I don't hand out 5-star ratings very easily because 5-stars suggests not Is the place great - but consistently great. After moving to Louisiana from Arizona a couple of years ago, I was actually quite surprised to find that good BBQ is a difficult find out here. Finally, I found Blanchards and it hit all of the right spots. Brisket, sausage, great sauces, and probably one of the best takes on the Ole Style meat and potato meals I have experienced in a long time - Blanchard's Poutine Dream. A mound of French fries smotherd in dark rich gravy, chopped brisket, and cheese crumbles.The staff is phenomenal - I, admittedly, have a bit of a crush on the waitress behind the counter - but then it could be because she is my gateway to some of the best BBQ in Lafayette. My only critique is that they close so early and adding options like cherry peppers, pickles, and onions would be nice.Blanchard's is not just great, it's consistently great.

Blanchards has my favorite BBQ since they were just a food truck, and they’ve only gotten better since they got their building. The brisket is amazing, perfectly tender. The pulled pork is so juicy, and you can sauce it however you like. I love the Poutine, but you have to be ready to nap after! Haha. The vibe is great, clean, smells amazing. They also have super generous portions for sides, and it’s really easy to split a meal if you get a plate with 2 sides.Dietary restrictions: We took my uncle with Celiac disease and they were able to accommodate his gluten allergy without any issues.Parking: It’s shared with the rest of the complex, so can be crowded but not hard to find a spot.Kid-friendliness: It’s a great family spot! Easy to find options for kids.

The food was to die for! My cousins and I had a get together and we spent almost $160 on BBQ getting a pound of each meat. When I tell we couldn’t wait to dig in once they brought the plates out it looked so good. The ribs sticky or normal are so tender and juicy almost fall off the bone but it still has a bite to it. The lean and fatty brisket was phenomenal I’m talking pull apart to the touch tender and the smoke ring and the glistening inter muscular fat looked so good. You don’t even need their sauces because the BBQ by itself is just a treat. Don’t even get me started on the Birria Tacos they were so good stuffed to the brim with meat,cheese,and everything between. After about an hour everything was said and done we all felt stuff,full,and extremely satisfied that we chose this spot.The staff were very quick to clean a table and get us seated after we ordered and not even 5 minutes or so our food was out on the table ,the wait time was minuscule. Plus they were checking up on us and were impressed this group of 4 could tackle that much BBQ. The customer service was great and so friendly and to be there around New Years time felt so good to be surrounded by family and such a great atmosphere. 10/10 Recommend this place when your in Lafayette.
So I dropped in today,usually I order and get it picked up for me,but I must say it was just about to close and the young lady at the counter was really nice and helpful,the employees was doing work and the food came quickly and I love it, 1 meat meal ,Brisket with 2 sides,but will try the 3 meat meal just to taste,I gotten the kids the brisket sandwich, with fries & they enjoyed it,but God spare, i will dine in and let them explore the menu!p.s. good, different bar-que sauces!
They have a very friendly staff and the Barbecue Ribs were the best by far. I will definitely be going back.Parking: There is no problem with parking and they do have handicap parking.Kid-friendliness: It’s a Family atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: It wouldn’t be a problem if someone is in a wheelchair.
Have had the nachos and poutine dream and both are delicious!! I get the poutine dream with light Gravy and it's so dang good.

❤?❤ This place is AMAZING! OMG the food is out of this world if I could give it a 20 I would. The portions are huge! Best BBQ I've ever had. They have the most unique BBQ sauces I loved the Creole Mustard, Ancho and Root Beer ? heck they were all delicious ?
Amazing BBQ! BBQ Sauces and Sides are very different, but the food is excellent! Worth every penny! Smoked perfectly! Tender and moist! I love the fatty sliced brisket, burnt ends, ribs and turkey!Try the Sticky ribs!!! Yum!!!

So the only reason they lost 1 star is they randomly throw untoasted white bread ontop of everything everywhere else I've been it gets toasted/garlic toast.I got the 2 meat plate 19$ comes with 2 sides VERY GOOD PRICE!Ribs 9.5/10 very very good super tenderBrisket 7.5/10 moist but kind of lacking maybe a bit more fat could have just been the pull I got still I'd eat it again.Mac and cheese 6.5/10 it's creamy but whatever they sprinkle on top was just not my personal favorite.Fries 9/10 super good well seasoned loved themWheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp

Best Barbecue in Lafayette!!! My personal favorite is the turkey with their mac and cheese. But honestly everything from there is good!! I've tried other things off my husband's plate! The ribs, the brisket, the sausage. Everything is good, fresh, and delicious!! Fantastic service!!They may be out of something when you get there though but it's worth it!!
The best bar-b-que in Acadiana.
