More often than not, it’s those hole-in-the-wall, back road restaurants that are serving some of the best meals in the state. This particular hidden gem fits the bill, and it’s one of the reasons that locals have been coming here for over 40 years. It’s absolutely worth the road trip, so gas up the car and head over to this delightful little sandwich shop for one of the best po’boys you’ve ever had.

You’ll find BJ’s tucked away in Broussard, just south of Lafayette.

The building dates back to 1902, when J. Gustave St. Julien built it for his son and daughter who ran the business as a drug store. The building has seen many owners over the years and has been a post office, grocery store, warehouse, and even a dancing school during its lifetime.
In the early 1970s, Josephine Spenser rented the building and turned it into Jo’s Sandwich Shop.

Eventually, the name was changed to BJ’s. In 1995, Glenn Murphree bought the restaurant and turned it into a po’boy shop, keeping the iconic name that locals had grown accustomed to.
Tiny but mighty, it’s one of those places where you’ll feel at home from the moment you walk in.
