Lafayette BBQ has been discussed here and folks have said that it's very limited to Dickey's, Lil Daddy's, and Dwight's on Sundays. I've recently heard about East Gate in Youngsville and was wondering if it's worth checking out.

I think it's worth checking out. I've had it quite a few times. It's definitely different than a classic hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint, but I think the quality of their food is up there.

Southside BBQ is the best BBQ I've had in the Lafayette area. It's drive thru only (I believe), but damn good. Little red shack behind the gas station on the corner of Albertson's Parkway and Youngsville Highway.

Southside BBQ
Did you mean East Gate? It's a little red shack behind a Chevron. I can't find anything on Southside BBQ in Louisiana.

Well, I'll be damned. That's it. I've been telling my wife to order Southside BBQ on waitr and she's been ordering from there. I guess she just knows what I'm talking about and doesnt have the heart to tell me that's not the name.

OP, it's good. Their baked beans and mac n cheese are legit as well.

Theres an East Gate bbq in Morgan City as well. Didn't know there was more than one. I've eaten there several times when I was in the area for my previous job. Very good food.

Where? I'm still waiting for Walkons to get to work. It seems they are missing an opportunity for a grand opening right at the start of football season.

On Alberstson's Parkway across from that cow storage box place. By those metal office buildings in that little restaurant on the corner.

Right?! They bought that place a while back, and it's just sitting there.

With all that construction they are probably not in too big of a rush. That whole area is a clusterfrick right now.

It's pretty bad. They seem to be taking their sweet time, too.

And and soon as they finish that interchange they are starting on an Amb Caffery interchange. Neverending cluster.

They have made it almost impossible for me and others to get our boats from storage and use them.

Yep. I wonder how much longer this one will take.

I also thought they were supposed to build a bowling alley around there like near the movie theater in Broussard, but did that plan get tossed? That would have been cool.

They still have the sign out saying it will be built in 2016.
