a side of the building with limited parking near the Dior, but don't fret, there about 1000 spaces at the rear of the building. I, being a master at the art of parking and finding spaces, (laziness?) I managed to score a space across from the door. Already love that place. :)
I like how the outside looks, dark wood and brass.
There's seating at the door for those who come too early and have to wait for guests
I've been to this restaurant before, just to pick up take out at the bar, so I've never seen the seating place before. Its nice, a mixture of tables and booths. Tables were big and a bit squished. Not the most comfy when you are wedged in.
Decor, more dark and brass. Its nice, feels like a high end pub.
Wait staff, nice. Very efficient. Attentive despite all the customers. Its a well piled machine. Kudos.
Food, yum. Yum yum. I got the goat cheese steak with baked potatoes and veg. It was beautifully done. Steak was evenly cooked, soft, easy to cut. Baked potato well done as well, evenly cooked, not overdone, or feeling like its been sitting in a heater for hours.
Others got ribs and chicken. They loved it. I stole a few fries, thin and crispy. Yum!
Cost, wish it was less expensive but, the good is great. Quality ingredients. Worth the price!
Would come again.
Impresssed. Where did these guys come from? Went to the Highway 7 location and the food was good and service prompt, a little too prompt. Let me explain they sat us, took our orders and food came fast and by the way the waitresses are sweet. This is a classy restaurant. So of course we noticed the rocking waitresses and decided to order some alcohol and stay longer so let's not be too fast now and rush us out of here. I did not taste the ribs but supposedly they were very good. I can say the same thing about my steak. Flavourful. And those waitresses wow . We will be back for sure.
Excellent meal at the Baton in Thornhill. I have eaten at the Baton restaurant on Front Street and found the food mediocre and overpriced; the Baton in Thornhill is far superior. In addition, the ambiance is better than the downtown location (the photos don't do it justice). We started with the Mississippi Delta Calamari, the pieces of squid where cut very large but surprisingly they were tender, not chewy. The Louisiana Spinach dip is the best in the city; creamy and delicious! The portions for both were large enough for sharing. I had steak that was expertly seasoned and tender. My daughter had pasta primavera; Alfredo sauces can be bland when prepared incorrectly, this one is wonderful. The quality of the food is as good as the Keg; but at the Baton they offer a greater variety at a more reasonable price. It was busy on a Saturday night so I suggest making a reservation.
Return visit. Ribs ribs ribs. Service was beautiful. Food was more than expected in quantity. Taste was decent. The place to go for ribs. 80%

For Vday, was Perfect. 2 weeks ago, a girl in one of my classes made a reservation for Baton Rouge. That got me to thinking, "excellent place to take my girlfriend out for Valentine's." It was.
I had only ever been to one other Baton Rouge and that was the Front Street location. While the food that night was great, it wasn't stellar.
That all changed last night as we were seated and treated to laughs from our server (Tim I think his name was? He half hiccuped when he said his name). After explaining to my girlfriend the different cuts of beef and how meat is cooked, our server returned and told her the same stuff I did; knowledgable staff is always a plus.
I got my usual back ribs, my girlfriend got a prime rib steak. The ribs were MILES better than my last visit to BR, as well were the beans. The fries are also a little bit bigger than they were, however the spicy salt on them was brilliant and I appreciated the (slightly) larger size. The steak was beautifully medium-rare and even though she likes medium and I like medium-well, it was thoroughly enjoyed by her and myself (when she couldn't finish it).
It was the brilliant capper to a long, stressful, but enjoyable Valentine's day. This BR location is a winner indeed.
The Best Ribs. If you love ribs, you have to try them at Baton Rouge. The portions are big, the prices are good and the service is excellent.
Great atmosphere, and good food. The steak was made the way I asked (medium-well), and the veggies were so soft and tasty. I usually love mashed potatoes but this one had a sour taste which I wasn’t fond of. More items/options on the menu would be great. My senior director from California and I came here for lunch and there wasn’t much options in the menu to choose from.
I love the ambience here. Baton Rouge Steakhouse reminds me of Fleming’s Steakhouse. I ordered the Thai steak salad and it was sooo good. I actually think it’s better than Houston’s Thai steak salad. My friend ordered the prime rib sandwich and enjoyed every bite. Our server was friendly and attentive.
Nice environment, lots of booths sections, servers were nice and kind. Ordered 12 oz New York Striploin beef steak and Caesar salad, it was delicious and nicely seasoned. Overall 4 stars!!!
Best ribs! We went for diner on a Saturday night and it was great. The waitress recommended some cocktails and they were really good. The food was delicious as well. Nothing was a miss. Service was impecable.
Haven’t been here in more than 2 years. A new menu but the ribs and the shoestring fries are still great. Service was good and it wasn’t too busy which was nice.
Tim, awesome bartender, made some fantastic old fashioned and Manhattans with bearface eye for me. I had dinner here every night while staying at the Hilton nearby. Never had that rye before and it was pretty tasty. Megan, I training was quite nice and learned what limonchello was. At the end of a successful job I was able to have a prime rib that was seasoned well and the horseradish enchanted well tasting quite fresh. Shout out to the other bartender christene who served me on Thursday. Limonchello after the prime rib was a delight.
Baton Rouge is always good.. This time especially so.. They went back to offering multiple size cuts of the Prime rib . This was a very Good idea. of course my wife and I Ordered the largest cuts :) They were delicious And perfectly cooked.. We went at lunch so we Could be sure to get rare pieces . The Server was great. Love the Ambience.It's not cheap, but the price of food has gone up everywhere and that has to affect their market.
