Reviews for South Street Smokehouse in Lafayette, IN
I've been here a number of times over the years and I just can't wrap my head around it. They obviously pride themselves in... their meat production, because it's delicious. What I don't understand is why everything else is so haphazard and given littlethought. We came in for "dinner" at about 6pm on Saturday. No one in the place. They were out of a couple items so we ordered 8oz Brisket, 2 sides and a drink. Tiny plastic sides dishes, hand written notes on the drink machine that a flavor was out, Saucebottles dirty and unorganized, many dirty tables, floor filthy, and the guy taking the order was pretty unconcerned with whetherwe were there or not. Clearly it was an hour before close and they had just checked out way before that. The thing is the pricesare not low. This is not a discount BBQ place. It's good food at a high price in a rundown environment. I just don't get it.Probably won't be back after this visit. There are just too many better choices for a meal in Lafayette. Read more
Surprised by the food. I'm a southerner and the food was great. Couple of the items were very different from what I am use to... but everything was great! Read more
After going to South Street for years, we were curious about the new City BBQ, so we tried it for lunch today. South Street is... so much better, we'll be back! To those who say they are never open, it only takes a quick call to check their hours, which arelisted on their answering machine. They are a small business. Don't expect them to always be open.

I love South Street. It is so nice to be able to come back and eat here again after they had to close for so long. The food is... still delicious and the bbq sauce is as remembered. I had missed this place but will be back over and over Read more
Went on a Saturday at noon and the service was great. Food came out quick and got a table no problem. St. Louis Ribs were... delicious and the bbq sauces were great that I had (Sweet & Tangy and Spicy). Overall, a great experience and would be happy tocome back again when I'm in the area on a trip.

Stopped here after a coworker recommended it. I had the rib tips with three of their sauces on the side. The tips were decent (a... little dry)but the sauces were very underwhelming. The overall experience? Meh. Read more
People recommended this BBQ joint to us. It's kinda a hole in the wall and that's a good thing. The brisket that I had was... really, really good, but the sides were a little bland (Mac n Cheese and Greens). My friend loved the ribs. I would eat hereagain. Read more
I got the pulled pork and it was less than average. They put something in it and had no bark?? Coleslaw and chili was less than... average as well. However, the staff was nice and the atmosphere was pretty cool. I like to support the little guy but doubt I'dreturn. If they can't nail pulled pork I doubt the ribs or brisket are any better. I know it's in a college town but the pricesare pretty expensive for what you get! Read more
