Today I stumbled across Baton Rouge's worst barbecue joint, Deep South Barbecue. I went with the brisket and rib plate. To start with, this was by far the worst brisket I have ever had. It was dry, tough, and just plain tasted horrible. I would imagine that canned brisket in water (I've seen it before) would have to taste better than this.

Next I started on the ribs. I’m not going to downplay the taste that much. It was just alright, but not the worst I've ever had. The bad part was the poor quality of the meat. It too was tough and very fatty.

On the side I ordered the spaghetti and cheese and baked beans (AKA Bush's Baked Beans). Well we all love us some Bush's, but where is the creativity here guys. The Spaghetti and cheese here is just another classic spin off of every other barbecue restaurants and it was bland and pretty boring. I'll be staying away from this place for a while.

Service
The service was pretty slow, especially for it being the usual assembly line barbecue restaurant. They made about four other plates before getting to ours.

Atmosphere
I guess there is really nothing good to say about my experience at Deep South barbecue. The food was bad, the service was slow and now I get to talk about the dinginess of the building. the place is a total dive. It is a very old building, missing a ceiling with sub-par dining furniture. On top of that, it's really not in the greatest neighborhood either.
