    First Hot Pot & BBQ 4510 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy suite j, Lafayette, LA 70508 Finally!! I finally had the chance to try the first hot pot (literally) in Lafayette! What is hot pot, you ask? The concept is simple -- simmering meat, vegetables, and noodles in a spicy (or plain) broth fondue in the center of the table. Essentially, you cook vegetables, proteins, and carbs just the way you like it. Hot Pot is to have originated from China. I honestly don't remember everything I ordered, but this is what I recall: -Mussels, clams, sliced lamb, sliced pork, beef tongue. black tripe, mushrooms, and marinated sausage, chicken, and beef skewers. If you're curious to find more information about hot pot, simply youtube it! I definitely plan to come back here when I'm in town again! #Tonylameats #Lafayettela #firsthotpotbbq #chinesehotpot #bbq

    I returned from a business trip from a 6 hr flight were the only food was a snack, so my appetite was at its peak, and nothing better that an all you can eat hot pot. We arrived at opening and was seated quickly and being that it was on a Saturday the price is the dinner price. We ordered our drinks and broths for the hot pot along with our favorite additions, the beef is always great, added with the mushrooms, and cabbage. I got the spicy butter broth and my wife the pork bone base, both are delicious. The house beef is a must have, as the barbecue beef was a little underwhelming, however the bbq squid made up for that. The corn was great also along with the mussels, oysters and clams. Don't forget to go to the back table to make your own dipping sauces, and desserts, which consist of ice cream, small tiramisu cake, and fruit. Great family atmosphere if you're looking to enjoy a dining experience.

    The decor and ambiance is great. The servers the tvs on the wall showing how to eat hot pot and the hanging lanterns put you in a happy mood. The music is even uplifting. All of the smells from the various soups cooking can get intoxicating. I tried the Cajun broth it tasted just like the water we boil crawfish in. But it's not red mostly water and crawfish boil liquid. They have many varieties of things to add from meats, vegetables, fish balls galore and some seafood options. I really enjoyed the flavor of mine once I put the onions, mushrooms, bok choy and more. They have instructions at the tables to let you know how long to cook certain items. You go to a sauce bar to make the sauce that you dip your meats in. So depending on what you make it will help or hurt the taste. They have only 6 items for the Korean BBQ I really enjoyed all of them the chicken, beef, shrimp, mini sausages, and broccoli are on skewers and are delicious. The squid is sliced and awesome as well. Only complaint is that the tables are small. So my suggestion is to order the flavoring items like onions, cabbage, mushrooms, lettuce, and such to start off so you can get rid of those plates to bring in the good stuff. Just my opinion

    I had to get up and walked out. My server was too disconnected and I was too hungry. I will try again some other time.

    The place was nice. It was a good experience but the broth was unpleasant. Then there's a waste charge for not eating the distasteful food.

    I discovered Johnson's over a decade ago, long before I lived in Louisiana. Johnson's was my…read moreintroduction to boudin, and it was at that point that I realized I had been missing out on one of life's great joys. Johnson's is still in Lafayette, and still better than ever. There are lots of great places to get boudin from, but Johnson's never disappoints. This past weekend I tried their brisket, and that too was absolutely delectable. One of the many great things about Johnson's is the ongoing legacy. This is an old business run by a family with deep roots in the area, and it's always great to see traditions like this being passed down. From where I stand, these traditions are in excellent hands!

    We have been wanting to try BBQ for awhile, and saw Johnson's while actually going downtown, and…read moresurprised in a good way. Plenty of parking area, and you find yourself looking at the decor even before going inside, that along with the aroma from the smoke filling the air was very nice. You have to order before you get seated, then they bring it to your table. The chicken was delicious with the smoke and seasoning and good value as it came with two sides. The beans were standard and went well, along with the potato salad. The pork was amazing, tender and the smoke was special. The bbq sauce compliments everything. Will definitely recommend.
