Welcome to
Dwight’s Restaurant

We're a Lafayette tradition serving up authentic Cajun, Creole, and Southern comfort food since 1988. Founded by Dwight Breaux and originally started as a neighborhood grocery in the 1970s, Dwight’s has grown into a local favorite known for hearty plate lunches, Sunday barbecue, and seasonal boiled crawfish. From smothered pork steaks and crawfish étouffée to chicken & sausage gumbo and fried catfish, every dish is made with rich Louisiana flavor and a whole lot of heart. Whether you're joining us for lunch, a Sunday meal, or just craving a taste of home, we’re proud to welcome you with friendly service, generous portions, and the down-home atmosphere that’s made us a staple in the Lafayette community.
