Dwight's

Excellent boiled crawfish perfectly seasoned. I love the hole in the table for discarding shells. They know what they're doing and have for years.

When you want to go to a real cajun restaurant it's hard to beat Dwight's and it's right in the middle of Lafayette. It's by far my favorite place to go for lunch. I almost always get the meatball stew. If you haven't been, please do yourself a favor.

Absolutely delicious food! The ambiance was appealing. Love the way they set up their services. It made a lot of sense with picking out on a line of food. Then we sit in private areas... so nice!

My husband and I stopped here on our way back home on Sunday. I was confused after reading the comments and actually eating the food. They served BBQ on this day. It was cafeteria style where you went up to the counter and told them what you wanted on your plate. We had chicken, brisket, rice and potato salad. My husband said that the chicken was okay and the rice. The brisket for me was stringy and not very tender or seasoned. The potato salad was too oily. It didn't have any eggs, relish or celery in it. I liked the house seasoning, perhaps you should use that on the potato salad. Just disappointing. We also had the bread pudding with white sauce. The was the best item that we tasted.

These folks offer the best plate lunch in town. The Sunday barbecue special is dynamic. The crawfish Etouffee is the best in town. Blackberry cobbler, wonderful. The line moves quickly, don't let it deter you.

Dwight's is by far the BEST BBQ in Lafayette. Service is quick even with Sunday lines out the door. Ambiance is the friendly cajun atmosphere one can expect from our local culture. One can even order by phone and the order will be ready when you arrive...but I usually enjoy waiting a short time in line to look at all the choices of meats, sides, and deserts.

It's The most wonderful Time of the Year! Crawfish Season!!!@dwightslafayettePictured you see the "Raging Cajun" oysters. Hands down some of the best oysters I have ever had. It kinda had a pizza flavor to it with the cheese, bacon and jalapeno topping. Next the "Zydeco Ravioli" of the "Uncle Mark Special" which was 2lbs of crawfish and shrimp.

Crawfish etouffee is a dish I rarely order in restaurants since I have a family recipe that's hard to beat. Don't believe me? Ask anyone who has ever tried mine. This changed on a recent visit to Dwight's. I was prepared to order something else but just looking at their etouffee, I knew I had to try it. I'm so glad I did. First, the portion is huge (see photo) AND it comes with two sides. I don't know exactly how they are making their etouffee here but it is just amazing. It's seasoned perfectly and full of crawfish. I didn't have to add hot sauce to the dish, and normally I do to spice it up. So happy to have found a place that's not afraid to use spices liberally! As for the sides, I got smothered cabbage which was a little too sweet for my liking and green beans which were cooked down and buttery. They also gave me a jalapeño corn bread biscuit which was delicious.Dwight's is the kind of place that has tables with holes in the middle for easy disposal of crawfish/shrimp/crab shells. Look out crawfish season! I'm coming back for you!

Best burger in Lafayette. Service is quick, place is clean. Gets real busy at lunch time.
