Serving legendary Louisiana BBQ and award-winning baby ribs for over 30 years.
In the late 1980s, founder TJ Moran decided Baton Rouge needed the kind of rib joint that would redefine Louisiana BBQ. While other restaurants were dishing up standard issue spare ribs, Mr. Moran decided to serve baby back ribs, something unique at the time.
