I stopped by this week for a few pounds of pulled pork to add to chili and got a rib plate. I enjoy just driving up to this place as the smoked meat smell is like heaven on earth. I really love bbq and eat it whenever we travel all over the country. The ribs were the best I have eaten in a very long time. The pork is also delicious.
I ordered the lunch plate and got pulled pork, brisket & Mac & Cheese. It was awesome!! I defiantly recommend this place to anyone that loves BBQ. The Mac & Cheese was sooo yummy!!! :)

Brisket sandwich., pulled pork and brisket tacos, rice dressing, mac and cheese!! Best bbq we have had outside of Texas!!!! Gotta try breakfast soon!
By FAR the best bbq place in Lafayette! Other than my husband's.. I am on a diet so I couldn't have the sides, which was a bummer, but I ate every bite of the brisket!! It was delicious and very moist!
We got the pulled pork, brisket, sausage, potato salad, and the mac and cheese. All the meat was so juicy and tender!!! The potato salad was perfect and the mac and cheese got the kids seal of approval from our kids. We will definitely be back. I'm so glad we found an amazing bbq place!!!

I just order from waiter from here omg it was so good I really enjoy it ..true BBQ ... thank you for making my mouth happy tender,juicy, with a lot of flavor......
Had a poboy from the festival in Lafayette and it was the best thing in the competition so I know they are serious about their barbecue. The pulled pork and brisket cooked spot on and coleslaw was a great compliment to the meat.
Had the BBQ for the first time yesterday. The brisket was amazing. Tender and flavorful. The regular sauce was also good. Nice flavor. Baked beans were spicy but tasty. The rice dressing needed seasoning. Will definitely be back for the brisket. It's nice to have good BBQ close to home
Yeah buddy! Some places only smell like Smokey BBQ but taste pale in comparison, not this place. all the smoke, all the flavor. Excellent. I mean grits with sauteed onions a fried egg and smoked sausage. Amazing
Best bbq I’ve tasted besides my hubbys highly recommend nice personable employees as well
I had some of the pulled pork, brisket, and mac and cheese. The pulled pork was delicious and the brisket was very nice too, but the pork stole the show for me. I love mac and cheese and it was so creamy and cheesy. They sell sauce too but I just had mine plain and let the flavor of the meat and smoke shine. But if the sauce is as good as everything else, then I might pick up a bottle next time because there will be a next time.
Got the chicken, brisket,sausage,mac-n-cheese,tator salad,this is the best bbq around , beats anything I've had in Lafayette an Broussard, got all business ! Keep up the good work .
Great stuff at this place. I've had their brisket, as good as any I've ever had. I've had their chicken, it is quite good also. They make an awesome pulled pork sandwich also. I don't live far from them and I'm glad about that. I get food from there once or twice a week.
Got a smoked ham for Thanksgiving and it is amazing! Not dry what so ever. Great flavor.
Tried the brisket egg rolls yesterday evening and they were excellent!!!! Can’t wait to have them again!!!!
I get a brisket plate, usually at least once a week. I could happily live on their food. Good people, great barbeque!
Always consistently delicious & I always have everything in my sack when I arrive home. The food is awesome & the employees are so nice! Best Barbecue! Best potato salad! The bestest baked beans anywhere!!!! Never Disappoints�
On par with the best bbq I've ever eaten....and I've eaten a lot of bbq!
Hands down some of the best BBQ around! My family and I are hooked! You guys ROCK!!!!!
Very tasty. The special du jour was jerk seasoned tacos and I could eat that every day of the week and die happy. Thoroughly enjoyed the Mac & Cheese too. Glad I finally got around to checking it out.
We got your pulled pork , psycho pig sandwich and psycho pig po-boy and they were all DELICIOUS!!! Your sauces were also very yummy!! We ordered thru Waitr and I’m so glad we decided to give y’all a try .... we loved it !!!
Do yourself a favor and find the little red building!! I've never been a "regular" at any establishment but this BBQ has turned me into a "regular". Portions are huge and everything I've eaten so far has been nothing short of excellent.
OMG!!!!!! This is by far the best BBQ in Lafayette!!!! I will become a regular customer.
Love the trash grits. Best place to eat in Youngsville!
Fantastic food and excellent service! We highly recommend trying East Gate BBQ.
Literally everything is good. If you have any qualms at all--Don't. The brisket is central Texas style and AMAZING, smoked sausage is killer, pulled pork is delicious. The only negative is that there aren't three more locations in Lafayette. Good local people making good BBQ, Lafayette needs more of these types of places and less chain restaurants in a big box store shopping center.

Try it you will love it! We got the pulled pork, beans and Mac n cheese! Everything was phenomenal! Easy good dinner to pick up when you don't feel like cooking.
We tried you guys for the first time tonight! OMG we loved it. The brisket was amazing and the psycho pig Frito pie was awesome. We will be back!!
Love the pull pork ,An chicken. The different sauce .the staff is great an owner is very helpful
Brisket and pork ribs were fantastic. Great smoke flavor, and fall off the bone ribs. Their original bbq sauce was very flavorful as well.
Omg, This is the best barbecue brisket I've ever had. So tender and juicy and seasoned to perfection. I will no longer get barbecue from any other place but here. And the me at falls off of the ribs it is so tender. I would highly recommend this place.
Solid BBQ. My go-to is the 3 Meat, the brisket, pulled pork and pork ribs are a must! They have solid sides, can't go wrong!
Just tried their brisket and pulled pork for the first time. Being from West Texas, I am aware of what real barbecue should taste like. Perfect smoke ring on the brisket and tender and moist pulled pork. This is the best I have found in Lafayette Louisiana. These folks know their kraft.❤❤❤
We were seriously impressed with the BBQ, I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich and my husband and daughter had brisket. Everything we ate was cooked perfectly and very generous portions. It was great to sit at their picnic table and just enjoy a casual, delicious meal as a family.
It is real, honest to God, BBQ. You can tell by the aroma outside. Several people recommended this place, the BEST BBQ ever, but also said, don't judge the book by it's cover. It's only a drive through window, or you can walk up to order.
Hoping the outside 'decor ' was done on purpose, but after eating the brisket, sausage & pulled pork after we got home, nobody cares. HAHA
So, be glad that you are sitting down when you drive up, and then take a big whiff of real BBQ at it's best. We got a lb. of each, just to try it out and now we wished we had gotten more. They also have sides, but we didn't get any. Maybe next time.
If you have been to the old "Shed" in Scott, this place makes that place look like the Sheraton.
Just look down to the ground as you walk to the window. Breathe deeply as you look up to the order board & order the best BBQ in the area. YUM.
I had the trash grits and the brisket egg and cheese on texas toast for breakfast. Absolutely phenomenal! I will definitely be going back. The portions are generous. Everything is so fresh and the smokey flavor is to die for!
We tried this BBQ for the first time tonight. I knew they were special when I saw what they call "trash grits" on the menu. Very creative.
When I opened my boxes and saw that slice of bread and how that mac and cheese looked I KNEW it was gonna be amazing and every bite was incredible!
Psycho Frito & Brisket plate are super awesome. Thought I was stopping for a snowball and found the BEST BBQ I’ve ever had for take out. The BEST BBQ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! Thank You Eastgate for great food and service.
If you're not looking for it, you'll miss it. A little red train car with a lot to offer! Definitely a Diners Drive-ins and Dives contender. Quick service! Open 7 days a week. I ordered the yeah grits because you can only get that on Saturday or Sunday and WOW did it impress! Huge plate of grits, pork, onions, and an egg. Soo good.
It's a bit on the pricey side but the food is justified IMO. The other knock I have is there really isn't a place to "done in". There are some park benches right next to it but with the weather here it might be a miserable experience. However, when we went it was an absolutely gorgeous day. So sitting out side and eating while smelling the smoked wood fill the air and the food being prepared would be ideal.
AMAZING!!!! If you love brisket. The kind that just melts in ur mouth. Then you must try this BBQ place. Their Mac n cheese is my favorite. And all their sauces are right on. You can't go wrong here. Best experience ever!
It was ok. It reminded me of Virginian BBQ more than Texas BBQ. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of east coast BBQ so I won't be going back, but if you like that style they did a great job of delivering that flavor. Plenty io smoke flavor, healthy layer of bark on the outside. The sauces tasted heavy on the vinegar to me which again reminded me of Virginian BBQ. Overall good execution, but just not my type of BBQ (hence 4 star instead of 5). Very friendly staff and good service.
This is easily one of the best places in town for bar-b-que. No liquid smoke or electric smoker, just real wood logs. The ribs and sausage were really good, and the brisket was spot on. The ribs and brisket had a great wood-smoked flavor and a beautiful smoke ring. The smothered cabbage was also a hit. Not sure about others comments, but for the 3 meat platter, we got a lot of food; and for $15 that's a good price. The only place in Lafayette I'll go for good 'que!
Best BBQ in Lafayette hands down. The rib rub makes it so that you dont even need to use BBQ sauce, but all the sauces are scratch made and unique and delicious. It's got Texas BBQ flair, but after eating so much Texas BBQ, I like East Gate better! And you cant go wrong with a single side, especially the cole slaw if you like white pepper and not too much mayo! Remember to look out for the little red shack on La Neuville!!
Excellent food, kind counter guy! We got the lunch deal (brisket and pulled pork- both super tender and delightful!) and the psycho pig (BURN ME BABY, awesome buffalo sauce- get the ranch on the side, it’s almost like an Alabama white bbq sauce and so SO good).
This place is so great! I’ve never had an issue, only when they run out of their delicious brisket does it break my heart! Love love love their sauce. Excellent.
So happy to discover this place after a long drive from Texas! The ribs and brisket are amazing as are the mac and cheese and cole slaw. The baked beans are almost a meal in themselves they have so much meat. Highly recommend!
