13 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Carencro

“There was a bit of a wait Sunday morning. I had called in my order and still had a good wait in line. For those unaware of the process, call in the order and wait in line. Give them your name,pay for the food, and proceed to the pick-up window. Anyway, I ordered the ribs and 2 pork steak plates. If you want the brisket,chicken, or sausage plates, then arrive early. They will sell out and you will miss out.“

“🌟 5 Stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. I finally tried Veronica Café, and I’m officially mad at myself for waiting this long — because this place? Mind. Blown. I’ve had my fair share of plate lunches over the years, but this was on another level. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection. The red beans and rice had that perfect smoky flavor — rich, hearty, and balanced. Nothing overwhelmed anything else. Just good, soulful food that makes you close your eyes and nod like “yes, THIS.” The mac & cheese? Creamy, cheesy goodness that could double as therapy. And let me talk about the fried chicken. Y’all. Fried chicken might be a simple dish, but what they’re doing at Veronica Café? Next level. The seasoning was chef’s kiss — not too salty, not too spicy, not too bland — just flavorful all the way through. Every bite had me wondering how they made it taste that good. You can feel the love in every dish. I genuinely believe everything was cooked with care, intention, and soul. After today, this is officially my go-to spot for plate lunches. Thank you, Veronica Café, for kicking my tastebuds into happy gear. I’ll be back — probably sooner than I should admit. 💛“

“We had a very good lunch there today. The chopped beef and the Melt were delicious. And the hand cut fries were great, some with parm and some without. I look forward to going there again and trying the burger and other sides!“

“I didn’t know Blanchard and Bbq could go in the same sentence, and y’all prove me wrong🥳 We were very happy with our food and definitely will be back!“

“The food was very good, worth the price. I was able to eat half, and bring the other half to work.“

“Well seasoned; healthy portions; variety; awesome customer service!!!“

“I passed by this place many times and had been wanting to try it. I finally got a chance to as I was passing by on a Sunday.

I ordered two Sunday BBQ plate lunches. Overall they were tasty. Tried a few different things as sides; we had two plates.

The brisket, pork steak were both good choices.

Yams, coleslaw and baked beans as sides were all great.

The mac and cheese was pretty flavorless and weak. They could definitely improve that. I wouldn’t recommend it.

The rice dressing was ok, but nothing to write home about. It lacks some flavor. As a rice base, it’s just ok. You’ll get it regardless with a plate lunch.

The staff were friendly and personable.“

“WOW!!! Is the only word to describe the food! By far the best plate lunch I've ever had, and I've had a lot. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. You owe it to yourself to give JB's a try. I give it 5 stars cause 10 ain't an option!“

“Pit stop from Houston trip and employees are the friendliest from entry to exit. Food variety is grand and presented well by server. Tasted smoked chicken was blah blah blah & I was hungry. Oh, there is a turn table six foot toy display with old toys from my young days in the sixties. Go shop with the kids at a clean establishment with amazing workers.“

“Great Food!! 😊 Great service and festive atmosphere! But always packed…. Some wait time but worth it!“
