Great taste and excellent service. Cashier was patient while I decided what to order to go. I'll dine in next time.

Great bbq for the area! I am from KC so I am picky about bbq but theirs is great! I have had the brisket both times I have been. It is delicious. The cornbread is great as well. The strawberry lemonade is so refreshing. They have a great selection of sauces which I appreciate. The service is pretty quick. I recommend visiting! read more

Gonna put my one complaint on top. What would make this five stars is consistency. My husband and I have ordered out from here several times in the last few months because we absolutely loved our first try. But each time was different from the last. The first was an absolute knockout! Tender, fatty brisket and moist pork. Our second time, the brisket was...smaller and definitely dry. The pork was dry, kind of burnt, and cut in a weird way? I wish I could better describe it but that's what I got. Then another time I got ribs and the ribs were definitely dry. But then another time I got the brisket again and it was amazing!!! The sides are very consistent. The Texas toast is not great, in my opinion. It was thin and not really toasty/toasted. The cornbread is alright. Mac 'n cheese is a standard mac. The slaw is good. But if you get any of the sides, get the potato salad. It delicious! I'm actually allergic to it (I have a weird egg allergy....it's complicated) and I still can't help but sneak bites of it. We keep coming back here because when it's good, it's really good. But when it's not, it's such a sorry disappointment and waste of our budget for eating out. But I have a lot of hope for this place. I hope it gets better because, again, when it's good....it's really good. read more

Exquisite urban environment with lots of space and very family oriented staff. My buddy and I tried out Revolution for the first time this week and overall had decent things to say. Thankful that the prices don't take advantage but noticed that my buddy's order of ribs surprisingly made it out of the kichen, extremely fatty and lacking flavor, required a lot more digging and scraping then restaurant ribs I have become used to that rather fall off the bone with a few pokes and nibbles. Surprisingly Cheddar's comes to mind as some of the best ribs in the area. He should have ordered the pork or copied me for briscut! My 8oz was tender, nicely seasoned, soft enough, quite generous with the sides too unlike *cough* the new Ripple place nextdoor *cough* - I made the silly rookie mistake of saying beans for a side meaning the green beans but ended up with the basic beans. Would have been fine but the heavy beans along with my wonderful thick chili made for rich sides, filling n all but I'll do the slaw next time. I sampled the potato salad, rave reviews easy! The bar area is a splendid mix of classy and neat, great specialty slushies for the refined adult still trying to grow up. Of course I got the whiskey root beer! So good! Stuff of pool parties in fancy beach houses, a good size too, overall fitting well with the meats. Ended with an apple pie because they were out of banana cream (weeping), crust was very crusty and filling quite sweet, still easy to eat. Despite the weird turnout with the ribs, we both agreed we will have to come back and sample more of the menu to make sure the ribs were not just a fluke. read more

Had high expectations since it was rated 4.5 stars on Yelp but was rather disappointed with the food. Ordered a pound of the brisket that was dry; tried to add more sauce to moisten the meat but it was futile. Also ordered the 1/2 chicken and again the meat was overly dry which made it difficult to chew. The place was not busy at all, there were at least 3 servers but we were not attended to promptly and had to remind for our leftover boxes and check. Not the best experience. read more

We stopped here for a late dinner on a road trip from the Chicago area to Cincinnati and were very pleased with our meal. It was a Friday evening, so the downtown area was quite busy- but there was a lot of outdoor seating in the Covid-19 era. This restaurant almost has 2 spaces- a counter service space and a full bar area. I tried a froze beverage from the bar- it was very refreshing on a hot day- and the bartender was very friendly. We ordered our food at the counter service space, and they were friendly and efficient. I had the ribs, potato salad, and coleslaw and thought it was all quite good- my husband felt his brisket was just alright- but also really enjoyed his sides. Glad we found this little gem while road-tripping. read more

This was such a great find! My husband and I love barbecue and this restaurant totally nailed it. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous with rich, brick walls. The bar looks super cool too! We started with Whiskey + Cherry Coke and Winter Sangria slushees, and they were amazing! Wonderful flavors and the consistency was perfect. For dinner, we shared one of their platters -- the pulled pork, but we also added the brisket to it. We got sides of potato salad and Mac n cheese. The platter came with Texas toast as well. Everything was DELICIOUS. The brisket and pork were more traditional -- slices of brisket and roughly pulled pork, which we really liked. The Mac n cheese was also....incredible. The meal came with four barbecue sauces -- the mustard and strawberry jalapeño were my favorites, and my husband was happy with their original. They also had a hot barbecue option! The bartender was our server and he was very attentive, making sure that our needs were met throughout the meal. All in all, it was a great experience! read more

Stopped in for lunch the other day and had the brisket and brie sandwich. It was AMAZING! Brisket was moist and tender with a very good bark. Had never had brie before but it was very complimentary to the brisket, as was the jalapeno jam. Will need to return and try more. read more

Let's start with the good: customer service and strawberry Habanero BBQ sauce, great. Brisket, good seasoning , but a little dry The bad: the sides. Unseasoned, no flavor. Fried pickles, unseasoned, not pickled enough...more like fried cucumbers. Soda beans...eh, I see the vision but needs salt or something. Texas Toast...just no read more

As an active member of downtown, this is my spot. They have the best Mac n cheese in town, their tacos are to die for, and their bartender, Vaniesa, is a craft cocktail goddess This bar is a beautiful blend of classy and comfort and will have you sticking around for hours. If you haven't tried this place, I absolutely recommend doing so, and if you have, I'm sure you're already planning your next trip back read more

We enjoyed our time here last night. We sat outside and enjoyed the great weather while drinking their homemade strawberry lemonades. Their brisket was delicious! You can pick a few different sauces with your meal-I tried their original bbq and peach mustard, both were sweeter than I expected but still yummy. Their baked beans, potato salad, Mac n cheese, and homemade pickles were also great. We will definitely be back! read more

Ate here for the first time we got a couple of the sandwiches. My wife got The OG (pulled pork) and loved it. I got the Brisket with Brie and jalapeños jam - awesome! The tots were great and my wife loved the beans. read more

Absolutely delicious food! We had them cater our graduation party and the guests could not stop raving about the food. They were super easy to work with and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Hubby and friends looking for something new abs boy did we find it. Great BBQ, awesome tacos, killer desserts. Love the vibe of the place. We will Be back again! read more

Food was good, unfortunately they are rough on the organization end. 15 people standing outside waiting, they opened late. One of the people waiting called to alert them that they had a crowd waiting, still took a few minutes before they let us in. Disorganized at taking orders at their main single register, finally they took people to a second one that's had no numbers, trays or a way to get drinks. Tried to order some of their sides, were told they out, even though they just opened. They also were out of forks! Shame since the food was good, but at the prices they charge it's unacceptable. East End Grill and Black Sparrow are fantastic lunch spots that execute better at a lower price where you can get in and out for your lunch hour. read more

We ordered takeout and opted for the Friday special of the day, the Smokehouse Burger. It's a burger topped with pulled pork, cheese, onion and strawberry habanero sauce. The burger had a very generous amount of toppings, and the bun was homemade. It was a great combination of flavors! We loved the sauce, tasted like strawberries on the front end and then hit you with the heat. We opted for the creamy slaw and potato salad as our sides. The slaw was crunchy and not too sweet or soupy. The potato salad had a great texture and flavor. Service was quick and friendly. They had my order available to pickup in 10 minutes. read more

Really not great. Been here twice and both times food is cold. Pulled pork is really flavorless. The mac and cheese is gritty...which I can't stand. And the Cole slaw...it's all vinegar. There are way better bbq places in town. read more

THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING. Came in early Sunday with my family after a long weekend and had an amazing experience. The food and drinks were on point and the service was unbelievably good. Definitely come here if you're passing through or a local. read more

Love the extensive gluten-free menu that does not sacrifice taste! Great portion sizes. Try the grit cakes, you won't be disappointed!

I love barbecue. I got a smoker at home and I like going out. What I really like is when I go out and their bbq is better than my bbq. Nuff said! read more

This was the best bbq I've eaten in a very, very long time. Everything was truly top-notch. I was pleasantly surprised to see the cornbread was in waffle form. It was perfectly dense, but in the right way. The brisket spoiled me, and the creamy cole slaw was the perfect cold, crunchy element. read more

I ordered two sides for lunch, and it was just enough, and it was good. They were listed on the menu as $4 apiece, and because I was paying by card, the waitress showed me the screen - and although each charge was not delineated, it was more than $11. PRE-tip. I asked what the extra $3 was for, and the waitress said it's a new "service charge." This wasn't listed on the menu, or a door, or anything. And it wasn't for the use of the card; the system was way less convenient for those in my party paying cash. It's sneaky and underhanded. I might never return. read more

Couldn't order online so called to place order. They were out of vinagrette Cole slaw. They didn't include BBQ sauce nor did they ask me if I wanted any. They gave me Texas toast instead of cornbread. Ribs weren't warm and were super fatty. When I called up about the issues the woman who answered was incredibly rude and blamed me for not asking for sauce. I spoke to the manager and he was apologetic but they should have offered me some sort of credit In my mind this is revolutionarily disappointing read more

In town for a band competition. On the way to town we were looking for a gluten free dining option. We stumbled across this restaurant. Turned out to be a great option. We ordered carryout. Cool vibe if we had stayed to enjoy on site. The chef came out to verify our allergy needs before completing our order. They wanted to make sure they met all our needs. Very reassuring for them to take the time to be accurate in preparing. Food was very good. Large portions. Great flavor. The bama white sauce was good on everything. Smoked Turkey was moist and very good. This is a highly recommended spot for anyone in Lafayette. Well done! read more

Best Bbq in town, HANDS DOWN. Their sauces are delicious, but honestly, you don't even need a sauce. Fantastic, fall apart, tender, one of a kind meat, with out of this world cornbread and sides. read more

great (hipster?) vibe, fun cocktails, good barbeque. Exceptional service by the bartender. It feels both like a neighborhood and cosmopolitan place with stories to tell and forget take-out, just take a seat! read more

More like 3.5! The food definitely wasn't bad by any means, just not really what I expect from a barbeque spot. (I'm from the Carolinas for reference) I do super appreciate the addition of outdoor seating and will almost certainly return to the bar once COVID dies down. The smoked chicken was pretty good. Only complaint is that the house bbq sauce tasted extremely strongly of cumin? It wasn't like any bbq sauce I've ever had before. The mustard greens were gritty. You really have to wash those suckers. The cornbread was surprisingly good. It was definitely the best thing on my plate. read more

So so so so good. Literally everything is fantastic. Recommend the brisket sandwich. If you like horseradish go with the Alabama white sauce. Must get the cornbread with sorghum butter. Desserts are homemade. Cannot say enough good things about the food here. If you are scoping out BBQ places, just stop looking and go here. read more

Best barbecue I've had in a long time. Will definitely come back when I'm in Lafayette.

Very good! Went with hubby twice to eat at Revolution BBQ. The first time I got the ribs which were very tasty and he got the pork BBQ - fresh and tasty! He loved the Mac& cheese that came as a side. I got potato salad which was excellent! The corn bread comes as a waffle - very unique! The restaurant is cozy, with rustic tables throughout, exposed brick. They have a bar also but since we are not drinkers, we haven't tried any of their alcohol. There was no wait when we went, and seating was plentiful. The utensils and napkins are on the tables which is unique. They have a selection of sauces to try as well. The second time I got the chicken which is what I wanted to try the first time but they were out the initial time - the chicken portion was plentiful, although it was a little pink. Definitely a good place to try for tasty BBQ! read more

Lafayette is (surprisingly) full of good food, and the barbecue is no exception at Revolution. The food here is stupid good, especially the brisket and the pulled pork. Also be sure to give their drinks a go. Excellent staff, always clean, and quick service. I highly recommend. read more

They have so many gluten free options, it is wonderful! All the food is delicious! We enjoy eating here.

Sampled an assortment of sides with brisket. The brisket had big portions but seemed to be pretty fatty. All the sides were hearty and tasty. They were out of grits which I'd love to try! Another customer also recommended their tacos as best on their menu. It was extremely busy so takeout was 20+ minutes late. They did give out free bakery items for those waiting. Just order early for takeout :) read more

Stopped by this cute joint for dinner. Shared a bbq plate with two sides and extra meet and it was plenty of food for two. The brisket was moist and flavorful. The cornbread was a little waffle. There were many choices of bbq sauce the origami and hot were both good. The Mac and cheese was amazing. They also have a beer and a shot for $5. How can you go wrong? read more

only been here a couple times, but every time we go, the staff is grouchy & rude. we ordered our food to go, the kitchen brought it out from the back & placed it on the counter & said "here's a to go order for ___." the hostess who took our order, continued to talk to her coworker for another 10 minutes before we walked up & asked if that was our order. who knows how long we would have waited if we didn't say anything. the food is great. we love the many options of bbq sauce. decent size side of mac & cheese. The gluten free corn bread is good & the offer a size portion of meat. it is also good as leftovers! read more

Fantastic food and a great atmosphere. Had the pork belly tacos and loved them. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Have eaten at Revolution twice since my initial review and the food was much higher quality. Must have been a bad night. Service is friendly and quick. Pies are a nice topper to the meal. Middle to upper tier pricing but good value. read more

We went for a late lunch today and we were not disappointed! The restaurant was very spacious and clean. The girl working the counter was able to answer all our questions and made recommendations.
