TJ Ribs A Baton Rouge original for over 30 years, TJ Ribs serves the worlds best baby back ribs, fresh seafood and Cajun-inspired comfort food. As you can see, T.J.
(2863)

For decades, we’ve served up our award-winning baby back ribs with all the fixin’s to our beloved Baton Rouge... Every college town needs a good rib joint to satisfy the carnivorous cravings of its rabid fans and Baton Rouge is no different. So in the late 1980s, TJM Restaurant Management began looking to open a rib franchise in The Capitol City. After researching a variety of concepts, we could not find one that met our rigid standards of quality. Baton Rouge sports fans like a winner and TJ Moran wouldn’t settle for giving them less than the best. So, while many of the region’s rib restaurants were serving spare ribs, T.J.’s sought uncompromising quality and expanded his menu to include succulent back ribs—a novel concept back then. After trial and error, and input from a variety of specialists, T.J. Ribs settled upon our famous recipe. Though we can’t comment on the specifics, we can say it’s an intricate process that combines dry rubs, marinating, roasting, cooling and finishing on the grill with our own special sauce. However, it all begins with the finest, select baby back ribs available from one of the nation’s premier specialty meat companies. Ribs is all about passion. It’s about the passion of a man who wanted the best. It’s about the passion of a staff and the dedication to the job they do. Most of all, it’s about the passion we take in serving the absolute best barbeque ribs (and more) in the region. As many of our customers put it, “I just don’t think of going any place else to eat ribs, because I know I’ll just be disappointed.”

T.J. Ribs is also about the passion of LSU athletics. One look around the restaurant will stir a sports lover’s soul and send a wave of pride and nostalgia through any Tiger fan. No other restaurant and few museums boast such a historic collection of LSU memorabilia, including Billy Cannon’s 1959 Heisman Trophy. And don’t be surprised to see history in the flesh as many of our professional athletes make it a point to get their “Ribs fix” anytime they’re even close to Baton Rouge. More than ribs and more than a sports fan’s haven, T.J.’s chicken, pulled pork, burgers and delicious steaks satisfy a variety of customers from families to business persons on the go. And our famous “20-minute Lunch” can get you in and out, and back to work within an hour. So, if you’re passionate about good food and the best ribs you’ll ever taste, come to T.J. Ribs where you’ll always have a place at our table.
