This is a local restaurant that I have been going to for as long as I can remember. First, their Sunday BBQ is second to none in the area. Their weekday plate lunches are authentic, with local cooks and third they are my go to for crawfish during crawfish season. They have my favorite wild, fried catfish in the area. All around great place to eat. Dwight, the owner is always around taking care of customers and watching the food go out to his satisfaction. Outstanding staff, Mona you are the best!

One of the best places to get BBQ in Lafayette. We go here all the time. We have eaten the ribs, the sausage, and the chicken all were some of the best we have had in Lafayette. You get up to 4 sides in a dinner. All of the sides were good also. The best sides are bake beans, rice dressing, and green beans. I also stop in during the week for plate lunches that are also good

I’ve lived in this area all my life and never visited Dwight’s! We started going here almost every Monday night during crawfish season! I love the boiled shrimp, and my son loves the crawfish. The beer is cold, the drinks are great. The servers are very experienced and so friendly.

On Sundays, the BBQ sides are good, you get 4 sides of your choice. I wish the meat was actually bbq’d the brisket is baked, disappointment when you’re paying $16 and it’s not actual BBQ. Same thing with the ribs, not bbqd.

It’s a pretty good place to get plate lunches. They have plenty of plate lunch options. Food is great but definitely not power lunch. You’ll want to sit and digest your food. Nonetheless I never hesitate going back here for lunch. Their boiled crawfish is pretty good too when it’s in season.

Yummy crawfish and cold beer. Perfect Cajun cuisine served with Southern hospitality, charm, and sprinklings of “honey”, “suga” and “darlin”. If you’re craving the flavors of the bayou and want to feel at home, this is your spot.
