Come experience our Legendary Louisiana BBQ.
Located in the heart of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, TJ Ribs has been serving the world's best baby back ribs, fresh seafood, and Cajun-inspired comfort food for over 30 years. As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on our commitment to exceptional service, delicious cuisine, and outstanding hospitality. Our story began in the late 1980s, when our founder, TJ Moran, had a vision to revolutionize the traditional BBQ scene by serving baby back ribs, a unique concept at the time.
Our History
In the late 1980s, TJ Moran identified a need for a rib joint that would redefine Louisiana BBQ. While other restaurants were serving standard issue spare ribs, Mr. Moran decided to serve baby back ribs, something that was unheard of at the time. Our famous recipe slowly emerged: a delicate combination of dry rubbing, marinating, roasting, cooling, and a few other time-tested, home-kitchen secrets.
Our restaurant has become a beloved institution in Baton Rouge, and we're proud to have maintained our commitment to quality and excellence throughout the years. We're passionate about three things: great food, exceptional service, and LSU sports. Our restaurant is a must-visit destination for LSU Tiger fans, with an impressive display of LSU memorabilia, including the revered Billy Cannon's 1959 Heisman trophy.
