BBQ West

"I come over from Texas to handle some errands in Lake Charles and stumbled upon BBQ West and decided to have lunch. I was so impressed with the food and the friendly staff. I plan on driving the hour over again soon to eat!!!"

"My 341st 'cue stop in a 35 state odyssey brought me here for lunch. You order your meats first, and once you receive the plate, you move on to load up your chosen sides cafeteria style before finishing at the soda machine (coke products). A 2 meat (sausage, brisket), 2 sides (dirty rice, peach cobbler) plate with a diet coke ran a very reasonable $16.34. The chopped brisket proved lightly seasoned with a strong pink ring. The sausage was serviceable, the dirty rice terrific, and the peach cobbler surprisingly bland. If I was taking it home, I would add a spice to improve the flavor profile. The Texas toast is a nice touch. In sum, if you are in the neighborhood and hungry for 'cue, this is worth a stop."

"Waited for the older blond lady for 8 min to ring me up as she was helping drive thru more but the gentleman was awesome that fixed my food and another lady in the phone. They both asked her when she was going to ring me up. That brisket sandwich was everything!!!!!!!!!"

"We decided tried Barbecue West on the Weekend and I was not impressed at all. The mac n cheese was soggy and I got a 2 meat plate with Chicken and ribs and the guy didn't even ask me if I wanted white or dark meat. Both of course I decided to give them another chance and the food was some what better. I still didnt really get that barbecue taste, but the green beans were delicious and fresh and the service was good. I'm still not completely sold on this Place at all. Maybe I'll try one more time."
