    Awesome little restaurant! The hours are weird and seating is limited. The food is really good, just extremely expensive for small portions.

    Balls! More rice to meat ratio. Good spice
    Jamie B.

    I came here on a Sunday. It is a site for sure. The restaurant is basically a house with add on's to have a porch in the front and the back. You have to climb stairs or there is a ramp if you need. The logistics are kid of bad between ordering your food to finding a place to sit to getting your food. You wat in line to order your food in this tiny, adorable cajun shop. The sad thing is on Sunday, like most restaurants, they have to change their menu on Sundays and they don't have hot boudin available on Sundays! But I digress, besides that, they did offer lots of other delicious items. So while waiting in line, there only one door that enter. I would reconsider building an IN and an OUT door to make things smoother, since people are waiting in the door way, and food bussers are trying to go in and out of that same door, and customers after paying are also trying to go out of that same door. Once we got through zig zag, we went back out on the porch, which has seating or we can enter through another door - which I was somehow would have been connected to the food order section - and sat in there. There was plenty of seating throughout. The fans kept air flow. Clean bathroom available. I ordered the boudin balls trey, a pork belly double biscuit, and a boudin biscuit to try a variety. The boudin balls were good, crispy, small, more rice to meat ratio and full of yummy somewhat spicy heat. Very good boudin balls. Then the boudin biscuit was good, I think there was added bacon in there, but I liked the balls better. The pork belly biscuit came with some tartar sauce with some heat type sauce on it, my god! That was great!! That was actually my favorite. The staff were all smiling and friendly. I will be bac for that hot boudin, but I do wish the logistics of the place were easier without getting rid of the cajun charm of it.

    I'm from Texas and love Texas BBQ and was driving through Lafayette for work decided to stop for some lunch. This is the absolute best decision I've made because I stopped here. The atmosphere is quaint and family feeling. The food is amazing the brisket is cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The Mac and cheese is absolutely to die for its so cheesy and has the best flavor I've ever tasted. The potato salad is ok could be better just fell a little flat compared to everything else. Lastly wash it down with a Abita vanilla cream soda and thank me later.

    Great food and people. Everything we had was amazing. My son stole all my Boudin after eating three huge pancakes. The staff was great and love the history and character of the buil

    Beautiful day, Amazing BBQ!

    Let me preface this review with noting that I am a local Cajun, who grew up eating Sunday BBQ dinners from our local meat market. Those fond memories are now just disappointing reminders that I could have been eating here all along. Thd BBQ'd pork steaks are THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. Like fall apart in your mouth and perfectly seasoned. If your in the area on a Sunday, this is a do not miss kind of experience.

    The sign says it all.

    I was already headed to Johnson's Boucaniere already, but the sign out front advertising "hot boudin today" made sure I pulled into the parking lot. I love boudin and the kind folks at Johnson's even gave me a sample to try before placing my order. It was fantastic and I ordered a breakfast bowl with another link. I enjoyed the meal, although the BBQ tots weren't so great. With a little seasoning, they would have been pretty good. The staff at Johnson's was super friendly. In fact, everywhere we went during our nine days in New Orleans and Lafayette, we met so many nice people. New York writer Calvin Trillin once wrote that the best way to eat boudin was while leaning against a pickup. There wasn't one handy while we were at Johnson's but the boudin was might fine just the same.

    The BBQ here is amazing! Johnson's Boucaniere has been on my list of place to dine at and finally when. I have been missing out. This is the best bar-b-que I've had in a while. Everything was seasoned well. Service was great as well.

    Brisket and ribs were tender.

    Service was great. We are from California and the young gentleman at the register was very helpful. Food was yummy. I had the brisket with rice and Mac n cheese and hubby had the boudin, ribs, coleslaw and potato salad and a small cup of jambalaya. It was also clean.

    Boneless rib, boudin, mac & cheese and jambalaya
    Scott R.

    Very good bbq. Had the boneless rib, boudin, Mac & cheese and Jambalaya. The rib and Mac were very good. The jambalaya and boudin were not for me. But overall I think this place is worth a visit. The menu has a lot of great looking stuff that I was not able to try.

    See all
