Heard a lot of great things about this place, so we finally decided to check it out. The line was long almost out the door which honestly got us excited, thinking the food had to be worth the wait. We even had a few good, candid conversations with other customers while standing in line.
When we got to order, we went with the rib plate and four sides: rice dressing, potato salad, green beans, and corn. The ribs were really tender not quite fall-off-the-bone, but close. Flavor-wise though, they tasted more like they were baked or broiled and then finished with BBQ sauce. They didn’t really have that true, smoky BBQ flavor I was expecting.
The potato salad was awesome definitely the standout side. The rest, unfortunately, were a bit underwhelming.
Customer service was good, which I always appreciate. I’d be willing to give them another shot and try some of their other meat options. Overall, I’d give it a 6/10.

I had the shrimp stew with fired fish, Broccoli and cheese, roll. The food was amazing, perfectly seasoned, hot and delicious . The Customer serivce was friendly and respectful. There wasn’t a long wait at all. The prices where definitely fair for all the food you get. We went during lunch time and yes they where busy, yet it was peaceful inside as we enjoyed our lunch.

I feel bad leaving this review because I love Dwight’s but they did me dirty today.
To start they updated their website, it clearly states the shrimp and okra gumbo comes with two sides, I got two sides of potato salad and was charged for the second side. That needs to be fixed immediately, literally is false advertising.
Second they serve the gumbo to go in a quart container, but they only filled it halfway, I had just as much rice as gumbo, literally as if I’m eating stew instead of gumbo. Don’t serve the gumbo Togo in a quart if your only going to give a pint.

Seaux Much Fun
Wow !! This was a great lunch!!
First off, I was not aware of the style – I guess you might call it Cafeteria Style
We got there just about 11 with no issue parking, and no waiting.
By the time we left the line was respectfully long and the parking lot full. This is quite a popular place with the locals, and now I see why !
The food is just great – very much home style and what one might call “comfort food.”
I am from out of town and not familiar with what daily or weekly specials they have, but today’s visit was just great. Def a place a roll visit again!
The dining area is huge and can easily accommodate bigger parties, or even a party of one…..
I love the decor here ( see photos). Very relaxing and lotsa older knick knacks.

We were in town for the voodoo hockey game so we looked online and found this place. The mushrooms and pork skins were amazing. The crawfish was pretty good but I wasn’t a huge fan of the dusting and they were pretty hard to peel. Other than that, everything was fantastic, prices are very reasonable. We had pork skins, fried mushrooms and 3lbs of crawfish for $38. Service was amazing, everyone was friendly and atmosphere was nice. Was much bigger inside than we thought from looking at the front of the building. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re in town.

Today I visited for the very first time. I must say who you have at your front counter makes all the difference. The lady was so welcoming and helpful. We had the 1/2 Etoufee and 1/2 fried fish and the Etoufee potato it was amazing! My 8 yr old scrapped the plate clean and I’m an Etoufee lover and many people get it wrong but Dwight’s has it down packed!

27$ Poboy with nothing on it and a giant box of mushy onion rings. I was going twice a week and getting more crawfish and wanted to try something new. I wish I didn’t , crawfish is worth five stars but this stuff I got tonight was insane. I went inside to get a refund and felt bad and just got a cup of lettuce and some mayonnaise and mustard because the servers are so nice.

We were recommended this place by our Airbnb host and I am very glad we followed up on it. This is a brilliant lunch place. Lots of choice. amazing portions. The BBQ pork chop was delicious. I got banana pudding as a side. My wife had the fried mushrooms and she said that they were the best she ever had. The staff were super friendly and helpful as well.

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
