The Smiling Dog - Baton Rouge

It 's not a bad place. Atmosphere is a little lacking (it can 't decide if it 's a bar, a pub, or a restaurant , but it 's not a dive. Update after owner 's reply: Sorry my original wording (unmodified, above sounds harsher than intended. I 've beenbefore, would definitely go again, and have friends who swear by your establishment, so I should have included those pluses.Your wait staff have always been positive, helpful, and friendly with me. I am *personally* not enamored of the buildingitself, but that 's personal taste (I don 't hate it, just not into it . My 4 star rating only represents my incrediblysubjective take and really is only based on the single aspect that doesn 't grab me. I will definitely recommend that peoplepay you a visit if they ask! Best regards :

Sometimes the simplest places create an atmosphere of spectacular food and drink! This place has both! The sports bar feal with a simple but extremely tasty menu! Highly recommended the bacon wrapped shrimp! Service was great and there wasn't a bad seat inthe house!

Great place!! Food was fantastic and great service. Very clean and friendly. If I?m in the area again definitely going to stop.

Great food and service. Pet Friendly!! Fish and chips are a must!!! We based our to and return trip lunches on The Smiling Dog.

Went to the Smiling Dog for Brunch on Sunday after Church with my good friend who's like a little brother to me and I was not disappointed. I had the Full Monty. Which consisted of a small bowl of grits which were cooked perfect not runny at all, my eggswere scrambled but you can get them cooked however you like them, two slices of bacon, a link of sausage which I did not carebut try it anyway you may like. My friend that I was dining with enjoyed his sausage link. The other items on the plate were twopieces of French toast which were delicious and some small pieces of potato squares which were good. Our Server Victoria wasoutstanding. She did a phenomenal job of serving us. The atmosphere was quiet which I liked. There were lots of TVs to watchand you can either sit at a booth or a high top table which I always prefer due to the fact that I'm 6"2 inches tall. There arealso pool tables and some dart boards located in another room adjacent to the dining room. I highly recommend the Smiling Dogrestaurant formerly called the Londoner.
