Revolution BBQ is one of the best BBQ places in town. The delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and quality service exceeded my expectations. Loved all the different BBQ sauce options and the pulled pork plate with cornbread and two sides was a great amount of food! We will definitely be returning. Carly went above and beyond serving us during our visit! This is certainly a must try in Lafayette! read more

Revolution Barbeque - Bar - Barbeque Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

The food was all pretty good, solid 8/10. The mac and cheese was my favorite. The crispy pork belly had a really nice bbq sauce and you could tell that they cook that thing for a long time. Best fried pickles i've had in a while too. The tacos are pretty good, just a little pricey at around $5. The service was a 6/10. Our sever wasn't necessary mean, but she was a lot more preoccupied with her table outside, rather than my table. To be honest, my table consisted of two high schoolers so I don't blame her for that. Our table was pretty much soaking wet when we sat down, so the hostess/host definitely spilled the drink when bussing the table. Overall it wasn't a bad experience and the food was pretty good. read more

Revolution BBQ is conveniently located on Main St, downtown Lafayette. This casual spot is equipped with a counter for you to order from. Once you order at the counter you're given and number and it's open seating. There is also a full service bar area. The BBQ here is great and I love that you can choose to get your tacos "mexican style" with Pico or "american style" with fresh grated cheddar Cheese and slaw. They have a wide variety of hearty sides to choose from as well. Some of our favorites are the Totchos with pulled pork, any of the tacos, the potato salad, and their specials are always great. This is a wonderful staple to have downtown. read more

Revolution Barbeque - Tacos and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

I've really tried to give this place a chance, but the super slow service overshadows the good food. The wait staff is nice but the time it takes from being seated to ordering to getting someone's attention for the check is beyond slow even when the place is near empty. Would not recommend coming here on a lunch break. The last time us gals came for lunch the place smelled like raw sewage. We asked the waitress what was up and she claimed she couldn't smell it? Pros: Meat is tender. House BBQ is really good! Cole slaw is very creamy. Mac and cheese is great. If you have a lot of time to kill, it might be worth checking out and having a meal. read more

Back in Lafayette, and this place is still the best!! Ordered tacos tonight, and they were fabulous. The strawberry lemonade was fresh, and the service on a busy Saturday night was still attentive. Here's a photo of dessert, the tacos were long gone. read more

Visited around 1130am on a Friday and just beat the lunch rush. As I was leaving at Noon, the place was filling up. The street in front of the restaurant was being worked on and the smell of asphalt seeped into the dining room a tad, however the smell of BBQ was stronger!!! I had been here for drinks on the bar side and had not eaten here before. I ordered the pulled pork and mac and cheese. The portions were definitely enough to fill me up. I used their House BBQ sauce and it had just enough sweetness in it. The bun was well toasted. The mac and cheese was very tasty as well. It is fun to go here and close my eyes and remember it as Spurlocks. They have done such a wonderful job updating it and making great changes inside. (They did leave the engraved signs on the restroom doors which is a nice Spurlocks touch) The service was good and the food was excellent. I look forward to dining here again soon. read more

I cannot sing the praises of this restaurant enough! Fantastic customer service, food and ambiance. We have ordered take-out numerous times and have always been pleased with big portions of high-quality flavorful food. We ordered our Thanksgiving brisket from them, and it was amazing (even the non-brisket lovers in the family were amazed by it!). The BBQ sauces are crafted in-house and even their basic house sauce is bursting with flavor. For an extra kick, try the strawberry habanero (which pairs well with the American style pulled chicken tacos). The service is always friendly, and I definitely feel like the staff are always appreciative of every customer that comes through their doors. Revolution is well-worth the trip downtown!!! read more

This place was hit and miss for me. It had a nice atmosphere. Very American, BBQ, rustic. The kid's meal is not very kid friendly (at least the chicken as the meat) they give a half of a chicken with a side. That was A LOT for my 5 and 9 year old. The kid's chicken was TO DIE FOR though. Seasoned so well and so delicious. I couldn't stop eating it as I was prepping it for my 5 year old. I got the brisket with bourbon bacon baked beans, Mac and cheese, with cornbread. The brisket was juicy, but not super flavorful. The Mac and cheese tasted good, but the sauce was grainy. The baked beans I couldn't even eat because I tasted too much bourbon. The cornbread was pretty darn good. The employees were very pleasant, and helpful. Next time I go, I'll get the kids meal chicken for myself haha. I was bummed they ran out of sugar cream pie and pecan pie. Maybe go early if you want some good desert. I'm definitely willing to give it another go read more

My daughter told me about Revolution BBQ and that I would like it, so finally we went. The place is divided in two sections. On one side, you order at a counter for take out or sit in. On the other side is table service and the bar. Seating is pretty limited in both. I ordered the brisket plate. The meat was juicy and tender. I ordered baked beans and mustard greens as sides. The greens were tasty and the beans had plenty of meat and were a bit spicy. I also got the cornbread that comes as a cornbread waffle and it's moist and delicious. My companions ordered pulled pork plates which were full of taste and tender. The potato salad is unlike any I've ever had and is amazing. Our server was great and helpful to us first timers. I'm ready to go back! read more

Revolution Barbeque - Brisket plate with mustard greens, baked beans, and cornbread. - Barbeque Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Ate brunch here today. Was soooo yummy. Only complaint I have is the waitress Aniyah never asked if we wanted refills on our coffee. Brought our bill and passed our table many times before you took my payment. She was more worried about standing at the cashier stand chatting with other employees than tend to customers. read more

Treats employees very poorly! Food was mediocre. Best thing about the place was Michael McCarty making up amazing cocktails. Won't be going back since he's no longer there! read more

A M A Z I N G!!! Ordered brisket, ribs, mashed potatoes, smoked veggies, beans....for a tailgate party at Purdue. They delivered on time, set up the food and our friends and family LOVED it! Nicole was great to work with and highly recommend Revolution Barbeque! Boiler Up!! read more

Because we are such regulars at Sweet Revolution, I had been hearing about this place for quite a long time. We finally made it out here! It had cute outdoor seating as well as plenty of indoor seating. I love the exposed brick and industrial vibes. They even serve their beverages in mason jar mugs, which is a plus for me. The prices for the food were very reasonable. The girls who took our order and served us were nice but unfortunately, there were some issues with our order. I asked for the pulled pork sandwich initially and was told that they did not have any pulled pork or brisket because of it needing to be slow-cooked overnight and someone forgot to do that. So I went with the chicken sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the turkey plate. We were given a number and our drinks and we sat down. A few minutes later, a different employee came over to us and told us they were also out of turkey, so we ended up ordering a chicken plate. To be fair, it was about an hour until they closed, so I understood them running out of things. The food was good overall. I liked the hot barbecue sauce and the mac and cheese was pretty standard, with the bread crumbs on top being a nice touch. The flavor and texture of the chicken was solid. I sincerely believe we came here on an off day with unforeseen issues, and I would be willing to return on a better day. read more

Delicious! First, Revolution has a bar with a pretty decent beer menu (including some Toppling Goliath!), so that already gets them in my good graces :) I got a pulled pork sandwich with bourbon bacon baked beans on the side, and everything was very tasty. I'd definitely recommend you pick out some barbeque sauces (they come on the side) for your entree. I tried a strawberry habanero sauce and a hot barbeque sauce, and they both added a lot of flavor to my sandwich (and mixed well too!). I highly recommend this spot. read more

Brisket and pulled pork taco american bbq style. Tacos topped with bbq sauce and coleslaw. Plenty of meat. Collar greens on the side. And great taco presentation! Half sweet / half unsweetened tea to wash it all down. Good stop on the way to Chicago! #spicemeister approved! read more

Revolution Barbeque - Brisket and pulled pork taco. Collared greens. - Barbeque Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

I was disappointed on my most recent visit. Pulled pork was chopped up little pieces. No smoke or rub flavor. Out of grit cakes.

This place is amazing, some of the best BBQ, I have had in years! This would be a weekly must, if I lived in the area. Great service, nice ambience, and above all, amazingly good BBQ. read more

Not a good first time experience. The server was friendly but the food was disappointing. I had the chopped chicken sandwich. The chicken was dry and salty, the bun seemed stale, it was difficult to eat, the chicken was so chopped it kept falling out of the bun, then the bun ripped. Not a great flavor. The side dish of potato salad was nothing special. Overall, for me not good. read more

I absolutely love the brisket melt in your mouth !! Grit cakes are phenomenal!!! Nachos are always a good bet as well !! Highly recommend the pork belly appetizer!!! read more

I want to share an experience to let you know the kind of people that own this business. Out front of the bar side door is a metal plate covering a chute the goes to the basement for deliveries. In September my family chose to go to Revolution for lunch. 5 of us. As we walked, my 70 year old mother hit the plate wrong and fell in to the chute, dropping 2 feet in to the ground, and seriously bruising her arm (which was x-rayed last month and STILL has a large lump under the skin). The bartender cam running out, and SAW my mother in the whole. The street crew doing maintenance across the street also saw, and two pedestrians came running to help her. The bartender went to get the owner. There were 6 eye witnesses. The female owner came out and looked at the plate and kept saying that "she just didn't see how that could possibly happen," and kept insinuating that this was my mother's fault that their pitfall in THEIR property was not secured. I have included pictures of the plate that were taken later that week when you can see they were attempting to fix it. This was one of the days of outdoor dining downtown, and there are no cones or anything marking this hazard. Unbeknownst to this woman I WORKED in this same building when it was another restaurant, and it was always a concern someone would be hurt on this plate. One person had fallen in before. The owner went about downplaying the incident, and saying she just didn't understand, and she would need to talk to her husband. We had to FORCE HER to take our number. Her husband never did show up. She never owned she was at fault (even after my mother said she would never press charges because her father had owned a small business). She didn't comp the lunch (which was marginal at best), she didn't comp half the lunch, she gave us three pieces of pie and never said another word. They never called to express concern, or follow up. She could have sued Revolution and the city, but she didn't. Even after two injuries that could have been very serious had she completely gone down the keg chute. These are not good people. Do not give them your money. You can make BBQ just as good at home and not give a profit to unkind people. read more

A solid barbecue stop in Lafayette. The restaurant was very clean and there was plenty of seating. I ordered the brisket plate, and selected cornbread, greens and Mac and cheese. The sides had really great flavor. The portions were large, and it was more than plenty. I'd like to come back and try other options, as they always have a daily special. read more

Went there yesterday for the first time with My husband. We had an absolutely amazing time and an even more amazing waitress named Christine. She was so kind and on top of everything. She was as sweet as could be! She made the experience absolutely amazing. The food was absolutely divine and she wasn't wrong about the s'mores pie it was to die for! Christine if you're reading this thank you for such an amazing experience! read more

A must stop for those of you in the area. The owner took my order and was pleasant and interesting to converse with while I was waiting for my order. His sister owns a GF bakery down the road so he stocks gluten free mini pies in his shop. I ordered the pork meal with two sides, I did an up charge to get the gluten free fried pickles and then chose the homemade creamy coleslaw. This coleslaw was better than any in KC I have had ( and yes I live in KC). He has four sauces, habanero strawberry, a white one, a regular and I can't recall the 4th. He makes all of his sauces, including ranch in house. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would order this again. It lasted me two meals with the amount. The emails also come with a quarter piece of a "cornbread waffle" which is gluten free. Yes! Gluten free! Just amazing. This is in the downtown area of Lafayette so parking may be tricky during peak hours. You walk to a counter to order, there are more than enough tables and can accommodate large groups. There was also a bar, they incorporated the original brick in the building for a nice homey feel. Must try if popping through Lafayette. read more

Now I'm from New England but this is the best greens I've ever had. This place is cute and friendly. This place has spicy food if you want, But you don't have too I can't say that for other bbq spots. It's great what else can I say. read more

Food was great, nice atmosphere. Unique drinks. Service was fast. Option for outdoor seating

Finally got to try Revolution BBQ! I came here for lunch with a friend. We had both heard great things and wanted to avoid the dinner rush. I've heard they can get super busy. Atmosphere is great! Lots of space in the building. Industrial feel and cool bar area. Menu is nice, with some delicious sounding appetizers and sides. I had the brisket taco, pork BBQ taco, Mac-n-cheese, and featured lemonade. Damn. The Mac-n-cheese was spot on. Tacos were very good, but I liked the pork one the best. Sauces are tasty, but wanted more heat. Strawberry habanero is not spicy at all. My friend had the smoked chicken sandwich, sweet potato fries, and a bourbon pecan chocolate pie to go. She enjoyed her food. They make house buns for sandwiches! Overall, awesome experience. Highly recommend. read more

This spot is just the absolute cutest. Parking wasn't too hard to find either. The menu is just perfect too. Plenty of options and things to try. I absolutely loved the brisket. So tender and flavorful. They also have amazing cocktails. Just yummy. My only complaint and it's just my personal preference, I was not a big fan of the collard greens. I did really enjoy the mini pie that I had and the fried pickles were very yummy and a bit spicy. I will be eating again here soon and recommend it to anyone who is in Lafayette for food. read more

Stopped in during Lafayette Fresh Air Eats. Perfect weather, Great food, price a little higher ($28 for two sandwiches + drinks) but was justified by the quality of the food. The portions of brisket and pulled pork were generous, and the sides of mustard greens and sweet potato fries were ample. The meats were some of the best barbecue Lafayette has to offer, in my experience. I hope this place is around for a long time! read more

Food was decent, I had the nachos and my husband had the brisket. Good portion sizes and presentation was nice. Service left a lot to be desired. We waited for about 10 minutes to get a menu and there were only 3 other people in the restaurant. Once we finally ordered, it didn't take long to get the food. I had to go try to find someone for drink refills and when I couldn't find someone, I refilled them myself. Finally a waitress came back into the dining room and I asked her for more ice. The other waitress with her rolled her eyes! Seriously??? When we finished our meal, my husband had to go ask for a box and the bill at which time the waitress told him to go ahead and sit back down and she would bring him the bill. This could be a pretty good place, but you need to make sure your staff is aware that the customers in the dining room need to be attended to first instead of standing in the back room chatting loudly. We were not the only customers who received poor service today. When we left, there were dirty tables that had not been tended to. read more

Great brisket and alcohol deals. Service was fantastic. Kitchen was fast. The environment was chill.

Fun concept of a whiskey bar and bbq restaurant. I got excited realizing that there was a bourbon flight experience for a very reasonable price while stopping in for dinner. I got the brisket and pulled pork combo plate and added a side of chicken. Coming from TX, it didn't have the smoke flavor you're expecting but everything was moist and fun sauces to go along with the meats. I would definitely come back for the bourbon and the atmosphere is fun as you get the downtown vibe of people coming in and out but the bbq didn't blow me away but it won't stop me from coming in to satiate the craving. read more
