I ordered the two-meat plate with pork ribs and brisket, and unfortunately, it was very disappointing from the start. I became concerned when I saw the meat being reheated on a flat-top skillet. The ribs were undercooked and had little to no flavor. The brisket came in small slices that were extremely oily and seemed like they were from the day before. The bark was lacking, and most of what I received was almost entirely fat. I'm not particularly picky when it comes to barbecue, but this was easily one of the worst experiences I've had!

We met friends of a friend for lunch here arriving around 10:30 AM so glad we arrived early. Upon entering the whole place is decorated 'Cajun' style, purple and gold and all things Louisiana. Walk down a step over to the back of the restaurant where the food is served cafeteria style. You can get it in a to-go container (highly recommend) or on a platter. We all chose the to-go container because he piled on the so good food!! Smothered ribs, white rice, collard greens, stuffed turkey, shrimp stew, corn, etc. The menu changes depending on the day of the week; we were there on a Thursday. Consensus amongst our group was that ALL food items were delicious. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful, quick to answer all of our many questions. Bring your appetite when visiting, it was hard to decide what to get, we were all happy with our choices. Highly recommend eating here.

The process from ordering our food to receiving it was quick and seamless. The service was welcoming and friendly. I had the solo nachos, which were enough to share as an appetizer.

It is the type of restaurant where you order at the counter, they give you a table number and then drop off your food when it's ready. There is indoor seating at tables and a well stocked full bar. Outside seating is also available. We chose inside, in hindsight sight it was a beautiful day and we should have sat outside to avoid smelling like a smokehouse when we left. Our food was very good. I ordered the smoke house salad with smoked turkey and raspberry dressing. My husband ordered the smoked 1/2 chicken with baked beans and potato salad. The salad was very generous and the turkey was moist and delicious. The raspberry dressing was a little too sweet but still good. The chicken thigh was very moist and as would be expected the breast was not as moist. Still good but a little drier. My husband tasted my turkey and said he would make a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving if he could the breast meat as moist as Mike's! All in all a good experience. There is a pretty extensive offering of beers and a very limited wine offering.

"How good can strip mall BBQ be?" was my initial thought but the line of 10 people waiting to get in that early eased my thinking. To answer my own question, strip mall BBQ can apparently be great! I got a 2-meat plate with the brisket, Dr Pepper glazed sticky ribs, green chili corn casserole and smokey beans. As you are ordering the brisket they ask if you want it sliced or chopped, and if you want lean, fatty or burnt ends. I knew it would be good then. The lean brisket was solid, a little peppery on the bark. I'd have liked it to be a little smokier and the bark a little more flavorful but that's the only complaint you will get in this review. The Dr Pepper sticky ribs were phenomenal! Sweet, smokey dessert like meaty goodness. It was almost pornographic what I did to those bones. The smokey beans lived up to that name for sure and the green chili corn casserole was unique and delicious. This is a definitely a place I will repeat when I am back in Lafayette.

It is a small place in a strip mall, so seating is limited. That being said the last time I was there, there was quite a line, so obviously people believe that it is worth it. Take your own data. For me, it is just a bit pricey for what you get.

Thus far I have tried the brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, armadillo egg and potato salad. My first two visits the pulled pork and brisket were hot, tender and moist. The potato salad is good but not great in my opinion. I like that you get pickles and pickled onions with your orders. The BBQ sauce is pretty good. The first time I visited they had an asian inspired BBQ sauce which was really good. Their prices are on par or maybe even a little bit more reasonable than other BBQ spots. Plus, it's always easier to pay the price for BBQ when it's actually good and you feel like you got what you paid for.

Service is great, prices are very reasonable for BBQ, and the food is always delicious. And their Asian BBQ sauce is incredible. It's a walk up and order, seat yourself at picnic table style restaurant. Great spot for lunch any day of the week but not necessarily a nighttime vibe if you ask me. Either way, the food here is very tasty, and I plan to be back very soon.
