Smoked Oxtails -- Smoke Bayou's Sunday tradition

Smoke Bayou's smoked oxtails are a Baton Rouge institution served on Sundays only. They consistently sell out before closing time.

Few BBQ restaurants in Louisiana put oxtails on the pit. Smoke Bayou makes them a weekly ritual: available every Sunday, slow-smoked until the collagen-rich meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender with a deep smoky crust. The Sunday oxtail is one of the restaurant's most-discussed dishes in Baton Rouge food circles.

They sell out. If oxtails are your reason for visiting, call ahead at 225-335-7208 to confirm availability before making the trip, and plan to arrive before mid-afternoon.

  • Available: Sundays only
  • Sell-out risk: High -- arrive early
  • Style: Slow-smoked, fall-off-the-bone
  • Call ahead: 225-335-7208
  • Location: 10655 Coursey Blvd or 4355 Inniswold Rd

About Smoke Bayou

Born in Baton Rouge, perfected by the pit.

Smoke Bayou was founded by Calvin Collier, a Baton Rouge pitmaster whose path to opening a restaurant ran through an unlikely detour. In 2020, Collier contracted malaria while returning from work in West Africa. Recovering in the hospital, he made a decision: stop postponing the dream. He opened Smoke Bayou in Baton Rouge, built around one discipline -- slow-smoked meats done right.

The restaurant serves beef brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken, and smoked sausage out of an in-house pit, alongside scratch-made Southern sides: Mac N Cheese, Baked Beans, Collard Greens, Potato Salad, Yams, Cabbage, and Smoked Vegetables. Sundays bring the pit's most specialized offering: smoked oxtails, available for one day each week until they sell out.

Smoke Bayou now operates from two locations in Baton Rouge -- Coursey Blvd and Inniswold Rd -- and offers full catering services and holiday pre-orders for whole smoked turkeys and glazed hams.

Sides & dietary info

Scratch-made Southern sides at Smoke Bayou

All entrees and combo plates include a choice of two sides from Smoke Bayou's rotating selection of scratch-made Southern accompaniments. The sides are as deliberate as the smoked meats: slow-cooked, seasoned, and built to complement the pit proteins.

Side prices are not listed publicly and vary. Check the in-store menu or call ahead for current pricing on individual sides.

For allergen and dietary-specific inquiries, call 225-335-7208 or ask a team member in-store. The kitchen uses smoked meats in several sides (e.g. collard greens).

  • Mac N Cheese -- scratch-made, creamy, the most-requested side
  • Baked Beans -- smoky Southern style, slow-cooked
  • Collard Greens -- braised with smoked meat seasoning
  • Potato Salad -- house-made Southern style
  • Yams -- sweet candied yams
  • Cabbage -- braised low and slow
  • Smoked Vegetables -- seasonal, finished on the pit
  • Coleslaw -- creamy, cool contrast to the smoked meat
