My son was craving BBQ when we arrived into town so he chose this place in downtown Lafayette…read more There is street parking available. When we first entered I thought it was small until we were seated in another dining room. There are long tables for seating. There is a bar as well. We started with the Crispy Pork Belly Bites which were sooo good. Then we all ordered a different dish and they came with different sides. It was all delicious and my son was happily satisfied! Good size portions. All our BBQ meat had good flavor. Service was friendly and efficient. I like that the bottom of the menu there are symbols to indicate what menu items are gluten free, vegetarian or vegan. Very casual atmosphere. Recommend trying it!

I recently used Whiskey Whiskers BBQ to cater an event that had a "good old fashioned bbq" theme -…read morecomplete with horses on site, etc. Whiskey Whiskers BBQ brought in their HUGE smoker which was an incredible site and conversation piece, t-shirts to sell but they were out of rubs and sauces to sell because they are so popular!! Let me talk about the food....or the smell of the smoked meats....I felt like I was floating in culinary heaven! Our menu consisted of their Pulled smoked pork, pulled smoked chicken, smoked mac-n-cheese, coleslaw, potato salad and they even custom created smoked stuffed portabella mushrooms for a few vegetarians. Also provided drinks - incredible iced tea and some tasty home made lemonade!! Many who attended (about 150 people) are still writing me to inquire about this company and saying hands down it is some of the best smoked meat they have ever had - without the sauce even ((years ago I learned from the most amazing man Cletus on the backside of a smokehouse bbq restaurant in Charleston, SC that the way to tell good bbq was to taste the meat without sauce - that is what sets your tastebuds exploding and you know what....Sir Cletus was RIGHT). This outstanding group of people literally took the pressure off this hostess as they managed everything - all the set up, serving, fielding hundreds of inquiries about their delicious tasty morsels as well as helped tear down. The potato salad is an absolute must - I know I know....HOW is any potato salad different? Trust me on this - Jodi's recipe (which is guarded in a vault) is so unique, creamy and delicious you will crave it. The smoked mac-n-cheese - will send your tastebuds dancing. Coleslaw is so fresh it crunches as you take that first bite - soooooo cold and creamy. The stuffed portabella mushroom that Jodi said she just "invented" - well let me tell you I have begged her for the recipe as I crave that to this day (no luck - again recipe under the vault). Jodi & John Curtis - the owners of Whiskey Whiskers BBQ will become family to you....this isn't your standard "catering" company - nope - they are personable and their passion, kindness, willing to educate those of us who only dream to be at their level....well listen, they are good good good people and if you are lucky enough to attend one of their events, hire them on your own (trust me we will be having them back many times) or blessed enough with simply meeting them....your life is richer for it! OH and those tastebuds.....they will thank you!!!

I didn't know it was pirate themed prior to coming, which was interesting. I don't understand it, but I'm sure there is a reasoning. We placed our order at the front quickly, and had our food out fast. We were able to find a table easily. The place wasn't too loud, and felt clean. We had a 1/2 brisket sandwich with coleslaw and rolls, as well as "The captain", which we both greatly enjoyed. The brisket wasn't anything out of the world, but for the price I'm impressed by how much we get. The slaw was great- a mayo based sauce. The rolls had a nice garlic taste. The fries were crispy, and had plenty of toppings. Overall, for the price of barbecue now a days, I'm impressed and will come back. Two barbecue meals, and two canned alcohol beverages for $45, along with good service and fun atmosphere is hard to find these days.

So you don't have to go through the restaurant if you dont want to. Its dark and moody in all the best ways. I was warmly greeted by the bartenders. I took a seat at the actual bar even though they had plenty of seating. I was super impressed with the cocktail list. All the drinks sounded delicious . I asked the bartender for suggestions. I decided to go for the Key Lime martini. Beautiful presentation and it tasted just like a key lime pie. My friend ordered the spicy margarita. It came in a cool, skull glass. Overall, very impressed with the drinks and the service. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their speciality cocktails.

The feisty sauce was tangy and spicy--not to spicy, but the right amount for going back to work this afternoon. Cheesy potatoes are red skin-on taters, and are whipped with the cheese. Smooooth. The other guys at the table had the quarter chicken (skin was so crispy and good), the pulled pork (tender, fall apart, and very tasty), and the Mac and cheese. Oh, and the baked beans. I didn't try them, but they also looked mighty good. They had run out of brisket by the time I got there, which was a bummer. We'll get it next time. Owner said he'd have pork chops too. Can't wait.

They make their own hot sauces and the Carolina Mustard is by far my fave. The pulled pork is amazing and you can't go wrong with any of the sides. I have some dietary restrictions (FODMAP) and I'm so happy to have a place I can go where the food is delicious & filling. You can feed two people here for basically the same price as Taco Bell.

But when you step in, it's a homage to the art of meat preparation. The owner Steve is a gem. You can tell this is not only a quality business but also a passion project that he has continued from his father. My daughter is a recent Purdue graduate from '25 class. We are not local, but from NJ. She found this place as part of a local walk and stopped by to pick up a gift certificate to give as a thank you gift.. She noticed they do catering- and thank goodness!. We rented an Airbnb for her graduation so family can stay with us and had planned to have a caterer. But the caterer I booked 4 months prior to graduation cancelled on me one week prior to the event! I was left high and dry. My daughter remembered that Beutlers caters! Steve literally saved us when all others could not or would not. He was not only empathetic to our situation, but he made sure we had an amazing feast and thought of everything to ensure we had the celebration we envisioned. The food was so incredibly good. My family was raving about it all weekend long. Truly THE best pulled Pork and Beef brisket we've ever had. And for a family that doesn't even like beans, they couldn't stop eating it! So good, it should be illegal. We had leftovers for days. Best of all, Steve told me he prepped all the food himself. His TLC was evident. He made sure we had everything needed, even lovely serving baskets and lighters for sternos! My only regret is that my daughter graduated, and I have no known future opportunities to call on Steve again to work his magic. I hope this review gains traction. I'm on a mission to ensure that word gets out about this rare gem of a place and the incredible owner behind it all, Steve Beutler. Heartfelt thank you Steve.
