Traditional BBQ with a Cajun flair...
This is the first place my now boss (then prospective boss) took me to when she was trying to convince me to move to Louisiana! Sold. They do a nice hot Cajun style dry rub on boneless country ribs that melt in your mouth. I usually get the 2 rib lunch plate, which comes with 2 country ribs, 2 sides, and a link of Boudin for roughly $15. Their Boudin is a local favorite (I call it Cajun pate because it has that consistency--ground pork sausage made with rice stuffed inside a real link). The link is boiled and not crisped or smoked but it is still dynamite. They have a nice BBQ menu that ranges from pulled pork sandwiches to more traditional Cajun dishes like gumbo. They fuse Cajun cuisine with some of their sandwiches, so you can get a grilled cheese stuffed with boudin, pulled pork, or brisket. They also offer traditional BBQ sandwiches and po' boys with any of their smoked meats and sausages. Good sides. You can't go wrong with the slow cooked green beans or the mac n' cheese!
They are technically open from 10 AM to 6 PM Tuesday through Thursday, but you should get there before noon because they start running out of things after the lunch rush.
Johnson's is also open from 10 AM to 9 PM on Friday and from 7 AM to 9 PM on Saturday.
