I've always been let down by Burgersmith here in Lafayette. The meat is always overcooked and just smaller than I would expect for the price. I love the beer selection, but the food always leaves me disappointed.

Bumping this thread because I went today for lunch. Wanted to give a review.
It's a nice place on the inside, I was unaware that this was going to be a sit down place and not an order from a bar kind of place. Kind of bland decor, which really isn't something to be concerned about.
I got their Grass Fed Burger. Figured why not for the first time order the "best" burger, presumption based on price alone. My dad got the filet burger (same idea I guess). Food took a little while but that was expected. The place just opened and they were packed. We were not in a rush, so never acted like we were unhappy with our food taking a while. Assistant Manager came over and apologized for the wait, which was nice since we never once complained. And gave us coupons for free beer and ice cream for next time. Nice play on his part.
Food came out and i was underwhelmed. Both burgers were really thin and well done. Luckily I got bacon because that was the only thing making the burger better than just average. It was just an average burger to me, which I was disappointed about. Fries were above average though, and the seasoning they use was excellent. For a 8.25 burger and 1.75 fries, I felt kind of meh about it all.
Since I had to go back to work, I had tried to ignore the bar, but when I was walking out I went over to see the bar. Our beer coupon was for their Burgersmith Ale, so I was curious. Definitely a great beer selection. 2 Bayou Teche, Hopitoulous, 3 Abitas (Angygator included) and then their beer, which they call an ale but was described as a lager. I have a feeling that bayou teche makes it for them because the tap handles were eerily similar. The bar will bring me back, especially if I get to leave at lunch one day from work. Unsure about how often I would go for dinner.
Until Fat Cow gets their bar situation straight this is a decent place to get a burger. If Fat Cow upgrades their drink selection though, I am not sure if I will hit up BurgerSmith's that much at all.
