First time here. Greeted and served with the warm welcome of a small, locally owned business. Got a delicious shrimp po boy! Perfect French bread--not too crunchy, not too soft. Shrimp were fresh, well seasoned and fried to perfection! We will be back!' read more

BJ is a great choice for cajun poboy sandwiches for lunch. Not too far from the bayou location and worth the drive read more

BJ's I had heard great things, so went by for lunch. Tried the large cheeseburger on a po-boy like bun. Place is uncomfortably hot & crowded inside, service slow (they were very busy at lunch-time), burger quality so-so. I believe this has same owner as the venerable "Old Tyme Grocery" near the U L main campus. Old Tyme is a legendary sandwich place with a massive following across Acadiana. Old Tyme has had quality consistency problems in recent years, too, but seems to have stabilized lately. As BJ's is in my traffic pattern,I'll try to pre-order some po-boys to-go for next time. Be warned, parking is very limited, and there is ongoing construction on both of the main roads. Deserves another chance. Rick read more

It really pains me to submit this review as we have been going to B J's for years and have generally always enjoyed the food. However yesterday (August 27th), we were really disappointed. My wife ordered a 1/2 shrimp poboy and I ordered just a simple 1/2 hamburger poboy with cheese. The problem was the hamburger was cold, not even warm, the shredded cheese they used didn't even melt and in fact was cold. Very disappointing. read more

Great po boys shrimp. Been here twice and never disappointed. Will definitely be coming back

Great homemade plate lunch. Pork roast rice and gravy with corn and green beans. Everything was seasoned really good but I had to put me some Tabasco. I got a meat ball poboy for at home later and it was ok. I wish they had pastrami and corned beef. But overall a great place for lunch read more

I knew going in this place was going to be good. It's owned and run by the same family that owns Old Tyme Grocery (one of Lafayette's most popular poboy shops) and they obviously are doing something right. This place does plate lunches daily so instead of my usual poboy I ordered one of those. Great choice! My smothered chicken over rice and gravy was tasty and moist. I had corn and cabbage as my sides and they even brought out a brownie. This was a lot of food for what we paid! I was stuffed! We also ordered the baked catfish with seafood topping and that was excellent as well. The chef came to our table and explained that was a dish he had come up with at the last minute to add to today's menu. Good idea, chef! The shop is charming and service is very friendly-you feel like you're eating in your friends kitchen. I love all the Saints, Tigers and Ragin Cajun newspaper clippings and t-shirts adorning the walls here. I will be back here for certain! Give it a try! read more

Not bad but not good.....hence the 3 stars....it's Old Tyme Grocery in Broussard......not sure why in cajun country, they serve a roast beef poor boy with deli sliced roast beef......grilled chicken salad, and half a boiled egg, really? Would go back, but only if someone else wanted to...... read more

From my understanding, this place is owned by the same owners of Old Tyme, and it did not disappoint. However, be aware, this place only accepts cash. This place looks like an old establishment, and not really sure how long its been here. I was around the Broussard area, and wanted a poboy during lent, and this was the place my friend suggested. We had the following: - Shrimp Po-boy - delicious and simple, and perfect - Onion rings - onion rings were good and fresh - French fries - fries exactly the same as olde tyme, good and delicious This place was up to par if you do not want to go all the way to Olde Tyme. read more

Siri suggested this place for our lunch and am I glad she did. Excellent roast beef or shrimp poboys with lots of condiments and veggies. Great sides. The place was fast and efficient. The interior reminded us of local stores of our childhood and it was a treat for us to look it over. I would have to second Siri's recommendation. Give it a try. read more

Best PO boy in town! Their plate lunches are also very good! And it's also very affordable. Service is always top notch. Highly recommend

Simple and traditional yet delicious! The Po-Boy is such a simple concept - French Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, some Hot Sauce possibly, and the fried seafood (or Roast Beef) item of your choice. Being this simple, it is strange to me how often it is not well executed. In this case, simplicity was mastered! First off, do not do what I did and come here without cash. They do not accept credit cards! That walk to the gas station was not only embarrassing, but a less than comfortable walk considering the heat and my grumbling stomach. First off, these Po-Boy's are huge! A "whole" is definitely two meals for me. Value is not bad either 8.95 for the "whole" is not a bad deal consider it's size. I decided to go with the Catfish Po-Boy and I'm very happy I did! There is a lot of catfish on this bad boy - probably 3-4 good size pieces. The fish has a great Cajun spiced batter and didn't have that typical "muddy" taste. I could tell that it was fresh for that reason. The toppings are what you would expect - shredded lettuce and sliced tomato. They also add Mayo and a little hot sauce (it wasn't very spicy, so I may get more hot sauce on my next trip). The French Bread deserves it's own paragraph. I hate to repeat myself, but simple is the best way to describe it. This French Bread is not of the crunchy variety at all. Also, I am not sure if they cut out some of the middle or if it is just made that way, but the bread is thinner than I am used to - a good thing in my opinion. It really highlights what is inside of the Po-Boy. Expect a little chewyness, but not so much to take away from the Po-Boy itself. Next time I am back to the Lafayette area for business, I will be back to try another one of BJ's delicious Po-Boys! read more

A very good lunch spot. I've haven't been to the local favorite, Old Tyme Grocery so I can't compare the two. I got a "Old Tyme Special" Poboy which was good, nothing to get ecstatic over. I've had better elsewhere. I was traveling through and got there fairly early, this place fills up quickly and parking is a little tricky. They are open from 10-2 Monday through Saturday. Bring cash...they don't take cards... read more

Was brought here by my coworkers for lunch. I should have known they brought me to another place for a gut buster of a lunch. My mind told me to get the salad, my stomach won and I got the seafood platter. 2 very generous portions of catfish, a few oysters and a couple of shrimp. This piled onto a bed of fresh fries plus a side and a cookie. The catfish had a thin layer of batter, to where it pulled off easily. Still tasted great with the standard tartar sauce and ketchup. The oysters were nice and chewy, can't say they were the most amazing but definitely in line with other fried oysters I've had in the area. Shrimp was crisp and not overly battered. Can't think of much more to say about it. For my side was the broccoli and cheese, which was the first I've ever had them mashed together. It was tasty and a large amount of it. I went cheap on my drink with just water, but it's mint water which is a nice twist from your regular freebie drink. Value: For $12, which is on the high side of my lunch budget, it was very good, especially considering it's seafood. What I should have done was taken half of the meal home for dinner, but after I had the first bite of that catfish I couldn't stop till the plate was empty. read more

Roast beef po boy! Got this before my drive back to New Orleans. Amazing but covered my face with grease but didn't care and just kept driving. Tasty! read more

This place accepts all forms of payment. I only say that BC of previous review. Awesome hometown little place. Had their homestyle special poboy and it was amazing. Their service is fast and friendly. They were amazing with the kids we brought. They walk up to you while in line to take your order to reduce time. There is absolutely no complaints about this place. Great atmosphere as well. If you're looking for fancy this is not the place. If you're looking to feel at home this is your place read more

Good spot in broussard. Shrimp po boy is my go to. Think it's the same owner as olde Tyme grocery. I've also had their daily specials and they are also very good. Prices are reasonable and the people that work their are super nice. read more

Went here to pick up lunch for me and some coworkers. One of my coworkers who was paying gave me his card and some cash, just in case. When I got there I found out they didn't accept cards. Turned out that my coworker didn't give me enough money. I was a few bucks short. I went back to my car to figure out what to do. I didn't want to use someone else's ATM and get extra charges and my bank was too far out of the way. Came back in to tell them to take my sandwich off the order. The manager was standing right there listening and told the cashier to ring it up some kind of way so that I could get everything with the cash I had. His words were: "I don't want anyone to go hungry". Five star service all the way!! Also, the poboys were excellent! read more

BJs has the best Poboy's this side of Lafayette (I know it's in Broussard). Stop in and pick one, they are all good. If the outside of the place looks to rustic for you just walk inside and eat a Poboy and enjoy the wonderful taste of Acadiana. Enjoy. read more

Best Po-Boys around hands down. It's owned/run by the same folks as Olde Tyme, enough said.

Awesome Poorboys and plate lunches. Everythings seasoned well and large portions. Poorboys are same as ole Tyme grocery

Yummy!! Roast beef Poboy and the catfish Poboy are excellent. Locals were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Great local diner! We were visiting for the zoo and Tabasco museum and decided to stop in for lunch with 4 adults and 3 kids right in the heat of the lunchtime rush. All workers were super patient with us and who I think was the manager/owner even brought my three kids a delicious brownie with homemade whip cream. Above and beyond! read more

Great find in rustic yet clean building in the heart of a historical area. I could tell by the clientele that it is a neighborhood favorite and I can see why. One of the best PO'boys I've had in a while. I will be returning often. read more

Small little lunch spot with huge portions and amazing flavor. Our group got several types of poyboys and shared so that we could try a few and no sandwich disappointed. Next time we are in layfayette we'll be back. read more
