In 1937, Johnson’s Grocery opened in Eunice, Louisiana as a cornerstone of the local community offering canned goods and dry staples. The establishment began offering smoked meats, butchered pork and beef cuts in 1948. Mr. Wallace Johnson himself is at the Downtown spot everyday, helping package boudin and putting a smile on everyones face.

After months of research about building BBQ pits, Greg Wall settled on a multiple chamber smoker that he worked into the design of the building. At the beginning, they offered Pulled Pork, Sausage Poboys, and a plate lunch of Sausage and Smothered Potatoes, but pretty soon they heard the call for Boudin and that delicacy from the old grocery was added to the menu in June 2008.
