pete's on johnston

In August of 2023 we reported that the Lafayette staple Pete's restaurant and sports bar was engulfed in flames due to a grease fire. Later that week they announced they would be using this time as an opportunity to fast track their already planned restaurant upgrades and would be back better than ever.

Pete's on Johnston Street, a beloved sports bar in Lafayette, is demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity after a recent grease fire caused concern among residents.

It had been too long since I made a trip to Pete's on Johnston. So when the list of restaurants came out for Eat Lafayette I quickly signed up to go eat one of the best burgers in town, The Big Pete. Here's a video of my trip to Pete's.
