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 c
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 gre
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
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.

Best Soul food in Louisiana. The pork steak is so juicy. And it comes with a lot of food!! What a great experience !
Oysters were excellent! Crawfish were great, just the right size and perfectly seasoned! Our server, Kaelyn was fantastic.
They always have amazing food. And one of the best places for crawfish in the season.
Pork steak is absolutely the best in town. Bbque chicken breast 😋 delicious. Boudin is incredible.
Food is always great here. Crawfish was on point! We will be back many times!
One of Lafayette's staple. The place is always packed for lunch! Delicious plate lunches! Always a variety of selection daily.

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.
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.
