Absolutely amazing. The best staff. You'll be full but don't miss the White Chocolate Bread Pudding! Found on Zomato. Definitely a must 😘😘
If you like boiled crawfish and I do, the ones we had tonight at Dwights were top notch. The size was medium and some a little hard to peal but they (regular) were seasoned great. The five pounds with 2 small potatoes and one ear of corn was $34 - so not a cheap date.
As early as it is in the season for Crawfish they were really good size and tasty! They are seasoned perfectly and do it right by not dumping seasoning on the outside. I have to admit they were better than Louisiana crawfish time in taste and service which is usually my #1 choice.
Warning: the wait is always really long!
Amazing crawfish, but you have to call in to make sure they have it! Also their seafood gumbo is better than my grandmothers! They NEVER disappoint!
Sunday BBQ yum, yum, yum!. I have wanted to try Dwight's BBQ for the longest time and finally got the chance today...we weren't disappointed! My husband and I got the ribs which were excellent. Tender with a wonderful smoky flavor that was great even without sauce. My kids had the brisket which was okay but unfortunately cannot compare with my father's which has more flavor. The sides were good, the baked beans were delicious and the regular coleslaw was also good the rice dressing and potato salad were okay but nothing special. Overall the staff was cheerful and friendly but they lose half a point for trying to get my son to guilt me into buying him dessert...NOT COOL! The prices are a bit steep for BBQ but they give so much food my kids could easily have shared a plate. This won't be our last Sunday BBQ at Dwight's!
Plate Lunch or Crawfish. For lunch during the week Dwight's serves amazing plate lunches. They are a little bit more expensive than the close to home places but the food is absolutely delicious. On Sundays, the line almost wraps the building at 11:00 before they open. Everyone is there for the BBQ, another Lafayette tradition. #Sunday BBQ. During Crawfish season they open at night to serve crawfish.
The absolute best boiled crawfish. The service is awesome. Been going there my whole life (started when it was Breaux's Super Chek Mart). Never disappointed.
Dwight and Susie know what they're doing. And they're doing it right....all of it is good.
AWESOME!!! BBQ we love this place , food it's awesome .
This place has an amazing Sunday BBQ plate lunch. I highly recommend the fresh sausage, green beans, potato salad, and rice dressing. Finishing it off with bread pudding seals the deal.
Some of the best food in Lafayette, home cooked plate lunches and be sure to stop in during crawfish season.
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
Plenty of food to choose from. Everything on the plate was tasty and generously served.
The po'boy comes with chips and was at a bargained price of $6.
It was also full of locals on a weekday at lunch which is a positive sign.
Excellent restaurant overall. The proprietor, Dwight, is constantly on hand to tend to patrons' needs and ensure that the food is prepared to his satisfaction. Fantastic staff—Mona, you truly are the greatest!
If you have not been here, it is a must.
Nothing fancy, just straight up good cooking. The étouffée was spot on, thick creamy buttery with a subtle bite.
Separate visit, the fried catfish was perfection.
Grab a bread pudding. In the top 5 of the best I’ve had.
I usually eat here only during crawfish season, because their crawfish is the best in town!!! Today I was hungry for bbq and wasn’t sure where to get some from. Got on google and noticed they served bbq. OMG!!! I ordered a pork steak plate. The meat was falling off the bone. The taste was just right. Even the potato salad was perfect! I now have a go to spot for bbq here at this place. Do yourselves a favor and try them!!!!
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.
I love plate lunches. I've eaten at every plate lunch place I know of and Dwight's has remained one of my favorites for years. There's 8-12 main courses to choose from daily, same with sides and a variety of bread puddings and cheesecakes to choose from if you're in the mood for dessert.
The BBQ pork steak is so tender you can cut it with a plastic spoon. Try dat 🤤
