Great service, imaginative food offerings, reasonably priced. Did I mention great service? It was much better than I would call good. Very engaging staff. This is a must go!

The most amazing pulled pork quesadillas! Love coming here the service is great and the meat always has a deep smoky flavor. Mac n cheese

Absolutely love coming here. They have daily specials 12$ can't beat it! My personal favorites are the pulled pork quesadilla and their famous Mac and Cheese. Service is always top notch.

Don't let the façade for you! There are great eats in East gate barbecue! My husband and I like trying new places and this was our choice for today. If you enjoy smoked pork, this place has it but I'll go one step further and say if you enjoy spice and great seasoning, you've met your match. They even have "The Big Skinny"...

Wow y'all. I got to give this place five out of five. Got the three plate with two sides. I am to dang full. It will fill you up and then some. Also brew their own tea so it just tops off the meal. Can't decide if I like the Brisket or the Ribs the most so both are a must. The young ladies that work also give you great service with a great smile. I'll be back as they say.

Chicken, pulled pork, beans, bread, Mac n cheese ($18.43 after tax)

This place has surprisingly good BBQ, but at a price! I ordered the 2 meat plate which comes with two sides for $13.75. You have your choices of brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and chicken, however if you want chicken then it will cost extra (i.e. Dark Meat is additional $3.25). I find that the extra charge for chicken is kind of expensive because you already pay for "2 meats", but perhaps it requires more attention to cook. The total for my meal (w/ a cup of water) was $18.43 after tax and before tip. After ~16% tip, my end total was about $21.43. The food came out quickly. The pulled pork was very tender and not overly seasoned - much better pulled pork than the one I made myself! Wish I had more though. The dark meat chicken was good, however not the best I had. The meat wasn't as moist as I expected so I had to look for the BBQ sauce. The good thing is that they have a variety of BBQ sauce flavors such as fig, honey garlic, jalopeno maple, roasted mustard, and of course the original. I tried the fig, honey garlic, and original with both meats and didn't like either one but I appreciated the variety and creativity. Overall the meal was good and filling. I ordered the beans and mac n' cheese as my two sides. The beans were awesome and the mac n' cheese hit the spot! This place exceeded my expectation for Morgan City BBQ.

Trash grits, pepper jack grits with fried onion pulled pork and a fried egg on top!

I love this place! It's small and you might pass it up, but don't! You'd be making a big mistake! The food is delicious and fresh! All of the food is fresh made and the BBQ is sone of the best I've had. Some of the daily specials are really good! I had the trash grits and the were amazing! Spicy pepper jack grits with fried onions and pulled pork with a fried egg on top! It's not for breakfast!!! And if you put the jalapeño maple BBQ on top... oh yeah!! Plus, 4$ draft beer, man, you can't beat it. The staff is awesome and really friendly, next time you drive by, stop and give it a try, plus you can get a to go order and take it home or back to your hotel! Oh yeah... Harlans baked beans are crazy good!

Craving for BBQ was satisfied...somewhat. Not much variety in good old Morgan City, but had a craving for some bbq. This place is relatively new so I wanted to give them a try. I'm a big fan of bbq and have tried bbq from Texas to Tennessee. Inside the place looks like a typical dive like a mom and pop restaurant with a nice homely feel. On the menu, they state that their bbq is cooked and smoked on their wood burning pit. I wanted some ribs, but they ran out for the day so I decided to get the "You Ole Hog" which is a combination plate with 3 meats and 2 sides. Since there was no ribs, I went ahead and got the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage along a BIG cup of raspberry iced tea. The two sides I got was the potato salad and mac and cheese. I'll start off with the sides; the mac and cheese was just meh. I was expecting cheesy goodness, but it tasted like cheapo brand boxed mac and cheese. The potato salad was decent and is mustard based. Since this is a bbq place , I can forgive them for their sides since the meats are suppose to be the main attraction. So I tried out the pulled pork first and a lot of the pieces were kind of burnt, and the ones that wasn't tasted pretty good. It had a nice smokey flavor and not mushy like most pulled pork I've tried. Next stop: sausage town. The sausage is homemade and tasted very good. Tasted like a smoked Italian bbq sausage which was fine by me since I like Italian sausage. And then there was the brisket. I'm not a fan of chopped brisket so I'm glad they served sliced briskets instead. The briskets was tender and good, but I wished it was even more tender and a lil less chewy. Don't like eating a rubber tire you know. A lil more time on the pit would probably work wonders. In all I enjoyed it and the bbq served its' purpose and satisfied my bbq craving. I'll definitely be back to try their ribs and burgers. Oh yea they also have something called the Big Skinny which cost $50 on the menu. It's four 8 oz. black Angus burgers on a 24 inch loaf of French bread topped with brisket, pulled pork, cheddar, pepper jack, and American cheese, then finished with sauteed mushrooms and grilled onions.

Who gets the "fresh catch" at a BBQ joint??? This guy!

Stopped in for lunch while hanging out in Morgan City, the parking lot was filled but there was no…read morewait time to be seated this place is pretty big. Our wonderful server Haily greeted us and got our drink orders while we looked over the menu and daily specials. We decided to share a roast beef poboy minus the veggie toppings and the shrimp stew lunch special served with white rice and (bland) can corn with a slice of crusty french bread and vegetable oil spread. The roast beef poboy was ginormous and filled with a mountain of tender roast beef and gravy the gravy was a little starchy as was the shrimp stew almost like they use a jar or powdered gravy instead of a homemade roux starter which was a little disappointing I would think everything would be homemade in this little hometown restaurant- nothing bad here by any means but just a little effort would be a game changer in my opinion. All in all we had a good experience and great service and the prices are very very reasonable, if I was a local I would definitely return as for me I'd probably explore the area a little more, my review doesn't come from a total outsider I was born and raised in Louisiana so I've been eating this style of food my entire life - just saying...
