Midcity Restaurant + Bar - Lafayette, Louisiana

I am so disappointed with the new menu and increased prices. My fried rice was so small and the bbq nachos were on top of fries that were under cooked. I used to love their concept and bbq selection like the smoked baked potatoes. Sadly they are no longer available.

Awesome “hidden gem” near the oil center. It seems to be a home converted to a restaurant. Lots of natural light from the windows. The layout is nice, indoor and outdoor dining available, patio had a fireplace and outdoor games. I’d give the food about 7/10. The sliced brisket was a little dry but the turkey was very good. The cornbread was fantastic, true southern style. Mac and cheese tasted like it had a roux base.
Lots to choose from on the menu, good diversity, also have a lunch menu on Saturday, which is awesome would be a good place for family or group dining, can get a lot of food for a decent price

Blake, our waiter, was a great guy and very professional. Outside patio is very clean and a wonderful environment for your furry pets. The food was phenomenal! We had pulled Buffalo chicken dip, pork, grits, Brussels, smoke shrimp on a fresh salad. Will definitely be back!

What a huge disappointment! They don't even offer meat options or corn grits anymore, only on Sunday's! I ordered sprouts and it took 40 minutes to bring to the table. This place that was once good will be closing its doors soon!

So - a BBQ joint in the middle of Lafayette, huh? Being from central Texas, and having Lockhart BBQ more often than I care to already, I had to try some "other stuff"...peoples' opinion of BBQ is as accurate as closing your eyes and throwing darts anyhow. According to 85% of the reviews, the BBQ here is dern good. So I sorted through the menu...

A smoked BBQ burger seemed to be just the ticket. And boy was it!! The ground beef was cooked perfectly through and still super moist. But not dripping. And the 'Q on top was the perfect touch to a fantastic down home burger. The Zapp's BBQ chips on the side was just the cherry on top. Y'all. Get this burger.

I also had a cup of the potato soup (where the serving size is much more "bowl" than "cup"), and I love potatoe soup y'all, but this is something special. The crisped cheese on top and the bacon burny ends bits took this from being a really good soup to and over the top thrill ride for my taste buds. I'm glad that it was 33 degrees this morning and I was craving a wholesome soup. #winning

I was on the road when I visited so I didn't sample telhe cocktail menu, but I assure you dear reader, there is a trip to Lafayette in my future where I WILL be taking an Uber to Tchoup's.

I was convinced to go here by a friend. My response was, I live in Texas and you don’t go to Louisiana for bbq and I most certainly didn’t come to LA to try it. He kept on and I finally caved. I loved the house and atmosphere, and the staff were super hospitable! But let’s cut to the chase. The meat (I got dark chicken) was sub-par, cold, and tough, and the macaroni was gritty and almost bland. But the cornbread and baked beans were divine! I also ordered burnt ends for an additional $3 and I don’t know what those were but they weren’t burnt ends. They were these thick, rubbery, square pieces of meat but the flavor was good. I also think most people expect there to be fresh brewed tea at bbq joints but not here. All they had was bottled tea. Then as we were leaving, one of the cooks came to the back to unload some things from his car and we almost got high just walking past him, which makes me wonder about who was handling the food. You can see into the kitchen and watch them cook the food and I noticed no one was wearing gloves or any other food service accessory. This is why I’m giving 3 stars. So while the food wasn’t great, the service and surroundings were, and those alone would convince me to give them a second chance. Maybe next time I’ll order the pulled pork and cheese grits and be wowed! Cross your fingers!

We had a private party on the back porch that was a huge success! Everyone at MidCity -- management to server -- went out of their way to help us pull off a great event. The food was fabulous, and every detail came through just as promised. Highly recommend!
