Unleaded BBQ

I must say, Baton Rouge has finally got a decent BBQ place in town, which has always been lacking. Growing up smoking meats in my Oklahoma Joe smoker with a side firebox and smoking chamber has made me appreciate good BBQ, which this place definitely has. After talking with the chef after walking in, I find out he’s also from Texas, and after tasting the pulled pork and chopped brisket, I knew this place definitely has a future in BR. Not only is it great BBQ compared to other places in town, the brisket is the best I’ve ever had, besides my own, of course.😁

The friendliest customer service on Perkins road is how your experience starts when you enter Unleaded. A converted Conoco station now hosts a delectable barbeque experience. The back area next to Leroy the Pig is where Phil smokes the meat fresh daily. An assortment of sauces including Garlic Honey, Sweet and Spicy and the staple, Unleaded BBQ give you a few options. Those wings are so smoked they're black, but succulent and delicious. The BBQ Brisket Egg Rolls are a delight but don't forget the sides. They have collard greens, Mac and Cheese and Spoon Bread which is like corn bread but mashed. The bar inside has more liquor than the store and a few televisions to watch football. The patio is nice but don't mind the sound of Interstate 10 in the background, it's just the sound of freedom. Jack Kerouac would have been proud to eat here and I know he would have appreciated local artist Stacey Rhoades whose work is featured inside for sale, depicting scenes from Route 66. Get your kicks at Unleaded!

Unleaded BBQ is a must-try for the bbq scene in BR! The ribs were tender and flavorful, and the rub on the brisket was perfection! The potato salad was like eating a creamy loaded baked potato! The greens brought back memories of my grandma’s cooking! I love that they are dog friendly, and the patio is perfect for the fall temps! Magnolia and I will definitely be back soon!

Nice place. Went here on a whim with a customer. Got the tater and beans. Customer liked their two meat plate. Tater was good. Beans were a little weird. Had peanut butter in them, if they hadn’t mentioned that at the registers I would have never guessed.

Y’all grab your family and friends and share the word! Lots of seating inside, outside, & at the bar inside .

Decor is spot on! Lots of wood everywhere! Good solid sturdy chairs and benches. When you enter you have a small hint of smoke but doesn’t burn your eyes or overtake the pleasure of inside comfort. Promotion of art work for sale if you like tractors, old cars & trucks.

Plenty of friendly staff. The smoker chef Phillip came out and greeted us. In our conversation he uses cherry and pecan for smoker. This is his passion as a chef!

We had brisket and ribs with side potato salad bake beans. We tried all the sauces but favored garlic honey.
